Biodiversity–food trade‐offs when agricultural land is spared from production
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Biodiversity conservation in agricultural landscapes, the world's predominant land use, could involve sparing, or setting aside, agricultural land from production, implying biodiversity–food trade‐offs. Employing bird species and agricultural data in two panel data sets, we evaluate the extent of set‐aside's trade‐offs in England between 1992 ...

Comparison of the Net Work Output between Stirling and Ericsson Cycles
Energies, 2018 In this paper, we compare Stirling and Ericsson cycles to determine which engine produces greater net work output for various situations. Both cycles are for external heat engines that utilize regenerators, where the difference is the nature of the ...

Low mood, worry and mind wandering in children
British Journal of Developmental Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract Previous research with adults and adolescents has established that mind wandering—characterized by a shift in attention from external tasks to internal thoughts—is associated with negative affect and reduced psychological well‐being, particularly when focused on past events.

Holodilʹnaâ Tehnika i Tehnologiâ, 2017 Progress on advancing technology of using liquid nitrogen for the non-polluting automobiles is reported. It is shown that the low exergy efficiency of the known engines fueled with liquid nitrogen has discredited the very idea of a cryomobile. The design

Strategies, costs and counter‐strategies to sexual coercion
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sexual conflict, the conflict between the evolutionary interests of females and males over mating, occasionally results in the evolution of traits favourable for one sex and adverse for the other. In this context, males can use sexual coercion to increase their mating success, at the expense of their female targets' mate choice.
