Effective Pro-environmental Communication: Message Framing and Context Congruency Effect (2023)
Journal Article
Song, J., Lin, Z., & Zheng, C. (in press). Effective Pro-environmental Communication: Message Framing and Context Congruency Effect. Journal of Travel Research,

This research investigates the effectiveness of two types of message framing in pro-environmental communication: prescriptive versus proscriptive appeals in daily and tourism contexts. Two experimental studies were conducted. Study 1a focused on natu... Read More about Effective Pro-environmental Communication: Message Framing and Context Congruency Effect.

The Influence of Family Firm Succession on Financialisaton: Evidence from China (2023)
Journal Article
Zhang, L., Baranchenko, Y., Lin, Z., & Ren, L. (in press). The Influence of Family Firm Succession on Financialisaton: Evidence from China. International Journal of Entrepreneurial Behavior & Research,

Purpose – This study seeks to fill a gap in the literature by examining the role of family firm succession in shaping the firm’s approach to financialisaton, which has received limited attention in previous research. In addition, the study explores t... Read More about The Influence of Family Firm Succession on Financialisaton: Evidence from China.

Reconstructing cardiac electrical excitations from optical mapping recordings (2023)
Journal Article
Marcotte, C. D., Hoffman, M. J., Fenton, F. H., & Cherry, E. M. (2023). Reconstructing cardiac electrical excitations from optical mapping recordings. Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science, 33(9), Article 093141. https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0156314

The reconstruction of electrical excitation patterns through the unobserved depth of the tissue is essential to realizing the potential of computational models in cardiac medicine. We have utilized experimental optical-mapping recordings of cardiac e... Read More about Reconstructing cardiac electrical excitations from optical mapping recordings.

Elemental models of primate nursing and weaning revisited (2022)
Journal Article
Smith, T. M., Arora, M., Bharatiya, M., Dirks, W., & Austin, C. (2023). Elemental models of primate nursing and weaning revisited. American Journal of Biological Anthropology, 180(1), 216-223. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.24655

Objectives Intra-tooth patterns of trace elements barium (Ba) and strontium (Sr) have been used to infer human and nonhuman primate nursing histories, including australopithecine and Neanderthal juveniles. Here, we contrast the two elemental models... Read More about Elemental models of primate nursing and weaning revisited.
