Southern Portugal hydroclimate of the last millennium from near‐annually resolved speleothem records

ABSTRACT Hydroclimate in Portugal is influenced by the North Atlantic subtropical high‐pressure system (the Azores High) and by internal climate modes, most prominently the North Atlantic Oscillation, which may shift in position and/or intensity due to anthropogenic climate chang...

The evolution of male courtship discrimination is driven by sympatry and age-dependent pheromones between Drosophila athabasca species complex and its congeners

Our understanding of how males evolve courtship discrimination and the traits they use for species identification is restricted to a few model systems. Theory predicts that males between more sympatric species should evolve stronger courtship discrimination and target female trai...

Robustness of CSC Sasaki existence under the join operation

The main purpose of this work is to explore the existence of constant scalar curvature Sasaki metrics in the Sasaki cone of the join of two regular Sasaki manifolds, M 1 and M 2 . Furthermore, we consider some cases of continuous families of extremal Sasaki twins.

Lattice Boltzmann Modeling of Electro‐Thermo‐Convection in Dielectric Liquids With Electric Conduction

ABSTRACT This paper develops a two‐relaxation‐time lattice Boltzmann method (TRT‐LBM) framework for simulating electro‐thermo‐convection (ETC) driven by conduction‐based charge transport in a two‐dimensional sidewall‐heated square cavity. The coupled flow, temperature, and charge...

Determinants of Contracts and Wages in the Women’s National Basketball Association

Compensation in the WNBA reflects both player performance and institutional arrangements. Exploring data on 263 newly signed contracts from 2017 to 2024, this study investigates determinants of wages and contract length. Regression results indicate a persistent wage increase foll...
