Design and Development of a Modular Ballistic Pendulum for High‐Impulse Measurement in Contact and Near‐Field Explosive Loading

open access: yesPropellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Measuring impulse from explosive charges in contact and near‐field configurations presents practical challenges due to wide variation in impulse magnitude. Ballistic pendula are widely used for impulse measurement, but many existing designs are limited to narrow operating envelopes or are poorly suited to repeated contact testing and tamped ...

National Policy Coherence Counts for Reducing Inequality in Global Climate and Development Agendas

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT International institutions promote policy coherence as crucial to the effective and fair implementation of global sustainability agendas, though the evidence for its benefits is slim. We present here the first systematic cross‐country dataset on the consequences of national government efforts to promote policy coherence for vulnerable groups ...

Green Transition, Extractive Continuities: Lithium Mining and the Environmental Contradictions of Sustainability

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global decarbonization has positioned lithium as a strategic mineral for electric vehicles, battery storage, and low‐carbon development. Yet its extraction raises serious environmental, political, and justice concerns that complicate dominant narratives of clean energy progress.

Fertilizer Sustainability: A Conceptual Framework for Assessing Equitable and Sustainable Soil Inputs

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern industrial agriculture is predicated largely on the production and utilization of chemical fertilizers. Although this approach has played an integral role in increasing food security in many parts of the world, the long‐term sustainability of this resource‐intensive approach is questionable.

Beyond Decarbonization: Human Rights, Vulnerable Workers, and an Operational Framework for Just Climate Transitions

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate transitions are widely presented as pathways toward decarbonization, green growth, and sustainable development, yet their social effects are mediated by labour‐market segmentation, regional dependence, institutional capacity, and unequal political voice.

Towards Responsible Mining in Africa: Problematising the Environmental and Public Health Concerns of Artisanal and Small‐Scale Gold Mining in Ghana

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There have been emerging media reports on the impact of cyanide and mercury use in artisanal and small‐scale gold mining (ASGM) operations on community health, especially among pregnant and non‐pregnant women, ASGM miners, and children in rural Africa.

Molecular glues: Recent advances in cereblon substrate identification and mechanistic insights

open access: yesSmart Molecules, EarlyView.
Molecular glues exert diverse core biological functions by inducing or stabilizing protein–protein interactions, extending far beyond the traditional scope of targeted protein degradation. Key breakthroughs include expanded cereblon substrate recognition, sustained G protein‐coupled receptor megacomplex signaling, and the first orthosteric molecular ...

Income Mobility, Automation, and Occupational Licensing

open access: yesSouthern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Technological change has long been tied with distributional concerns due to displacement against certain skills on labor markets. Short‐run dislocations could create scarring in the long run. For example, shifts against less skilled workers with children could limit their ability to improve the inter‐generational income mobility of their ...
