Characteristics, properties and limitations of per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and fluoropolymers

Polymer International, EarlyView.
An overview and categorization of man‐made per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) including low‐molar‐mass and high‐molar‐mass fluorochemicals, and their international regulations is presented. Though certain PFASs are toxic, bioaccumulative and cross the human cellular membranes, others, such as fluoropolymers, are safe, reliable and involved in ...

The physical and synoptic‐dynamical differences between warm days, hot days, and heatwaves during summer in Victoria, Australia

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
During the day, there is composite mean cold advection in the boundary layer on warm days (WDs), hot days (HDs) and heatwaves (HWs). There is weaker surface‐sensible heating on HDs and HWs. A nocturnal jet advects warm air on HDs and HWs. There is a strong and slow‐moving upper‐level anticyclone on HWs.

Improving heavy precipitation forecasts through phase‐aware nonlinear bias correction of all‐sky infrared radiances using cloud top temperature differences

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study proposes a phase‐aware bias correction framework for all‐sky infrared radiance assimilation. Cloud top temperature differences between observations and model background fields are used to identify cloud‐phase mismatch and cold‐cloud regimes.

Progressive emergence of canopy gravity waves during the afternoon–evening transition

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Large‐eddy simulations are used to investigate the afternoon‐to‐evening transition of turbulence over a forest canopy and its coupling with atmospheric boundary‐layer dynamics. As surface cooling strengthens stability and weakens near‐canopy winds, canopy turbulence transitions progressively to internal gravity waves that dominate the evening flow ...

A Macroinvertebrate‐Based Flow Index Elucidates Responses to Environmental Water in a Highly Regulated River

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Macroinvertebrate‐based flow indices have potential application to guiding environmental flow allocations and monitoring their effectiveness, but their sensitivity to such flows has seldom been tested. We examined the response of the Australian Macroinvertebrate Flow Index (AMFI), calculated from family‐level data, to three stages of ...

Rhyming in the cold: first evidence of soniferous fishes in the Southern Ocean

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
The acoustic ecology of Southern Ocean fishes remains unknown due to a lack of dedicated acoustic research on the fishes of this ocean. Passive acoustic monitoring data were collected at the South African sub‐Antarctic Prince Edward Islands using an underwater acoustic recorder, and towed underwater Ski‐Monkey cameras were deployed to identify fish ...

Quantifying Migratory Bat Movements in Central Europe Across Seasons and Years Using a Vertical‐Looking Radar

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Vertical‐looking radar provides a first multi‐year analysis of migratory bat phenology in Europe. Bat activity was lowest in winter, increased from spring, and peaked in summer, with similar timing of pre‐ and post‐maternity migrations across years.

The importance of abilities in inclusive experiences from the perspective of people with visual impairments: the example of alpine skiing

Frontiers in Sports and Active Living
BackgroundAlpine skiing offers both opportunities and challenges for individuals with visual impairments. Despite its potential for inclusion, barriers persist that limit participation. Using an ableism-critical and interpretivist perspective, this study

Designing for unanticipated uses: How product attributes shape community‐led exaptation

Strategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Users often discover new uses for products that firms may later commercialize, which we call community‐led exaptation. We examine how product attributes shape users' discovery of new functions versus new functionalities. Using 1925 IKEA product hacks, we find that modularity increases the likelihood of new functions.
