Integrated Evaluation of Contaminant Profiles, Detection Techniques, and Management Strategies for Tannery Sludge

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This review article critically examines the environmental and health hazards of tannery sludge (TS), a complex by‐product of the leather tanning industry. TS is characterized by a diverse array of contaminants, including heavy metals like chromium, organic pollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), volatile organic compounds ...

Unlocking fruit dimensions: Quantification of functional traits driving plant–frugivore interactions

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Fleshy fruits attract animals to ingest fruit, swallow the seeds, and release them in the landscape, thus facilitating seed dispersal and plant regeneration. Attraction of animal dispersers is achieved via attractants such as color or scent, and rewards like sugars, lipids, and micronutrients.

A simple and affordable protocol to assess censer seed dispersal: First confirmation of the mechanism in the genus Solanum

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The censer seed dispersal mechanism, whereby mature fruits are retained on plants and seeds dispersed by mechanical shaking, is among the most specialized wind‐aided seed dispersal strategies employed by the flowering plants. An efficient, affordable, and easily repeatable protocol for determining whether a species uses this unusual ...

Animal‐mediated seed dispersal: A review of study methods

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract By dispersing seeds, animals provide ecological functions critical for the ecology, evolution, and conservation of plants. We review quantitative and empirical approaches and emerging technologies to quantify processes and patterns of animal‐mediated seed dispersal (zoochory) across its phases: from predispersal to postdispersal.

OGFRL1 deficiency causes CRMO via pathological osteoclastogenesis, with therapeutic response to TNF inhibitor

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objectives To verify the pathogenesis of the OGFRL1 loss‐of‐function variant (c.30del, p. F10Ffs*110) identified in a CRMO patient and investigate the underlying mechanism. Methods Whole exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing were performed to identify and confirm the variant.

Multilevel analysis of ethnic clustering across local schools: Exploring group dynamics

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines ethnic clustering patterns across English secondary schools from 2010 to 2018 using National Pupil Database data and multilevel modelling. Despite concerns about increased segregation following educational reforms, findings reveal a general decline in ethnic concentration across all groups during this period.

Indonesian inquiry: A narrative of biocultural teaching on Sulawesi Utara

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Using phenomenology, narrative inquiry and autoethnographic approaches, this study analyses a program of faculty development conducted alongside the delivery of an international field school. Through this study, we explore the value and benefits of inter‐cultural field programming and how these might serve to complement or to redress ...
