Spatial metrics in fire ecology: seeking consistency amidst complexity

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Technological advances, including remote sensing, have led to a proliferation of metrics used in ecological studies to examine spatial patterns of fire regimes and their ecological effects. Researchers can use many different metrics to analyse spatial variation in both fire events and resulting fire regimes, including fire size, shape ...

Polarization-sensitive Mueller-matrix optical coherence tomography [PDF]

, 2004
Measuring the Mueller matrix with optical coherence tomography (OCT) makes it possible to acquire the complete polarization properties of scattering media with three-dimensional spatial resolution. We first proved that the measured degree-of-polarization

RNA‐centric world of retroviruses: unravelling the molecular strategies of genomic RNA packaging

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Retroviruses constitute a unique group of RNA viruses that have profoundly influenced both evolutionary trajectories and biomedical research. Their ability to reverse transcribe and integrate into host genomes has shaped genomic architecture across species and contributed to our understanding of oncogenes, gene regulation, and RNA biology ...

Climate Change Risk and Financial Stability: Implications for European Banking Institutions

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines whether climate change risk weakens banking‐system stability in the European Union and assesses how renewable energy adoption and energy‐related taxation moderate this relationship. Using panel data for 27 EU countries from 2012 to 2022 and applying fixed‐effects OLS, two‐stage least squares (2SLS), and robust generalized ...

Carbon Footprint of Bank Loans: Opportunities and Risk Implications in the Banking Industry

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines whether the carbon footprint of bank loan portfolios influences bank stability, profitability and cost efficiency and whether regulatory quality moderates these relationships. Using a balanced panel of 33 countries from 2005 to 2018, the analysis combines banking‐sector indicators from the World Bank Global Financial ...

The Influence of Responsible Leadership on Corporate Social Responsibility: The Mediating Role of Affective Organizational Commitment and Organizational Identification

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Currently, organizations are facing unprecedented stakeholder expectations for corporate social responsibility (CSR). To face this challenge, responsible leadership is crucial. However, the mechanisms that explain how these leaders encourage CSR engagement are underexplored, emerging as a critical research priority.

The Effect of Microgravity on Lower Eyelid Position in Astronauts

Eye &ENT Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Specific facial changes are known to occur in microgravity. A higher lower eyelid position has been observed during short‐term microgravity but has not been analyzed in astronauts during spaceflight. Purpose To describe the effect of spaceflight on lower eyelid position.
