Restoration of coastal dunes following tropical storm events often requires renourishment of sand substrate dredged from offshore sources, although dredging has well‐described negative ecological impacts and high economic costs. As a potential solution, recycled glass sand (cullet) made from crushed glass bottles has been proposed as a potential ...

Field‐based evaluation of glass cullet as a supplementary sediment source for coastal restoration
There is an ever‐increasing demand for sand to support projects like beach nourishment and dune restoration, but dredging and mining sand causes environmental damage. Demonstrating the environmental and ecological compatibility of crushed and ground glass known as cullet to support coastal restoration projects could simultaneously divert waste from ...

Can surface treatments and climate matching enhance restoration success in the Sonoran Desert?
Abstract Introduction Restoring native plant communities in arid ecosystems through seeding is a critical yet often unsuccessful strategy due to severe environmental stressors, including degraded soils, low and variable rainfall, and seed predation. Objectives To improve restoration outcomes, we examined the influence of seed mix types and soil surface

Abstract Introduction Singleleaf pinyon pine (Pinus monophylla) holds both ecological and cultural significance for Indigenous Tribes of the Great Basin, such as the Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California. Recent wildfires on Washoe Tribal lands have resulted in the loss of important pinyon pine groves, prompting collaborative efforts to develop post ...

Re‐Imagining Regulatory Governance
ABSTRACT This paper invites the readers to rethink regulatory governance by examining how trust‐based and rule‐based governance interact. To do this, it uses analytical narratives of three fictional polities: “Trustland”, “Regland”, and “Concordia”. Each polity represents a stylized model of governance: Trustland is anchored in trust‐based governance ...

Big Data in Cancer Genomics: Computational Foundations and Emerging Pathways for Precision Oncology
ABSTRACT This review aims to explore the computational foundations of big data in cancer genomics and examine emerging pathways that support precision oncology and personalized cancer care. A narrative review approach was adopted to synthesize evidence from PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and IEEE Xplore.

Consistency, not waste aversion, explains apparent sunk‐cost effects in politics
Abstract Do sunk costs shape how voters judge political leaders, or do reputational signals carried by current choices dominate? Across three preregistered experiments (total N = 1462) using vignettes about a national rail project, we orthogonally manipulated sunk costs (high vs. absent), leaders' decisions (continue vs. abandon), campaign commitments (

Through Time and Across Traits: Evaluating Explanations of Human Evolution
ABSTRACT We argue that current explanatory practice misses two situations that can arise in any lineage, not only ours. The first is dynamic: traits continue changing in one direction when a lineage's own niche construction keeps enlarging the problem it faces.

We applied two global biodiversity indices at a city scale and revealed significant declines in odonate and amphibian populations in freshwater systems over several decades. Our study demonstrates the effectiveness of both indices as a baseline for fulfil urban‐related biodiversity framework targets if suitable biodiversity time series are available ...

An Evaluation Framework for Post‐Trained Bookkeeping Language Models
ABSTRACT Supervised fine‐tuning (SFT) enables large language models (LLMs) to acquire domain‐specific knowledge, yet the resulting trade‐off between specialization and general capability preservation remains poorly understood. This paper investigates this trade‐off systematically by fine‐tuning three open‐source LLMs on double‐entry bookkeeping posting
