The Heat Is On: Climate Change–Related Challenges and SMEs' R&D Activities

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Investing in R&D is a key way for small‐ and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) to develop capabilities that are required to respond to climate change–related challenges. However, the extent to which such challenges affect SMEs' R&D activities remains a critical gap in the literature.

Fracture evolution of a thick soft protection layer and the water inrush mechanism in overburden under longwall mining

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Through shear–tensile creep tests and viscoelastic modeling, the fracture evolution of thick soft protective layers is clarified. Results show thickness‐dependent rheological failure modes that govern four types of roof water inrush, providing a mechanism‐based framework for hazard prediction and control. Abstract In the Jurassic coal‐bearing strata of

Global analysis suggests nitrogen deposition as an underestimated driver of vegetation greening

Ecography, EarlyView.
The local effects of atmospheric nitrogen deposition on plants are well established, yet a global empirical analysis of nitrogen deposition effects on vegetation dynamics is missing. Here, we assess how nitrogen deposition, alongside other global change drivers such as fire, and changes in temperature, precipitation and human land use, is related to ...

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1059-1080, April 2025.
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

Replacement of Ores Recorded by Textures and Chemical Compositions of Sphalerite: An Example From the Furutobe Kuroko Deposit, Akita, Japan

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
Coupled dissolution‐reprecipitation of early formed Cd‐, Fe‐, Ag‐ and Sb‐poor sphalerite through interaction with high‐temperature and high‐sulphur fugacity Cu‐rich fluids, responsible for the formation of the yellow ores, resulted in the formation of Cd‐, Fe‐, Ag‐ and Sb‐rich, heavily chalcopyrite‐diseased sphalerite and enrichment of critical metals ...
