Morphological variation in atlas and axis of Neotropical spiny rats (Rodentia, Echimyidae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The unique morphologies of the first two cervical vertebrae, the atlas and axis, represent a significant innovation in mammalian evolution. These structures support the weight of the head and enable intricate movements of the head and neck.

Under the Shade of a Coolabah Tree: A Second Cache of Tulas From the Boulia District, Western Queensland

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper reports on the excavation of a cache of stone artefacts, buried on the bank of a waterhole or ‘billabong’ in central western Queensland. This is an extremely rare find, and yet it is the second such site to be reported within less than a 10 km radius.

A sustainable business ecosystem: a case study demonstrating biochar's potential

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The need for renewable, climate‐friendly resources has become urgent as legislators worldwide have sought to find ways to cut emissions while ensuring resource security for consumers. The use of biochar could help to achieve these goals. This study examines the current state of commercial biochar production and the maturity of the related ...

Stresses in isostatic granular systems and emergence of force chains

, 2004
Progress is reported on several questions that bedevil understanding of granular systems: (i) are the stress equations elliptic, parabolic or hyperbolic? (ii) how can the often-observed force chains be predicted from a first-principles continuous theory?

Spatial metrics in fire ecology: seeking consistency amidst complexity

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Technological advances, including remote sensing, have led to a proliferation of metrics used in ecological studies to examine spatial patterns of fire regimes and their ecological effects. Researchers can use many different metrics to analyse spatial variation in both fire events and resulting fire regimes, including fire size, shape ...

Effects of Pipe Deflection and Arching on Stress Distribution and Lateral Earth Pressure Coefficient in Buried Flexible Pipes

Applied Sciences
In this study, full-scale laboratory tests were conducted on a 315 mm diameter HDPE pipe under shallow buried and localised surface loading conditions to investigate the effects of pipe deflection and arching on stress distribution and the lateral earth ...

A Study of High‐Emission Industries: How Policy, Strategy, and Technology Shape Corporate Social Responsibility Toward Carbon Neutrality

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The extant carbon neutrality (CN) literature largely offers macro‐ or meso‐level analyses, providing limited insights into implementation experiences that could inform granular policymaking and industry strategies. To address this gap, we examine the lived CN experiences of firms in the transportation, energy, manufacturing, and construction ...
