Using Harvest Data to Assess Factors Influencing Regional Population Declines of Muskrats (Ondatra zibethicus) 利用捕获数据评估影响麝鼠 (Ondatra zibethicus) 区域种群数量下降的相关因素

open access: yesWildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Reported annual per‐capita harvest of muskrats (PCHM) decreased as wetland complexity (total number of wetland patches) decreased in 13 state and federal wetland areas in the Midwest, USA. Our results support the hypothesis that regional‐scale declines in the abundance of muskrats are likely associated with the losses to wetland habitats throughout the

Engineering Apprenticeships: Youth Transitions, Industrial Capital and the Role of Working‐Class Households

open access: yesThe British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using biographical methods, the study explores the lives of 34 young people undertaking engineering apprenticeships in Teesside, Northeast England. It examines why working‐class youth in a deindustrialised region might be attracted to engineering, how they might secure apprenticeship, and the invaluable role households play in orchestrating ...

Consumers' Willingness to Pay for Solar Fuel Adoption in Quebec, Canada: Evidence From a Discrete Choice Experiment

open access: yesThe American Journal of Economics and Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates consumer preferences for renewable fuels in Quebec, with a particular focus on a solar fuel produced through artificial photosynthesis. Using a discrete choice experiment (DCE) and both conditional logit (CL) and random parameters logit (RPL) models, we estimate marginal willingness to pay (MWTP) for key fuel attributes,

Economic Valuation of Renewable Transport Fuels: Evidence From Solar Fuel Willingness to Pay in Quebec, Canada

open access: yesThe American Journal of Economics and Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transport sector is one of the largest contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions, making it a key priority for climate mitigation policies. In this context, renewable fuels represent a promising complementary pathway to transport electrification, particularly due to their compatibility with existing internal combustion engine ...

Optimal Hedging Strategies in the Low‐Sulphur Bunker Fuel Landscape

open access: yesEuropean Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The IMO2020 regulation for the green transition in shipping turned the industry into using two compliant bunker fuels: very low‐sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) and low‐sulphur marine gas oil (LSMGO). VLSFO futures contracts introduced in late 2019 and other energy‐related futures contracts indicate that the VLSFO contracts trading on the Singapore ...

Anaerobic Attenuation of Diisopropyl Ether (DIPE) in Groundwater: Kinetics and Implications for Monitored Natural Attenuation

open access: yesGroundwater Monitoring &Remediation, EarlyView.
Abstract Diisopropyl ether (DIPE) is a branched ether used as a solvent, extractant, and gasoline additive. While aerobic biodegradation of DIPE has been documented, attenuation under anaerobic conditions (typical of groundwater impacted by petroleum hydrocarbons and fuel oxygenates) remains poorly constrained.
