Establishment Limitations of Sensitive Target Species Potentilla alba L. in Grasslands Restored on Arable Land

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Species in grasslands restored from former arable land have multiple obstacles when establishing. Understanding whether these limitations stem from soil chemical or microbial differences could help to create suitable environments for specific target and other species with similar requirements.

The Mantle Structure of North China Craton and Its Tectonic Implications: Insights from Teleseismic P-Wave Tomography

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
To study the mantle structure of the North China Craton (NCC) and its tectonic implications, in particular, the evolution of the rift systems in the Trans-North China Orogen (TNCO), we used teleseismic data recorded by 250 portable seismic stations to ...

Early and Progressive Spinal Cord Atrophy in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 1

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) is a rare, autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive cerebellar and brainstem degeneration. Previous studies have shown that spinal cord atrophy is also a key aspect of SCA1 neuropathology.

Actuation Strategies for Underwater Jet‐Propelled Soft Robots

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This review article examines jet‐propulsion mechanisms in underwater soft robotic systems, focusing exclusively on physically fabricated and experimentally validated robots. Covering research published from 2013 to 2025, this study classifies and evaluates jet‐propulsion robots based on their actuation mechanisms.

Structure of the mantle and tectonic zoning of the central Alpine-Himalayan belt

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2018
The Alpine-Himalayan orogenic belt is characterized by longitudinal zoning and transverse segmentation. Using the 3D seismic tomography model, we compiled the sections showing the deviations of seismic P-wave velocities from the average values in the ...

Gas check prevention during calendering of poly(vinyl chloride) films using poly(caprolactone)‐based additives

Journal of Vinyl and Additive Technology, Volume 31, Issue 2, Page 441-452, March 2025.
Three poly(caprolactone) (PCL)‐based additives of differing molecular weights were used as a secondary plasticizer to prevent gas checks in PVC films produced through calendering. Results showed that chemical and physicochemical properties influence the prevention or reduction of gas checks, unlike rheological properties including complex viscosity and

Putting the Femme in Feminist: Trans Feminism and the ‘Male Lesbian’ in the American Second Wave

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A slur, a joke or a post‐structuralist case of mistaken identity. To the extent that the male lesbian has been discussed, she has figured dismissively. Yet throughout the period historicised as American feminism's second wave, potentially thousands of trans femmes organised under this identity. Despite being entirely overlooked in scholarship,

Transient rheology of the Sumatran mantle wedge revealed by a decade of great earthquakes

Nature Communications, 2018
The rheology of the upper mantle is key to understanding how plate tectonics may evolve. Here, using GPS and tide-gauge measurements along the Sumatran subduction zone, the authors’ show that a bi-viscous rheology model is needed to explain the stress ...

Remembering Interracial Intimacies: South Asian Perspectives on Black/Brown Sex and Romance in Colonial East Africa

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bringing together historical evidence, postcolonial fiction and memory work, this study recovers South Asian cultural attitudes towards interracial heterosexual romance from the margins of East African history. It asks why Black/brown intimacy was treated as taboo and denied legitimacy within South Asian diasporic communities in British‐ruled ...
