Associations between mycorrhizal dominance and woody species diversity shift with stand development and climate across subtropical and tropical forests in Taiwan

Ecography, EarlyView.
Mycorrhizal symbioses influence woody species diversity, but whether this association shifts with forest stand development remains underexplored. Using forest inventory data across subtropical and tropical forests in Taiwan, we found that woody species diversity was lower in ectomycorrhizal (EM)‐dominated than in arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM)‐dominated ...

Seizure forecasting: The long and winding road to clinical translation

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Seizure forecasting has progressed from theoretical aspiration to a rapidly advancing research domain, yet clinical translation remains limited. Over the past decades, advances in algorithm development, chronic electroencephalography (EEG), wearable sensors, and the characterization of seizure cycles have demonstrated that seizure risk is not ...

Monthly or menstrual? A scoping review of catamenial epilepsy and non‐menstrual seizure rhythms

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Despite the reported high prevalence of catamenial epilepsy (CE), the condition remains poorly defined, with lack of consensus on what entails a menstrual‐related seizure exacerbation. Emerging evidence of multiday cycles of seizure activity, including about‐monthly cycles, present in both men and women, further confound the ...

Psychological Contracts With Purpose: A Review and Path Forward

Journal of Organizational Behavior, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This review advances the understanding of psychological contracts (PCs) that include third‐party beneficiaries and transcend self‐interested goals, which we term “PCs with purpose.” PC theory has challenged the assumption that social exchange relies solely on balanced rewards and inducements, highlighting that individuals may wish to ...

Prescriptive Positivism: Discourse on Sustainable Development Goal Interactions and Perspectives for a Post‐2030 World

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are unlikely to be achieved by 2030, prompting debate about what should follow. Beyond revision, there is a need to critically examine what values and assumptions have shaped how the SDGs are conceptualised and operationalised.

Perspectives on Climate Change in Education for Sustainability: Linking Concepts and Skills for a Practical Ecological Transition

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT ‘Hard’ natural sciences have extensively been used to provide evidence that climate change is happening and climate action is needed. If the contribution of our economic activities to disturbing our climate systems is now largely accepted, the way in which we design and operationalise ‘climate action’—how we transition to more sustainable ...

Scalable Room‐Temperature Terahertz Graphene Cameras

Small Methods, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terahertz (THz) imaging has emerged as a powerful tool for non‐destructive, label‐free analysis across several scientific disciplines, ranging from materials science to biomedical research. By capturing the spatial‐dependent information in a broad range of frequencies, this technique enables the identification of chemical composition ...

Analysis of Stirling engine’s performance in recovering waste heat from wood pellet, coconut husk and bagasse

Journal of Thermal Science and Technology
In recent years, industrial boilers that generate power from biomass have drawn a lot of attention. Nevertheless, a sizable portion of thermal energy is frequently lost to the environment as flue gas throughout the process.
