A compilation of global bio-optical in situ data for ocean-colour satellite applications – version four

Abstract. A global in situ dataset for validation of satellite products from the ESA Ocean Colour Climate Change Initiative (OC-CCI) is presented. This version of the compilation, with data starting in 1996, extends to 2025, which is important for the validation of recent algorit...

Walk Based Laplacians for Modeling Diffusion on Complex Networks

Abstract We develop a novel framework for modeling diffusion on complex networks by constructing Laplacian-like operators based on walks around a graph. Our approach introduces a parametric family of walk-based Laplacians that naturally incorporate memory effects by excluding or...

Antimicrobial peptides for tuberculosis in a post-antibiotic era: from in vitro promise to therapeutic potential

Abstract Tuberculosis remains the leading cause of death from a single infectious pathogen, driven by prolonged treatment regimens and escalating drug resistance. Antimicrobial peptides represent a promising alternative therapeutic class with diverse mechanisms and limited resist...

Cultural capital and the social origin pay gap in the UK: Do you like the opera?

A wealth of qualitative literature on the ‘class ceiling’ highlights how cultural capital plays a role in the social origin pay gap. However, no study has quantitatively examined this association. This paper uses data from Understanding Society, measuring cultural capital via res...

A Unified Multi-Task Vision Transformer for Interpretable Ovarian Tumour Analysis

Ovarian cancer remains a leading cause of gynaecological cancer mortality, and ultrasound-based deep learning systems for its diagnosis are typically built as separate post hoc processes for classification, segmentation, and interpretability, which introduces workflow inefficienc...

Knowledge, attitude, and practice of antifungal resistance and stewardship among pharmacy students in Zambia: a cross-sectional study to inform antifungal stewardship programs

Background Antifungal resistance (AFR) is a growing global health threat, particularly in low- and middle-income countries such as Zambia, where antifungals are often accessed without prescription. Antifungal stewardship (AFS) programs aim to optimise antifungal use, yet limited...

Ultra-compact plasma photocathode in a hybrid wakefield accelerator

Abstract Plasma-based particle accelerators, realized by driving plasma waves with either an intense laser pulse or particle beam, offer accelerating fields orders of magnitude higher than conventional accelerators. This enables sources of highly relativistic electron beams with...

Global experiences, intelligent technologies: the development of an AI-enabled customer experience (AICX) scale

Purpose This study introduces artificial intelligence–enabled customer experience (AICX) conceptualised as distinct, multidimensional form of customer experience arising from interactions with AI-enabled technologies and develops and validates a novel scale to measure the phenome...

Are things getting better in inclusive education? Presuming competence and disrupting comfortable assumptions through family narratives

This article examines whether things are ‘getting better’ for disabled children and families in education through the lens of presuming competence. Using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), we analysed in-depth interviews with 12 families in Australia. We situate thes...

An Empirically Grounded Framework for Documenting Digital Cultural Heritage Use/Reuse

Over several decades, digital cultural heritage has been increasingly reused across research, education, creative practice and through public community engagement. However, these activities remain undescribed or inconsistently documented and difficult to compare. Organisations ty...

Comparative Life Cycle Assessment of Conventional Type IV and Additively Manufactured Hydrogen Pressure Vessel

The transportation sector is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, driving the need for low-carbon energy solutions. Hydrogen is increasingly recognised as a promising option for decarbonising heavy-duty and long-distance transport; however, hydrogen storage sys...

Does plastic waste present an infection hazard? Current evidence, surveillance challenges and research priorities

Abstract Unmanaged plastic waste is widespread in settings with limited waste collection, yet its contribution to infectious disease risk remains poorly understood. In this review, we synthesise current evidence on the human health implications of plastic waste, with a specific f...

Influenceof Chalcogen Bonding on Lattice Dynamicsin Isostructural Molecular Solids

Abstract Solid-state lattice dynamics can significantly impact the expression of material properties in crystalline molecular materials, complicating crystal engineering efforts that approach materials design from a primarily static structural picture. While noncovalent interacti...

Feasible geological carbon dioxide storage projections require updated cost and geological potential assumptions

Integrated Assessment Models project large-scale deployment of carbon dioxide geological storage across many climate change mitigation pathways. However, the feasibility of these projections - particularly concerning near-term scale-up rates - has been criticised. Here, we examin...
