Groundwater Rise Sustains the World's Largest Alpine Water System Under Global Warming
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Shallow groundwater depth (SGWD) across the non‐permafrost plains of the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau decreased at averagely 0.02 m year−1, adding 31.44 Gt of freshwater storage from 2000 to 2020 and sustaining ∼53 500 km2 of alpine ecosystems. A vadose‐zone capacity of 426.6 Gt reveals these aquifers as promising reservoirs, highlighting groundwater's ...

On a Possible Mechanism of Hydrostatic Pressure on Mineshaft Linings in Western China
Geofluids, 2022 Reasonable determination of the water pressure on the shaft linings is the key to the optimization design of the vertical shaft of mining. The traditional water pressure calculation model is not suitable for the stratum conditions in western China. A new

Rural Labor Supply and Economic Opportunities: Commuting, Migration, Tariffs, and Immigration
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Some rural counties remain dependent on agricultural or manufacturing jobs, but an increasing proportion have diversified economics. Rural counties also differ in their abilities to commute to an urban market characterized by higher wages and labor productivity.

Human‐in‐the‐Loop Swarms: A Bionic Swarm Approach to Real‐World Soil Mapping
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This article introduces the “Bionic Swarm,” a novel system that lowers the barriers to real‐world swarm validation by abstracting difficult hardware tasks to app‐guided human agents. We demonstrate the system's utility through the experimental validation of a geotechnical soil‐mapping swarm algorithm and show superior performance to baseline approaches

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Germany's Renewable Energy Sources Act (REA), enacted in 2000 and subsequently amended, subsidized national renewable energy production with fixed feed‐in tariffs for renewable energy sources (RE) from wind, solar, and biogas. Empirical studies suggest that the policy was creating windfall effects for landowners and attribute farmland use ...

Foliar salt spray exclusion and tissue tolerance underlie local adaptation to oceanic salt spray
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Surviving the effects of oceanic salt spray is critical for plants in coastal ecosystems, yet the mechanisms of coastal plant resilience to salt spray are not well understood. We investigated mechanisms of salt spray adaptation by comparing five latitudinal pairs of yellow monkeyflower accessions locally adapted to coastal and inland ...

‘Turkeys Cannot Vote for Christmas’: Why Epistemic Disobedience in an Anti‐Black World Matters
Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Never in the history of global coloniality has the idea of epistemic disobedience been as important as in the 21st century. This is not only because the struggle for decolonisation has shifted from physical confrontation between the coloniser and the colonised into a battle of ideas but also because the former has deployed the idea of ...

Brazilian disc splitting tests and numerical simulations on coal samples containing bedding planes
矿业科学学报, 2020 In this paper, Brazilian disc splitting tests on coal rock specimens with bedding planes and corresponding simulations by combined finite/discrete numerical method(FDEM) were carried out.The results show that the angle of bedding plane have a significant

Encoding and Encryption via Dual‐Wavelength 3D Digital Light Processing
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.Multi‐wavelength 3D DLP printing enables information encoding that can be encrypted on demand by applying orthogonal stimuli within a single material to trigger complementary responses. The 405 nm LED of the printer fabricates complex 3D geometries, while the 365 nm LED activates spiropyrans photochromism to program information into the structure ...
