Intimate Spaces on the Open Road: Navigating Access, Trust, and Ethical Boundaries during Field Research with Long Haul Truck Drivers

open access: yesSymbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
Despite its ubiquity, the trucking industry is not well‐understood in social scientific literature. Gathering insight into truckers' worlds is difficult due to the solitary, isolating, and unpredictable nature of the work. An understanding of truckers' work lives and work ideologies is even further limited.

Understanding the Dynamics of Mechanically Interlocked Molecular Systems via Metadynamics Simulations

open access: yesThe Chemical Record, EarlyView.
This Personal Account discusses how molecular simulations help uncover motion, shuttling mechanisms, and kinetics in mechanically interlocked molecules such as rotaxanes and catenanes. Mechanically interlocked molecules, such as rotaxanes and catenanes, display complex internal dynamics and reciprocal motions that are central to their use as artificial

Assessment of Oxidative Stress, Vitellogenin, and Human Health Risks Derived From Nile Tilapia Exposed to Metals and Metalloids in Southeastern Brazil

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urban coastal lagoons are highly vulnerable ecosystems increasingly affected by metal contamination, as well as multiple anthropogenic stressors. This study evaluated ecotoxicological and human health risks associated with chronic metal exposure in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) from an anthropogenically impacted lagoon in southeastern ...

Sargassum Lung Syndrome: Air Flow Obstruction and Bronchial Inflammation Are Observed After Prolonged Exposure to Sargassum Gas Emissions in the Eastern Caribbean

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sargassum inundation of Caribbean and American shorelines is a growing environmental hazard. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) produced by decomposing Sargassum could be involved in airway obstruction and bronchial inflammation. The study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of exposure to H2S and NH3 gases emitted during Sargassum ...

Cotton Farming Pesticides Affect Ileal Microbiota Activity and Expression of Virulome but Not Resistome or Metabolic Pathways in a Sedentary Wild Passerine

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increased use of agrochemicals to enhance crop production has had detrimental environmental effects including implication in the sharp decline of North American farmland‐breeding birds. Here, using a combination of deep shotgun metatranscriptomics and pesticide exposure data, we sought to assess whether exposure to cotton (Gossypium spp ...

Energy Flows Balance of Electric‐Heating Interconnected Microgrids Under Grid‐Forming Converter Integration Based on Heterogeneous Graph Convolutional Network

open access: yesEnergy Internet, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The combination of electric‐heating interconnected microgrids (EHIMs) with grid‐forming converters (GFMCs) offers a highly promising approach to improving energy management within decentralised energy systems. Despite its potential, precisely modelling and analysing energy flow in such systems remains a considerable challenge due to the ...

An Overview of High‐Temperature Superconducting Cables in DC Systems: Unlocking Potential for High‐Voltage DC Networks

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper provides an overview of high‐temperature superconducting (HTS) cables in DC systems, with a focus on their deployment in high‐voltage DC (HVDC) networks. The assessment of HTS cable properties—such as extremely low electrical resistance, high current‐carrying capacity and a compact geometry—and their comparison with those of ...

Diet, phenology and body size shape nutrient release by songbirds

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Animals can dramatically alter ecosystem structure and function through the cycling and transport of nutrients in their waste. While birds are particularly capable of influencing nutrient cycles due to their high mobility, abundance, metabolism and functional diversity,

Limited capacity for rapid acclimation to marine heatwaves in coastal invertebrates

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Across 10 coastal invertebrate species, we provide a rare multi‐species test of rapid acclimation to realistic marine heatwaves. Responses are consistently weak, revealing that short‐term plasticity cannot keep pace with warming and may lead to underestimated vulnerability in coastal ecosystems. Abstract Marine heatwaves are increasing in frequency and

Recommendations to Reform the National Electricity Market (NEM)

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Australia's National Electricity Market (NEM) was established in the late 1990s. The market is an energy only gross pool with zonal (state‐based) pricing. Over the past 15 years, the system has undergone a profound transformation as large coal‐fired power stations have retired and substantial volumes of large‐scale and embedded behind the ...
