Improved design of an advanced Ice Giants Net Flux Radiometer by Aslam, S, Calcutt, SB, Hewagama, T, Irwin, PG, Nixon, C, Quilligan, G, Roos-Serote, MC, Villanueva, G

“…Net flux measurements within spectral filter bands, ranging from solar to far-infrared, will help derive radiative heating and cooling profiles, and will significantly contribute to our understanding of the planet’s atmospheric heat balance and structure, tropospheric 3-D flow, and compositions and opacities of the cloud layers. The IG-NFR uses an array of non-imaging Winston cones integrated to a matched thermopile detector Focal Plane Assembly (FPA), with individual bandpass filters and windows, housed in a vacuum micro-vessel. …”

Automation acceptance for sustainable digital daily life by Vrain, E, Wilson, C

“…Our findings reveal three key insights: 1) acceptance of automation varies across different phases of an activity, with planning aspects predominantly overridden and controlled by users; 2) when expectations, especially concerning the automation's usefulness during activity execution, were exceeded, participants reported strong positive feedback mechanisms; 3) automation acceptance occurred more frequently for the execution of mundane tasks involving household management. …”

Universal D-modules, and factorisation structures on Hilbert schemes of points by Cliff, E

“…We do this via the Hilbert scheme of points of 𝑋, which we use to build a factorisation space over 𝑋. Linearising this space produces a factorisation algebra over 𝑋, and hence, by Koszul duality, the desired chiral algebra. …”

Radiocarbon calibration: from bane to blessing by Bronk Ramsey, C

“…This research has provided a wealth of information useful for other scientific challenges, most notably the quantification of the global carbon cycle, but also enabled, in the right circumstances, measurement precision an order of magnitude better than if there had been no variation in atmospheric ¹⁴C. …”

A review of high-speed rotating HP turbine heat transfer and cooling studies over the last decade in the Oxford Turbine Research Facility by Falsetti, C, Beard, PF, Cardwell, DN, Chana, KS

SARS-CoV-2 human challenge reveals biomarkers that discriminate early and late phases of respiratory viral infections by Rosenheim, J, Gupta, RK, Thakker, C, Mann, T, Bell, LCK, Broderick, CM, Madon, K, Papargyris, L, Dayananda, P, Kwok, AJ, Greenan-Barrett, J, Wagstaffe, HR, Conibear, E, Fenn, J, Hakki, S, Lindeboom, RGH, Dratva, LM, Lemetais, B, Weight, CM, Venturini, C, Kaforou, M, Levin, M, Kalinova, M, Mann, AJ, Knight, JC

“…Blood transcriptional biomarkers of acute viral infections typically reflect type 1 interferon (IFN) signalling, but it is not known whether there are biological differences in their regulation that can be leveraged for distinct translational applications. We use high frequency sampling in the SARS-CoV-2 human challenge model to show induction of IFN-stimulated gene (ISG) expression with different temporal and cellular profiles. …”

An empirical bioethical examination of Norwegian and British doctors' views of responsibility and (de)prioritization in healthcare by Everett, JAC, Maslen, H, Nussberger, A-M, Bringedal, B, Wilkinson, D, Savulescu, J

“…Finally, some behaviours were considered more appropriate grounds for deprioritization (smoking, alcohol, drug use)—potentially because of the certainty of impact and direct link to ill health. …”

'To know them thoroughly you must have their photographs': photographing Donatello in the 19th and early 20th centuries by Johnson, GA

“…Robinson in Britain and Wilhelm von Bode and Heinrich Wölfflin on the Continent commissioned, used and sometimes abandoned when studying Donatello and his contemporaries. …”

The do's and don'ts of quantum memory in cryptanalysis by Jaques, S

“…However, the run-time of this algorithm is too high, so I show a more effective use of massive arrays of quantum hardware. This second algorithm has a higher cost but parallelises nearly perfectly.…”

Synthesis and characterization of poly (Ethylene Glycol) dimethacrylate-based bionanocomposites with hydroxyapatite from rohu fish (Labeo rohita) bones by Inam, Bushra, Jamila, Nargis, Khan, Naeem, Nishan, Umar, Rauf, Aleesha, Shujah, Shaukat, Shah, Azhar Ul Haq Ali, Ibrahim, Mohamed A., Kim, Kyong Su

“…The present study was aimed to isolate hydroxyapatite from rohu fish bones and integrate it into biomaterials with the potential for use in dentistry. Nanocomposite films were developed by combining hydroxyapatite and irgacure with poly (ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate (PEGDMA) and characterized by SEM, DSC, FTIR spectroscopy, and XRD techniques. …”
