Organisational drift into failure: a case study of the 2010 Pike River Coal mine disaster
ABSTRACT Time is an important and often overlooked element in understanding decision‐making under uncertainty. Whether looking forward or backwards in time, decision‐makers need to be aware of trends and patterns consisting of multiple factors and cognitive biases.

The Early Crystal Nucleation Process in Hard Spheres shows Synchronised Ordering and Densification [PDF]
We investigate the early part of the crystal nucleation process in the hard sphere fluid using data produced by computer simulation. We find that hexagonal order manifests continuously in the overcompressed liquid, beginning approximately one diffusion ...

Immanent Critique in Political Education: Indoctrination or Emancipation?
ABSTRACT This article assesses whether critical political education, which immanently criticizes society, is able to avoid the challenge of indoctrination. For this purpose, the article reconstructs premises of critical political education, contemporary theories of immanent critique, and criteria of indoctrination.

Measuring juvenile habitat quality for fishes and invertebrates
ABSTRACT Identifying the role of marine and estuarine habitats in supporting fish and invertebrate populations during vulnerable juvenile life stages is essential to achieve effective conservation and fisheries management. There remains general agreement that: (i) the quality of juvenile habitat is best measured as the contribution of juveniles to ...

The low intestinal and hepatic toxicity of hydrolyzed fumonisin B1 correlates with its inability to alter the metabolism of sphingolipids [PDF]
Fumonisins are mycotoxins frequently found as natural contaminants in maize, where they are produced by the plant pathogen Fusarium verticillioides. They are toxic to animals and exert their effects through mechanisms involving disruption of sphingolipid

Male mate‐choice copying: a neglected aspect of sexual selection
Mate‐choice copying occurs when the choices of others influence an individual's mating preferences. While this behavior has been observed across various species, most research has focused on female copying behavior. However, male mate‐choice copying warrants independent attention due to the distinct benefits and costs it entails for males compared to ...

Potential use of offshore marine structures in rebuilding an overfished rockfish species, bocaccio (Sebastes paucispinis) [PDF]
Although bocaccio (Sebastes paucispinis) was an economically important rockfish species along the west coast of North America, overfishing has reduced the stock to about 7.4% of its former unfished population. In 2003, using a manned research submersible,
