Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Basalt‐dwelling blind mole rats maintain lower body temperatures, show greater post‐digging thermal increases, and dig more efficiently than those from rendzina soils. Although metabolic rates and bite force did not differ between populations, these thermal and physiological shifts align with the greater mechanical resistance and seasonal hypoxia of ...

PREDICTION OF MAXIMUM SCOUR DEPTH AROUND SPUR-DIKE-LIKE STRUCTURES
PROCEEDINGS OF HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING, 1999 Some features of flow and scouring around spur-dike-like structures (or abutments) are discussed based on experiments under clear-water scouring. A simplified analytical model for the prediction of the maximum scour depth around these kinds of structures is developed by considering flow concentration to a restricted region in the scour hole.

Scour below the toe of breakwaters: Investigation of scour formation through a geometrically open filter configuration located at the toe of a rubble mound breakwater lying upon sand [PDF]
, 2012 Scour formation at the toe of a rubble mound breakwater can lead to abrupt failure. Nowadays, counteraction of scour via geometrically closed filter rules, geotextiles or combinations is the common practice.

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.The gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus), a keystone species and ecosystem engineer, has declined by ~80% over the past century due to primarily habitat loss. In a 28‐year resurvey of federally protected Mobile County and state‐protected Baldwin County, we found tortoise populations persisted at ~59% and ~31% of sites, respectively, with significant ...

Predicting scour depth at seawalls using GP and ANNs [PDF]
, 2017 Accurate prediction of maximum scour depth is important for the optimum design of seawall structure. Owing to the complex interaction of the incident waves, sediment bed, and seawalls, the prediction of the scour depth is not an easy task to accomplish ...

The Mutable Original: How Chinese Counterfeits Become Nigerian Originals in African Markets
American Anthropologist, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Affordable Chinese copies of Western brands are ubiquitous in African markets. Despite democratizing consumer access, these goods appear to cement hegemonic value hierarchies that rank Chinese or local products as inferior to Western goods.
