Paradigms and Principles for Integrating Nature Technology Data: Challenges, Opportunities, and Next Steps in Real‐World Biodiversity Monitoring

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
We propose a set of paradigms (survey design, tip and cue, validation, consilience, interpolation and extrapolation, and data fusion) and prioritize a set of principles (metadata standards, use rights and licensing, scientific rigor, and utility) as the foundations of an actionable framework for nature technology data integration. We then analyze seven

From hypothesis testing toward inference to the best explanation: A PEEBI testimonial structure for abductive studies in strategy

Strategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Though scholars employ abduction, there is no agreed‐upon structure to reporting their findings. Moreover, the traditional hypo‐deductive reasoning structure does not align with the epistemology of abduction. We propose an abductive testimonial structure, termed PEEBI, which consists of five sections in which the authors take ...

Synthesis of Amorphous‐Crystalline Mixture Boron Nitride for Balanced Resistive Switching Operation

Small, EarlyView.
An amorphous–crystalline mixture BN (acm‐BN) is synthesized through low‐pressure chemical vapor deposition, achieving balanced resistive switching with low SET voltage and stable RESET. High‐resolution transmission electron microscopy reveals that BN films are fully amorphous at 930 °C, a mixed amorphous–crystalline phase is achieved at 990 °C.
