Making Learning Personally Relevant: Sensemaking Assets Used in Families' Discussions While Using a Pollinator‐Focused Mobile Augmented Reality App

open access: yesScience Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study seeks to better understand the unique sensemaking assets that rural families weave into their outdoor learning experience while using a location‐based mobile app focused on healthy habitats for solitary bees. The project included mobile augmented reality (AR) technologies, which are increasingly used as educational tools at informal

Micropatterned Surfaces with Unidirectional Wetting Properties for Liquid Transport

open access: yesSmall Structures, EarlyView.
Micropatterned surfaces that guide droplets in a single direction are gaining attention for their role in liquid transport. This review explores how surface designs enable such behavior, from gravity‐driven flow to stimulus‐responsive movement. It also discusses fabrication techniques, design challenges, and emerging strategies to advance directional ...

Shear wall plan layout optimization considering seismic loads

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Seismic force resistant structural design requires experience and time. Shear wall elements are generally used in concrete structures due to their high stiffness against horizontal forces. The aim of this study is to obtain optimum structural wall disposition by using building information modeling (BIM) technologies.

A Rangeland Grasshopper Insurance Program

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 1995
The incidence of benefits and costs from controlling rangeland grasshoppers on public grazing lands poses problems of economic efficiency and distributional equity. Public grasshopper control programs operate like public disaster assistance.

Tracking the evolution of sex chromosome systems in Melanoplinae grasshoppers through chromosomal mapping of repetitive DNA sequences

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2013
BackgroundThe accumulation of repetitive DNA during sex chromosome differentiation is a common feature of many eukaryotes and becomes more evident after recombination has been restricted or abolished.

Rethinking Face‐to‐Face Interaction: Lessons from Studies of “Autistic Sociality”

open access: yesSymbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
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 ...

Assessing habitat suitability for black grouse broods at the bioregional scale

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The black grouse Lyrurus tetrix, a galliform species emblematic of the European Alps, is currently threatened by habitat change, particularly given the closure of heathland linked to the rising tree line at higher altitudes. The presence of heathlands in good ecological condition is, however, imperative for the species' reproduction.
