Addressing Water Scarcity in Agriculture: A Bibliometric Analysis of Hydrogel‐Based Strategies for Drought Resilience and Sustainable Water Management

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drought poses a significant threat to agricultural systems worldwide, exacerbating challenges to food security and sustainability. Hydrogels, superabsorbent polymers that can retain substantial amounts of water, have emerged as a promising solution to mitigate the adverse effects of drought. In this integrated bibliometric and narrative review,

Temporal grammars of novelty: How carbon removal entrepreneurs frame new technologies

Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary This paper assesses the ways in which carbon dioxide removal ventures frame their work. Drawing on George Herbert Mead's philosophy of the present, it conceptualizes temporal grammars of novelty as a framing strategy that involves connecting two points in time, namely present and future, to elaborate novelty.

Concrete in architecture: Redefining form, space, function, and insights from bibliometric analysis

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Concrete has become a cornerstone in architectural and engineering innovation, as it seamlessly integrates structural performance with artistic expression. Its evolution from ancient opus caementicium to contemporary ultra‐high‐performance concrete illustrates its adaptability to the change in technological, environmental, and design paradigms.

Influence of natural fibers on physical, mechanical, and fire‐resistant properties of microconcrete

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examined the influence of natural fibers on the physical, mechanical, and fire‐resistant properties of microconcrete, in comparison with conventional polypropylene fibers used in cement composites. The fibers were characterized by FTIR and TGA/DSC to assess their composition and thermal stability, and FTIR was also performed after ...

Cold‐curing effects on the strength development and sulfuric acid resistance of basalt fiber‐reinforced hybrid alkali‐activated slag mortars

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Cold weather conditions impose substantial constraints upon the performance and long‐term resilience of concrete materials. Alkali‐activated slag (AAS) presents itself as a promising substitute, exhibiting sustained hydraulic activity even when exposed to ambient conditions characterized by low temperatures.

Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.

Climate‐Modulated Particle Toxicity: Acute Exposure to an Environmentally Informed Microplastic Mixture Induces Sex‐Dependent Systemic Reorganization in Swiss Mice

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microplastic (MP) pollution is widely recognized as an emerging environmental threat. Yet, most studies still rely on controlled experimental conditions that poorly reflect environmental complexity, potentially underestimating risks under realistic scenarios, particularly during short‐term exposures. Here, we tested whether acute oral exposure

Assessment of Metal Contamination and Human Health Risk in the Buffalo River Estuary, Eastern Cape, South Africa

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Metal contamination in estuarine environments poses environmental and public health concerns, particularly where surface waters support domestic and subsistence uses. This study assessed the seasonal distribution, controlling mechanisms, and non‐carcinogenic health risks of selected metals (Mg, Al, Ba, Fe, Mn, and Zn) in the Buffalo River ...

Sensitivities of sage‐grouse to weather and climate: Implications for indicator species in a moisture‐limited ecosystem Sensibilidades del gallo de las artemisas al clima y las condiciones meteorológicas: implicaciones para una especie indicadora de ecosistemas limitados por la humedad

Wildlife Monographs, EarlyView.
Abstract Sage‐grouse (Centrocercus spp.) are considered an indicator species for sagebrush ecosystems but are declining range‐wide, resulting from a suite of anthropogenic threats that are reducing habitat availability and quality throughout the sagebrush biome.

From landscapes to lesions: Pathology's role in wildlife mortality investigations and conservation health

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Wildlife mortality investigations are important toward understanding health threats to wildlife and management considerations. The who, what, why and how are critical pieces of these investigations. Wildlife pathologists play a central role in this process in elucidating causes and contributors to mortality. Abstract To effectively recognize and manage
