ABSTRACT Nature‐based solutions (NBS) for climate adaptation encompass a range of approaches that work with nature to increase resilience to climate change while providing ecological, economic and social co‐benefits. These solutions have frequently been put forward for application in urban contexts, such as the creation of urban forests, but can ...

Abstract A central question in cognition is how representations are integrated across different modalities, such as language and vision. One prominent hypothesis posits the existence of an abstract, prelinguistic “language of vision” as a representational system that organizes meaning compositionally, enabling cross‐modal integration.

T&C‐SMEW is an integrated modelling framework that couples ecohydrological, biogeochemical, and weathering processes to quantify carbon dioxide removal (CDR) via enhanced rock weathering (ERW). The model captures high‐frequency plant–soil–water interactions that govern cation release, alkalinity generation, soil pH dynamics, and ecosystem carbon fluxes.

Two models for assessing the prey mass of European ungulates from wolf scats
Among the prey of wolf Canis lupus Linnaeus, 1758, in many European regions, roe deer Capreolus capreolus, red deer Cervus elaphus and wild boar Sus scrofa are of primary significance.

Physical modelling to demonstrate the feasibility of screw piles for offshore jacket supported wind energy structures [PDF]
Screw piles potentially offer quieter installation and enhanced axial tensile capacity over straight shafted driven piles. As such, they have been suggested as a possible foundation solution for offshore jacket supported wind turbines in deeper water. To

Abstract Saffron (Crocus sativus L.) is an ideal crop for arid and semiarid regions due to its low water requirement and high economic value. This study involves calibration and validation of the Hydrus‐1D model in order to explore the influence of climate change on saffron corm production.

Polarization Möbius strip at the tight focus of a generalized Poincaré beam
Based on the Richards-Wolf formalism, we investigate tight focusing of a generalized Poincaré beam. Analytical expressions are derived for all components of the electric field strength vector in the focal plane.

A Quantitative Analysis of 21st Century Skills: A Case of Semantic and Psychometric Overlap
ABSTRACT While the concept of 21st century skills has become omnipresent, there is little consistency regarding the terms, definitions, or measurement instruments used, causing a problem for personnel selection policies as well as education and training.

Effects of liming on soil physical and chemical properties in Europe and North America: A review
Abstract Soil acidity is one of the major constraints limiting crop production worldwide. About 50% of the global arable land is acidic. Liming remains an effective strategy for soil acidity amelioration and improvement of soil fertility. The objective of this review was to summarize information on liming effects on soil physical and chemical ...

Some exact solutions to the Lighthill–Whitham–Richards–Payne traffic flow equations
We find a class of exact solutions to the Lighthill–Whitham–Richards–Payne (LWRP) traffic flow equations. Using two consecutive Lagrangian transformations, a linearization is achieved.
