Income Mobility, Automation, and Occupational Licensing
Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Technological change has long been tied with distributional concerns due to displacement against certain skills on labor markets. Short‐run dislocations could create scarring in the long run. For example, shifts against less skilled workers with children could limit their ability to improve the inter‐generational income mobility of their ...

Exploring the potential of Textile Reinforced Concrete for corrosion‐insensitive retaining walls
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract In a context where durability concerns, particularly the corrosion of steel reinforcement, remain a critical challenge for conventional reinforced concrete structures under severe exposure, Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) is emerging as a promising alternative.

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Visual systems mapping is a systems engineering approach used to represent complex processes and interactions. This study evaluates its application for documenting assumptions in life cycle assessment (LCA) baseline scenarios. In LCA, the baseline or reference case represents the business as usual system against which changes in impacts (e.g.,

Quantifying microhabitat selection of snowshoe hares using forest metrics from UAS‐based LiDAR
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Identifying the spatial and temporal scale at which animals select resources is critical for predicting how populations respond to changes in the environment. The spatial distribution of fine‐scale resources (e.g. patches of dense vegetation) are often linked with critical life‐history requirements such as denning and feeding sites.

The effects of moose and pine density on browsing damage in Swedish pine forests
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Moose Alces alces is a culturally and economically important game species in Sweden, but their browsing on regenerating Scots pine trees Pinus sylvestris often causes extensive damage to the production and quality of timber. Forest and wildlife managers are faced with the dilemma of how to reduce damage to timber trees while also supporting moose ...
