The social atlas of Europe by Ballas, D, Dorling, D, Hennig, B

“…The social atlas of Europe is the first atlas to map Europe according to these realities, from the perspective of human geography rather than simply a political one. Using innovative full-color visualization methods, it reconsiders European identity through its many different facets: economy, culture, history, and human and physical geography, visualizing Europe and its people in a more fluid way, in some cases using maps without artificial national boundaries. …”

Biofilms: Microbial Cities Wherein Flow Shapes Competition by Chew, Su Chuen, Yang, Liang

“…However, two recent publications demonstrate how hydrodynamic flow and substrate topography can also alter the competitive outcomes of different bacterial phenotypes, increasing biofilm phenotypic variation.…”

Diachronic Toponomastics and Etymology: Epistemological Proposals According to the New Convergence Theory by Perono Cacciafoco, Francesco

“…The first part is inherent in a brief evaluation of the current approaches to Indo-European origins and Etymology and in the theoretical explanation of the NCT’s epistemological fundamentals, the second part deals with some examples of etymological reconstructions conducted according to this innovative approach in which Historical Phonetics, historical Semantics, historical Geography, and Landscape Archaeology participate in recovering the most ancient origins (or ‘proto-origins’) of names (‘paleo-names’) and of languages in prehistoric Europe.…”

Global whole lithosphere isostasy : implications for surface elevations, structure, strength, and densities of the continental lithosphere by Lamb, Simon, Moore, James Daniel Paul, Perez-Gussinye, Marta, Stern, Tim

“…We use a global model of WLI as a framework to assess factors controlling topography, showing that plausible regional variations in crustal and mantle densities, together with uncertainties in the crustal and conductive lithospheric thicknesses, are sufficient to account for global elevations without invoking dynamic topography greater than a few hundred meters. …”

A numerical modeling approach for better differentiation of boulders transported by a tsunami, storm, and storm-induced energetic infragravity waves by Watanabe, Masashi, Goto, Kazuhisa, Roeber, Volker, Kan, Hironobu, Imamura, Fumihiko

“…When the dimensionless transport distance of a boulder (=transport distance of a boulder/offshore wave height) is less than 4.0 × 10 over planar topography and 3.0 × 10 over reef topography, both waves can potentially be responsible for the transport distance. …”

Percy Manning’s archaeological survey of Oxfordshire by Roberts, A

“…Thurlow Leeds, Esq., M.A., F.S.A.’.1 The article consisted of a concise topographically organized index of archaeological finds from the county together with a short introduction that stated (p. 227) that the work ‘is almost entirely based on the material in the Manning Collections and stands therefore as a monument to one whose knowledge of Oxfordshire’s past has had few rivals’. …”

Two-step temperature deposited FePt bilayer for tunable magnetic properties by Dutta, Tanmay, Kundu, Shreya, Saifullah, M. S. M., Yang, Hyunsoo, Piramanayagam, Seidikkurippu Nellainayagam, Bhatia, C. S.

“…This resulted in tunable magnetic and improved topographical properties, and was due to the interplay of a number of temperature-dependent factors such as epitaxial growth, new grain nucleation, surface mobility, and difference in the thermal expansion coefficients. …”

‘You could start a new country, but you would need to discover new land’: exploring understandings of statehood with primary school pupils in England by Saddington, L, McConnell, FR

“…While scholarship within political geography has long sought to challenge the ‘territorial trap’ which underpins these approaches, and there is increasing awareness and prominence of children's political geography within the subdiscipline, little attention has focused on how children themselves conceptualise and think about the state. …”

Financial centre primacy around the world: international analysis based on mergers and acquisitions data by Wojcik, D, Keenan, L, Pazitka, V, Urban, M, Wu, W

Crosslinker energy landscape effects on dynamic mechanical properties of ideal polymer hydrogels by Khare, Eesha, de Alcântara, Amadeus C. S., Lee, Nic, Skaf, Munir S., Buehler, Markus J.

“…We report that, for an ideal network, the energy potential of the crosslinker interaction drives the viscosity of the network, where a stronger potential results in a higher viscosity. Additional topographical analyses reveal a mechanistic understanding of the structural rearrangement of the network as it deforms and indicate that as the number of defects increases in the network, the viscosity of the network increases. …”
