Illegal Gold Mining in the Brazilian Amazon: Environmental Degradation in Yanomami Indigenous Lands, and Regulatory Failures

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Illegal gold mining has emerged as a major sustainability threat in the Amazon, eroding Indigenous rights, forest integrity, and climate mitigation efforts. This study examines how international market incentives relate to the expansion of illegal mining and associated deforestation within the Yanomami Indigenous Territory (YIT) from 2008 to ...

Roughness Measurements at Small and Uneven Surfaces of Ceramic Foam Filters

Surface and Interface Analysis, Volume 58, Issue 7, Page 471-490, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the possibility of roughness characterization of ceramic foam filters using a laser scanning microscope, examining the influence of magnification, measured area, cutoff wavelength (λc), measured roughness parameter, and position within the ceramic foam on the measured roughness data. Firstly, the effect of magnification

Solvent‐Induced Surface Morphology Probed by NP‐SIMS

Surface and Interface Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Surface morphology, that is, roughness and molecular arrangement, is known to have an impact on secondary ion mass spectra. The present study examines this issue using nanoprojectile secondary ion mass spectrometry (NP‐SIMS). NP‐SIMS involves bombarding the analyte with individual nanoparticles resolved in space and time and recording the ...

Reconfigurable Nanogap SERS for Multiscale Molecular Sensing on Curved Surfaces

Small, EarlyView.
Reconfigurable Au‐coated SMP nanocomposites enable adaptive SERS through reversible tuning of Au─Au nanogaps. Embedded AgNPs serve as photothermal triggers and reinforcements. Wide gaps facilitate macromolecule detection, while narrowed gaps enhance small‐molecule signals for reliable multiscale sensing on curved surfaces.

Rethinking Face‐to‐Face Interaction: Lessons from Studies of “Autistic Sociality”

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
Face‐to‐face interaction is a foundational concept in microsociology. This article surveys the social experiences of autistic people, who are commonly known for having a strained relationship with interactions face to face. By interpretively reviewing and synthesizing the broader literature on “autistic sociality,” the article provides a nuanced ...
