Abstract Debris flows over riverbeds generate intense basal force fluctuations that radiate seismic signals, offering a key tool for remotely monitoring their dynamics. In steep, highly erosive mountainous channels, bedrock is often covered by a thin layer of loose sediments, which significantly reduce seismic energy.

ABSTRACT Structured lipids (SLs) have attracted growing industrial interest due to their associated health benefits. Lipases, as highly selective and versatile biocatalysts, are central to the sustainable synthesis of SLs attributed to their ability to operate under mild reaction conditions. However, the limited operational stability of lipases remains

Can a lizard ride on a housefly?: Navigating uncertainty and moral life in an Accra Zongo, Ghana
Abstract How can uncertainty become a resource for ethical life rather than a threat to it? Focusing on a Zongo community in Accra, Ghana—also known as a “traveler's camp” or “stranger's quarters”—this article examines how people use a creative form of communication called the practice of folding to sustain relationships shaped by conditions of ...

ABSTRACT The current diversity and distribution of species and populations have been shaped by the major climatic oscillations during the Quaternary. The brown trout (Salmo trutta) is a striking example of the strong effect of past climate changes on the evolutionary history of species, in fact, the alternation of glacial/interglacial cycles has led to

Wage Differentials, Firm Investment, and Stock Returns
ABSTRACT This study investigates the effects of labor costs on firms' capital investments and stock returns. I estimate wage premia across US industries and show that the negative investment‐return relation implied by q$$ q $$‐theory is steeper for firms paying high wage premia than for firms paying low wage premia.
