Making Mining Licit: Gold, Commodification, and the Everyday Performance of Law in Colombia
American Anthropologist, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Ethnographies of resource‐making have shown that the extraction of resource value from objects is premised on obviating the emplaced lifeworlds that surrounded objects before they traveled to consumer markets. Much of this literature looks at such supply‐chain disentanglement from the viewpoint of corporate and formal regulatory practices ...

Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT With northern regions warming at twice the global rate, assessing the state of archaeological sites in these areas is critically important. In this study, we used a multimethod geophysical approach (ERT, GPR, and EMI) to characterize the current geocryological conditions of an Inuit archaeological site on South Aulatsivik Island (Labrador ...

Uptake of mineral nitrogen from subsoil by winter wheat
Plant, Soil and Environment, 2006 The apparent uptake of mineral nitrogen (Nmin) from top- and subsoil layers during the growth of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was studied in Prague-Ruzyne on clay loam Chernozem soil in years 1996-2003.

Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Riverine and valley systems across the globe have been central to the development of past urban centres. By AD 900, the Shashe and Limpopo Rivers seem to have facilitated the interaction and integration of early farming communities in southern Africa. This paper focuses on the application of geoarchaeological perspectives made available by the

Soil mineral nitrogen and the rating of CaCl2 extractable nutrients
Plant, Soil and Environment, 2017 It was assumed that the determination of the mineral nitrogen (Nmin) content in the 0.01 mol/L CaCl2 could rely on measurements of single form NO3--N, NH4+-N or both, and even including other extractable nutrients.

Luminescence dating of coastal deposits from the Chanthaburi Plain, Thailand
Boreas, EarlyView.The ongoing global sea‐level rise urges us to better understand the dynamics of coastal processes for predicting future changes. Sedimentary deposits reflect past coastal environments but require precise chronological data to place evidence into a temporal context.

Theorizing Waste as a Technique of Power in Capitalistic Stakeholder Relations
Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.Abstract Waste is an important socio‐ecological challenge of contemporary capitalism, contributing to climate change and environmental degradation. Despite its pervasiveness and its impacts on diverse stakeholders, it yet remains largely underexplored in management and organization studies.

Fine‐root trait variation in temperate trees follows arc‐shape pattern along deep soil profiles
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Root trait variation along the soil depth profile in four temperate tree species. Summary Roots are plants' interface with the soil, controlling access to water and nutrients. Yet, fine‐root trait variation along deep soil profiles and its functional implications remain poorly understood.

Determination of Stress in Spread Foundation Subsoil by Various Approaches
Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2015 The paper deals with the determination of stress induced in spread foundation subsoil by Slovak Technical Standard STN 73 1001:2010 (STN) and Polish Standard PN-81/B-03020 (PN). While STN does not consider with stress state in subsoil just after carrying
