Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Physical trampling is a ubiquitous activity of walking vertebrates, but is poorly understood as a mechanism impacting biogeochemical cycling in soil. Lack of detailed knowledge of soil abiotic–biotic interactions underlying trampling effects, and the primary sources of ...

Investigation of the Combined Effect of Nano Copper Oxide and Polypro-Pylene Fibers in Asphalt Mixtures to Prevent Rutting [PDF]
پژوهشهای زیرساختهای عمرانیRutting is one of the most common failures in asphalt pavements, typically caused by inadequate compaction, loss of materials, or insufficient shear resistance of the asphalt mixture.

Changing practices, not just rules: Rethinking the institutionalisation of deliberative engagement
Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.Abstract When Victoria introduced legislation requiring all 79 councils to adopt deliberative engagement, 92% continued practices the legislation had just removed. This paradox reveals a fundamental challenge in embedding democratic innovations within existing systems of government: legislation signals commitment but cannot disrupt entrenched ...

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.Abstract This article analyses key factors related to citizen participation in place governance processes. We study how network characteristics (ties and trust), sense of power (ability to influence outcomes), and affective characteristics such as bond with place (place attachment) relate to resource‐intensive and resource‐extensive citizen ...

Ethnic Minority Representation After the 2024 General Election: Does Ethnicity No Longer Matter?
The Political Quarterly, Volume 96, Issue 1, Page 127-133, January/March 2025.Abstract With a new record of ethnic minority MPs elected in 2024, Westminster is nearly fully representative of voters of ethnic minority origins. This outcome was not entirely dependent on Labour's landslide, with pre‐election analyses showing that diversity of MPs would have improved with all possible election results.

Analysis of bituminous mixtures stripping/rutting potential
, 1997 A laboratory study was conducted to determine water sensitivity and rutting potential of asphalt mixtures. Two major tests were included in the study: AASHTO T-283 and a laboratory wheel tracking device (PURWheel).

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.In Alpine chamois, the complete wear of the first molar coincides with the beginning of senescence and the progress of tooth wear on calcareous substrate is slower than the one on other substrates, increasing life expectancy. Thus, the first molar wear may actually be considered as an effective descriptor of senescence stage.

Andrology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Hyperlipidemia‐related erectile dysfunction (HLED) responds poorly to first‐line treatments such as phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5Is), emphasizing the need for alternative therapeutic strategies. Rutaecarpine (RUT), a bioactive alkaloid, exhibits significant anti‐inflammatory and anti‐fibrotic effects.
