Characterizing the spectrum of slip behavior at the Sumatran subduction zone with long-term geodetic records by Tsang, Louisa Lok Hang

“…I examine a range of oceanographic and tectonic processes that can potentially explain these observations, and find that the most likely explanation is a 15-year-long slow slip event on the Banyak Islands section of the Sunda megathrust. …”

Edge color constrained influence maximization in social networks by Chandra, Bhavya

“…However, simply selecting the most influential people does not maximize the spread as the content of a post dictates how likely a user will ‘share’ it. Thus, we show that it is not only imperative to select the top-k seed nodes but also the top-r most relevant topics in the network. …”

Cadmium isotope fractionation during adsorption onto calcite by Peng, H, Liu, P, Zheng, H, Belshaw, NS, Hu, S, Zhu, Z

“…However, near identical coordination environments of the aqueous and sorbed Cd species in the presence of PO43− likely led to the reduced Cd isotope fractionation. …”

Metacognition facilitates Theory of Mind through optimal weighting of trait inferences by Long, EL, Catmur, C, Fleming, S, Bird, G

“…This effect was greater in magnitude with lower metacognitive sensitivity, i.e., when confidence is more likely to be misplaced. Furthermore, participants’ trait inference ability was associated with the accuracy of their understanding of the average mind. …”

Neotropical mammal responses to megafires in the Brazilian Pantanal by Bardales, R, Boron, V, Viana, DFP, Sousa, LL, Droge, E, Porfirio, G, Jaramillo, M, Payan, E, Sillero-Zubiri, C, Hyde, M

Range expansion of a declining forest species, the Western Gray Squirrel (Sciurus griseus), into semi-arid woodland by Sultaire, SM, Montgomery, RA, Jackson, PJ, Millspaugh, JJ

“…Occupancy modeling revealed that western gray squirrels were equally likely to occur in piñon–juniper woodland compared to mature pine forest that they occupy elsewhere in their range. …”

The Pandemic EVIDENCE Collaboration Pillar 1: diagnostics and transmission by Conly, J, Plüddemann, A, Jefferson, T, Rosca, C, Heneghan, C

“…The transmission dynamics to allow for a replication-competent virus to move from a reservoir to a susceptible host and establish an invasive infection is complex and it is likely multiple modes of transmission exist from direct reservoir-to-host (contact, droplet deposition, transplacental) and indirect reservoir-to-intermediary-to- host (vehicle-borne, foodborne, waterborne, and airborne) routes. …”

Multisensory processing in the ferret auditory cortex by Hammond-Kenny, A

“…For example, animals were more likely to correctly localise stimuli when activity increased in the contralateral cortex and decreased in the ipsilateral cortex. …”

Multidecadal Morphodynamic evolution of shorelines and coral reefs along the Arabian Sea Coast of Oman: Bar Al Hikman Peninsula by Teillet, T, Bois, P, Homewood, P, Mettraux, M, Samimi-Namin, K, Vahrenkamp, V

“…At this pace, the ongoing reef decline is likely to exacerbate shoreline erosion, accelerate the landward migration of barrier bars and in turn close off lagoonal areas, and threaten intertidal ecosystems. …”

Online arts and culture for mental health in young people: a qualitative interview study by Syed Sheriff, R, Bergin, L, Bonsaver, L, Riga, E, O'Dell, B, Adams, H, Glogowska, M

“…Participants described that human connection was the feature of OAC most likely to benefit mental health and emphasised the importance of representation. …”

“…</p> <p><strong>Results</strong> A total of 625 patients who were 18 years of age or older were treated with intravenous immunoglobulin for autoimmune encephalitis, of whom 398 were determined as having 'highly likely' or 'definite' autoimmune/limbic encephalitis. …”

Effectiveness of supervised versus self-directed rehabilitation for adults aged 50 years and over with ankle fractures: protocol for the AFTER trial by Keene, DJ, Achten, J, Forde, C, Png, ME, Grant, R, Draper, K, Appelbe, D, Tutton, E, Peckham, N, Dutton, SJ, Lamb, SE, Costa, ML

“…To aid recovery, some patients are referred to physiotherapy, but referral patterns vary, likely due to uncertainty about the effectiveness of this supervised rehabilitation approach. …”

A dormant overmassive black hole in the early Universe by Juodžbalis, I, Maiolino, R, Baker, WM, Tacchella, S, Scholtz, J, D’Eugenio, F, Witstok, J, Schneider, R, Trinca, A, Valiante, R, DeCoursey, C, Curti, M, Carniani, S, Chevallard, J, de Graaff, A, Arribas, S, Bennett, JS, Bourne, MA, Bunker, AJ, Charlot, S, Jiang, B, Koudmani, S, Perna, M, Robertson, B

“…The black hole to host galaxy stellar mass ratio is about 0.4—that is, about 1,000 times above the local relation—whereas the system is closer to the local relations in terms of dynamical mass and velocity dispersion of the host galaxy. This object is most likely an indication of a much larger population of dormant black holes around the epoch of reionization. …”
