Effects of Stand Structure of Artificial Shelter Forest on Understory Herb Diversity in Desert-Oasis Ecotone

open access: yesDiversity, 2023
The relationship between the spatial structure of shelter forests and the diversity of understory herbaceous plants in desert–oasis ecotones is important for maintaining biodiversity indices and protecting the oasis ecosystem.

Designing for biodiversity data in place: Species, encounters, and interfaces

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Species occurrence data, which records the presence of an organism at a point in space and time, is central to environmental science and its opening up to new forms of participation such as citizen science. Such data are increasingly aggregated and mobilised, reaching diverse audiences.

The influence of sampling unit size and spatial arrangement patterns on neighborhood-based spatial structure analyses of forest stands

open access: yesForest Systems, 2016
Aim of the study: Neighborhood-based stand spatial structure parameters can quantify and characterize forest spatial structure effectively. How these neighborhood-based structure parameters are influenced by the selection of different numbers of nearest ...

Tribological Behavior of Additively Manufactured Dual‐Material Polymer Composites

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Layered architecture, tribological performance, and wear mechanisms of additively manufactured dual‐material hybrid polymer composites. ABSTRACT This study presents a novel material design approach for wear‐resistant sandwich‐structured hybrid composites fabricated using dual‐nozzle fused deposition modeling (FDM). By co‐printing commercially available

Harnessing the nonthermal effects of ultrasound for cancer treatment: From mechanisms to applications

open access: yesSmart Molecules, EarlyView.
Nonthermal ultrasound transforms acoustic energy into diverse therapeutic bioeffects through cavitation, mechanical stimulation, and physicochemical activation. This review discusses how acoustic parameters, biological mechanisms, and responsive materials interact to influence nonthermal ultrasound‐enabled cancer therapies. Mechanism‐guided engineering

The Constellation: A Reappraisal of Walter Benjamin's Influence on Theodor W. Adorno

open access: yesConstellations, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the 1920s and 1930s, Walter Benjamin and Theodor W. Adorno both sought to develop a notion of Darstellung—of philosophical presentation or representation—that could provide an alternative to the classically idealist tendency to subsume objects under abstract concepts.

Folklore Studies, Fieldwork and the Making of a Domestic Anthropology in Fin‐de‐Siècle Britain

open access: yesHistory, EarlyView.
Abstract This article follows the ‘communities of knowledge‐making’ that formed around folklore collection at the end of the nineteenth century. Often regarded as eccentric or marginal figures in the history of human science, these collectors in fact engaged in lively and sophisticated discussions about the methodologies needed to study the mental ...

Stand spatial structure and productivity based on random structural unit in Larix principis‐rupprechtii forests

open access: yesEcosphere
Stand spatial structure plays a key role in forest management, and in particular the random structural unit, comprising random tree and its neighbors, largely determines forest stability and its productivity.
