Remaking place relations for social‐ecological restoration: Reflections on placemaking in South Africa

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecological restoration is an ongoing relational process involving interconnected reciprocal social and biophysical interactions that shift and change over time and space. Conceptual literature proposes that placemaking can deepen and enhance the understanding and implementation of social‐ecological restoration processes as part of broader ...

Declines in the diversity of fish represented in British domestic recipes over the past 100 years

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Fish and shellfish are nutritionally important foods, yet consumption in many high‐income countries remains low and concentrated on a narrow set of environmentally costly species. In the United Kingdom, fish consumption is dominated by a small group of fish, the ‘Big Five’, which is often treated as an inevitable outcome of supply, convenience

Structural Performance of Hybrid Fiber–Metal Laminates Reinforced With Natural and Synthetic Fibers: Tensile, Dynamic–Mechanical, and Residual Stress Behavior

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Hybrid fiber‐metal laminates combining aluminum with carbon, glass, and sisal/epoxy layers. Sisal fibers maintained strength, improved strain and thermal stability, and reduced residual stresses with less synthetic fiber. ABSTRACT This work studied how hybridization between natural and synthetic fibers influences the structural tensile performance ...

Effect of Resonant Mixer Granulation Parameters on Prill Properties

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Resonant mixing is a promising processing approach to manage mixing of materials with high solids content and has shown strong performance for mixing powders and pastes in energetic materials. This has led to the exploration of the approach for granulation of primary particles into millimeter‐sized agglomerates, including for generating ...

Comparison of nonchemical, organic and synthetic Varroa destructor control strategies in honey bee colonies: effects on parasite load, colony strength and health

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Combining intensive drone‐brood removal with brood interruption provided the most effective and consistent seasonal Varroa control. Abstract BACKGROUND Varroa destructor remains the most significant biotic threat to honey bee colonies, and increasing resistance to synthetic acaricides necessitates alternative control strategies.

Exploratory Analysis of Cost Variation in Unlisted Companies : Focusing on Cost Stickiness and Cost Anti-stickiness

Exploratory Analysis of Cost Variation in Unlisted Companies : Focusing on Cost Stickiness and Cost Anti-stickiness
The purpose of this study is to focus on cost stickiness and cost anti-stickiness and, by using financial data from unlisted companies to conduct quantitative analysis, to uncover aspects of cost variation and their underlying mechanisms among the group of unlisted companies that previous research has yet to clarify.
