Earthquake and Tsunami NaTech Risk Assessment for Oil Storage Facilities

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Interaction of natural and technological hazards (NaTech) events, such as tsunamis and earthquakes, can affect industrial facilities such as those featuring anchored atmospheric storage tanks. Consequences of natural events on this kind of installation may include the release of hazardous substances, which in turn can lead to industrial ...

Experimental and Theoretical Investigation on the Progressive Breaking Law of Thick and Hard Rock Strata in Deep Mining

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This work reveals the “C‐Y,” double “Y,” “π,” and “Y” fracture modes of thick, hard strata and their progressive breaking process (O‐F‐R/S mode), providing a theoretical basis for controlling strong ground pressure in deep mining. ABSTRACT In response to the dynamic hazards caused by the fracture of thick‐hard strata in deep mining, this study ...

Cheia de axé (full of axé): Spirituality, resistance, and repair in Pernambuco's Afro‐Brazilian traditional communities

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract This article explores how Afro‐Brazilian communities in Pernambuco respond to state‐led industrial development through culturally rooted practices of resistance and repair. Drawing on archival and ethnographic research in the coastal municipalities of Cabo de Santo Agostinho and Ipojuca, this study traces the effects of Brazil's large‐scale ...

From Empire to Aid: Analysing Persistence of Colonial Legacies in Foreign Aid to Africa

Journal of International Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For decades now, Western development agencies and donors have been castigated for their colonial biases in providing aid to Africa. It is well established that donors provide considerably more foreign aid to their former colonies relative to other countries.

Managing the meniscus Part 2: Traumatic tear patterns, biologic augmentation, transplantation, innovation and future research

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Acute, traumatic meniscus tears are common and should be repaired whenever possible. However, the biological age of the patient, along with the specific tear morphology, may significantly influence the selection of the repair technique, expected clinical outcomes and the postoperative rehabilitation protocol.

Coal Mining as a Driver of Land Use and Land Cover Change and Degradation: A Case in Moatize City, Mozambique

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coal remains a major global energy source despite ongoing environmental controversies, particularly, regarding climate change and landscape transformation. This study investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of land use and land cover (LULC) in the Moatize Coal Basin (MCB), Mozambique, between 1990 and 2024, with a specific focus on land ...

Mechanisms of Laser Ablation in Liquids and Their Impact on the Efficiency of Nanoparticle Generation

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Laser ablation in liquid enables nanoparticle synthesis from diverse materials but remains less energy‐efficient than ablation in air. This study quantifies the absorption‐corrected ablation efficiency and experimentally confirms redeposition as the key loss mechanism using pump‐probe microscopy.

Mean‐Variance Payoff Applied to Stackelberg Games

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We analyse a Stackelberg duopoly in which the leader faces uncertainty about the intercept demand, while the follower observes the realised demand and decides whether to enter the market after the uncertainty is resolved. The leader evaluates the uncertainty by maximising a mean‐variance utility function that captures its risk aversion.

Effect of population reinforcement method, site, and plant characteristics on early establishment of the rare endemic plant species Minuartia smejkalii

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Many habitat‐specialist plant species have been endangered by fragmentation or destruction of their habitats. Minuartia smejkalii is a serpentinophyte endemic to the Czech Republic. It is highly threatened by recent habitat destruction and fragmentation, calling for effective conservation measures.

Multiple scales of fear: foraging behaviour of white‐naped jays in semiarid landscapes

Oikos, EarlyView.
Animals must constantly balance the need to find resources with the risk of predation. Not only avoiding direct encounters with predators but also assessing the overall risk of their environment using cues, social information or habitat traits at multiple spatial and temporal scales.
