Evaluating the Energy Efficiency of Optimization Techniques in C, Python, and Java

Software: Practice and Experience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Software plays a critical role in modern society, but its energy consumption is a growing concern. This issue is especially evident in the Internet of Things (IoT), which involves billions of devices operating under strict energy constraints, most of which rely on C Programming Language (PL) because of its energy efficiency. Outside

Scaling from microsite to landscape to resolve litter decomposition dynamics in globally extensive drylands

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Decomposition is the transformation of dead organic matter into its inorganic constituents. In most biomes, decomposition rates can be accurately predicted with simple mathematical models, but these models have long under‐predicted decomposition in globally extensive ...

Environmental Justice in the Brazilian Coastal Food Systems: Policies, Institutions, and Knowledges on Small‐Scale Fishers and Energy Development

World Food Policy, Volume 12, Issue 2, November 2026.
ABSTRACT This study explores environmental justice issues in coastal food systems, focusing on conflicts between small‐scale fisheries and the energy sector due to differing goals in managing food and energy sources. It does so by examining the interdependence between institutions, policies, and different types of knowledge; key elements in building ...

Transmasculine Pregnancy and the Limits of Reproductive Citizenship: Cisnormativity and Governance in Healthcare Systems in Brazil

Sexuality, Gender &Policy, Volume 9, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines transmasculine pregnancy as a critical lens through which to analyze the intersections of cisnormativity, reproductive governance, and reproductive citizenship within healthcare systems. While existing research has documented barriers faced by transgender populations, less attention has been paid to how institutional and ...
