Understanding contingency in wolf‐mediated livestock predation across a mosaic of land uses: An agent‐based modelling approach

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The return of grey wolves to multi‐use landscapes in North America and Europe raises concerns over accompanying risks of livestock predation. While local‐level risk factors have received attention, it is difficult to explore the role that landscape‐scale variables, such as landscape connectivity, play in driving livestock losses.

Modeling Fiber Dispersion in a Single‐Screw Extruder for Long Fiber‐Reinforced Thermoplastics

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Fiber dispersion throughout the screw channel ABSTRACT Understanding the mechanics of fiber attrition during the plasticizing process is important in predicting the strength of long fiber‐reinforced thermoplastics (LFT) composites. Fiber dispersion has been found to impact fiber damage during processing and therefore final fiber length in the final ...
