Indigenous Relational Thought and Climate Crisis Response: Rethinking Human‐Environment Relations Beyond Technocratic Governance

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is frequently framed as a technical problem of emissions, risk, finance, adaptation planning, and institutional coordination. This critical integrative review, supported by scoping‐informed searching and transparent eligibility and synthesis procedures, examines how selected Indigenous relational literatures can deepen climate ...

Symbols of Climate Action: Audit Labor and the Production of Carbon Credits

open access: yesEconomic Anthropology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Voluntary carbon markets (VCMs) are promoted as tools for financing climate mitigation, yet their effectiveness and credibility remain contested. This article examines how carbon credits are produced and destabilized as symbols of climate action, emphasizing the forms of ecological and audit labor that sustain their legitimacy.

Optimization of non-uniform heat source/sink in a viscoplastic nanofluid with thermal radiation: the case of Bingham-Papanastasiou rheological theory

open access: yesResults in Surfaces and Interfaces
Viscoplasticity is defined by a yield stress where materials exhibit no deformation below this yield stress, while above it, they undergo deformation and flow in accordance with various constitutive relations.

Why theory matters for causal inference? Rethinking endogeneity in entrepreneurship research

open access: yesStrategic Entrepreneurship Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Endogeneity in entrepreneurship research is often treated as a statistical complication addressable through advanced econometric tools. This commentary argues that such an approach overlooks a deeper issue: endogeneity is conceptual before it is statistical.

Investigating phloem transport dynamics in Arabidopsis through compartmental modelling of positron emission tomography data

open access: yesPlant Methods
Background Phloem is the long-distance transport tissue of vascular plants in which photoassimilates are distributed from sources (e.g., leaves) to sinks (e.g., roots, fruits).

Reliability Analysis of Multi-source Multi-sink Critical Interacting Systems

open access: yes, 2011
Traditional reliability studies on probabilistic networks are devoted to evaluate the probability that two nodes or K nodes are connected, assuming that nodes are undifferentiated.

Surface Locomotion of Cell‐Sized Microrobots Subject to Adhesive Heterogeneity

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Chemically powered, cell‐sized microrobots exhibit translational, circular, or spiral motion through a balance among self‐phoretic propulsion, drag, gravity, and heterogeneous surface interactions. Experiments show that microrobot design and substrate conditions regulate both mobility and trajectory type.

An Outline of a Theory of Play

open access: yesSymbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
Play is often dismissed as trivial, yet it is a fundamental and adaptive aspect of human and mammalian life. This paper develops a sociological theory of play, treating it as a total social fact that spans biological, psychological, and social dimensions.

Spectral analysis of random source-medium-sink flows

open access: yes, 2008
We introduce and analyze a general stochastic model of random source-medium-sink flows. Particles are emitted from a stationary stochastic source, propagate randomly and independently of each other through a conducting medium, and are irreversibly ...

Empirical Physics‐Based Normal Behavior Modeling of Drive Train Temperatures With High‐Resolution Wind Turbine Operating Data

open access: yesWind Energy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The installed wind energy capacity increases every year. However, operation and maintenance costs still make up a considerable portion of the levelized costs of electricity. This costs can be greatly reduced by the application of suitable early fault detection methods. The supervisory control and data acquisition system of wind turbines is one
