Perceived costs as drivers of wildlife management preferences in rural Tanzanian communities
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Effectively managing human–wildlife interactions is crucial for fostering coexistence on shared landscapes. Management options are most effective when aligned with the preferences of people directly affected by wildlife, yet little is known about how socioecological factors influence these preferences.

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.By assembling cortical‐hypothalamic circuits, we show that cortical input protects hypothalamic neurons from fatty acid‐induced damage, which activates PGC1α to boost mitochondrial function. This reveals a cortico‐hypothalamic axis that defends against metabolic stress.

The Potential Impact of Increased Irrigation Water Tariffs in South Africa [PDF]
In South Africa, a water scarce country, conflict between water users is mounting, while there are few remaining bulk water augmentation options. Water demand management is thus increasingly taking centre stage in water management debates.

European Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.Abstract An oft‐overlooked aspect of Sartre’s concept of selfhood is his rejection of good faith and sincerity as normative ideals. We argue that Sartre’s paradoxical treatment of good faith – claiming both that it is a manifestation of bad faith and the antithesis of it – holds a key to understanding Sartre’s account of selfhood.

Analysis and Evaluation of Possibilities for the Use of Warm Mix Asphalt in Lithuania
The Baltic Journal of Road and Bridge Engineering, 2009 Production of hot mix asphalt (HMA) requires a lot of consumption of energy, exhaustion of CO2 and other environment unfriendly materials. The fumes of HMA are injurious for roadmen and asphalt plant workers.

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Investigated mutations in transthyretin (TTR) disrupt the F87‐centered hydrophobic core that stabilizes its tetrameric structure. The mild I107V mutation weakens inter‐chain packing, while H88R fully abolishes tetramer formation, yielding a monomeric, aggregation‐prone form. Structural, biophysical, and computational analyses reveal that both mutations

Evaluation of HMA and WMA RAP mixture using hydrogenated castor oil flakes
Journal of Road EngineeringIn this study, reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) used in different percentages in hot mix asphalt (HMA) and warm mix asphalt (WMA) were tested for moisture, fracture and rutting resistance adding hydrogenated castor oil flakes (HCOF) as rejuvenating agent.

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2012 A number of warm-mix asphalt (WMA) technologies are used to reduce the temperature at which the asphalt mixtures are produced and compacted, apparently without compromising the performance of the pavement. The main objective of this study is to determine
