Scaling turbulence drives the general circulation

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The NOAA Gulfstream SP4, which deployed the GPS dropsondes over the NE Pacific Ocean as part of the Winter Storms Project during the January–March periods of 2004, 2005 and 2006. Abstract Statistical multifractal analysis of airborne and dropsonde observations is used to show that persistence of velocity after molecular collisions breaks the continuous

Stair‐Climbing Wheelchairs for Enhanced Mobility: A Comprehensive Review of Fundamental Mechanisms, Design Concepts, and Performance Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT People with physical disabilities face significant mobility challenges while climbing uneven surfaces and staircases. In these circumstances, traditional wheelchairs do not provide stable, safely controlled mobility, underscoring the importance of building superior stair‐climbing wheelchairs for both medical and infrastructure purposes.

Collateralization of the Body in the Central Sahara: On Forms and Effects

open access: yesEconomic Anthropology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article tracks a transporter along the route linking Tripoli to the Saharan town of Ghadames in post‐2011 Libya, asking what secures an obligation when the institutions that normally underwrite it (offices, courts, recognized names) have receded. I distinguish the debt, the sum owed, from the security pledged to answer for it: what may be

Evaluating structural resistance and updating modeling uncertainties through testing

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The aging of infrastructure necessitates a robust and rational methodology for the assessment of existing structures. Design codes provide general models which cover different design scenarios and are thus overly conservative. Also, such design approaches lack field data and, if applied directly to existing works, often lead to unnecessarily ...

ESG Performance, Green Finance Activities, and Bank Financial Stability: The Role of Institutional Quality

open access: yesThunderbird International Business Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the relationship between Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance and bank financial stability within the context of the green finance transition. Utilizing an unbalanced panel dataset of 251 banks across 56 countries, observed over the period 2009–2024, we analyze how this relationship is moderated by ...
