People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Game meat contributes to human nutrition, food security and sociocultural practices around the world. Game meat also comes with risks, including overharvesting and zoonotic and food‐borne disease. These may be pronounced where game meat travels along complex value chains from rural to urban areas.

Design and performance of a high-pressure-ratio, highly loaded axial-flow transonic compressor space [PDF]
A 50-cm-diam. axial-flow transonic compressor stage with multiple-circular-arc blades was designed and tested. At design speed, a rotor peak efficiency of 0.85 occurred at an equivalent weight flow of 29.3 kg/sec.

The impact of COVID‐19 on public perceptions of wild meat in Central Africa
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Wild meat is a significant source of food and income generation in Central Africa. However, there is little knowledge of how the assumed link between COVID‐19 and wild meat consumption has been discussed by the media and received by the public. In this study, we conducted media content analysis of 264 articles published in 2019–2020 related to

Experimental and Numerical Simulation Study of Compressors with Non-Axisymmetric Layouts
Shanghai Jiaotong Daxue xuebaoThe non-axisymmetric deviation of blade stagger angle and tip clearance has significant impact on aerodynamic performance and stability in actual compressors. In this paper, three sets of compressor test, including the prototype with a uniform layout, as

Gender dynamics of tropical wildmeat systems: A systematic map of women's roles and influence
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Wildmeat is a vital natural resource globally, which must be managed sustainably to avoid livelihood insecurity, species decline and biodiversity loss. Women have a pivotal role in harvesting, processing and distributing wildmeat, yet their contributions are often overlooked.
