Unlocking the potential of aquatic animal telemetry research to advance management and conservation: Barriers and a blueprint for Great Britain and Ireland

Aquatic animal telemetry research can provide important knowledge for how populations, anthropogenic pressures and, indeed, entire ecosystems are managed. However, the true scale, extent and impact in Britain and Ireland is poorly understood. We surveyed 53 researchers about past...

Influence of bone-specific material properties on finite element modelling of the skull

Abstract The material properties of bone in the skull are known to be heterogeneous and orthotropic, although datasets detailing these properties on a species level are limited. Therefore, computational modelling frequently uses homogeneous, isotropic material properties to analy...

Widespread hybridization in sympatric populations of allis shad Alosa alosa (L.1758) and twaite shad Alosa fallax (Lacépède 1803): A transnational perspective for conservation and management

Abstract The dynamics of hybridization between co‐occurring species in environments that have been modified by anthropogenic activities are important for generating new understandings of how species respond to disturbance and to support conservation management. Accordingly, the p...

Can AI Solve Eco-Economic Challenges? Simulating the Impact of AI Systems on Seasonality Using Agent-Based Modelling

Abstract As visitors increasingly rely on AI-enabled apps and recommender systems, AI is becoming an important mediator of tourism choice. Tourism decision-making is cognitively demanding, and visitors rarely evaluate all available destinations, attractions, travel periods, and s...

Impact of Hurricane Melissa on neurosurgery care in Jamaica: implications for disaster preparedness

BACKGROUND: Natural disasters, including hurricanes, are becoming increasingly severe as a result of climate change, and can have a devastating impact on healthcare systems. In October 2025, a category five hurricane struck Jamaica and caused extensive damage throughout the islan...

Long-term outcomes of indeterminate breast (B3) lesions managed with vacuum-assisted excision

Abstract Background UK guidelines for indeterminate (B3) breast lesions recommend vacuum-assisted excision (VAE) over diagnostic surgery. However, there is little long-term follow-up published post VAE management. This study evaluates immediate and long-term outcomes of women wit...

An Explainable Deep Learning Framework for Musculoskeletal Abnormality Detection

Accurate detection of musculoskeletal abnormalities from radiographs remains challenging because abnormal findings can be subtle and radiographic appearance may vary considerably across examinations. This study aimed to develop and systematically evaluate a deep learning framewor...

Optically Tuneable Memristors Based on Au NP–PDR1A Nanocomposites Probed by Impedance Spectroscopy

ABSTRACT Optical memristors are promising building blocks for neuromorphic vision systems because they can emulate retina‐like adaptive signal processing. However, the development of practical devices remains limited by an incomplete understanding of the coupled electrical–optica...

Stall mitigation and performance enhancement in axial-flow air turbines using a hybrid passive–active flow control strategy

Harvesting maximum energy from axial turbines remains a significant challenge, particularly under stall conditions. Wells turbine, commonly used as self-rectifying axial turbine in wave energy conversion (WEC) systems, is limited by a narrow operating range, low power output, and...

Generalized Nonlinear Bayesian Pulsar Timing with ENTERPRISE

Abstract We use the Bayesian methods in the ENTERPRISE package to examine the fully general parameterization of pulsar timing models in tandem with noise. We investigate four pulsars, PSRs J1600–3053, J2043+1711, J0740+6620, and J1640+2224, through the lens of Bayesian timing. We...

Prisoner perceptions of safety across custodial environments

Purpose Maintaining safety in prisons remains an integral priority for authorities as well as being conducive to rehabilitation. However, safety is both an objective and subjective construct. Official data measure tangible, recordable and often more extreme instances of unsafety....

Neural Network‐Based Runtime Monitoring and Control for Unknown Nonlinear Systems

ABSTRACT Real‐time system monitoring and stabilization become especially challenging when the system dynamics are unknown. This article introduces a novel design for monitoring and stabilizing unknown nonlinear systems with measurement noise. The design utilizes a generic modelli...

TH1177, Clemastine, and Benzhydryl Derivatives Act as Novel Extracellular Blockers of ORAI Channels

ORAI channels are store-operated Ca2+ channels, which play important roles in physiology and pathophysiology. ORAI channel modulators are useful for developing pharmacological interventions. Here, we aimed to investigate the benzhydryl-derived analogues as novel ORAI channel bloc...

Genetic and Molecular Determinants of Cancer Therapy-Related Cardiovascular Toxicity

Cancer therapy-related cardiovascular toxicity (CTR-CVT) is an umbrella term for myocardial, vascular, electrical, and inflammatory complications of cytotoxic, targeted, immune, and radiation-based therapies. Cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) is used here more na...

Spatial learning: the birds and the bees do it differently

Western honey bees, Apis mellifera , and rufous hummingbirds, Selasphorus rufus , are both central-place nectar foragers that navigate between patches of flowers. However, little is known about how these very different animals solve the same task. Their shared foraging ecology pr...

Longitudinal health-related quality of life after electrochemotherapy in elderly patients with cutaneous melanoma

The incidence of cutaneous melanoma (CM) is increasing among elderly patients, who often present with advanced disease, including cutaneous metastases. Electrochemotherapy (ECT) is a local ablative treatment that enhances chemotherapy uptake via electric pulses. Management in pat...

Galaxy luminosity functions from far-UV to submillimetre at z = 0 in the COLIBRE simulations

Abstract We present predictions from the colibre cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation for the present-day galaxy luminosity functions (LFs) at wavelengths ranging from the far-ultraviolet (FUV) to the submillimetre. The simulations are post-processed with t...

“We don’t get asked”: including people with workforce experience as public contributors in a workforce-related study about homecare work towards the end-of-life

Abstract Background Homecare workers are an undervalued but essential part of the health and care workforce in England, providing vital end-of-life care without adequate training or support. Through the SUPPORTED study we explored the experiences, training and support needs of ho...

Neurosymbolic Large Language Models: A Survey of Symbolic Integration, Reasoning and Explainability

Abstract LLMs have demonstrated strong language-learning and human-like response-generation capabilities, and they are increasingly used to support decision-making in high-risk sectors. However, their internal decision processes remain difficult to interpret, and their responses...

Are Prisoners Getting the Right Education? Exploring Teaching and Learning of Functional Skills Mathematics and English in England and Wales

This paper addresses education in adult prisons for learners age 18 and over. Global concerns exist about the quality of education in prisons. Studies highlight a range of issues including weak curricula, lack of access to technology-enabled learning, lack of learner engagement a...
