Facilitation influences when trees grow, but not growth rate in a dry temperate forest

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Accurately predicting the role of forests in the global carbon cycle requires a detailed understanding of the factors mediating the timing and magnitude of radial stem growth. While weather conditions and topo‐edaphic factors play a critical role in mediating short‐term

Native habitat affinities predict fish invasions with post‐invasion habitat shifts

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Initial invasion success is gated by native pre‐adaptations, but post‐invasion establishment is characterized by habitat shifts. We demonstrate that forecasting risk based solely on native niches severely underestimates future ecological impacts, and we provide an empirically validated watchlist of future invaders.

Soil Parameter Inversion in Dredger Fill Strata Using GWO-MLSSVR for Deep Foundation Pit Engineering

Buildings
Accurate determination of constitutive model parameters is crucial for reliable numerical simulation in deep foundation pit engineering. This study presents an inverse analysis method using Multioutput Least-Squares Support Vector Regression (MLSSVR ...

Making Mining Licit: Gold, Commodification, and the Everyday Performance of Law in Colombia

American Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ethnographies of resource‐making have shown that the extraction of resource value from objects is premised on obviating the emplaced lifeworlds that surrounded objects before they traveled to consumer markets. Much of this literature looks at such supply‐chain disentanglement from the viewpoint of corporate and formal regulatory practices ...

The specifics of non‐routine task changes: A granular approach

Contemporary Economic Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper estimates granular specific non‐routine tasks and examines employment reallocation across those tasks in the United States. Employment shifts into decision‐making, technology, and information‐related tasks account for 90% of high‐wage employment growth.

Consolidation Simulation of Highly Viscous Dredger Fill in Different Vacuum Preloading Process [PDF]

Proceedings of the 2015 6th International Conference on Manufacturing Science and Engineering, 2015
A numerical simulation model based on the particle size composition of High Viscous Dredger Fill (HVDF) was established. Consolidation process of HVDF was in the action of Direct Drainage Vacuum Preloading (DDVP) and was in the Graded Vacuum Preloading (GVP), which was described the drainage consolidation characteristics of HVDF subject to the two ...

Study on the effect and mechanism of hot-air-boosted vacuum preloading solidification of dredged silt via model tests

Applied Ocean Research
The traditional vacuum preloading method (TVP) is improved, and a “hot-air-boosted vacuum preloading (HAVP) method”, which combines vacuum preloading with hot gas injection into soil for heating, is proposed. The thermal‒mechanical coupling consolidation

Threatened cockatoo adapts foraging strategy to survive habitat loss from fire

Ibis, EarlyView.
Fire regimes are changing across the globe as a result of human‐induced climate change. For granivorous bird species, changes in fire regimes can affect seed availability and the persistence of populations. We investigated the foraging behaviour of Glossy Black Cockatoos Calyptorhynchus lathami halmaturinus, a resource specialist, following large‐scale

Target Trial Emulation in Observational Research—Strengths, Limitations, and Methodological Considerations

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
The target trial framework is a pragmatic roadmap for observational causal inference that clarifies questions, mitigates time‐related bias, and improves interpretability while acknowledging limits. With transparent protocols, appropriate methods, and suitable data, it can complement randomized trials and inform practice and policy.

That sinkin’ feeling: Environmentally induced distress on a disappearing island

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Residents of Tangier Island, Virginia, a subsiding island in the Chesapeake Bay, embody psychosocial dimensions of environmental change. Analysis of ethnographic data shows islanders’ experiences and articulations of anxiety, panic, and despair as “that sinkin’ feeling,” resulting from the stress of living with the long‐term threat of imminent
