That sinkin’ feeling: Environmentally induced distress on a disappearing island

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Residents of Tangier Island, Virginia, a subsiding island in the Chesapeake Bay, embody psychosocial dimensions of environmental change. Analysis of ethnographic data shows islanders’ experiences and articulations of anxiety, panic, and despair as “that sinkin’ feeling,” resulting from the stress of living with the long‐term threat of imminent

A Natural History of ‘Annoyances’: Knowing Weeds and Weeding Knowledge in the Early Royal Society and its ‘Georgicall Committee’

Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seventeenth‐century virtuosi often figured themselves as epistemic weeders, grubbing up rank thickets of accumulated error. In this article, I argue that these metaphors were unnerved by the shifting status of weeds—ostensibly unwanted plants from the margins of cultivated space, unploughed land or the disturbed soils between growing crops—in ...

Wood‐Based Cellulose Nanocrystals as Reinforcement for Sustainable Concrete Composites

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 10, Issue 10, October 2026.
Wood‐derived cellulose nanocrystals (WCNCs) serve as sustainable nano‐reinforcements in normal‐strength concrete. Incorporation of an optimal WCNC dosage of 0.05 wt.% enhances the balance between workability and strength, resulting in significant increases in compressive strength (16.1%), splitting tensile strength (13.6%), and flexural load capacity ...
