An autonomous and economical benthic incubation chamber for measuring dissolved oxygen fluxes in shallow, low‐flow environments

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Benthic incubation chambers enclose a known volume of water overlying a known area to measure water chemistry changes and are typically used to quantify the metabolic activity of benthic organisms or communities. Here we present an economical benthic incubation chamber for shallow, low‐flow environments, built using off‐the‐shelf components ...

Circadian Immunity and Vascular Inflammation in Cardiovascular Disease Chronotherapy Windows: Time for a Re‐Assessment

Med Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circadian rhythms orchestrate cardiovascular physiology by regulating immune and inflammatory pathways. Disruption of these rhythms profoundly alters vascular homeostasis, thereby promoting the onset and progression of cardiovascular diseases (CVD).

Community dynamics of lignicolous lichens on standing deadwood in a 275‐year chronosequence

Oikos, EarlyView.
Dead trees provide discrete habitat patches in which patch quality changes gradually due to wood decomposition. Although in most cases these patches persist for not more than a few decades, in some ecosystems deadwood decomposition and the consequent change in habitat patch quality can be a centuries‐long process, potentially leading to dynamics of ...

The Snap Tension Analysis of Taut‐Slack Mooring Line with tanh Method [PDF]

Mathematical Problems in Engineering, 2017
The continuous model is introduced, and the nonlinear partial differential equations of taut‐slack mooring line system are transferred to nonlinear algebraic equations through tanh method, and four solitary solutions are obtained further. At the same time, to express the results clearly, the curve surfaces of strains, displacements, and tension are ...

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 ...
