Rethinking Face‐to‐Face Interaction: Lessons from Studies of “Autistic Sociality”
Face‐to‐face interaction is a foundational concept in microsociology. This article surveys the social experiences of autistic people, who are commonly known for having a strained relationship with interactions face to face. By interpretively reviewing and synthesizing the broader literature on “autistic sociality,” the article provides a nuanced ...

ABSTRACT As top predators, terrestrial carnivores face great risk of pesticide exposure and serve as sentinels of environmental contamination. Additionally, terrestrial carnivores are frequently threatened by intentional or secondary poisoning with highly toxic compounds, such as carbamates and organophosphates.

DNA metabarcoding reveals wolf dietary patterns in the northern Alps and Jura Mountains
Understanding predator–prey interactions is crucial for wildlife management and human–wildlife coexistence, particularly in multi‐use landscapes such as western Europe. As wolves Canis lupus recolonize their former habitats, knowledge of their diet is essential for conservation, management and public acceptance.

Illegal trade of wild meat pose a severe threat to the survival of wildlife populations. The decline in the number of some species has been directly linked to these illegal activities. Poachers and traders of illegal wild meat products often mask them as livestock meat to sell to consumers who may or may not be complicit.

ABSTRACT Portable X‐ray computed tomography (portable CT) has become an important tool for the non‐destructive investigation of cultural heritage objects, particularly when in situ analysis is required. This work presents the experimental characterization and application of a transportable cone‐beam CT system designed for the inspection of large and ...

A Low‐Power Radioisotope XRF Spectrometer for Detection of Light Elements on Planetary Missions
ABSTRACT Current X‐ray spectrometers for in situ geochemical analysis on planetary missions typically rely either on X‐ray tubes, which demand electrical power and add mass and thermal complexity, or on alpha particle X‐ray spectrometers (APXS) that use rare 244Cm$$ {}^{244}\mathrm{Cm} $$ sources, and come with severe concerns on radiation safety and ...
