From traditional practice to unsustainable exploitation: Fruit overharvesting on the endangered relict palm Jubaea chilensis

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Overharvesting of wild edible plants poses a growing threat to plant populations worldwide, particularly for slow‐growing species with limited regeneration. We quantified fruit extraction from the third‐largest known population of Jubaea chilensis—an endangered palm endemic to Chile—modeled the critical harvest threshold, and assessed consumer ...

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

The Application of the Double-mouse Hole Stand Building Offline System on Land Rig

Shiyou jixie, 2017
In view of the low efficiency and high cost of the existing stand building on land rig, a double-mouse hole stand building offline system that does not occupy the wellhead has been proposed. The system uses the double mouse hole drill floor layout.

Gerard Manley Hopkins and the Christian Imagination [PDF]

, 1993
The role of poets is to get their anchors caught in many such monasteries, to shimmy down the entangling ropes, and then to record the marvelous resistance that caused them to stop in the first place to notice.

SMILE: Extraction‐free submicron‐resolution mapping of lipid chain length and unsaturation by stimulated Raman imaging

VIEW, EarlyView.
In this work, we develop submicron‐resolution mapping of intracellular lipid elements (SMILE) as an extraction‐free vibrational spectroscopic imaging platform based on hyperspectral stimulated Raman scattering microscopy with a spectral analysis pipeline for pixel‐resolved lipid profiling.

A Formation Inversion Algorithm Based on Collaborative Fuzzy Gradient Neural Dynamics for Natural Gamma Logging While Drilling

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A formation inversion algorithm with real‐time performance and accuracy is crucial for natural gamma logging while drilling (LWD). However, traditional inversion algorithms are often limited by high computational resource consumption and insufficient accuracy.
