Navigating the Rapids: How Non‐Governmental Organization Managers Develop Strategic Adaptation to Repressive Political Environments

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article explores the management adaptation strategies non‐governmental organizations (NGOs) managers employ in order to operate in repressive political environments. It answers the question: how do NGO managers initiate, manage and sustain internal change when the political/regulatory environment changes?

Global distribution and contexts of interactions between humans and non‐human primates: A systematic review

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding the frequency and socio‐ecological drivers of contacts between humans and non‐human primates (NHPs) is crucial for enhancing coexistence that favours NHP conservation, while limiting negative consequences such as aggressions and cross‐species disease transmission.

Weathering the storms of climate change: Preparing persons with disabilities and the physiatrists who provide their care for extreme hurricanes

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate‐driven disasters have disproportionate and often devastating consequences on individuals with disabilities. Warming ocean and air temperatures are fueling more extreme tropical cyclones, further endangering those living in at‐risk regions.

Structure and Mechanism of PhdC, a Prenylated‐Flavin Maturase

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Prenylated flavin mononucleotide (prFMN) is a modified flavin cofactor required by the UbiD family of (de)carboxylase enzymes. While the reduced prFMNH2 form is produced by the flavin prenyltransferase UbiX, the corresponding two‐electron oxidized prFMNiminium form is required to support UbiD catalysis. Thus, oxidative maturation of prFMNH2 is

Introducing an Experimental Model of Asphalt Shear Strength Using Designed Jaws and Presentation of Shear Strength Prediction Model by Genetic Programming Method

Journal of Advanced Transportation
The main material used in the construction of roads is asphalt. Therefore, the recognition of asphalt’s mechanical aspects is very important. One of the important features of asphalt is its shear strength, which should be measured accurately.

Using expert elicitation to predict feral cat, Felis catus, responses to management

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
We generated estimates of lethal feral cat management success for 864 scenarios, only 71 lethal management scenarios met a population reduction target of 57%. Cat‐targeted poison baits, in dry conditions and arid areas were most successful. Feral cat management requires continued adaptive strategies to reduce cat impacts.

OPTIMIZATION OF COCONUT SHELL ASH AS A BITUMEN MODIFIER USING MARSHALL STABILITY PROPERTIES

Journal of Engineering Research and Development
The quest for sustainable pavement materials has led to the exploration of agricultural waste products like coconut shell ash (CSA) as potential modifiers for asphalt. This study evaluates the efficacy of CSA as a bitumen modifier in flexible pavements.

Moist convection and radiative cooling: Dynamical response and scaling

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The mechanism that sets the updraught velocities in deep convective clouds is studied here using cloud‐resolving model simulations in radiative–convective equilibrium. We show that, for simulations with vastly different rates of radiative cooling and surface temperatures, the buoyancy in clouds remains remarkably constant (histogram shown here).

Exploration of the use of short‐wave infrared radiances in weather forecasts model Part II: Data assimilation and forecast impact assessment

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The standalone non‐local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) bias correction schemes, utilizing a look‐up‐table and a linear regression method developed in Part I and new quality control procedures for short‐wave infrared radiances (SWIR), were tested within a data assimilation framework.
