Winners, Losers, and the Implications of Inequality in Biodiversity Conservation Policies: Insights From European Development Aid to Central Africa

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT International aid for biodiversity conservation is expected to provide alternative livelihoods for forest‐dependent communities to offset restrictions on forest use. This aligns with the contemporary conservation discourse that promotes pro‐poor, human rights‐based, and sustainability principles.

Flood Risk‐Sensitive Land Use Governance: Explaining Enforcement Gaps in the Case of Accra, Ghana

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research has shown that effective flood risk management is closely connected to land use governance, i.e., the land use system involving diverse, relevant stakeholders (e.g., landowners, public authorities, disaster management organisations) and their formal and informal land development practices.

Mapping the Ontology and Epistemology of Research Into Forest Carbon Offsetting in Developing Countries

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we consider knowledge cumulation in one of the most polarized areas of environmental governance research: forest carbon offsetting in developing countries. Our specific contribution is a critical review of the ontological and epistemological positioning of 31 studies published in the peer‐reviewed literature on forest carbon ...

Multi‐Level Policy Coherence Analysis in Wicked Nexus Problem Settings: The Case of Nitrogen Pollution in Germany

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental problems are often wicked and face multiple challenges, making policy coherence a goal of high relevance. The issue of nitrogen pollution is an outstanding example, representing the pressing demand on different policy fields and levels to achieve coherence of the respective objectives, instruments, and measures.

Platinum‐Binding Peptides: Binding Kinetics, Affinities, and Facet‐Specific Conformational Adaptation

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, EarlyView.
Two new platinum‐binding peptides are identified by phage display against Pt‐{100} and polycrystalline targets. Binding free energies (ΔG) are quantified on Pt‐{111} surfaces using a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring. Synchrotron radiation circular dichroism (SRCD) reveals facet‐dependent conformational adaptation on cubic (Pt ...

Research on the Characteristics and Mechanisms of Supercritical CO2 Displacement of Shale Oil Under Nanoscale Confinement

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Shale reservoirs, characterized by compact pores, poor physical properties, and high organic matter content, exhibit significant differences in microscopic flow behavior compared to conventional oil reservoirs. These distinctions complicate the accurate assessment of shale oil reserves and the selection of optimal exploration and development ...

Quantitative Evaluation of Sand Body Connectivity Based on the Support Vector Machine Algorithm: A Case Study of the Putaohua Oil Reservoir in the Daqing Oil Field, Songliao Basin, China

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
A support vector machine (SVM) algorithm was applied to quantitatively predict the connectivity of the sand bodies. Verification using dynamic and static data demonstrated that the prediction accuracy of the algorithm reached 88%. The quantitative sand body connectivity results were used to establish a single sand body model.
