Collateral labor: Male partner reentry and women's economic lives

Criminology, EarlyView.
Abstract Reentry scholarship frequently assumes that a partner's return stabilizes households and eases the burdens women absorbed during incarceration, yet the economic consequences of reentry for female partners remain empirically understudied. We conceptualize reentry as an economic reconfiguration that may operate as reprieve, disruption, or both ...

Transcriptomics Unveil Dsx1 as a Critical Regulator in Sexual Dimorphism of Crustaceans

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Sexually dimorphic traits are involved in reproductive competition and are shaped by sex‐biased gene expression. This study identifies Dsx1 as a key male‐biased gene in Morinoia aosen and demonstrates through RNA interference that its disruption feminizes male‐specific T3 leg structures.

The First Quantitative Evidence of Ontogenetic Growth in the Early Cambrian Ecdysozoan Worm Cricocosmia jinningensis Reveals the Earliest Energy Reallocation

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We report the first ontogenetic information for the compression‐preserved Cambrian ecdysozoan worm Cricocosmia jinningensis. Its mosaic growth strategy unifies panarthropod and priapulid developmental patterns. Sclerite allometry reverses at the juvenile‐to‐adult transition, providing the earliest evidence of developmental resource allocation ...

Fenestration Through the Ages and Its Role in Today’s Energy Dilemma [PDF]

مسکن و محیط روستا, 2015
The history of window as a “wind-eye” is as old as the history of architecture. But the history of glass as window glazing is relatively new. For centuries windows were covered with materials other than glass. In china and Japan oiled paper made of rice,
