Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aeolian desertification poses a critical threat to ecosystem stability in arid regions worldwide. Although the combination of sand barriers and vegetation has been widely applied for sand fixation, its long‐term effectiveness is constrained by barrier degradation, slow natural development of biological soil crusts (BSCs), and the resulting ...

Shaping Liquid Crystal Rubbers by Chemical Potential Gradient
Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.Depositing a low molecular weight liquid crystal drop onto a uniformly aligned LCE leads to non‐uniform swelling, enabling temporary shape changes and bending actuation. These deformations are quantitatively modeled for different alignment conditions, and methods to permanently lock desired shapes are explored.

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Colorado's geologic, pedologic, topographic, hydrological, and climatic contrasts create strong but under‐synthesized opportunities for sustainable agritourism. This review investigates how geodiversity, and the broader environmental heterogeneity within which it operates, can be used to diversify farm income, strengthen place‐based visitor ...

Surgical Management of Non‐Allergic Rhinitis—An EAACI Task Force Position Paper
Allergy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Non‐allergic rhinitis is a frequent yet underdiagnosed cause of chronic nasal symptoms, including nasal congestion, rhinorrhoea, and upper airway hyperreactivity. Its pathophysiology involves neurogenic dysregulation, leading to excessive mucus production and vasodilation.

The Material Basis of 18th‐Century Meissen Porcelain
Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In the summer of 1708, the quest for making hard‐paste porcelain from Saxonian clay and other mineral resources succeeded. This was achieved by applying as its essential ingredient newly discovered pure kaolin from Heidelsberg near Aue, western Saxon Ore Mountains.

Talc‐Tempered Pottery From Bala Hissar, Kabul: An Analytical Study
Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Potsherds of cooking ware excavated at Bala Hissar archaeological site in Kabul were studied using X‐ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscope‐energy dispersive X‐ray spectrometry (SEM‐EDS), Raman spectroscopy, X‐ray powder diffraction (XRPD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and optical microscopy.

Dispersal, source and glass chemistry of a third tephra unit within Iceland's Settlement Layer
Boreas, EarlyView.Tephra layers may be studied to understand the dynamics and sequence of past explosive volcanism. In Iceland, the distinctive Settlement Layer (AD ~877) underlies almost all archaeological evidence for the Norse Settlement and is preserved in soils across Iceland and as cryptotephra overseas.
