On the Conceptual Overstretch of Weaponized Interdependence in Lithium and Rare‐Earth Element Markets

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper critically examines the conceptual overstretch of weaponized interdependence (WI) in analyses of China's dominance over lithium and rare‐earth element (REE) markets. Although WI has become a central framework for interpreting EU–China economic relations, its application to raw materials often extends beyond the theory's original ...

Concurrent uncertainties and investments: Offset effect of Brexit and COVID‐19 on SME growth

European Management Review, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the impact of uncertainty driven by dual crises, regulatory/institutional uncertainty (illustrated by Brexit) and market/operational uncertainty (illustrated by the COVID‐19 pandemic), on the growth trajectories of SMEs. Using Real Options Theory as a guiding framework, hypotheses are developed to examine how investment

Swift heavy ion irradiation effects on structural, surface, and optical properties of ZnSe thin films

Next Materials
ZnSe thin films were deposited using a two-step process involving DC sputtering of Zn thereafter by CVD-based selenization, and the effects of swift heavy ion irradiation were systematically investigated using two ion species with distinct energy-loss ...

Drought and salinity stress remodel Asian rice (Oryza sativa) leaf development through cell‐type‐specific regulatory programs

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Osmotic stressors induce developmental and physiological changes in rice (Oryza sativa) seedlings, which are modulated by cell‐type‐specific gene expression and regulatory networks. We exposed plants to two levels of drought and salinity stress and measured the effects of these stressors on developing leaves by measuring physiological traits, ion ...

Molecular Chaperone Networks in Plants: Maintaining Proteostasis and Enhancing Stress Resilience for Crop Improvement

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Molecular chaperones play a central role in the plant proteostasis machinery by aiding the folding of nascent proteins, preventing aggregation, and repairing or degrading damaged proteins. These functions are especially essential during abiotic and biotic stress, which can destabilise cellular proteins and disrupt metabolic homoeostasis.

50 MeV Li- and 80 MeV Ni- ions induced modification in ZnO cauliflower like structure: Structural, optical and electrical studies

Chemical Physics Impact
In this work, ZnO has been synthesized by co-precipitation method and mixed with 0.5 % of polyvinyl alcohol for the preparation of thin film. These ZnO thin films have been irradiated with lithium (Li) and nickel (Ni) beams of energy 50 MeV and 80 MeV ...

Energy threshold for the creation of nanodots on SrTiO3 by swift heavy ions

, 2010
International audienceWe present experimental and theoretical data on the threshold behaviour of nanodot creation with swift heavy ions. A model calculation based on a two-temperature model that takes into account the spatially resolved electron density ...

Unveiling contrasting iron efficiency strategies in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) genotypes under iron deficiency

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Common bean genotypes differ in their iron acquisition through distinct Strategy I responses and root exudation patterns. Abstract Iron (Fe) deficiency in food crops, particularly on calcareous soils, limits productivity and human nutrition. This study investigated two common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) genotypes, Guaymí (high Fe‐accumulating, HI) and ...

Impact of dicarboxystilbene impurities on the properties of swift heavy ion latent tracks in PET films

Optical Materials: X
We present a new hypothesis and supporting experimental evidence about the essential role played by small impurities of dicarboxystilbene in the process of UV treatment of PET films irradiated with swift heavy ions (SHI). This treatment both forms highly

Collective Corporate Power and the International Maritime Organization (IMO)

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The importance of international shipping in economic development, as well as its intersection with international security, environmental protection and other fields of global governance, has encouraged much interest in the rule‐making processes that govern the sector.
