The extension of the taxon cycle model to island plants: insights from the Canarian vascular flora

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Taxon cycle models describe eco‐evolutionary patterns of lineage colonization, diversification, and decline across archipelagos, inferring an important role for competition amongst ecologically similar taxa in driving concurrent niche changes.

Do CSR Efforts Reduce Environmental Decoupling: Evidence From S&P 500 Firms

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the impact of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) committees and CSR‐focused employee training on environmental decoupling. Using panel data of 2489 firm‐year observations from S&P 500 firms between 2009 and 2022, we employ fixed‐effects models to examine how CSR governance mechanisms influence the alignment between ...

Radar main‐lobe jamming suppression and identification based on robust whitening Blind Source Separation and Convolutional Neural Networks

open access: yesIET Radar, Sonar & Navigation, 2022
The main‐lobe jamming causes serious degradation of radar system performance in practical applications. In recent years, the Blind Source Separation (BSS) method has been applied to suppress the main‐lobe jamming.

Resilient networking in wireless sensor networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This report deals with security in wireless sensor networks (WSNs), especially in network layer. Multiple secure routing protocols have been proposed in the literature. However, they often use the cryptography to secure routing functionalities.

Hidden bifurcations and attractors in nonsmooth dynamical system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We investigate the role of hidden terms at switching surfaces in piecewise smooth vector fields. Hidden terms are zero everywhere except at the switching surfaces, but appear when blowing up the switching surface into a switching layer.

Domestic and International Health Expenditure and Health and Healthcare Use: Evidence From Mozambique

open access: yesHealth Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Evidence on the relationship between public health expenditure and health is mixed and particularly scarce for low‐income countries. Existing studies overlook the subnational distribution of expenditure and rarely distinguish between sources and governance over funding.

An Investigation of Range-velocity Deception Jamming Modeling

open access: yesProceedings of the 2013 International Conference on Advanced Computer Science and Electronics Information, 2013
This paper explores the modeling method of range- velocity deception jamming, which can deceive the victim radar on range and velocity information simultaneously. By analysis of the producing mechanism, maneuvering strategies and pulling rules of this jamming, the basic mathematical models are established by stages, as well as target echo and jamming ...

Towards climate‐conscious corporate restructuring: A comparative exploration of English and Bhutanese legal frameworks

open access: yesInternational Insolvency Review, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper conducts a comparative legal analysis of corporate restructuring frameworks in England and Bhutan, examining their capacity to integrate climate variability considerations and promote sustainable business practices. It discusses the procedural mechanisms for restructuring financially distressed enterprises available under the law of

The We‐Relationship as a Key to Addressing Dementia‐Related Ambiguous Loss

open access: yesJournal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pauline Boss describes the challenges faced by people caring for family members with dementia in terms of ambiguous loss – a condition in which the physical presence of the person with dementia coexists with their psychological absence. This article proposes the concept of we‐relationship as a key to addressing dementia‐related ambiguous loss.

A Shock‐Tube Study of the HCl + M →$\to $ H + Cl + M (M = Ar) Rate Constant Using HCl Laser Absorption Near 3.3 µm

open access: yesInternational Journal of Chemical Kinetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydrogen chlorine (HCl) is an important combustion intermediate during plastic (municipal waste) and composite propellant (aerospace) combustion, but the understanding of its high‐temperature chemistry is still evolving. In this study, the pyrolysis of 0.5% HCl in Ar was investigated behind reflected shock waves in a shock tube at temperatures
