Ellipsoid‐Based Interval‐Type Uncertainty Model Updating Based on Riemannian Manifold and Gaussian Process Model

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern engineering systems require advanced uncertainty‐aware model updating methods that address parameter correlations beyond conventional interval analysis. This paper proposes a novel framework integrating Riemannian manifold theory with Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) for systems governed by Symmetric Positive‐Definite (SPD) matrix ...

An Exact Method for Reliable Shortest Path Problems With Correlation

Networks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Shortest path problems often arise in contexts where travel times are uncertain. In these settings, reliable paths are often valued more than paths with lower expected travel times. This has led to several variants of reliable shortest path problems (RSPP) that handle travel time reliability differently. We propose an algorithmic framework for

Frugivory‐mediated trophic cascades: how apex predators can shape the recruitment of a fleshy‐fruited tree

Oikos, EarlyView.
The recovery of large carnivores offers unique opportunities to study their cascading impacts on plant population dynamics. Medium‐sized carnivores, both prey and seed dispersers, are suppressed by apex predators, indirectly increasing seed‐eating rodent's populations and potentially altering plant establishment.

Functional diversity in agricultural landscapes: evidence of long‐term clustering and multi‐scale effects of land use on avian communities

Oikos, EarlyView.
Functional diversity (FD) is an essential community property connecting biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and conservation objectives. In agricultural landscapes, avian communities, which play key functional roles, are facing large‐scale biodiversity erosion, largely due to land‐use changes.

Hunting motivations, behaviour and forest access: Characterising wildlife hunting practices in a multi‐ethnic, forested landscape of Brunei Darussalam, Southeast Asia

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Unsustainable hunting practices can alter population dynamics, driving biodiversity declines, which leads to ‘empty forests’. Understanding hunting behaviour, including motivations for hunting and relationships with market drivers, and access to hunting grounds are important to develop affirmative policies to stem biodiversity loss.

Climate Change and Energy Security Risk: Do Green Patents, Institutional Quality, and Human Capital Make a Difference?

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change poses a significant threat to global energy security, yet the mechanisms through which this relationship unfolds—and the factors that buffer their adverse impacts—remain underexplored. This study examines the link between climate change, proxied by CO2 emissions, and energy security risk (ESR), with a particular focus on the ...

Reducing Trade‐Offs of Net Zero Carbon Transitions Through Entrepreneurship and Coordinated Innovation: A Spatially Disaggregated Analysis Across Countries and World Regions

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Transition processes towards a sustainable future benefit from historic perspectives, since feasible changes of socio‐technological conditions and processes depend on a holistic assessment of how actors are embedded in existing institutions, routines, and structures. Building on the Income–Population–Affluence–Technology equation and utilizing

Security Shaping Sustainability: The Difference Between Securitized and Community‐Based Conservation in Benin

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As global conservation efforts intensify, balancing environmental protection with social sustainability has become increasingly urgent. This study employs a comparative case study approach to examine two natural resource management interventions in northern Benin: one led by African Parks in an insecure zone, and another by TMG Research in a ...

Cell Culture Substrate Variation Alters Extracellular Vesicle Biogenesis Without Affecting Non‐Coding Repeat RNA Profile

Small, EarlyView.
Cell culture biomechanical conditions influence extracellular vesicles (EVs) production in patient‐derived pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cell lines. When grown in 3D conformation and in hydrogels with lower elasticity (0.5kPA), PDAC cells produce higher numbers of EVs, compared with cells grown in 2D on classic cell culture plastic.
