Leveraging machine learning and citizen science data to describe flowering phenology across South Africa

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Recent shifts in flowering times are an index of, and a response to, human driven climate change. However, most information on these flowering changes is heavily skewed to the northern hemisphere. This imbalance limits our understanding of how climate change is affecting ecosystems, including the mismatches of flowering times between species, increased

Thermohydrogen‐Induced α→β Phase Transition and Interfacial Aggregation: A Diffusion Bonding Mechanism for Ti65 Alloy at Low Temperatures

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diffusion bonding (DB) of near‐α titanium alloys requires high temperatures, which can cause grain coarsening, structural deformations, and degradation of the workpiece's mechanical characteristics. In this study, thermal hydrogen processing (THP) was applied to Ti65, combined with selective magnetron sputtering of a Ti‐Al thin film to promote

Band Edge Reorganization via Symmetry Constraints in Covalent Bonding Heterojunctions Boosts Photocatalytic Metronidazole Degradation

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The covalent bonds at heterojunction interfaces enable more efficient charge carrier separation than traditional weakly coupled heterojunctions, with enhanced photocatalytic performance for organic wastewater purification. The interfacial covalent bonds drive energy band reorganization, rendering the conventional independent band edge ...

Interface Issues of Inorganic Solid‐State Electrolytes in Secondary Magnesium Batteries

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Solid‐state magnesium batteries (SSMBs) have gained significant attention as promising candidates for next‐generation safe energy storage systems because of the abundance of magnesium (Mg) in the earth's crust, superior energy density, and inherent nonflammability.

Ultrafast Catalytic Decomposition Reaction Using a ZIF‐67@Celluolose Nanofiber Composite‐Based Cobalt/ Nitrogen Co‐Doped Nanoporous Carbon for Water Treatment

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recently, cobalt/nitrogen co‐doped materials have emerged as heterogeneous catalysts to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and have been applied to advanced oxidation processes for environmental remediation. However, their recyclability and reusability remain major barriers to practical application.

Using time‐series remote sensing to identify and track individual bird nests at large scales

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Time‐series airborne imagery can potentially track individuals over time to collect information beyond one‐off counts. Using weekly UAS‐based imagery of wading bird colonies, we develop an automated approach to identifying nests. Our algorithmic approach detected 68–74% of known nests and exhibited similar performance to human review of imagery ...

Cost leadership and pricing in conspicuous goods markets [PDF]

We study competitive positioning and pricing strategies in markets with negative consumption externalities. Negative consumption externality is modeled as a decrease in preference for a product as more consumers purchase the same product.

A Note on Wealth as a Corruption-Controlling Device [PDF]

In the standard moral hazard model, withholding of effort by the agent is not observable to the principal. We argue that this assumption has to be changed in applications that study corruption. The overwhelming majority of cases where corrupt politicians

Decoding Sustainable Development in Fashion: Abductive Insights From Meta‐Analysis

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable fashion consumer behavior (SFCB) has garnered increasing scholarly attention due to the global awareness of the negative impact of unsustainable practices. Nonetheless, there exists limited consolidation of findings across studies. To fill this void, this study adopted a meta‐analytic approach to synthesize 68 primary SFCB studies (
