Observations on naming and labelling practices in angle work with teachers: how might small language choices support mathematical activity? by Ingram, J, Ward-Penny, R, Kimber, E, Planas, N

“…In this paper we contribute to this by offering examples to highlight the variation in how mathematical objects and relationships can be described and the implications these differences may have on the learning of some students. These examples are drawn from a discussion between a group of researchers and teachers working together on a geometric task as part of a project where they are collaborating to develop resources to support language-responsive teaching. …”

Global solutions of the one-dimensional compressible Euler equations with nonlocal interactions via the inviscid limit by Carrillo, JA, Chen, G-QG, Yuan, D, Zatorska, E

“…The main difficulties in this paper arise from the appearance of the nonlocal terms. In particular, some uniform higher moment estimates for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations on expanding intervals with stress-free boundary conditions are obtained by careful design of the approximate initial data.…”

Wrapped branes and punctured horizons by Bobev, N, Bomans, P, Gautason, FF

“…The regular solutions of this equation lead to the well-known wrapped brane supergravity solutions associated with the constant curvature metric on a compact Riemann surface. We show that some singular solutions of the Liouville equation have a physical interpretation as explicit point-like brane sources on the Riemann surface. …”

Fair division for avoidance of biodiversity impacts by Booth, H, Milner-Gulland, E, Bang, A, Bull, J, Moreno-Ternero, JD, Squires, D

“…Biodiversity is declining at alarming rates, with some negative impacts caused by activities that are necessary for meeting basic human needs and others which should be avoided to prevent ecological collapse. …”

The history of a single-cell allomorph: the first person singular of the Romance preterite by Maiden, M

“…Despite their paradigmatic ‘isolation’, they tend not only to survive but to be extended to other parts of the preterite and even beyond. This study offers some brief speculation on the reasons for this behaviour, and calls for more extensive comparative study on the diachrony of ‘single-cell allomorphs’ in the world’s languages.…”

Measuring science: performance metrics and the allocation of talent by Hager, S, Schwarz, C, Waldinger, F

“…For technical reasons, it only covered citations from certain journals and years, creating quasi-random variation: some citations became visible, while others remained invisible. …”

A disproportionate risk of being executed: why Pakistani migrants are vulnerable to capital punishment in Saudi Arabia by Hoyle, C, Hutton, J, Harry, L

“…Our data suggest that drug laws and penal policies leave migrant workers particularly susceptible to capital punishment, with the administration of migrant employment recruitment processes exposing Pakistanis to coercion into drug trafficking such that some could be regarded not as criminally liable but as victims of human trafficking.…”

Evaluating the rediscovery process as a treatment programme for a range of substance use disorders by Parker, Phil

“…Many participants noted differences between this approach and those previously tried and the majority found the intervention effective. However, some did not find it of use and there was evidence of issues of a conflict between the concepts of this and other previously used models, which made adopting the new ideas difficult for some. …”
