Operating in perpetual motion? Coping with the dark side of global boundary spanning

Global Strategy Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary This paper explores how individuals experience and cope with the demands of global boundary spanning in multinational enterprises (MNEs). We foreground temporary colocation as a modality through which mobile global boundary spanners repeatedly traverse multiple boundaries, triggering intense demands with adverse consequences ...

Eroding Confidence in Gully Location Risk Prediction in Mine Pit Rehabilitation

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how rehabilitation measures, such as landform shaping, and surface finishes impact gully erosion risk could assist in designing less erosive rehabilitation. In this study we use high resolution digital elevation models of rehabilitated mine pits to explore risk factors for gully formation.

Modified Biochar for Wastewater Nutrient Recovery and Slow‐Release Fertilization in Sandy Agroecosystems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modified biochars are increasingly recognized as multifunctional materials for wastewater nutrient recovery and slow‐release fertilization in sandy agroecosystems. This review evaluates modified biochars, with particular emphasis on tyre‐derived biochar (TBC), for (i) recovery of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) from wastewater and digestate ...

Experimental investigations of connections for robustness of mass timber buildings

, 2023
Recent growth in mass timber construction has raised concerns about preventing disproportionate and progressive collapse, emphasizing the need for performance-based design due to general lack of understanding the behaviour of mass timber connections under extreme load and deformations.

Care through cultivation: Indigenous Swidden agriculture as forest care

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper argues that the agricultural practices of Bunong swidden cultivators in northeastern Cambodia constitute relational care for forests that is fundamentally misunderstood, misrecognized, and marginalized by dominant state policies, conservation, and development paradigms. Bringing together care theory, long‐term ethnographic research,

Mechanistic Identification of Modal Softening and Self-Centering in a Full-Scale Mass-Timber Rocking-Wall Building Under Sequential Shake-Table Excitation

Buildings
Mass-timber rocking-wall systems are designed to limit residual deformation by concentrating lateral response in controlled uplift, recentering, and replaceable energy-dissipation mechanisms.
