The Politics of Policy Robustness: A Central Paradox and Computational Review of Adaptive Policymaking

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Policy robustness, that is, the capacity of policies to sustain performance across diverse and uncertain futures, is increasingly considered a core objective of public policymaking. Although adaptive policymaking is widely promoted as an approach to achieving policy robustness, it suffers from a central paradox highlighted by theories of the ...

Experimental and Modeling Investigation of Seawater Hydrolysis Effects on Aramid Fiber Rupture Behavior

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Hydrolytic aging in seawater produces markedly different mechanical responses among commercial Aramid fibers. While some fibers exhibit progressive degradation, others maintain stable or even improved tensile behavior. Experimental yarn‐scale testing combined with mathematical degradation modeling and Arrhenius‐based lifetime prediction provides new ...

A Machine Learning Approach to Predict Functional Performance From Measurable Protein Structural Characteristics: A Screening Tool for Protein Ingredient Quality

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The food industry is witnessing the emergence of specialized protein‐based functional ingredients for the use as gelling, thickening, and/or emulsifying agents in various food applications. Different sources of protein including species and cultivars, as well as variable processing conditions affect the protein's structural characteristics ...

Modulation of wind drag by tidal currents in an embayment

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Tidal currents modulate how wind energy enters the surface wave field by influencing both wave drag and wave generation. In Shark Bay, following currents reduce effective wave steepness and wind drag, and opposing currents enhance wave growth. Wind energy is partitioned between wave drag and the creation of new waves, explaining observed tidal ...

Investigation of Floating Offshore Wind Farm Layout Optimization Considering Mooring Line Constraints

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) have become a promising solution for harnessing wind energy in deeper seas. However, the complex interplay between FOWT layout, mooring line patterns, and wake effects significantly influences the overall ...

Impact of data assimilation on Arctic sea‐ice thickness variability and its coupling with atmospheric forcing

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We document for the first time how the assimilation of CS2SMOS observations improves the model representation of Arctic sea‐ice thickness (SIT) and its variability: biases are reduced (top row), while excessive variability in the Beaufort Sea and lack of variability in the ice pack are both corrected (bottom row).

A Method for Identifying Rainfall‐Runoff Events at Sub‐Hourly Time Scales: Applications for Nature‐Based Solutions and Water Resources

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how changes in catchment conditions affect ecohydrology in response to rainfall‐runoff events is crucial when developing informed strategies to enhance flow resilience, restore natural habitats, interpret water quality data or reduce flood risk.

Experimental and numerical investigation of transient responses and mooring tensions of SFT induced by sudden mooring failure

Applied Ocean Research
This paper examines the transient responses and line tensions of a submerged floating tunnel (SFT) subjected to sudden mooring-failure incidents through experiments and numerical simulations.

A Multi‐Method Approach to Assessing Barrier Effectiveness in Preventing the Spread of Invasive Signal Crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus)

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Relieving barriers and increasing free flowing rivers is a global imperative to restore habitat connectivity for migratory fish stocks. While reducing river fragmentation will certainly improve biodiversity, the spread of non‐native species throughout a river system may be facilitated as an inadvertent outcome.

Rhyming in the cold: first evidence of soniferous fishes in the Southern Ocean

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
The acoustic ecology of Southern Ocean fishes remains unknown due to a lack of dedicated acoustic research on the fishes of this ocean. Passive acoustic monitoring data were collected at the South African sub‐Antarctic Prince Edward Islands using an underwater acoustic recorder, and towed underwater Ski‐Monkey cameras were deployed to identify fish ...
