Mobilizing Presence across Borders: Devotion to Papua New Guinea's Blessed Peter To Rot in Australia
Oceania, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article engages with the conjunctures between migration and religion by focusing on the celebration of Papua New Guinea's ‘National Patron Saint’, the Blessed Peter To Rot, in the Australian diaspora. Both in Sydney and Brisbane, Catholic Papua New Guinea (PNG) migrants have been ‘relocating’ PNG shrines, regalia, relics and ritual ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Climatic conditions shape phenotypic evolution by driving adaptations that optimise organismal function. Invasive species provide valuable systems to study these processes, as they often encounter novel climatic conditions in their introduced ranges. The European rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus, native to the Iberian Peninsula, has established populations

Buildings as accidental habitat: Where animals nest, sleep and forage
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Animals have long inhabited human buildings alongside us, but our understanding comes from isolated studies, such as reports of a possum in the roof or a bat in our walls. What we lack is the building's perspective: which building features actually serve as habitat and for whom?

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.This study investigates the use of waste slate dust as a filler in recycled PET. Incorporating up to 20 wt% slate dust caused no filler‐induced molecular degradation, increased the crystallization temperature, thermal conductivity, and storage modulus. ABSTRACT Recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) is widely considered a sustainable alternative to

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.Adhesively bonded ASA/PA12 FFF sandwich structures reveal that interfacial compliance governs mechanical performance. Cyanoacrylate enhances strength but induces brittle failure, while polyurethane improves ductility and impact resistance, demonstrating that adhesive properties and stacking sequence are critical design parameters for optimizing multi ...

Evaluation of Polyolefin Encapsulants for Roll‐to‐Roll Lamination Applications
Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, EarlyView.Polyolefin encapsulants, PO1 and PO3, show best compatibility with R2R lamination, balancing flow, thermal properties and aging resistance. ABSTRACT Mass Customization (MC) in photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing enables the production of diverse, cost‐effective integrated PV products through the use of semi‐fabricates.
