Realising Aboriginal Community Controlled Approaches to Child Reunification

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reunification rates for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in out‐of‐home care (OOHC) in Australia are critically low, even though reunification is the preferred permanency outcome for children following removal, and despite a range of mechanisms and strategies ostensibly to support effective reunification. To better understand the

Organic farming policies and the growth of the organic sector in Denmark and the UK: a comparative analysis [PDF]

, 2008
There has been little systematic analysis of the extent to which organic farming policies have influenced growth in the organic sector. Analyses of organic farming policy instruments, for the most part, provide extensive and detailed reviews of ...

Movement of Overlying Strata and Mechanical Responses of Shallow Buried Gas Pipelines in Coal Mining Areas

Applied Sciences
Damage to buried gas pipelines caused by mining activities has been frequently reported. Based on a case study from the Central China coal mining area, this research employs a scaled model experiment to investigate the movement of overlying strata in a ...

Biopolymer‐Coated Paper Composites for Sustainable Packaging

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Conventional plastic packaging, though dominant in food and flexible applications, poses serious environmental concerns due to its persistence and limited recyclability. To address this challenge, this study develops bio‐based coated paper composites as sustainable alternatives. Paper, while biodegradable, lacks adequate barrier properties. To

Isostatic phase transition and instability in stiff granular materials

, 1998
In this letter, structural rigidity concepts are used to understand the origin of instabilities in granular aggregates. It is shown that: a) The contact network of a noncohesive granular aggregate becomes exactly isostatic in the limit of large stiffness-

Synapsids and sensitivity: Broad survey of tetrapod trigeminal canal morphology supports an evolutionary trend of increasing facial tactile specialization in the mammal lineage

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The trigeminus nerve (cranial nerve V) is a large and significant conduit of sensory information from the face to the brain, with its three branches extending over the head to innervate a wide variety of integumentary sensory receptors, primarily tactile.

Relative Particle Motion–Based Discrete Element Method (RPM–DEM) for Analyzing Soil Arching Effects

Advances in Civil Engineering
During tunnel excavation, complex soil arch structures often form due to the redistribution of in situ stresses, and their evolution and stability significantly influence the deformation of surrounding rock and the risk of geological instability.

Effect of Subway Excavation with Different Support Pressures on Existing Utility Tunnel in Xi’an Loess

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2020
The interaction between two shield tunnels and the integrated pipe corridor is complicated and still lacks understanding. This paper investigated the influence of the double-track subway construction on the deformation characteristics of the existing ...
