Rivers as Natural Capital Assets: A Quick Scoping Review to Assess the Evidence Linking River Asset Condition to Changes in the Flow of Ecosystem Services

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT River managers are beginning to adopt natural capital approaches in practice. However, while it is crucial for river management, the link between river asset condition and the flow of ecosystem services is poorly understood. In this study, we conducted a Quick Scoping Review (QSR) of the research into river asset condition and ecosystem ...

Stabilized Extracellular Vesicle Formulations for Inhalable Dry Powder Development

Small, EarlyView.
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) hold promise for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) treatment but face challenges with storage and delivery. This study demonstrates the stabilization of lung fibroblast‐derived EVs using inulin, enabling freeze‐drying and spray‐drying.

Frog‐Derived Neuroregenerative‐Peptide‐Reinforced Bioactive Hydrogels with Injectability, Thermosensitivity, and Enhanced Neurotrophic Function for Repairing Central Nervous Injuries

Small Structures, EarlyView.
Herein, the reinforcement of bioactive hydrogels with frog‐derived neuroregenerative peptide (FRNP) is presented to create multifunctional materials with injectability, thermosensitivity, and neurorepair capabilities. The formation of a porous, dual‐network hydrogel structure, combined with the action of FRNP, promotes the proliferation, migration, and

Achieving conservation through cattle ranching: The case of the Brazilian Pantanal

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView., 2023
Cattle ranching in the Pantanal should be part of the conservation agenda and we show the pathways to it. Abstract Cattle ranching in the ~140,000 km2 Brazilian Pantanal is considered one of the most important cases of sustainable use of natural resources in the global south. The region has had a successful history of balancing environmental protection

Hierarchical Planning Applied to the Preliminary Design of CubeSats: Nanospace Study

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT CubeSat design has been already studied and formalized but knowledge representation remains a challenge. The management of human‐learnt knowledge during the process is not an aspect that is often spoken about. This paper discusses the proposal of integrating a hierarchical planning approach with a model‐based one to the open‐source Nanospace ...

Lessons learned and lingering uncertainties after seven years of chronic wasting disease management in Norway

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is well known among cervids in North America. Nevertheless, management faced different types and degrees of uncertainty when CWD was first detected in reindeer Rangifer tarandus in Nordfjella, Norway in 2016. We present a timeline of the efforts to control CWD, and identify how the process, measurement, environmental, and ...

Spraying drones: efficacy of integrating an avian repellent with drone hazing to elicit blackbird flock dispersal and abandonment of sunflower fields

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Multiple management strategies exist to combat bird damage to agriculture. We explored combining two tools, drones as frightening devices and an avian repellent, to assess effectiveness of an integrated method to deter large flocks on complex landscapes. We evaluated the ability of a spraying drone (DJI Agras MG‐1P) deploying Avian Control (i.e. active
