Advantages of low‐glycaemic‐index carbohydrates in regulating glycaemic response of energy bar: A review

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Energy bars are widely consumed functional foods among athletes and physically active consumers who require convenient sources of sustained energy. Their carbohydrate composition, particularly the type and ratio of digestible sugars such as glucose, fructose and sucrose, strongly influences glycaemic index (GI), postprandial blood glucose ...

Living on the edge: Habitat characteristics of northern myotis at the periphery of its distribution

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Northern myotis selected tall trees with minimal decay, in patches with other roosting options. In our study area, these trees occurred in narrow bands within an agricultural matrix, differing from contiguous forest at the core of the species' distribution. Nevertheless, bats selected the tallest trees in the densest patches available.

The Impact of New Agricultural Operating Entities on Farmers' Adoption of Green Production Practices: Evidence From China

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT New agricultural operating entities (NAOEs) are the organizational core of modern agricultural systems, yet whether and how they draw smallholders into green production remains empirically unsettled. Using survey data from 803 vegetable growers in Shandong Province, China, and combining the coefficient of variation method, propensity score ...

Synthesis of Microbial‐Derived Octadecanoids

open access: yesLipids, EarlyView.
C18‐carbon containing dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (e.g., linoleic acid, α‐linolenic acid, and γ‐linolenic acid) are metabolized by bacteria in the gut into oxygenated lipid mediators termed octadecanoids. To study the biological function of these compounds, we report here the chemical synthesis of multiple octadecanoids.

Analysis of Carbohydrates and Glycoconjugates by Matrix‐Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Mass Spectrometry: An Update for 2023–2024

open access: yesMass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of MALDI mass spectrometry for the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates is a well‐established technique and this comprehensive review is the twelfth update of the original article published in 1999 and brings coverage of the literature to the end of 2024.

Computational Analysis of the Vibrational Response of Lunar Regolith Made of Nonspherical Grains

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vibration‐based systems have shown that appropriately oriented and tuned mechanical oscillations can disrupt regolith interlocking and promote flow. Building on this evidence, the present study investigates vibration‐controlled granular discharge as a potential ISRU (In Situ Resource Utilization) strategy, with the aim of supporting ...

Fundraising as Contracting: Why Nonprofits Accept In‐Kind Donations

open access: yesNonprofit Management and Leadership, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In‐kind (nonmonetary) donations are a popular form of philanthropy that have received much less scholarly attention than monetary gifts. This study documents the prevalence of types of in‐kind giving and associated organizational practices, then explores links between the perceptions of nonprofit managers, organizational practices, and ...

Characterising fine‐scale habitat associations for range expanding species with limited data: a case study on the West Nile Virus vector, Culex modestus

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
The ecological and epidemiological consequences of species expanding into new areas are growing concomitantly with climate change. Those aiming to monitor species expanding in range must make optimal use of finite resources to deliver effective surveillance capable of detecting new incursions and range expansions.

Greater future range expansions in alien than native ant species

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
There is growing concern that many species may not be able to track suitable conditions under climate change and suffer range contractions as a result. At the same time, alien species introduced to novel geographic ranges are often assumed to benefit from climate change.
