Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Industrial clusters are central to the circular economy transition, yet how they develop into eco‐clusters and the paradoxical tensions this transformation fuels remain underexplored. Drawing on 48 in‐depth interviews and secondary data from a Turkish textile‐recycling cluster, we develop an empirically grounded model of eco‐cluster transition

How Do Leaf-Cutting Ants Recognize Antagonistic Microbes in Their Fungal Crops?
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Leaf-cutting ants employ diverse behavioral strategies for promoting the growth of fungal cultivars in a structure known as fungus garden. As a nutritionally rich resource for the ants, the fungal crop is threatened by microbial antagonists and pathogens.

Improved Post‐Processing Framework for Whole Slide Imaging and 3D Reconstruction
Microscopy Research and Technique, EarlyView.Workflow for 3D reconstruction of marmoset whole‐slide histology. Individual tiles undergo vignette correction to address illumination artifacts before stitching into full‐section images. Sections are then reconstructed using the Possum framework, with a level‐set method incorporated at the nonlinear deformable stage to stabilize alignment and reduce ...

When AI Remembers: Investigating the Dual Role of Long‐Term Memory in Chatbots
Psychology &Marketing, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This research investigates the dual role of long‐term memory (LTM) in AI chatbots and its impact on customer outcomes. Drawing on Mind Perception Theory and Privacy Calculus Theory, we conceptualize LTM as a continuity‐based design capability that may be interpreted as a functional service feature, a privacy‐relevant cue, or a basis for ...

Resilience‐as‐doing: A relational model for living practice
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Dominant frameworks treat resilience as a capacity to withstand disturbance and recover, something systems, communities or individuals either have or lack. This paper proposes a different understanding, grounded in relational onto‐epistemology and first‐person, practice‐based, autoethnographic inquiry situated within a household garden.
