From Need to Deed: A Concrete Construal Account of Need‐Based Object Valuation
Journal of Consumer Behaviour, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Need‐based object valuation is when consumers place greater valuations on objects that fulfill their needs. Despite its pervasiveness as a consumer behavior phenomenon, the psychological drivers behind it are not fully understood. This research examines concrete construal level as one mechanism of need‐based object valuation.

Modeling proppant transport and settling in a 3D propagating fracture
Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.A versatile multiphysics tool is presented for simulating the complex processes involved in hydraulic fracturing treatments. The model couples fracture opening and propagation, variable‐density slurry flow, and proppant particle transport within the multiphysics object‐oriented simulation environment framework, based on two‐phase mixture equations and ...

Reduced size of larvae and small fish linked to warming and reduced prey density
Ecography, EarlyView.Body size is an integrative trait that has declined across many ecological assemblages in the last decades. Changes in body size of early life stages and small‐bodied fish are driven by complex interactions between size‐dependent mortality, and temperature‐ and food‐dependent growth, and can have consequences for recruitment to the adult stock and food

Everyone Knows It's a Hoax: The Role of Perceived Descriptive Norms in Conspiracy Beliefs
European Journal of Social Psychology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT People's belief in conspiracy theories is shaped by social influence processes. This contribution investigated these processes in six studies (total N = 2906) by examining the role of descriptive norms, that is, the perception that others endorse conspiracy theories.

Genetic variants of EcPV2 E6 and E7 in equine genital and oronasal squamous cell carcinoma
Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Background Since its discovery in 2008, equine papillomavirus type 2 (EcPV2) has been detected in up to 100% of equine genital and up to 40% of equine oronasal squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs). Preliminary sequence data point to the existence of EcPV2 E6 and E7 oncogene variants compared to the British reference sequence from 2008.
