Globalizing Comparative Public Administration With Integrative Contextualization: State Autonomy in the Developmental Path of Hong Kong and Singapore

open access: yesPublic Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The lack of a common variable for comparison has been a major obstacle to the development of Comparative Public Administration (CPA). State autonomy enables an integrative contextualization approach, allowing both the analysis of contextual individual country experiences and the generation of generalized comparable knowledge.

Evaluating astigmatid mites as supplemental food for Macrolophus pygmaeus: contrasting responses between commercial and wild populations

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Astigmatid mites provide low‐cost supplemental food for Macrolophus pygmaeus, supporting survival and development, with population‐specific responses and Acarus siro and Carpoglyphus lactis as the most promising alternatives. Abstract BACKGROUND Early establishment of Macrolophus pygmaeus in crops depends on the availability of supplemental food ...

Posidonia oceanica Leaves as a Natural Filler for Poly(Butylene Succinate‐Co‐Adipate) Composites: Characterization and Biodegradation Assessment in Seawater

open access: yesJournal of Vinyl and Additive Technology, EarlyView.
This study shows that incorporating 5–10 wt.% Posidonia oceanica, with or without micro‐talc, in PBSA preserves thermal stability, modifying crystallization behavior, and maintains good filler dispersion and interfacial adhesion. Mechanical properties are moderately stiffened.

N=2 Supersymmetric Sigma Models and D-branes

open access: yes, 2004
We study D-branes of N=2 supersymmetric sigma models. Supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models with 2-dimensional target space have D0,D1,D2-branes, which are realized as A-,B-type supersymmetric boundary conditions on the worldsheet.

Investigation of Micro‐Nutrient Elemental Distribution in a Black Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Grain Using Synchrotron Assisted Microprobe X‐Ray Fluorescence Analysis at Indus‐2

open access: yesX-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Spatial localization of various essential dietary elements present in a black wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grain has been investigated using synchrotron assisted micro X‐ray fluorescence measurements at BL‐16 beamline of Indus‐2 synchrotron facility. The results showed that most of the important dietary minerals like calcium (Ca), potassium (K)

Dwelling in a post‐fallout landscape: re‐shaping and sustaining life in a former evacuation zone in Fukushima Habiter après la catastrophe : redonner forme au monde et entretenir la vie dans une ancienne zone évacuée à Fukushima

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article explores the activities of daily life in a village neighbouring the TEPCO nuclear power plant in Fukushima. It argues that one of the potentials of taking a dwelling perspective – a phenomenological approach to living within the ecological and social environments – emerges most compellingly within a polluted landscape.

Transgression of D-branes

open access: yes, 2018
Closed strings can be seen either as one-dimensional objects in a target space or as points in the free loop space. Correspondingly, a B-field can be seen either as a connection on a gerbe over the target space, or as a connection on a line bundle over ...

Mycotoxins‐contaminated wheat matrices bioconversion by Tenebrio molitor larvae (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Larval development time, ADG, survival rate and substrate consumption were not negatively affected by the levels of mycotoxins contamination Larvae excreted most of the ingested DON and its derivatives through exuviae and frass The mycotoxin accumulation rates observed in larvae were always below the current legal limits for livestock feed Abstract ...

Patch Test Results With the European Baseline Series, 2021/2022—Joint European Results of the ESSCAA and the EBSB Working Groups of the ESCD, and the GEIDACC

open access: yesContact Dermatitis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patch test results obtained with the European Baseline Series (EBS) in its current version serve both contact allergy surveillance and (re‐)assessing the diagnostic value of EBS allergens. Objectives To present results of current EBS patch testing, obtained in 59 departments in 14 European countries during 2021 and 2022.
