Dynamics of biotic resistance to plant invasions

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biotic resistance, the reduction in invasion success caused by native communities, plays an important role in the long‐term dynamics of biological invasions. A large body of empirical research on biotic resistance has accumulated since the last comprehensive review on the subject 20 years ago, enabling us to achieve a refined understanding of ...

Animal empathy reconsidered: a multidimensional profile account

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Empathy is the glue that holds societies together and yet several fundamental questions about empathy persist. What is empathy (the definitional question)? Is it uniquely human and, if not, which nonhuman animals possess empathy (the distribution question)? Which type or quality of empathy is realized in different species (the quality question)

Investigating the Customer Journey in Second‐Hand Fashion Platforms: Implications for Luxury Brand Management

open access: yesJournal of Consumer Behaviour, Volume 24, Issue 2, Page 655-672, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Consumers' increasing environmental concerns are prompting a shift in fashion consumption, fueling the remarkable growth of the second‐hand market. Over the last decade, this trend has spurred the emergence of a plethora of online platforms dedicated to the resale of pre‐loved fashion items.

Antisolvent crystallization of lithium hydroxide monohydrate: Significant factors and kinetics analysis

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Crystallization is the final stage in lithium hydroxide monohydrate (LiOH · H2O) production, and antisolvent crystallization offers a lower‐energy route compared with evaporative methods. In this study, we investigated bench‐scale ethanol‐based antisolvent crystallization of LiOH · H2O, and identified the significant impact parameter via a ...

Box–Behnken optimization and ANN‐ANFIS integrated modelling for transesterification using thermally activated basic oxygen furnace slag catalyst

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Global energy demand and environmental concerns have intensified the search for renewable and sustainable energy sources. This study thus, focuses on optimizing the transesterification process of waste cooking oil (WCO) using thermally activated basic oxygen furnace slag catalyst calcined at 850°C (BOF 850). The optimization and modelling were

Review of CFD modelling techniques for single‐phase and multiphase flow in static mixers

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approaches for static mixers, linking hydrodynamics to pressure drop, particle/droplet distributions, mixing metrics, and heat‐transfer performance to guide modelling choices and design decisions. Abstract Static mixers enable compact and low‐energy intensification.

Front Propagation Through a Perforated Wall

open access: yesCommunications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We consider a bistable reaction– diffusion equation ut=Δu+f(u)$u_t=\Delta u +f(u)$ on RN${\mathbb {R}}^N$ in the presence of an obstacle K$K$, which is a wall of infinite span with many holes. More precisely, K$K$ is a closed subset of RN${\mathbb {R}}^N$ with smooth boundary such that its projection onto the x1$x_1$‐axis is bounded and that ...

Linear and Two‐Dimensional Infrared Spectroscopy of the Multifunctional Vibrational Probe, 3‐(4‐Azidophenyl) Propiolonitrile. Deperturbing a Fermi Triad by Isotopic Substitution

open access: yesChemPhysChem, Volume 26, Issue 6, March 15, 2025.
Linear infrared spectroscopy combined with isotope labeling and density functional theory unravels the origin of a Fermi triad in a multifunctional vibrational chromophore. Ultrafast 2DIR‐spectroscopy reports directly on the dynamics and the intramolecular vibrational energy flow pathways in the isotopically deperturbed system. Abstract Infrared probes

Plasmakristall‐4 Experiment: 10 Years of Operation in Orbit

open access: yesContributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plasmakristall‐4 (PK‐4) is a microgravity complex plasma laboratory operated for 10 years on board the International Space Station. Its main purpose is the particle‐resolved investigation of generic condensed matter phenomena using strongly coupled suspensions of microparticles immersed in low‐pressure gas‐discharge plasmas.
