International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How does infrastructure shape rural development? Using household panel data from a nationally representative sample of Chinese villages, matched to high‐resolution highway maps, we find that road expansion between 2000 and 2015 operates mainly through reallocation, with less productive farmers scaling down or exiting and more productive ...

Effects of Surface Abrasion With Airborne‐Particles and Surface Etching With Hydrofluoric Acid on Color Difference and Translucency of Nano‐Hybrid Ceramic

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate the effects of alumina airborne‐particle abrasion, glass‐bead airborne‐particle abrasion, and hydrofluoric acid etching of intaglio surfaces on the color difference and translucency of a nano‐hybrid ceramic after cementation to resin abutment specimens, and to analyze the relationships between surface roughness and these

Adaptation to extreme environments: A review of Antarctic fish physiology

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Having evolved in the chronically cold and thermally stable waters of the Southern Ocean (SO) for millions of years, Antarctic fish possess a suite of physiological specializations that enable them to survive at temperatures near the freezing point of seawater. Adaptations include the evolution of antifreeze proteins, modifications of membrane

The First Report of Cod Gill Poxvirus in Gills of Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua L.) Suffering From Cardiorespiratory Disease

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 48, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Atlantic cod farming experiences renewed growth in Norway, and increased awareness is essential to address emerging diseases in this species. There are few reports on gill diseases in cod, and to date, no viral gill infections of cod have been documented. In this study, we collected samples from three sequential time points in summer 2023 from

The Long Arc of Forest Land Dispossession and Degradation—Firm and State Actions on Sámi Lands in the Wood‐Based Commodity Frontier in Northern Sweden, 1673–1955

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article presents a new way of obtaining deep explanations of environmental problems. We expose the production strategies, corporate strategies and state actions that have been taken by firms and state agencies to facilitate the geographical expansion of the wood‐based commodity frontier at the expense of reindeer pastoralists among the ...
