Towards more reliable interdisciplinary modelling of global human–environment dynamics driving biodiversity change

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Environmental problems are typically vast, urgent and complex. Confronted with such problems, we are often tempted to act fast by pulling together little bits and pieces from different fields and simply adding these to pre‐existing models and frameworks.

Top‐Down CSF Peptidomics Reveals Disease‐Associated Peptide Signatures and Oxidative Modifications in Multiple Sclerosis and Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) are inflammatory demyelinating diseases of the CNS whose diagnosis is mainly based on clinical evidence, magnetic resonance imaging, and the analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Current approaches provide only partial insight into disease‐related biological processes, thus

Reconstructing Long‐Term Historical Hydrologic Alteration to Support Environmental Flows in Texas

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding and quantifying hydrologic alteration is essential for effective watershed management and ecological conservation. This study developed a modeling framework to predict reference hydrology and assess and model hydrologic alteration across Texas using publicly available geospatial datasets.

Examining the Role of Economic Complexity and Climate Readiness in the Climate‐Fishing Nexus

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the climate‐fisheries association in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations from 1999 to 2022. A key objective is to explore the role of both the economic complexity index (ECI) and the climate readiness factor (READ) in the climate‐fishing nexus.

Monodisperse Condensed Tannin and Derived Carbon Nanospheres Featuring Well‐Defined Surface‐Structured Metal Species

Small, EarlyView.
Uniform, size‐tunable polyphenol nanospheres are assembled from condensed tannins in water at ambient conditions via controlled supramolecular interactions between tannin and diamines. Their phenolic–amine surfaces template highly dispersed metal species that resist sintering during pyrolysis.

Programmable Chirality Transfer: Seeding‐Directed Co‐Assembly of Functional Molecules With Amyloid Frameworks

Small, EarlyView.
Seeding‐directed co‐assembly enables efficient chirality transfer from chiral amyloid scaffold to achiral functional molecules. Controlled assembly pathways result in hierarchical hybrid supramolecular structures showing enhanced induced electronic circular dichroism (IECD) and/or vibrational circular dichroism (IVCD).

Vog: Using Volcanic Eruptions to Estimate the Health Costs of Particulates

The Economic Journal, EarlyView., 2018
The negative consequences of long‐term exposure to particulate pollution are well established but a number of studies find no effect of short‐term exposure on health outcomes. The high correlation of industrial pollutants complicates the estimation of the impact of individual pollutants on health.

High temperature fracture behavior and damage evolution of recycled aggregate concrete produced from metakaolin modified parent concrete

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The increasing use of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) offers significant environmental benefits by reducing construction and demolition waste; however, its fracture performance and damage evolution under elevated temperatures remain insufficiently understood, particularly when recycled aggregates are derived from metakaolin modified parent ...
