Resistance of Icelandic lake ecosystems to two centuries of agricultural pressures despite growing instability

Abstract In the early nineteenth century, Iceland entered the global market, which caused a large expansion and modernisation of agricultural practices, including rising livestock numbers, higher crop density and the introduction of artificial fertilizers and pesticides. However,...

Mapping the nuclear environments of extreme coronal line emitting galaxies

Abstract Extreme coronal line emitters (ECLEs) are a rare class of galactic nuclei exhibiting unusually strong high-ionisation forbidden emission lines, and several ECLEs have been linked to tidal disruption events (TDEs). In this work, we compile and analyse optical spectra of 3...

Preliminary design and energy assessment of an overtopping breakwater for supporting port electrification

The decarbonisation of ports requires the deployment of renewable energy technologies that can be integrated within existing maritime infrastructure while operating reliably under highly variable environmental conditions. In this study, a preliminary model-based energy assessment...

Posterior samples of BGL coefficients for $B \to D^\ast \ell\bar\nu_\ell$ form factors

This dataset contains posterior samples of BGL coefficients which parameterise the $B \to D^\ast$ hadronic form factors, generated as part of the analysis for the paper " Angular Analysis of $B \to D^\ast \ell\bar\nu_\ell$ from Lattice and Experiment: $|V_{cb}|$ and New Physics C...

Identifying factors that underpin human-machine teamwork for joint crewed-uncrewed aerial vehicle operations: application of the grounded theory approach

Crewed-uncrewed aerial vehicle operations are being viewed as a novel concept of operations that could respond to increasing adversarial threats. Its realisation vastly depends on the partnership between human operators and advanced machine agents. This implicates the criticality...

Structural dynamics during the three-ion Coulomb explosion of highly charged CS2 in intense soft x-ray pulses

Using intense femtosecond soft x-ray pulses above the sulfur 2p edge produced by the Free-electron LASer in Hamburg (FLASH), we investigate the multiple ionization and fragmentation dynamics of CS2. We focus on the three-ion fragmentation pathways of CS2 polycations with total ch...

Cortical Bipolarity Underlies Microtubule-Dependent Bidirectional Gliding in the Deep-Branching Apicomplexan Polyrhabdina pygospionis (Gregarinassina)

Manuscript in preparation — 30 August 2026 This is a work-in-progress manuscript prepared within Project No. 09I03-03-V04-00162, funded by the EU NextGenerationEU through the Recovery and Resilience Plan for Slovakia. This version is publicly deposited to document the current sta...

West Antarctic subglacial geology distinguished by Pb isotopes and Rb–Sr ages in ice-rafted feldspars

Provenance data from sediment delivered to the marine environment by icebergs can trace past ice sheet dynamics and help constrain the ice sheet models used in sea level projections. This approach requires an interpretative framework, but in Antarctica, blanketing ice sheets hind...

Tracking Variability in Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Riverine Inputs to the Iberian Margin Over the Last 250 kyr

Abstract The Iberian Margin provides an exceptional archive of climate variability due to its high sedimentation rates. However, uncertainties persist regarding the provenance of terrigenous detrital sediments on the Iberian Margin, and the climate‐driven changes in their source...

Interventions to reduce diabetes-related distress among adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes: protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis

Diabetes distress (DD) refers to the emotional and psychological burden experienced by individuals living with diabetes. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have investigated the efficacy of interventions on DD among adults with type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes. We aimed to sys...

Anticipating health and care trajectories from routinely collected social care records

Abstract Predictive modelling in healthcare has advanced rapidly, yet social care systems, despite their central role in supporting vulnerable populations, remain underexplored in this domain. In this study, we apply machine learning to a large, pseudonymised dataset of social ca...

Unraveling single-molecule reactions via multiplexed in-situ DNA sequencing

Abstract DNA sequence regulates complex reactions and protein-DNA interactions, yet sequence effects remain poorly understood due to the lack of direct, high-throughput approaches to study sequence-dependence at the single-molecule level. Here, we introduce Single-molecule Phenot...

A critical (and) realist(ic) examination of psychology students’ perspectives on engaging with curriculum decolonisation initiatives

Higher education institutions globally are trying to decolonise their curricula, aiming to make them more inclusive and representative. Some departments are also seeking to redress the colonial structures engrained within higher education. Students are central to this work. Howev...

Estimating the environmental impact of an HPC job – tools and challenges

Researchers and research funders are increasingly interested in understanding the environmental impacts of computational research, including impacts through both energy-intensive computations and the production and disposal of specialised computing hardware. However, these impact...

Exploring the psychosocial needs and nutritional status of older adults with alcohol use disorder: a mixed-methods study (The OLA Study)

Abstract Background Alcohol-related hospital admissions are rising in England, particularly among individuals aged 65 and over. While alcohol intake and nutritional status are important factors in health outcomes, they are often overlooked. Loneliness, also common in this age gro...

The use of Galleria mellonella to study microbial interactions, immune responses, and substrate interactions

Interbacterial interactions are diverse and complex and often dependent on the given niche these bacteria inhabit; therefore, it is often necessary to validate in vitro findings in vivo. Multiple mammalian in vivo models have been established for this purpose, from mice to larger...

Holographic is Hamiltonian, relatively

Abstract We show that a relative holographic energy coincides with the relative Hamiltonian energy.

On the simplicity of de Sitter correlators

A bstract Motivated by recent evidence that equal-time correlators can be simpler than the corresponding wavefunction coefficients, we study de Sitter correlators in conformally coupled ϕ 3 theory directly. By inverting the momentum-space dressing rules, we derive a time integral...

The Activity of Antimicrobial Peptides (AMPs) Identified Via an Integrated in Silico and Pilot in Vitro Screening Approach Towards ESKAPE Pathogens

Abstract Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), driven largely by ESKAPE(E) pathogens, represents a critical global health challenge. The increasing prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria and the declining effectiveness of conventional antibiotics have created an urgent need f...

The diagnosis and management of primary mediastinal B‐cell lymphoma: A British Society for Haematology guideline

Summary Primary mediastinal B‐cell lymphoma (PMBCL) is a distinct clinicopathological entity within the spectrum of aggressive B‐cell lymphomas, characterised by unique clinical, immunophenotypic and molecular features. Since publication of the 2019 British Society for Haematolog...
