Journal of Zoology, Volume 328, Issue 1, Page 41-51, January 2026.Understanding how animals interact with their environment across life stages is key for conservation. In our long‐term study of the Blunt‐headed tree snake (Imantodes cenchoa) in the tropical rainforest of Los Tuxtlas, Mexico, we tracked over 240 individuals and found age‐related differences in environmental preferences.

Accelerated hygrothermal aging of Talc/Cycloaliphatic epoxy composites
Polymer Composites, 2018 Cycloaliphatic epoxy (CE) systems are resistant to many aging mechanisms, which make them useful in applications with harsh environments. Reinforcement has been used in epoxy systems to decrease water absorption and improve aging resistance; thus, it is expected that talc would benefit CE systems in a similar manner.

Structural Concrete, Volume 26, Issue 6, Page 7312-7325, December 2025.Abstract The temperature match curing (TMC) method significantly enhances the accuracy of concrete property assessments by replicating in situ curing conditions in test specimens. While this method has remained underutilized and relatively unknown in the industry due to its complexity, the advent of Internet of Things and wireless sensor technologies ...

Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1959-1978, December 2025.ABSTRACT Despite the growing emphasis on green‐certified buildings, there remains a notable gap in understanding their humidity performance, particularly in residential settings. This study addresses this gap by evaluating the wintertime humidity performance of 40 subsidised, 7‐Homestar certified apartments for older residents in Auckland, New Zealand.

Investigation on the Durability of PLA Bionanocomposite Fibers Under Hygrothermal Conditions
Frontiers in Materials, 2019 Hygrothermal aging of neat poly(lactic acid) (PLA), PLA/microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), and PLA/cellulose nanowhiskers (CNW) fibers prepared by melt-spinning process was investigated at 95% relative humidity (RH) and two temperatures, i.e., 45 and 60°C.
