Diet, Fruit and Vegetable Intake, and Nutritional Status in Fiji: A Scoping Review

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Increasing fruit and vegetable (F&V) intake is essential for transitioning toward healthier, more sustainable diets. To design effective intervention programmes to promote F&V intake, it is crucial to understand intake levels and dietary patterns across different demographic groups as well as populations' nutritional status.

Information disclosure and questionnaires in public tenders

The Scandinavian Journal of Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Public tenders typically involve uncertainty and unforeseen costs, which might not be fully known to the bidders themselves. This uncertainty may also concern adaptation costs to the procurer after the delivery, and information about such adaptation costs may influence the bidding strategies, even though the cost is paid by the procurer ...

Simulation and Experimental Study on Cuttings-Carrying for Reverse Circulation Horizontal Directional Drilling with Dual Drill Pipes

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2019
In the past decades, horizontal directional drilling (HDD) has been successfully used to install various pipelines in different strata. However, construction accidents such as drill-burying and drill-sticking occur occasionally when pipelines installed ...

Climate Shocks and Unemployment Claims

Scottish Journal of Political Economy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using a US state–level climate risk measure and the panel local projections framework, this study analyzes both linear and asymmetric effects of climate shocks on unemployment claims. The results provide strong evidence that climate shocks significantly increase both initial and continuing claims, with the linear estimates showing a stronger ...

Simulating Agroecology Policy Options for the Resilience of Smallholder Food Security to Climate Shocks

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 2, December 2026.
Climate shocks and the agroecology–resilience nexus of smallholders. Summary of key findings: Agroecology increases smallholder resilience capacity by 8.7% in the short term under a decreased rainfall scenario, a projected 11% decline in precipitation reduces resilience by 5.6% and 14.2% in the short and long terms, respectively, and a policy‐induced ...

Observations on the Burrow Structures and Larval Behavior of Ephoron shigae (Takahashi, 1924) (Ephemeroptera: Polymitarcyidae) in River Sediments

International Review of Hydrobiology, Volume 111, Issue 2, December 2026.
ABSTRACT The larvae of the mayfly Ephoron shigae (Takahashi, 1924) (Ephemeroptera: Polymitarcyidae) inhabit distinctive U‐shaped burrows in river and lake sediments, yet their ecology remains poorly documented. Using newly developed mechatronic technology, we obtained continuous observations that revealed new aspects of larval behavior.

Self‐Assembled Calcite Architectures for Programmable Information Storage

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 11, Issue 16, 21 August 2026.
Programmable biomineralization enables the formation of 3D calcite architectures that encode information through spatially defined refractive‐index modulations. Data are written via laser‐directed mineralization, stored in stable voxelized mineral structures, and retrieved non‐destructively through optical diffraction, offering a pathway toward ultra ...
