Conserving wildlife through demand reduction and supply alternatives: Two experiments in restaurants in Kinshasa

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract High aggregate levels of wildlife consumption in cities in Central Africa highlight the need for solutions that balance wildlife protection, local livelihoods and the relational values between people and nature. This study explores the impacts of demand‐ and supply‐side interventions on wild meat consumption through two randomized control ...

Understanding degradation of organic light-emitting diodes from magnetic field effects

open access: yesCommunications Materials, 2020
Improving the lifetime of organic light-emitting diodes requires that degradation processes are understood. Here it is demonstrated that magnetic field effects can be used as a non-destructive indicator of device degradation.

The OPERA Experiment [PDF]

open access: yesPhysica Scripta, 2001
OPERA is a neutrino oscillation experiment designed to perform a nu\_tau appearance search at long distance in the future CNGS beam from CERN to Gran Sasso. It is based on the nuclear emulsion technique to distinguish among the neutrino interaction products the track of a tau produced by a nu\_tau and its decay tracks.

Melodies of the forest: Nature as an improvisational space for shared creative embodiment

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract In an era marked by increasing disconnection from nature, innovative approaches to reconnect with the environment are crucial for both ecological and psychological well‐being. This paper explores how natural environments (a deciduous forest of Quebec in the present case study) can serve as an improvisational space for shared creative ...

When should firms watch for cross‐industry competition? A demand‐side perspective

open access: yesStrategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Research on competitor identification has primarily focused on intra‐industry competition. However, cross‐industry competitive threats are prevalent and consequential. We adopt a consumer‐oriented perspective to examine how consumer perceptions shape de facto competition across industry boundaries.

Early use of the reinforced concrete in the architecture of the Historicism in Austria–Hungary

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The study examines the early incorporation of reinforced concrete in the architecture of Historicism in Austria–Hungary. Spanning the late 19th to early 20th centuries, the research illuminates the period's stylistic pluralism and the transformative impact of reinforced concrete.

Influence of energy gap between charge-transfer and locally excited states on organic long persistence luminescence

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Long-persistent luminescence can be realized in all-organic systems (OLPL) but still with unsatisfactory performance. Here the authors investigate the relationships between energy levels and emission properties in a series of OLPL materials and propose a

Robustness assessment of reinforced concrete structures for different failure scenarios

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study describes the robustness assessment of 3D reinforced concrete structures analyzing the response of the 2D frames in different design configurations and failure scenarios. The structures are characterized by both frames with wide beams and seismic‐resistant frames with deep beams.

State Observation for Lipschitz Nonlinear Dynamical Systems Based on Lyapunov Functions and Functionals

open access: yesMathematics, 2020
State observers for systems having Lipschitz nonlinearities are considered for what concerns the stability of the estimation error by means of a decomposition of the dynamics of the error into the cascade of two systems. First, conditions are established

Dismantling the genus Tarenna (Rubiaceae: Pavetteae) in Africa and Madagascar, with the description of three new genera

open access: yesTAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract As presently circumscribed, the Paleotropical genus Tarenna, belonging to the tribe Pavetteae (Rubiaceae), comprises about 200 species and has its centres of diversity in tropical Asia and Africa. Previous molecular phylogenetic studies of the tribe revealed the polyphyly of Tarenna, suggesting that the genus needs to be recircumscribed ...
