Similar pre-eruptive conditions behind contrasting explosive and effusive trachytic eruptions at Montagnone (Ischia volcano, Italy)

Abstract Most volcanoes on Earth display a range of eruptive styles, varying between effusive and explosive activity. Understanding the factors controlling these transitions is critical for volcanic hazard assessment but remains debated. While both pre-eruptive storage conditions...

Historical, clinical and nasal endoscopic findings in 1600 cases of equine sinonasal disease and associations with case outcome

Abstract Background No large study has described the signalment, pre‐referral management or clinical and nasal endoscopic findings in equine sinonasal disease. Objectives To explore associations between case outcome and signalment, pre‐referral treatments, clinical and nasal endo...

Not your average podcaster: turn-taking timings and conversational role behavior in AI-generated dialogues

Abstract What makes artificially generated podcasts feel natural, and what are their current limitations? In this exploratory study, we compare podcasts generated by Google’s NotebookLM Audio Overview feature with naturally produced podcasts to explore two key ingredients of huma...

Perspectives on the modification of electrodes by polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) for electroanalysis

Extreme molecular rigidity in the polymer backbone introduces new properties in polymer films or coatings in contact with solution, electrodes, and embedded catalysts. Polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) with highly rigid molecular structures have initially emerged as gas...

Thermophysiological and perceptual responses to exercise heat stress in people with cystic fibrosis on Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor

Abstract The objective of this study was to investigate thermophysiological and perceptual responses to exercise heat stress in people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) on Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor (ETI) versus healthy controls, and to explore their lived experiences of heat str...

Approximate additivity in the solvent-mediated potential of mean force for ultrasoft particle systems

Recently, an approximate additivity principle has been successfully applied to molecular chemical potentials in ultrasoft particle systems [Hendrikse et al., Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 27, 1554 (2025)]. We articulate this additivity principle as one of two Ansätze and apply these to...

A pathway towards decentralized studies of radioactive post-lead elements and their applications in beyond standard model physics

Abstract Molecules have proven to be sensitive tools for studying physics beyond the Standard Model, with heavy and deformed nuclei offering decisive sensitivity to parity- and time-reversal-violating effects. However, almost all elements beyond lead, occupying the 6p to 5f atomi...

From questions to impact in spinal muscular atrophy - identifying community-driven research priorities through a multi-stakeholder European initiative

Abstract Background Advances in medicines have transformed the outlook for people living with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), yet many needs remain unmet. As the scientific and clinical environment evolves, aligning research priorities with the lived experience of patients is incr...

On the Computation of Equilibria in Discrete First-Price Auctions

Abstract. We study the computational complexity of computing Bayes–Nash equilibria in first-price auctions with discrete value distributions and discrete bidding space under general subjective beliefs. It is known that such auctions do not always have pure equilibria. In this pap...

Dissecting Maize Aerial Meristems

The plant kingdom displays a wide array of shapes, and this morphology is tightly linked to function and productivity. For example, leaf size, shape, and arrangement around the stem define canopy architecture, influencing light interception and photosynthetic capacity. Understand...

Rapid increase of climate extremes reveals new areas of concern in Amazonia

Abstract Amazonia is highly sensitive to climate extremes, yet we lack an Amazon-wide assessment that examines the spatial-temporal changes in these extreme conditions. We address this within seasons and across the hydrological year, using a quantiles approach that integrates the...

A Community-Owned Database Mapping dRTP Roles, Skills, and Training

Poster presented at the 10th Research Software Engineering Conference (RSECon26) in Sheffield, UK, 9-11 September, 2026. Abstract As is typical of all digital Research Technical Professionals (dRTPs), Research Software Engineer is a role that encompasses a wide variety of potenti...

Insiders and Outsiders: The Historiography of Immigration in France

Abstract The history of immigration has become a dynamic subfield of French history since the 1970s. We examine its origins in both academic and activist milieus, and we consider its development in relation to some of the most important civic debates that have animated the French...

Poverty alleviation for people with severe mental health conditions in South Africa: A qualitative study

People with severe mental health conditions (SMHC) and caregivers in South Africa often experience poverty. The PRIZE trial found that recovery groups were acceptable, feasible and potentially effective in reducing relapse. Addressing economic needs was identified as a means to i...

Critical gaps remain in carbon accounting at mine sites

Accurately accounting for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at mine sites is essential in order to understand how to mitigate these emissions, particularly since substantial increases in the productio...

Association for Clinical Genomic Science (ACGS) Best Practice Guidelines for Variant Classification in Rare Disease

Diagnosed causes of sinonasal disease in 1600 horses and associations with clinical signs, computed tomographic findings and case outcome

BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of equine sinonasal disorders has been greatly enhanced by using computed tomographic (CT) imaging. OBJECTIVES: To explore associations between specific diagnoses and clinical and CT findings and between specific diagnoses and case outcome in equine sino...

Finding the thin ice before you fall through: identifying the critical software you rely on

Do you know what software you use? Do you know what software you rely on? Do you know what you would do if you couldn’t use it any more? Research Software Engineers and digital Research Technical Professionals rely on software everyday. That software relies on other software, cre...

Revised dust content and grain size of exposed water ice at the North Pole of Mars

Abstract Near the north pole of Mars, dusty water ice is exposed at the surface within the residual polar cap and in isolated high-latitude deposits. Its optical properties contain information about surface processes and climate evolution. However, the physical properties of mart...
