Pressure Pulses Generated by Wire‐Guided Discharges in Water

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The hydrodynamic characteristics of underwater wire‐guided discharges and their relationships with the wire length and pulsed circuit parameters are not fully understood. In this paper wire‐guided discharges using wires of length 3, 5 and 7 cm and diameter of 0.05 mm have been investigated. The energy available to the discharges was 162.3 J at

Trade‐offs between soil biodiversity and agricultural expansion: Evidence from litter decomposition dynamics in Madagascar

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Home‐Field Advantage (HFA) theory—positing that litter decomposes faster at its site of origin—allows us to disentangle the respective influences of litter quality, soil biota composition, and microclimate on shifts in litter decomposition following land use conversion.

Sensory Biology of the Franciscana (Pontoporia blainvillei, Pontoporiidae, Cetartiodactyla): Ontogenetic Modifications of Vibrissae and Vibrissal Crypts

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The transition of cetaceans from a terrestrial to an aquatic environment involved a crucial sensory adaptation to environments with limited visibility. Vibrissae, important mechanoreceptors, undergo an ontogenetic transformation in odontocetes. This research describes the histomorphology of vibrissae and crypts at different developmental stages ...

The Unintended Consequences of German Deterrence

open access: yesGlobal Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Germany's evolving deterrence posture boils down to continued participation in NATO nuclear sharing and an ambitious conventional rearmament program. Due to its non‐nuclear status and a result of decades of underinvestment, Germany prioritizes modern conventional weapons.

Minocycline and bone marrow–derived mononuclear cells as potential therapeutics for hereditary retinal degenerations

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To assess in Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) rats if the combination of two previously documented neuroprotective strategies: minocycline administration and bone marrow–derived mononuclear cells (BM‐MNCs) intravitreal transplantation, offers enhanced neuroprotection compared with each treatment alone.
