Beyond Biodiversity Exposure: How Firms Create Value Through SDG 15 Engagement

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biodiversity loss is no longer a distant ecological concern but an immediate economic reality and it is now a critical dimension of firm‐level risk. At the same time, global sustainability frameworks such as SDG 15: Life on Land call for urgent corporate action to protect and restore terrestrial ecosystems.

Electrochemical and Biological Evaluation of Patterned TiO2@TiC‐Nanowires for Bio‐Interface Electrode

Small, EarlyView.
This study introduces a room‐temperature process to fabricate patterned TiO2@TiC core–shell nanowires, merging the biocompatibility of TiO2‐NWs with the high conductivity of TiC. Through sputtering pressure and time modulation, the nanowires morphology and electrochemical properties are tuned, enabling enhanced capacitance, stability, and guided ...

The influence of secondary reinforcement on a strut‐and‐tie model for the design of reinforced concrete corbels

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract In precast concrete structures, optimizing the design of corbels by considering the contributions of secondary reinforcement elements can significantly improve construction economy, especially when corbels are repeated multiple times. This paper proposes a strut‐and‐tie model for reinforced concrete corbels subjected to vertical and/or ...

Basal body temperature as a biomarker of reproductive state in ewes: A multi‐method comparison

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
This study quantified body temperature dynamics throughout reproductive stages in crossbred ewes based on complementary monitoring techniques. Five ewes from a semi‐extensive farming system were included in two sub‐trials: animals were first assessed in the prepubertal stage and, subsequently, an oestrous cycle was induced by intravaginal progesterone ...

Grassland forage legumes and drought mitigation – sheep wool application improved soil water availability and enhanced drought–stress responses

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 13, Page 8073-8084, October 2026.
Abstract Background Sheep wool may reduce drought stress in grasslands when used as a soil amendment. Two experiments were conducted to explore if: (i) water absorbed by wool would be biologically ‘active’ and therefore available to plants, using a novel method of measuring water activity (a w); and, (ii) adding wool to compost would delay water stress

Synergistic association of insomnia and anxiety with cognitive impairment and dementia in older adults

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract INTRODUCTION We investigated the synergistic effects of comorbid insomnia and anxiety on cognitive impairment and dementia and explored the underlying plasma biomarker mechanisms. METHODS We included adults ≥ 60 years from the cross‐sectional cohort named The Shanghai Action to Prevent Dementia in the Elderly (SHAPE) and used data from the ...

Alignment of Micrometer‐Scale Electrospun Fibers Does Not Enhance Performance of Primary Human Renal Proximal Tubular Epithelial Cells

Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part B: Applied Biomaterials, Volume 114, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Renal failure remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, as current renal replacement therapies restore filtration but fail to replicate the kidney's transport, metabolic, and endocrine functions. Bioengineered systems using primary renal epithelial cells show promise in recapitulating these processes, and integration into synthetic ...
