How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Collapse-Pounding Dynamic Responses of Adjacent Frame Structures under Earthquake Action
Advances in Civil Engineering, 2020 There are a large number of adjacent buildings in practical engineering application. The structure will collapse and impact the adjacent structures once the weak column is destroyed under seismic action, and, finally, the earthquake damage is aggravated.

Food Waste Applications Beyond the West: Archetypes and Insights From China
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Food waste is a major challenge for sustainable development, but digital solutions designed to reduce it remain unevenly distributed globally. Food waste mobile applications (FWMAs) have emerged as promising tools for reducing food surpluses through redistribution and improved household food management.

Microtubule Destabilizing Kinesins: A Historical Perspective and Thoughts for the Future
Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The microtubule cytoskeleton plays critical roles in multiple cellular processes such as mitotic spindle assembly and chromosome segregation. Cells contain a number of microtubule‐associated proteins that regulate microtubule dynamics both temporally and spatially in cells. The microtubule depolymerizing kinesins include members of the Kinesin‐

From Custom to Court: The Evolution of Mediation in European Legal Systems
Conflict Resolution Quarterly, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article traces how European mediation has repeatedly rebalanced three variables—(1) the source of mediator authority, (2) the degree of institutionalization, and (3) the operative meaning of voluntariness—from antiquity to the present. Using three periods—Proto‐Mediation (c. 500 BCE–c. 1750), Classical Mediation (c.

A Flexible Poling‐Free Piezoelectric Energy Harvester Based on Gradient Ti‐Doped BiFeO3 Films
ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.A self‐aligned polarization is realized in compositional gradient Ti‐doped BiFeO3 films via the formation of defect dipoles and strain gradient. The self‐poling behavior is robust to resist high electric field and elevated temperature. The fabricated poling‐free piezoelectric energy harvester delivers output comparable to the poled ones.

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper investigates emerging soil carbon markets and seeks to identify the groups of actors and power relations that constitute their structure and function. Voluntary soil carbon markets (VSCMs) are emerging globally as a key mechanism for generating carbon removals as part of climate mitigation efforts.
