A Generic Approach to Creating a National Soil Security Strategy

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil is a living and non‐renewable resource that underpins our very existence. It produces our food, filters our water, stores vast amounts of carbon, cycles essential nutrients, and sustains the rich tapestry of biodiversity on which our planet depends.

From Inner Capacities to Global Outcomes: Social–Emotional Capital as a Driver of SDG Performance

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite unprecedented global commitment to the 2030 Agenda, progress toward the sustainable development goals (SDGs) continues to lag in ways that structural, institutional, and resource‐based explanations do not fully explain. This study argues that a critical missing dimension is human: the psychological and relational capacities that enable

Ecology of declining populations of gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) in Indiana, USA Ecología de las poblaciones en declive de zorros grises (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) en Indiana, EE.UU.

Wildlife Monographs, EarlyView.
We estimated seasonal space use, cover selection, and resource selection; evaluated gene flow and potential genetic barriers; and assessed cause‐specific survival rates and reproduction of radiomarked gray foxes in Indiana, USA. Our results provide evidence that gray foxes in Indiana are an edge species with relatively large home ranges, relatively low

Weaknesses and Strengths of the Winkler Method in Designing Foundations

Journal for Research in Applied Sciences and Biotechnology
The reaction between the foundation and the soil below it is one of the important issues in civil engineering, and this factor has a significant effect on the behavior of the structure. In this article, first, the basic principles of this method and the simplifications introduced in it are introduced, and then the concept of the most important input ...

EXPERIMENTAL TEST OF THE MODEL OF A NONLOCAL ELASTIC FOUNDATION

Structural Mechanics of Engineering Constructions and Buildings, 2015
The design of bars, lying on an elastic base is fulfilled usually with help of a simple model of the base proposed by Winkler. This hypothesis was subjected to repeated critics. A new model of nonlocal elastic foundation was proposed by PotapovV.D .

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Sb2O2[CO3] with Stereochemically Active Lone Electron Pairs at Elevated Pressures

Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie, EarlyView.
Sb2O2[CO3] was synthesized at 20 GPa in a laser‐heated diamond cell and is an antimony oxocarbonate with stereochemically active lone electron pairs on the antimony atoms. Its crystal structure is characterized by the presence of [CO3]2–‐groups and by interconnected “Sb2O5‐units” which form a Sb–O‐network within the b,c lattice plane.

Closeness and disappointment in Jordanian friendships Proximité et déception en amitié en Jordanie

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Western folk models of friendship assume that friends like one another, implying mutually positive feelings. However, accounts of friendship from across times and places suggest that disappointment goes along with friendship as often as mutual affection.

CENSUS UNDERCOUNTS, DIGITAL DISPLACEMENT, AND DATA JUSTICE: What Social Scientists and Data Users Need to Know About the 2020 US Census

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Census data are foundational to democracy, research and equitable urban policy. In addition to supporting political reapportionment and redistricting, census data serve as the backbone of the federal statistical data system and are often considered the highest quality data—the ‘gold standard'—for scholarly and policy research.

VISUAL NEGOTIATIONS OF GENTRIFICATION IN TORONTO: Contestation, Politicization and Resistance through Urban Signage

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This article engages signage as a medium through which urban stakeholders negotiate the politics of housing redevelopment and gentrification in cities. Focusing on Toronto, we examine housing‐related signage in three neighbourhoods where social mix approaches to redevelopment have ushered in gentrification: Parkdale, Regent Park, and Moss Park.

Dynamical Analysis of Beams Lying on Discontinuous Linear Winkler Foundation

8th International Students Science Congress Proceedings Book
Analysing the dynamic behavior of beams lying on a discontinuous linear Winkler foundation involves considering the interaction between the beam and the supporting foundation. The Winkler foundation is a simplified model that represents the soil or support underneath the beam as a series of linear springs. When the foundation is discontinuous, it means
