ABSTRACT Meeting the needs of young people affected by sexual exploitation, alongside other forms of extra‐familial harm, remains a challenge for social workers, youth workers and other professionals responsible for their safety and well‐being. This paper proposes that to more effectively create safety with/for young people, we must re‐examine how we ...

Frost susceptibility of Nordic metal mine tailings [PDF]
The mining industry produces significant amounts of waste materials, with the greatest volumes generated during enrichment. These waste materials or by-products, tailings, may be used as alternative civil engineering materials, reducing the need for ...

Mathematical model of the zebrafish ventricular cardiomyocyte action potential and calcium transient
Abstract figure legend This study presents the development and validation of the first biophysically detailed computational model of the zebrafish ventricular action potential (AP). The model is based on a human cardiomyocyte framework and reparameterized using published and newly generated patch‐clamp recordings of zebrafish ionic currents.

Warming summers limit reindeer grazing, weakening herbivory pressure in the mountain tundra
Climate change is predicted to alter species interactions by exposing ecosystems to increasingly frequent and intense warm spells. In the mountain tundra, grazing by large herbivores, particularly reindeer, can limit shrub expansion and preserve Arctic plant diversity.

Frost heave model calculations for the Calgary frost heave test facility
Frost heave calculations using the Segregation Potential (SP) model and the Incremental Ice Segregation (DISR) model are compared ta the observed frost heave data from chilled pipeline sections at the Calgary Frost Heave Test Facility. Madel calculations are performed with the measured temperature gradients and measured frost depths for a range of SP ...

Effect of fines content on frost heave
In regions of seasonal frost the integrity of pavement structures is dependent on the resistance of base and subbase soils to frost action. This note describes the results of performing the U.S.

Vegetation on the move: elevational shifts and greening dynamics across the Himalayan alpine zone
This study investigates alpine ‘vegetation line' (the upper limit of continuous plant community) dynamics in the Himalayan alpine zone (HAZ) over a 24‐year timescale (1999–2022) using maximum NDVI products derived from Landsat series datasets, adjusted for sampling bias using phenological modelling.

Connections Between Surface and Subsurface Temperature Anomalies
Abstract Temperature anomalies, such as marine heatwaves and cold spells, are often studied as sea‐surface phenomena. Substantial temperature anomalies are also present in the subsurface, but subsurface temperature data are sparser. Here we use 1° × 1° × 7 day resolution ocean temperature maps from 1993 to 2023 to explore the dominant relation of ...
