Developmental Plasticity and Behavioural Evolution in Rodents: Insights From African Striped Mice (Rhabdomys)

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Our review synthesizes how early‐life experiences shape behavioural development in rodents, drawing on developmental plasticity, non‐genetic inheritance and epigenetic mechanisms. Using African striped mice (Rhabdomys) and other small mammal systems as case studies, it presents an integrative framework linking parental care, developmental pathways and ...

Soret and Dufour Effects on the Flow of Spilled Oil in the Soil

open access: yesInternational Journal of Recent Technology and Engineering, 2019
Study about the movement of oil flow describing the transport of hydrocarbons dissolved in the water on soil are considered including the effects of viscous and Darcy dissipation, energy flux caused by both temperature gradient and concentration gradient on the unsteady convective heat and mass transfer in the subsurface. The resulting fluid flow, heat

How Awareness of Orthographic Transparency Benefits the Lexical Encoding of Second Language Vowels

open access: yesLanguage Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract We investigated the influence of orthographic transparency, and learners’ awareness of it, on the second language (L2) phonolexical encoding of Brazilian Portuguese (BP) mid‐vowel contrasts. In BP, accent marks indicate vowel quality (mid‐closed vs.

Many philosophers treat Minimalism as a wild outlier, assuming its falsity without argument.

Unions as Digital Trailblazers: How Digitalizing Voting Practices (Re)shape Membership and Participation

open access: yesNew Technology, Work and Employment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Unions are increasingly adopting digital tools, yet research often portrays them as lagging in the digital age. This article challenges that view by examining union agency in the digitalisation of voting. Drawing on qualitative interviews with union officials, digital consultants collaborating on developing digital union voting and 12 years of

The Heterogeneous Regional Employment Effects of Environmental Policies

open access: yesOxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the effects of Environmental Policies—measured by the OECD Environmental Policy Stringency Index (EPS)—on employment in 349 regions across 26 countries from 1990 to 2020. We find that more stringent EPS have short‐term negative effects on regional employment, which disappear in the medium term.

Porphyromonas gingivalis GroEL accelerates abdominal aortic aneurysm formation by matrix metalloproteinase‐2 SUMOylation in vascular smooth muscle cells: A novel finding for the activation of MMP‐2

open access: yesMolecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Infection is a known cause of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and matrix metalloproteases‐2 (MMP‐2) secreted by vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) plays a key role in the structural disruption of the middle layer of the arteries during AAA progression.

New trajectories in the production of environmental knowledge about river restoration: contrasting scientific practices in Rhône River research

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Restoration ecology relies on interactions between scientists and managers, yet these interactions are shaped by broader academic, social, and political contexts that influence how scientific knowledge is produced and mobilized. Objective This article aims to examine how scientific knowledge is produced within a long‐term river ...
