From quantity to quality: the evolution of forest restoration in the United Kingdom
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Over the past century, forest cover in the United Kingdom has increased threefold. However, the pathways, achievements, and shortcomings of this expansion remain underexplored. Objectives This study analyses the drivers, implementation, and legacies of forest restoration in the United Kingdom before and after 1990, which is when ...

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 8, Page 3697-3725, August 2026.Mine‐water immersion tests reveal pronounced coal weakening (vs. minor concrete degradation), identifying coal pillars as the stability‐limiting component in composite dams. A coupled FEINN framework quantifies extreme‐pressure stability and ranks multi‐parameter designs via a normalized multi‐indicator scheme, enabling optimized dam configuration for ...

Geological and Geochemical Features of Alborz Basin Coal Deposits, Iran [PDF]
Journal of Sciences, Islamic Republic of Iran, 2012 The Alborz coal basin is located in northern part of Iran. The coal deposits of Shahrood in eastern Alborz, Zirab in central Alborz and Abyek in western Alborz were studied as typical coalfields of the basin.

OUT OF TIME? Chronocracy and Ageism in Brexit–COVID‐19 England
Cultural Anthropology, Volume 41, Issue 2, Page 193-217, May 2026.ABSTRACT Generation or relative age is a common way humans define social difference. In Europe and North America, old age is frequently perceived as a period of decline and loss, a condition “successful aging” paradigms exhort individuals to avoid for as long as possible. Explicit and implicit ageist beliefs, discourses, and practices marginalize later

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 1864-1880, April 2026.This study reveals the temporal and spatial evolution law of roof separation under the karst aquifer and the dynamic water inrush mechanism of roof separation. The FAHP–EWM–CRITIC combination weighting method was established to obtain the risk zoning of bed separation water inrush in a karst landform mining area. ABSTRACT Coalfields in northern Guizhou

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 1881-1902, April 2026.This work reveals the “C‐Y,” double “Y,” “π,” and “Y” fracture modes of thick, hard strata and their progressive breaking process (O‐F‐R/S mode), providing a theoretical basis for controlling strong ground pressure in deep mining. ABSTRACT In response to the dynamic hazards caused by the fracture of thick‐hard strata in deep mining, this study ...
