Modeling Biocemented Sands: Hypoplastic Model for MICP‐Based Ground Improvement

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bio‐cementation offers a sustainable and low‐carbon alternative to conventional ground improvement methods, aligning with the growing demand for green geotechnical solutions. To enable reliable numerical simulation of bio‐cemented soil behavior in engineering applications, advanced constitutive models are required to account for the effects of

On Order Restricted Inference in Multi‐Step Stage Life Testing for a General Family of Distributions

open access: yesNaval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recently, k$$ k $$‐step stage life testing (SLT) has been proposed by Laumen and Cramer (2021) as a natural extension of progressive censoring with fixed censoring times (PC‐FCT) as well as of simple step‐stress accelerated life testing (SSALT).

Foraging and movement flexibility shape seed dispersal by an arboreal primate in a modified landscape

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
As habitats change, the effectiveness of animal‐mediated seed dispersal increasingly depends on animal responses to altered structure and resources. With habitat loss and degradation accelerating across the tropics, understanding how dispersers' foraging behavior and movement influence seed removal and deposition is critical to promoting forest ...

When Politics Shapes Administration: Bureaucratic Autonomy, Policy Role Separation, and Organizational Capacity in an Institutionally Weak Public Administration

open access: yesPublic Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of administrative autonomy and the separation of roles in public policy on organizational capacity within hybrid public administration systems, particularly in Colombia. It explores the dynamics between elected officials and civil servants, focusing on how the division of responsibilities and the autonomy granted

Conserving wildlife through demand reduction and supply alternatives: Two experiments in restaurants in Kinshasa

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract High aggregate levels of wildlife consumption in cities in Central Africa highlight the need for solutions that balance wildlife protection, local livelihoods and the relational values between people and nature. This study explores the impacts of demand‐ and supply‐side interventions on wild meat consumption through two randomized control ...

The impact of COVID‐19 on public perceptions of wild meat in Central Africa

open access: yesPeople 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
