From Model to Scenario Engine: A Reproducible ABM for UK Net Zero Analysis

Agent-based modelling (ABMs) has increasingly been used to study socio-economic transitions. These computational models feature heterogeneous agents, decision-making, and feedback effects that are difficult to capture in aggregate models. Yet, these features that make ABMs valuab...

The Denominator of Freedom: Local Absoluteness and the Second Amendment

Debates over freedom and control commonly place the two values on a single line and ask which should be greater. This approach, however, treats the scope within which a rule applies and the strength with which it operates inside that scope as the same variable. This paper propose...

Engineering ASPACE (www.aspace.ac.uk) : Lessons Learned in Research Software Engineering from climate change adaptation research to a decision-support tool.

ASPACE (Assisted Spatial Prioritisation Addressing Climate Effects) is a web-based decision support tool/platform developed to support climate-smart marine spatial planning through scenario based scientific analysis of ocean climate modelling projections, economic modelling and e...

Bipedalism as a Byproduct of Symbiotically Mediated Allometry

Human evolution is characterised by an unusually coherent suite of anatomical, physiological, neurological and life-history characteristics. Many defining features of the human lineage, including encephalisation, prolonged maturation and coordinated changes in skeletal proportion...

Chile-ED-Resp: A Curated and Reproducible Weekly Hospital Dataset for Respiratory Emergency-Demand Forecasting in Chile

Respiratory emergencies create recurrent seasonal pressure on hospital services, yet reproducible forecasting research is often hindered by the effort required to retrieve, interpret, harmonize, and document public administrative data. Chile-ED-Resp is a curated secondary dataset...

The Depths of Windows Virtualization (Part 2) — Memory Even the Kernel Cannot See: How VBS, HVCI, and Credential Guard Work (archived 2026-09-07)

Enabled by default on a clean install to compatible hardware, VBS uses the hypervisor and SLAT to isolate beyond the kernel. Covers VTLs, the Secure Kernel, HVCI, and Credential Guard. Archived version of https://comcomponent.com/en/blog/windows-virtualization-internals-vbs-hvci-...

The Depths of Windows Virtualization (Part 1) — Where Is Your Windows Actually Running? The Hypervisor and Partitions (archived 2026-09-07)

When you enable Hyper-V, the host Windows itself runs as the root partition on top of the hypervisor. This article explains the foundations of virtualization, from VT-x and SLAT to VMBus. Archived version of https://comcomponent.com/en/blog/windows-virtualization-internals-hyperv...

Evidence Gap in Managing Lateral Pelvic Lymph Nodes in Rectal Cancer: a Systematic Review of Radiation Boost Strategies

Abstract Purpose Lateral pelvic lymph node (LPLN) involvement is a significant predictor of local recurrence in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). While lateral pelvic lymph node dissection (LPLND) is routinely used in some countries to manage suspicious nodes,...

Mild behavioral impairment and risk of incident dementia: A systematic review and meta-analysis

BackgroundLate-life emergence of persistent behavioral changes has been recognized as a clinically meaningful sign of neurodegeneration. These neuropsychiatric symptoms, operationalized as mild behavioral impairment (MBI), represent a unique pathway through which early dementia s...

Performance-measurement systems as actors and boundary objects: a sociomaterial perspective to the provision of prison services

The paper explores the performance-measurement systems (PMSs) used in the provision of prison services (and their non-human agent role) to reflect on: the role PMSs play in inter-organisational relationships; the boundary objects that connect human and non-human actors across int...

Suspected hyperthyroidism‐associated myoclonus in a cat

Abstract A 10‐year‐old, male, neutered domestic shorthair cat presented with a 2‐week history of progressively worsening myoclonic jerks predominantly involving the head. Jerks were continuous and marked at rest, but became less intense during activity. Bloodwork, including haema...

A vision-based tactile sensor with in-sensor computing paradigm for seamless tactile sensing and perception

Abstract Vision-based tactile sensors (VBTSs) offer high-resolution, multimodal tactile sensing capabilities, supporting precise and dexterous robotic manipulation. However, the physical separation of sensing and perception modules necessitates frequent data transfer, introducing...

Introducing relative pollen productivity estimates for Iberian taxa: methodological insights and implications for landscape modelling in the Western Mediterranean

Abstract. Understanding the impact of ongoing global change on plant communities requires long-term quantitative reconstructions of past vegetation dynamics. Fossil pollen records offer one of the most powerful tools to reconstruct past landscapes, yet for their accurate interpre...

Staying or Leaving: Educational Pathways After Unplanned Pregnancy Among College Women of Color

Unplanned pregnancy can disrupt higher education, yet less is known about how college women of color navigate educational pathways following pregnancy-related disruption. This qualitative phenomenological study examined the academic consequences of unplanned pregnancy and the con...

"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" – proactively evidencing research software impact

As RSEs, at some point we may need to provide evidence that our software actually has some effect on the world. Whether this is for career progression, the REF, just for your own peace of mind, collecting usage data takes many forms but can often come as an afterthought. In this...

Lessons Learned in the Early Adoption of FaME Across Ireland: A Convergent Mixed‐Methods Implementation Study (FaME Ireland)

BACKGROUND: Falls are the most common cause of hospitalisation amongst older adults in Ireland. Structured exercise programmes are recommended to manage falls, and the Falls Management Exercise (FaME) programme has been shown to reduce falls and improve physical function. However...
