Analytical Modeling of Heat Transfer and Deformation Around a Circular Cavity in Elastic Ground
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The subsurface is increasingly exploited to host energy, utilities, and infrastructure systems that interact with surrounding soils and rocks through their thermal and functional operation. Prominent examples are provided by energy geostructures, district heating networks, buried power cables, steam and water pipes, and underground nuclear ...

Networks, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The analysis of certain properties of the underlying graph of a public transport network generates insights about the network's structure. Hereby, the choice of the graph representation depends on a trade‐off between complexity reduction and information preservation to adequately model a public transport network.

Alpine flora of Kashmir Himalaya: floristic assessment, life history traits and threat status
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Alpine ecosystems in the Himalaya are considered to be at a higher risk to anthropogenic global change drivers. The Kashmir Himalaya, located in the north‐western side of the Himalayan biodiversity hotspot, harbors a diverse alpine flora, which remains systematically little investigated.

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The ancient practice of cremation has been documented across numerous cultures, yet burnt remains can indeed become a huge challenge for anthropologists, both in archaeological and in forensic contexts. The analysis of such skeletal material presents significant challenges associated with the alterations caused by the process of burning.

The impact of COVID‐19 on public perceptions of wild meat in Central Africa
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Wild meat is a significant source of food and income generation in Central Africa. However, there is little knowledge of how the assumed link between COVID‐19 and wild meat consumption has been discussed by the media and received by the public. In this study, we conducted media content analysis of 264 articles published in 2019–2020 related to

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Amid increasing urbanisation and biodiversity decline, ‘effective stewardship’ of urban green space (UGS) is a complex but critical nature‐based solution for long‐term environmental, social and economic gain. Combining stewardship and sense‐of‐place frameworks with European nature‐based solutions guidance, we investigate which social and ...
