Asymptotic analysis for radial sign-changing solutions of the Brezis-Nirenberg problem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We study the asymptotic behavior, as $lambda ightarrow 0$, of least energy radial sign-changing solutions $u_lambda$, of the Brezis--Nirenberg problem $$-Delta u = lambda u + |u|^{2^* -2}u quad hbox{in} B_1$$ $$u=0 quad hbox{on} partial B_1 ...

Phasing Out Coal Power Through Cross‐Border Renewable Energy Trade in the Asia‐Pacific

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coal remains the backbone of electricity generation in the Asia‐Pacific region, accounting for half of total regional output and two‐thirds of global coal‐fired capacity. The substantial environmental and public‐health externalities of coal highlight the urgent need to accelerate the renewable energy transition.

Self‐Assembled hBN Wrinkles as Planar Optofluidic Channels

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Thermally induced wrinkling creates nanochannel networks in hexagonal boron nitride flakes without lithography. Channel dimensions depend on flake thickness and substrate. Liquid infiltration into the networks and fluorescence localization of DNA along the channels highlight their potential as a scalable, optically addressable planar nanofluidic ...

Reverse engineering strut‐and‐tie models for assessing reinforced concrete structures

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Strut‐and‐tie models enable the design of reinforced concrete structures with static or geometrical discontinuities, providing interpretability and control over the load path. These models are valuable for designing discontinuity regions of new structures and for validating nonlinear finite‐element analysis results. However, developing a strut‐

Mechanistic scaling of twig allometry and crown architecture in Scots pine: implications for moose browse availability

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Balancing moose Alces alces populations with forest production objectives remains a major challenge in Swedish forestry. We developed a mechanistic, data‐driven model of browse availability in Scots pine Pinus sylvestris saplings by linking shoot‐level allometry, crown architecture, and tree height development.

Nonlinear Neumann problems with indefinite potential and concave terms

open access: yes, 2015
In this paper we conduct a detailed study of Neumann problems driven by a nonhomogeneous differential operator plus an indefinite potential and with concave contribution in the reaction.

Semi-classical bound states of Schrödinger equations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We study the existence of semi-classical bound states of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation \begin{linenomath} -\varepsilon2\Delta u+V(x)u=f(u),\quad x\in {\bf R}^N,\end{linenomath} where N ≥ 3;, Ï is a positive parameter; V:R N → [0, ∞) satisfies some ...

AGRICULTURE IN A SOCIALIST CITY: Towards an Alter‐Urban Political Ecology

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban political ecology has developed as a critique of capitalist urbanization. This article develops the concept of alter‐urban political ecology to define urban environments emerging not from capitalist urbanization but from efforts to transform it. Drawing on archival research and ethnographic fieldwork in five urban farms in socialist Cuba,

GROWING GREEN IN US SUBURBIA: Property Value, Race and Domestic Landscaping Aesthetics in Mid‐Century America

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Much of the current popular and academic literature on the provision of green spaces is dominated by the assumption that ‘nature’ is an unalloyed positive, and that socioeconomic and racial exclusion from access to green spaces is a problem of unequal spatial distribution rather than of the form and content of particular urban designs.

The Symbolic Organisation of Political Antagonism: An Integrative Model of Cultural and Social Polarisation

open access: yesThe British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article develops a cultural and relational model of political polarisation that integrates insights from currently disconnected streams of scholarship to conceive polarisation as a discursive and performative struggle over sacred meanings.
