Temporal PV‐Power of Rooftops and Facades in Urban Areas Based on Ray Tracing
Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, EarlyView.In this contribution, we develop an analytical model to calculate the time‐resolved power of PV‐systems on facades, flat roofs, and pitched roofs in an urban area as a function of a full‐load hour threshold. ABSTRACT Distributed photovoltaics (PV) can significantly contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions in urban energy systems.

Using art history to explore society's changing connections with agriculture
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Food insecurity is a looming challenge that especially affects those least fortunate. Consumer food choices have a substantial impact on the sustainability of current food systems. Here, we use art as a lens through which to consider our contemporary and historical relationship to one of the world's most crucial crops, the potato, in the context of the

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.We screened a panel of 98 Brassicaceae genotypes (97 Brassica napus and 1 Sinapis alba) for cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) larval antibiosis. We found limited evidence for antibiosis across B. napus but consistent antibiosis in S. alba. Brassicaceae relatives may therefore better inform resistance traits for breeding.

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As ecosystem engineers, beavers (Castor canadensis) modify river corridor form through dam building. When beavers are removed from a river corridor, their unmaintained dams wash out, altering the stream's hydrologic regime. The assumption that beaver dams increase floodplain connectivity is frequently presumed but has not been directly ...

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Tax Avoidance: A Literature Review on Contextual Factors
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As empirical research on the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and tax avoidance has stressed heterogeneous results, this literature review focuses on contextual factors of this dynamic link. Seventy‐three peer‐reviewed archival studies on that topic are identified, leading to either a positive or a negative impact of ...
