Temporary carbon storage can mitigate slow-responding climate changes

Abstract Carbon removal and storage is central to many net-zero commitments, yet its durability, particularly for nature-based methods, is uncertain due to disturbance risks. Previous work shows that carbon storage-years (the time-integrated quantity of carbon storage) are propor...

A short note on differential equations and on Geometry

A short note on differential equations. We add some lines of interest about Some topics in Geometry.

Swiping into risk and reward: dating apps, digital leisure, and feminism in the uneven terrain of technological intimacy

Dating apps have become central to contemporary digital leisure, functioning as immersive environments where intimacy, pleasure, and safety are negotiated across digital and embodied contexts. Drawing on feminist theory, post-humanist perspectives, and narrative inquiry, this stu...

Nonlinear dynamic modeling and parameter identification of air springs in the ultra-low frequency range considering thermal hysteresis

The nonlinear dynamic performance of a constrained rolling-lobe air spring (CRLAS) is measured using a servo-controlled hydraulic test rig. Experimental results indicate that in the ultra-low frequency range (0.002–1 Hz), the dynamic stiffness increases sharply, while the loss an...

Peripheral Modernisms – Editor's Roundtable

Alys Moody and Stephen J. Ross are the editors of one of the most recent collection of modernist writings: Global Modernists on Modernism: An Anthology (Bloomsbury Academic, 2020). This collection features translations of works associated with modernism in Latin America, the Cari...

The Hotel as a Translation Site: Place and Non-place, Difference and Indifference

The hotel is a translation site, a place of accelerated language transactions. The Hotel Bristol in Vienna beloved of Joseph Roth, Cees Nooteboom’s Ritz in Barcelona, and Wes Anderson’s fictional Grand Budapest Hotel speak the language of community. By contrast, the Tokyo Park Hy...

A survey of actuarial climate indices: a new index for France and its insurance applications

Abstract Climate change is often defined as the long-term fluctuations in climate patterns affecting the planet. Among its observed effects are: increased average temperatures and higher frequency/severity of extreme weather events, such as heat waves, droughts, floods, or windst...

Checked-In Secret Detection: Strings Are All You Need

Hardcoded secrets in source code pose critical security vulnerabilities which can be easily exploited by malicious adversaries. Existing regex-based detection approaches suffer from fundamental limitations, as secrets often lack identifiable patterns, resulting in poor precision...

An Empirical Study of False Negatives and Positives of Static Code Analyzers From the Perspective of Historical Issues

Static code analyzers are widely used to help find program flaws. However, in practice the effectiveness and usability of such analyzers is affected by the problems of false negatives (FNs) and false positives (FPs). This paper aims to investigate the FNs and FPs of such analyzer...

The effects of blood flow restriction training during low intensity online resistance training with older adults

[Purpose] Blood flow restriction (BFR) training involves limiting blood flow to specific areas, enabling low-intensity exercise to mimic high-intensity workouts. This study explored the effectiveness of combining BFR with online exercise classes to improve strength and functional...

Progress in assessing wind loads on roof-mounted solar panels: Research and standards

This paper provides a comprehensive review of existing literature and current wind code and standard provisions related to wind effects on roof-mounted photovoltaic systems, with particular emphasis on tilted PV arrays installed on flat or nearly flat roofs, which form the basis...

Integrating foresight and resilience strategies for a sustainable blue economy

Climate change, biodiversity loss and socio-economic transformation are placing growing pressure on the sustainable development of the blue economy and on the marine and coastal systems that support it. Although resilience has become a central concept for addressing these pressur...

Moral Testimony, Moral Understanding, and “Rational” Prejudiced Beliefs

Abstract Moral deference strikes many as problematic. Some explain this problem by pointing to understanding: accepting a moral proposition on the basis of testimony is problematic because it’s in tension with understanding that proposition, and understanding moral propositions i...

Effects of hormonal contraceptives on spatial navigation in gonadally intact female rats

Rats can either use place memory, response memory or rely on a single cue to navigate their environment. Which navigation strategy a female rat is biased towards is influenced by circulating levels of ovarian hormones. Hormonal contraceptive use is typically associated with chang...
