Seasonal density-dependence can select for partial migrants in migratory species by Liu, J, Zhang, Z, Coulson, T

“…Our theoretical models were motivated by empirical data identified via a systematic literature review. We find that the equilibrium density in the season with the strongest density-dependence of a strategy predicts whether the strategy will become dominant within the population. …”

Frontier rule and conflict by Malik, M, Mirza, RA, Rehman, FU

“…Using the arbitrarily defined historical border between frontier and non-frontier regions in northwestern Pakistan and 10km-by-10km grid-level conflict data in a spatial regression discontinuity design, we find that areas historically under frontier rule experienced significantly higher violence against the state after 9/11. …”

The London money market and non-British bank lending during the first globalisation: evidence from Brazil by Kisling, W, Molteni, M

“…Using monthly data between 1889 and 1913, we find a positive relationship between the amount of credit authorised by the German Brasilianische Bank für Deutschland in Brazil and the spread between the London market and floating rate. …”

Toxic speech and limited demand for content moderation on social media by Pradel, F, Zilinsky, J, Kosmidis, S, Theocharis, Y

“…We present results from two studies with pre-registered randomized experiments (Study 1, N = 5,130; Study 2, N = 3,734) to examine how these variants causally affect users’ content moderation preferences. We find that while both the severity of toxicity and the target of the attack matter, the demand for content moderation of toxic speech is limited. …”

Allee effects: empirical analyses of wild British butterfly populations and theoretical implications for population synchrony by Dooley, C

“…In chapter 2 I investigate the spatial variation in influential density-dependent processes and density-independent weather factors for the large skipper butterfly <em>Ochlodes sylvanus</em> across its British range. I find both qualitative and quantitative spatial variation in these processes and factors driving population dynamics. …”

Employment dynamics in a rapid decarbonization of the US power sector by Bücker, J, del Rio-Chanona, RM, Pichler, A, Ives, MC, Farmer, JD

“…However, without proper planning, rapidly growing industries will struggle to find skilled labor during the scale-up phase, while displaced workers might struggle finding jobs during the scale-down phase. …”

Rapid modulation of striatal cholinergic interneurons and dopamine release by satellite astrocytes by Stedehouder, J, Roberts, B, Raina, S, Bossi, S, Liu, AKA, Doig, N, McGerty, K, Magill, P, Parkkinen, L, Cragg, S

“…These findings reveal a privileged satellite astrocyte-interneuron interaction for striatal ChIs operating on subsecond timescales via regulation of extracellular calcium dynamics to shape downstream striatal circuit activity and dopamine signaling. …”

Supersymmetric Yang-Mills, spherical branes, and precision holography by Bobev, N, Bomans, P, Gautason, FF, Minahan, JA, Nedelin, A

“…The same calculation can also be performed in supergravity using the recently found spherical brane solutions. We find excellent agreement between the two sets of results. …”

Bubble instability of mIIA on AdS4 x S6 by Bomans, P, Cassani, D, Dibitetto, G, Petri, N

“…Motivated by these results, we study possible bubbling solutions connected to the G2 vacuum, representing non-perturbative instabilities of the latter. We indeed find an instability channel represented by the nucleation of a bubble of nothing dressed up with a homogeneous D2 brane charge distribution in the internal space. …”

Sexual selection predicts the persistence of populations within altered environments by Parrett, Jonathan M., Mann, Darren J., Chung, Arthur Y. C., Slade, Eleanor M., Knell, Robert J.

“…Testes mass, an indicator of post-copulatory selection, is, however, negatively linked with the abundance of species within the most disturbed habitats. …”

Alteration of gate-oxide trap capture/emission time constants by channel hot-carrier effect in the metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor by Ju, Xin, Ang, Diing Shenp

“…Since the CHC stress effect is present in all scaled transistors, the findings would have important implications for models/applications that presume oxide-trap properties to be stress-invariant.…”

Multi-IRS empowered terahertz wireless communication over generalized fading by Premanand, Rithwik, Vishwakarma, Narendra, Singh, Ranjan, Madhukumar, A. S.

“…To mitigate these limitations and leverage the unique advantages of the THz band, this study investigates a multi-IRS-empowered THz system that incorporates design parameters such as transceiver antenna gains, operation frequency, link distances, molecular absorption losses, beam misalignment, transceiver hardware imperfections, and statistical characteristics of the THz channel. …”

Assessing Early Stage Design Sketches and Reflections on Prototyping by Das, Madhurima, Yang, Maria C

“…Results also indicate that early-stage sketch quantity, but not quality, is linked with design outcomes. This study also finds a link between the frequency of sketching and higher maximum sketch quality scores (i.e., at least one highly rated sketch) as well as a correlation between individuals’ maximum sketch quality scores and overall design outcomes. …”

Postural stability in cyclists by Preece, Mia, Grainger, Karl, Starrs, Paul

“…Conclusion: MTB balance was worse than RC balance, but both cycling groups were found to have better balance scores than the control. These findings have implications for public health, as cycling, an inexpensive and accessible activity already known to offer substantial health benefits, could additionally help maintain postural stability and potentially reduce risk of falls in later life.…”
