The Israel – Iran intelligence contest exemplifies hybrid conflict conducted below the threshold of open war. This study examines Israel’s penetration of Iran’s intelligence and security apparatus and the Islamic Republic’s counterintelligence (CI) response using open-source material within a dual-lens framework. Lens 1 traces Israeli operations from early assassinations and cyber sabotage to the
Being publicly visible as an engaged employee persona has become an important asset in contemporary knowledge work. Social networking sites such as LinkedIn offerprofessionals new opportunities to present and perform the ideal worker identity to a broader audience. While engagement and the performance of the ideal worker persona have received attention across various research fields, often being a
Insufficient interfacial compatibility and inherent flammability of polymer matrices are two critical factors that limit the practical application of basalt fiber–reinforced polymer composites (BFRPs). In this study, an interfacial engineering strategy based on the in situ growth of nano-SiO2 is proposed. DOPO-functionalized linear and cage-like interfacial structures are then constructed on the b
Small angle neutron scattering and small angle X-ray scattering methods were used alongside droplet size analysis to determine the nanoscale effects of the addition of stearate salts of sodium, calcium and magnesium at the interface of a 30:70 oil: water emulsion. The dispersed phase consisted of hydrophobic dodecanoic acid: menthol deep eutectic solvent with up to 2.5 wt.% stearate salt. The cont
Photoionization of atoms by high-order harmonics in the presence of a laser may lead to quantum interference from which information about the photoionization dynamics or the light fields can be extracted. Traditionally, this interference arises from two-photon transitions involving the absorption of consecutive harmonics combined with the absorption and stimulated emission of a laser photon. In th
Research concerning digital engagement among older adults frequently frames technology use in terms of access deficiencies and skill gaps and emphasises the need for training and inclusion initiatives. Additional research underscores how self-efficacy, ageism, COVID-19 and the emergence of assistive technologies influence everyday adoption practices. This chapter builds upon these perspectives whi
Psychology in Sweden has its roots in the country’s cultural traditions and political emphasis on social equality. Formally founded at the start of the 20th century, psychology in Sweden currently focuses largely on applications to societal issues. The Swedish Psychological Association establishes ethical guidelines and provides professional development while also functioning as a trade union for
The demand for real-time pulse characterization is becoming increasingly relevant due to the development of high power lasers and a growing number of applications that require precise knowledge of every laser pulse. To meet this demand, a few different single-shot dispersion-scan (d-scan) implementations have emerged over the last decade. In single-shot d-scan, the required dispersion range, i.e.,
The authors note that Table S8 in the SI Appendix appeared incorrectly. The SI Appendix has been corrected online.
We describe factors to consider when establishing collaborative research projects with agricultural growers, issues that can arise in establishing these relationships, and key steps that researchers can take to improve collaborations and increase the likelihood of project success. We conclude that the most important features of successful collaborations between researchers and agricultural coopera
Scientific integrity and consensus rely on the peer review process, a defining feature of scientific discourse that subjects the literature forming the foundation of credible knowledge in a scientific field to rigorous scrutiny. However, there is surprisingly little training in graduate school on how to develop this essential skill [Zimmerman et al., 2011] or discussion of best practices to ensure
For the 1980-2003 period, we analyzed the relationship between crop yield and three climatic variables (minimum temperature, maximum temperature, and precipitation) for 12 major Californian crops: wine grapes, lettuce, almonds, strawberries, table grapes, hay, oranges, cotton, tomatoes, walnuts, avocados, and pistachios. The months and climatic variables of greatest importance to each crop were us
The magnitude of future climate change depends substantially on the greenhouse gas emission pathways we choose. Here we explore the implications of the highest and lowest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change emissions pathways for climate change and associated impacts in California. Based on climate projections from two state-of-the-art climate models with low and medium sensitivity (Parallel
We investigated carbon cycling and ecosystem characteristics among two prairie restoration treatments established in 1987 and adjacent cropland, all part of the Conservation Reserve Program in southwestern Wisconsin, USA. We hypothesized that different plant functional groups (cool-season C3 vs. warm-season C4 grasses) between the two prairie restoration treatments would lead to differences in soi
Most research on the agricultural impacts of climate change has focused on the major annual crops, yet perennial cropping systems are less adaptable and thus potentially more susceptible to damage. In regions where perennial crops are economically and culturally important, improved assessments of yield responses to future climate are needed to prioritize adaptation strategies. These impact assessm
We measured carbon (C) stocks and fluxes and vegetation phenology in the world's oldest prairie restoration (∼ 65 years) and an adjacent prairie remnant in southern Wisconsin from 2001-2004 to quantify structural and functional differences. While the species distributions and frequency differed, the number of species measured per 1m2 were not significantly different (15.8 ± 4.4 and 14.1 ± 2.1 for
The wine industry is increasingly recognized as especially vulnerable to climate change due to the climate sensitivity of both winegrape yields and quality, making it an important model system for the agricultural impacts of global changes. However, agricultural production is strongly influenced by the management decisions of growers, including their practices to modify the microclimate experience
Whether internationalization is driven by student mobility or the assumption that English-medium instruction and the presence of international students are the only alternatives to travel, Internationalization of the Curriculum at Home (IoCaH) offers a more inclusive framework. By prioritizing the purposeful reform of the formal curriculum for all, IoCaH ensures that global education benefits the
