Reproductive stages in lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium) occur earlier with increasing temperature

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Climate change is altering the timing of many plant phenological events, yet most studies focus on flowering, with less attention given to later reproductive stages such as fruit development and ripening. Vaccinium angustifolium (lowbush blueberry) is an important perennial berry species that may be sensitive to these changes.

Damped Seasonality Factors: Introduction [PDF]

open access: yes
Previous research has shown that seasonal factors provide one of the most important ways to improve forecast accuracy. For example, in forecasts over an 18-month horizon for 68 monthly economic series from the M-Competition, Makridakis et al.

Exposure to heat waves and drought improves subsequent leaf heat tolerance for five oak species in southern California

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Given the threats of climate change, we investigated the impact of high temperatures separately and in combination with reduced soil water on leaf heat tolerance for five oaks (Fagaceae) with overlapping ranges in southern California, USA: Quercus agrifolia and Q. chrysolepis (evergreen species), Q. douglasii and Q.

Hidden in the Labour Market: An Intersectional Latent Class Analysis of Discouraged Workers in Australia

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study employs an intersectionality‐informed latent class analysis (LCA) to examine the hidden diversity of discouraged workers in Australia. Drawing on nationally representative data from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey, we identified six empirically distinct subgroups defined by intersecting demographic and ...

Supporting Aged Care Worker Wellbeing: A Qualitative Document Analysis of the Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aged care work is physically and emotionally demanding. Workers can feel disempowered, vulnerable and at increased risk of experiencing work‐related stress. This in turn can result in sub‐optimal care and staff shortages. This study aimed to investigate what provisions exist within Australia's strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards to ...

Liquid–Liquid Equilibrium Data for Refined Olive Pomace Oil + Oleic Acid + Ethanol + Water Systems: Application to Solvent Deacidification

open access: yesJournal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents the first experimental liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE) data for quaternary systems composed of refined olive pomace oil, oleic acid, ethanol, and water at 303.15 K. These data are essential for the design and optimization of solvent‐based deacidification processes, particularly for oils with high free fatty acid (FFA ...
