Evaluating the Predictive Value of Estimated Breeding Values of Piétrain Sires for Uniformity and Survival in Their Crossbred Progeny

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT High litter sizes in pigs are associated with lower birth weights and increased within‐litter variation, which poses challenges to pig farming. Improving piglet uniformity and survival via genetic selection of terminal boars could be a strategy to enhance these traits.

Simulation of Hydraulic Fracture Failure in Concrete Gravity Dams Under Different Loads

Renmin Zhujiang
This study investigated the problem of hydraulic fracture propagation in concrete gravity dams. A fracture mechanics model for concrete was constructed, and cohesive force units were used to simulate the propagation of fractures.

Between Dispossession and Inclusion: Land Injustice and Project‐Based Citizenship in the Bagré Irrigation Scheme (Burkina Faso)

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Large‐scale irrigation schemes are central to agrarian transformation in sub‐Saharan Africa, yet their political implications are often reduced to questions of land redistribution or agrarian differentiation. Although existing scholarship has documented how irrigation restructures agrarian relations and generates dispossession, less attention ...

Oral Health, Periodontitis, and Respiratory Diseases: Biological Pathways

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This narrative review aims to provide a comprehensive update on the potential mechanisms by which poor oral health and periodontitis impact lung health, focusing on pneumonia, COPD, and asthma. ABSTRACT Poor oral hygiene and periodontitis influence lung diseases such as pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), COVID‐19, and asthma.

Pursuing patents for their own sake: How the investment discourse shapes patent quality and quantity

The Journal of World Intellectual Property, EarlyView.
Abstract Patent systems worldwide face criticisms over declining patent quality and increasing patent quantity. While most research focuses on strengthening examination rigour, this article turns attention to relatively underexplored patenting incentives.

Dam Management in the Era of Climate Change

Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change has a dramatic impact, particularly by concentrating rainfall into a few short periods, interspersed with long dry spells. In this context, the role of dams is crucial. We consider the optimal control of a dam, where the water level must neither exceed a designated safety threshold nor fall below a minimum level to ensure ...

Bolide Light Curve Systematics from 75 Recovered Meteorites

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract How does the energy deposition profile (light curve), deceleration, and penetration depth in Earth's atmosphere depend on asteroid composition and meteorite type? Here, we present the light curve and velocity profile of 75 bolides from camera‐documented meteorite falls.

Geophysical update of the diameter of the Zhamanshin impact structure, Kazakhstan

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The rim of the 0.9‐Ma‐old Zhamanshin impact crater in Kazakhstan is considered to be almost completely exposed via a series of hills surrounding a central flat area, indicating an apparent diameter of 14 km. This would make Zhamanshin the second largest impact crater of the Quaternary period. However, the overall geometry of these hills is not
