MIRACLE URBANIZATION: Spatial Production and Political Legitimation in the Sochi 2014 and Beijing 2022 Olympics

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract From desert ski resorts to subtropical Winter Games, there is a global proliferation of ‘mission‐impossible’ mega‐projects. The prevailing frameworks of city branding and urban entrepreneurism fail to explain the political logics behind these seemingly irrational projects.

The Multiwavelength Extinction Law and Its Variation in the Coalsack Molecular Cloud Based on the Gaia, APASS, SMSS, 2MASS, GLIMPSE, and WISE Surveys

The Astrophysical Journal
Accurate interpretation of observations relies on the interstellar dust extinction law, which also serves as a powerful diagnostic for probing dust properties.

COSMOLOGICAL MARKINGS AND ERASURES: The Political Theology of State‐Led Gentrification and Heritagization

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This article investigates the symbolic politics of state‐led gentrification and heritagization, focusing on how these processes serve to ‘glorify’ state power. Drawing on Agamben's political theology, Bourdieu's notion of symbolic power and space, and political heritage studies, we argue that the symbolic politics of state glorification can ...

Dual-wavelength Raman lidar observations of the extinction-to-backscatter ratio of Saharan dust

, 2002
[1] For the first time, height profiles of the extinction-to-backscatter ratio (lidar ratio) of desert dust particles were simultaneously measured at 355 and 532 nm.

Mitigating Human–Large Carnivore Conflicts via Time‐Regulated Management of Free‐Ranging Livestock in the Sanjiangyuan Region, China

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract illustrates the comprehensive workflow of our study, from the deployment of infrared cameras at sites with high activity of four large carnivores, through data collection and assessment of activity patterns, to the prediction of time periods with potential human–large carnivore conflicts and the proposal of corresponding ...

Morphotype Bias, Morph Specific Recruitment and No Elevation‐Life History Relation in High Altitude Mesquite Lizard Populations

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Site‐level differences in population growth (λ) and phenotype frequencies. Mountain silhouettes represent the three study sites. Morph relative abundances are shown in the colored vertical bar. Point estimates and confidence intervals of λ for each site are displayed below, with the dashed line marking the threshold for demographic stability (λ = 1 ...

Investigating relationships among strontium, barium, and seasonality in wild baboons

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Geochemical profiles of Australopithecus africanus and baboon teeth show fluctuating trace elements, possibly reflecting seasonal diets. Here we use laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometric measurements of calcium‐normalized strontium and barium ratios (Sr/Ca and Ba/Ca) and ion microprobe analyses of oxygen isotopes (δ18O ...

Out in the cold? A review of Early Middle Palaeolithic settlements in northern Central Europe, age data and geological preconditions for site formation and preservation

Boreas, EarlyView.
The characteristics of settlement of Neanderthals in northern Central Europe during the earlier phases of the Middle Palaeolithic (Marine Isotope Stage 8–6) have been a matter of debate for decades, specifically regarding the population dynamics at such latitudes during the coldest phases. In this paper, we review the known archaeological record of the

Ecological variability of Hippopotamus antiquus from the late Early–Middle Pleistocene of Megalopolis Basin (Greece): Evidence for dynamic habitats in a glacial microrefugium

Boreas, EarlyView.
This study investigates the ecology of the extinct European Hippopotamus from the late Early–Middle Pleistocene (c. 900–400 ka) sequence of the Megalopolis Basin, a glacial microrefugium for temperate taxa in southern Greece. Using stable carbon (δ13C) and oxygen (δ18O) isotope analyses and microwear analyses of Hippopotamus dental elements, we ...
