Tree planting, natural colonisation, hybrid approaches: Land manager decisions explored

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract There is a global drive to protect biodiversity and help combat climate change. In the UK, this is expressed in a number of policy initiatives and tools that include increasing tree cover as an important nature‐based solution to achieving national policy targets.

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

The dynamics of wild and alternative meat consumption across Gabon, Central Africa

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Long‐term overharvesting of wild animals for their meat threatens wildlife and the people dependent on wild animal meat for their diets and incomes. Interventions to reduce wild meat consumption must be built upon a complete understanding of the roles of wild meat and its alternatives within food systems.

Delousing performance of ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta) and lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus): seasonal consistency and the challenge of cryptic lice for lumpfish

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Ballan wrasse and lumpfish effectively reduce sea lice on salmon year round, although lumpfish struggle with cryptic lice, highlighting new considerations for lice management. Abstract BACKGROUND Cleaner fish play a crucial role in controlling caligid sea lice in Atlantic salmon aquaculture across the North Atlantic.

Value Sharing and Stirling Numbers

Computational Methods and Function Theory
Let $f$ be an entire function and $L(f)$ a linear differential polynomial in $f$ with constant coefficients. Suppose that $f$, $f'$, and $L(f)$ share a meromorphic function $\alpha(z)$ that is a small function with respect to $f$. A characterization of the possibilities that may arise was recently obtained by Lahiri.

Space‐Efficient Logical Qubit Architecture with a Bus for Magic State Consumption

Advanced Quantum Technologies, EarlyView.
This paper proposes a logical qubit architecture, considering the consumption of magic states. By constructing the patch to the magic state using the repetition code and data qubits using the surface code, the proposed architecture minimizes the number of qubits, referred to as the space cost.

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.

Are boards reluctant to remove poorly performing successors to interim CEOs?

Strategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Interim CEO appointments are disruptive and costly to firms. Boards justify them as necessary to find the right permanent successor. But what happens if that successor performs poorly? This paper argues that directors may be reluctant to remove a poorly performing successor to an interim CEO early in their tenure.

Conformational bifurcation drives dual transport regimes in molecular junctions: Unsupervised machine learning insights

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.
Conformational bifurcation in n‐alk‐1‐yne molecular junctions drives dual transport regimes, with unsupervised machine learning and XPS revealing distinct planar and skewed conformers influencing conductance and tunneling efficiency. This discovery highlights anchor‐group control as a key design principle for tailoring molecular electronic devices ...

Preliminary Study on Unit Commitment for Renewable Energy Integration Considering Operation Cost and Life Cycle Assessment

IEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering, EarlyView.
Most countries, including Japan, are focused on achieving net‐zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050, which requires quick action. Despite the increasing level of renewable power generation in power grids, fossil fuel power plants still have a significant role in producing GHG emissions, causing serious environmental issues.
