Seasonal Variation in Home Range Sizes and Daily Distance to Ephemeral Surface Water for African Savannah Elephant (Loxodonta africana) in Eastern Okavango Panhandle, Northern Bots... by Anastacia A. Makati, Anna Songhurst, Emily Bennitt, Gaseitsiwe S. Masunga, Graham McCulloch, Amanda Stronza, Tiroyaone A. Matsika, Frank D. Eckardt

“…We hypothesized that (i) elephant home ranges would be larger in the wet than in the dry season (because critical resources tend to be less localized in the wet than in the dry season), (ii) the daily distance of the elephants to the nearest ephemeral surface water sources would be larger in the dry than in the wet season because many of the ephemeral water sources would be dry in the dry season and elephants would start moving towards permanent water sources such as rivers, and lastly (iii) that the differences in elephant home ranges and daily distance to water would differ between sexes. …”

Multilevel Structural Characteristics of Jinshajiang Main Fault and Its Influence on Engineering by Hui Zhou, Yihuan Shen, Yong Zhu, Gang Han, Chuanqing Zhang, Ning Zhang

“…The overall displacement mode of multilevel structural fault is S-shaped distribution, and the secondary weak structure will affect the displacement distribution pattern and have the possibility of sliding when the fault moves. Therefore, the secondary weak structure section in the tunnel should be a priority for prevention and control when designing tunnels through active faults. …”

Multi-scenario analysis of green water resource efficiency under carbon emission constraints in the Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration, China: A system dynamics approach by Keyao Yu, Zhigang Li

“…The study finds that: (1) GWRE in the CCUA from 2005 to 2021 has shown a fluctuating upward trend, with the kernel density curve shifting from “short and wide” to “tall and narrow” and the peak moving to the right, indicating a gradual narrowing of GWRE disparities. (2) Model run tests and historical tests on the GWRE system demonstrate that the relative errors between the model’s predictions and actual outcomes are within 5%, confirming the model’s stability and effectiveness. (3) The green innovation and comprehensive development scenarios yield the best outcomes in terms of GWRE and carbon emission control from 2022 to 2035, reflecting the coordinated development of the economy, environment, and society. …”

Assessing the Air Quality Impact of Train Operation at Tokyo Metro Shibuya Station from Portable Sensor Data by Deepanshu Agarwal, Xuan Truong Trinh, Wataru Takeuchi

“…These findings suggest that ventilation efficiency plays a more significant role than elevation in vertical PM variation, while horizontal differences are likely influenced by piston effects from moving trains. This study underscores the risk of exposure to unsafe PM2.5 levels in underground platforms, particularly at platform extremities, highlighting the need for improved ventilation strategies to enhance air quality in subway environments.…”
