Unlocking Iridium Chemical Space for Antibiotic Discovery through One-Pot Combinatorial Synthesis in a Direct-to-Biology Approach

Abstract Antibacterial resistance continues to drive the need for exploring novel chemical spaces beyond conventional organic scaffolds. Metal-based compounds have emerged as a promising class of antibiotic candidates, demonstrating high hit rates against priority bacterial patho...

Chimpanzee food calls provide information about the value and type of food: a playback study

Abstract Functionally referential signals are taxonomically widespread but vary greatly in the specificity of information they convey to receivers. Chimpanzee food calls indicate the relative preference value of the eliciting food in a way that is intelligible to receivers, but w...

Quantifying care provided to children and young people with cancer who die: Estimating the costs and key determining factors of NHS secondary care in England

Background Little is known about hospital use, costs, and factors associated with higher costs in end-of-life care for children and young people with cancer who die. Methods This is a retrospective death-outcome defined cohort study. It included 4,247 children and young people ag...

Trapped in time: the problem of crip time in the workplace for chronically ill and disabled people

In this paper, the relationship between the meaning of time and employment from perspective of Black disabled people with an invisible disability is examined. The qualitative study was co-produced with people living with sickle cell. Two focus group discussions and forty-seven in...

Language proficiency drives listening-related fatigue in those who communicate in English as their second language

Abstract Individuals who listen to speech in their second language (‘L2 listeners’) are disproportionately impacted by adverse acoustic conditions; a phenomenon coined the ‘non-native speech-in-noise disadvantage’. Evidence also suggests that L2 listening taxes cognitive resource...

European ash pangenome reveals widespread structural variation and genetic basis of low ash dieback susceptibility

Abstract European Ash ( Fraxinus excelsior ) is a keystone tree species, whose populations are being decimated by ash dieback disease (ADB) – better characterisation of genetic variants associated with low susceptibility to the disease is needed. Here, we develop a F. excelsior p...

Sliding-window training on readout layer enhances liquid state machines for temporal prediction

Abstract Temporal prediction is essential in scientific and engineering problems, particularly for low-power online inference. Reservoir computing is attractive because a fixed recurrent system maps inputs into a high-dimensional state decoded by a simple readout. Liquid state ma...

Care and services for children with cerebral visual impairment – barriers, facilitators and experiences: a mixed-methods systematic review

PURPOSE: To examine the experiences of patients and/or caregivers of care/services for children with cerebral visual impairment (CVI), as well as the barriers and facilitators to access and delivery of care/services for children with CVI. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A systematic revie...

International Protocol for the Study of Amorphous Charred Objects in Archaeology (IPSACO 1.0)

Abstract Archaeobotanists around the world increasingly recognise that, alongside commonly studied materials such as seeds, fruits, wood charcoal, and chaff, archaeobotanical samples also contain fragments of carbonised organic (and sometimes inorganic) matter that vary in shape...

Multiscale model of advanced recording system for enhancement of HAMR performance by FePt-based ECC media

Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR) is a novel high-density magnetic recording technology that leverages thermal assistance during the writing process to achieve ultrahigh areal densities beyond 4 Tb/in². Optimizing both the writing process and the magnetic medium properties...

Introducing public management and global sporting mega-events: public value, ecosystems, learning and temporality

We are delighted to introduce this Special Issue which collects authors and studies from around the world; qualitative and quantitative, current, historic, and longitudinal. Each paper contributes ...

Coupled Proca theories: Green-hyperbolicity, quantization and applications to polarization measurement

The Proca field describes a massive relativistic spin-1 particle and was originally formulated in Minkowski spacetime. Here we consider a variety of generalizations in globally hyperbolic spacetimes, including couplings between a number of Proca fields via a mass-matrix, the char...

Differential detection of tau aggregation species using a small molecule probe for cell-based drug screening

Tau aggregation into polymorphic species, including oligomers, fibrils, and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), is central to the pathology of Alzheimer’s disease and related tauopathies. As an intrinsically disordered protein, tau undergoes liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), a m...

A deliberately buried canid is not necessarily a dog

Canid interment, either alone or as part of a human burial, is a global phenomenon that has been documented over the last 15,000 years. In addition, burials have been used extensively to support the emergence of dog domestication in human societies based on the presumption that a...

Thallus growth stage affects community-wide capacity for carbon metabolism in the alpine heath lichen Ochrolechia frigida

Fungi are obligate heterotrophs and possess a diverse suite of molecular tools for accessing and processing exogenous carbon. In lichenized fungi, the transfer of photosynthate from photobiont to mycobiont is central to carbohydrate economy; however, major differences in total ca...

Deliberate prehistoric sourcing of the Devil's Arrows, Britain's tallest stone row

Abstract How prehistoric societies selected and transported megaliths remains poorly understood because the geological sources of many monuments are unresolved. The approximately 7 m tall and 25-tonne Devil's Arrows are Britain's tallest surviving standing stone alignment, yet th...

The Fortitude Linter: Don't Blame your Tools; Build Them

Research Software Engineers are prolific users of software development tools: testing libraries, documentation generators, linters, formatters, debuggers, continuous integration workflows, and so on. They’re a powerful force multiplier, and have an outsized impact on the quality...
