Is the Plastic Waste Trade a Barrier to Sustainable Development? Empirical Evidence From RCEP Countries

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is widespread consensus on the threats that plastic waste poses to the environment. A significant obstacle to sustainable development, the trade in plastic waste may contribute to plastic pollution. The objective of this research is to look at how the import and export of plastic waste affect the sustainable development of Regional ...

Efficient polarization entanglement purification based on parametric down-conversion sources with cross-Kerr nonlinearity

open access: yes, 2008
We present a way for entanglement purification based on two parametric down-conversion (PDC) sources with cross-Kerr nonlinearities. It is comprised of two processes.

Globalization, internal migration, and public goods provision in emerging economies

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Globalization can introduce new employment opportunities to emerging economies in multinational corporations and exporting firms. Who is best positioned to benefit, and what are the political consequences for “left behind” areas? We argue that primarily advantaged groups seize these opportunities through internal migration toward centers of ...

Beyond species diversity: Functional responses of cave arthropods to microclimatic stability and structural complexity

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Species richness declined along cave microclimatic gradient, while diversity increased with habitat heterogeneity, highlighting distinct roles of abiotic conditions and structural complexity in shaping arthropod communities. Functional traits shifted along the microclimatic gradient, with larger‐bodied and more eye‐regressed arthropods dominating under

The Forgotten Pink Salmon in the Laurentian Great Lakes: An Unexpected Invasion With Insights for Three Oceans

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introductions of species outside their native range, such as pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) in the Laurentian Great Lakes, can serve as unplanned experiments that provide new insights into ecological adaptation. We synthesize available information on the understudied Great Lakes pink salmon invasion and highlight how this case can inform

Kerr coefficients of plasma resonances in Josephson junction chains

open access: yes, 2015
We present an experimental and theoretical analysis of the self- and cross-Kerr effect of extended plasma resonances in Josephson junction chains. We calculate the Kerr coefficients by deriving and diagonalizing the Hamiltonian of a linear circuit model ...

Extremism at the center: Uncovering political diversity among midpoint responders on the left–right self‐placement item

open access: yesPolitical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract The midpoint of the left‐right self‐placement item is hiding important political diversity, and may be conflating moderate responders with populists and other political sub‐groups. Survey researchers should consider this problem when examining relationships between political orientation and political attitudes.

Multi‐Metric Monitoring: Comparing Occupancy and Abundance Based Metric Sensitivity for Detecting Threatened Species Responses to Environmental Change

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abundance and occupancy provide complementary but non‐equivalent signals of threatened species change. Here, their relationship was nonlinear and responses to environmental change were context dependent, showing that no single metric captures all population responses and that combining both can better inform conservation action under global change ...

Euler‐Top Gaussian Modes: Structured Beams From Quadratic Angular Momentum Dynamics

open access: yesNanophotonics, Volume 15, Issue 9, 13 May 2026.
A new family of structured Gaussian light beams are introduced: Euler‐top Gaussian modes. Their ray‐orbital paths on the Gaussian Poincaré sphere correspond to the polhodes of the Euler top in classical angular momentum theory. This geometric and algebraic construction reveals a nonseparable mode family extending the familiar Hermite‐, Laguerre‐ and ...
