Can Environmental Markets Pay for More Sustainable Farm Dams? A Cost–Benefit Analysis

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Farm dams are widespread artificial waterbodies that play a critical role in agricultural water security. Enhancing these systems through sustainable interventions such as fencing, hardened access points, and revegetation can improve water quality and deliver carbon and biodiversity co‐benefits.

A Luminescent PEI/Cy5‐Citrate‐Functionalized Carbonated Apatite Nanoplatform for In Vitro Gene Delivery and In Vivo Traceability

Small, EarlyView.
A luminescent PEI/Cy5‐citrate‐functionalized carbonated apatite nanoplatform combines biocompatibility, plasmid delivery, and Cy5‐based traceability. The system enables effective in vitro gene delivery while preserving cell viability and allows real‐time in vivo fluorescence tracking of the nanocarrier.

Bidirectional Plant‐Microneedle Responses to Guide Biomaterial Design

Small, EarlyView.
We examine bidirectional interactions between plants and polymeric microneedles to develop effective compound delivery strategies. Material chemistry and architecture determine stability in the plant environment, cargo–matrix interactions, and the magnitude and duration of the plant response. Plant microneedles should therefore be designed as a coupled

Can AI be Easy? Lessons Learned From the EZR.py Toolkit

Software: Practice and Experience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Much recent press claims that developers no longer need to read code. We disagree, at least within the domain of tabular software‐engineering (SE) optimization tasks: rows of x$$ x $$ and y$$ y $$ values where the y$$ y $$ values are expensive to obtain.

Effect of Hot Rolling Temperature on Oxide Scale Formation, Grain Size, and Pickling of Stainless Steel

steel research international, EarlyView.
The effects of finishing rolling temperature, coiling temperature, and annealing on scale formation and pickling performance are studied. Scale morphology and composition are studied via SEM‐EDS, and pickling performance is studied by evaluating scale residues and mass losses during pickling.

Photocatalytic and Biotechnological Strategies for Remediation of Persistent Organic Pollutants: Mechanisms, Toxicity, and Antimicrobial Perspectives

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) pose significant ecological and human health risks due to their persistence, bioaccumulation, toxicity, and global distribution. Conventional remediation methods are often inadequate for achieving complete mineralization, demonstrating the need for advanced and substantial approaches.

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 ...

Mechanistic scaling of twig allometry and crown architecture in Scots pine: implications for moose browse availability

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Balancing moose Alces alces populations with forest production objectives remains a major challenge in Swedish forestry. We developed a mechanistic, data‐driven model of browse availability in Scots pine Pinus sylvestris saplings by linking shoot‐level allometry, crown architecture, and tree height development.
