Mobility and community at Mesolithic Lake Onega, Karelia, north-west Russia: insights from strontium isotope analysis by Eckelmann, R, Arppe, L, Tarasov, A, Pospieszny, Ł, Ackerman, L, Heyd, V, Gerasimov, D, Moiseyev, V, Fairbanks, V, Hyland, C, Mannermaa, K

“…Radiogenic strontium isotope analysis (87Sr/86Sr) was used to identify group dynamics within the cemetery and examine the site’s place within local and supra-regional networks. The analysis of 57 humans and 31 animals was supported by the creation of an environmental baseline which identified four key geological zones and defines the strontium characteristics of Lake Onega. …”

Correlated and anticorrelated binocular disparity modulate GABA+ and glutamate/glutamine concentrations in the human visual cortex by Matuszewski, J, Ip, IB, Alvarez, I, Clarke, WT, Parker, AJ, Bridge, H

“…Glx during viewing of anticorrelation in LO was predictive of object-selective BOLD-activity in the same region. <br> We provide evidence that early and ventral visual cortices change GABA+ and Glx concentrations during presentation of correlated and anticorrelated disparity, suggesting a contribution of cortical excitation and inhibition to disparity selectivity.…”

Quantum Monte Carlo study of the phase diagram of the two-dimensional uniform electron liquid by Azadi, S, Drummond, ND, Vinko, SM

“…Our zero-temperature phase diagram shows a single transition from a paramagnetic fluid to a hexagonal Wigner crystal at rs = 35(1), with no region of stability for a ferromagnetic fluid.…”

Immunity debt for seasonal influenza after the COVID-19 pandemic and as a result of non-pharmaceutical interventions: an ecological analysis and cohort study by Chen, L, Guo, Y, López-Güell, K, Ma, J, Dong, Y, Xie, J, Prieto Alhambra, D

“…In addition, a positive association between the Stringency Index and post-relaxation influenza surge was observed globally (R² = 0.14-0.17) and replicated regionally. Our findings support the population immunity debt hypothesis for influenza and call for proactive preparations against its consequences in future pandemics.…”

Seismic node arrays for enhanced understanding and monitoring of geothermal systems by Hudson, T, Kettlety, T, Kendall, J-M, O'Toole, T, Jupe, A, Shail, RK, Grand, G

“…In our example case study, we find that the injection‐site fracture orientations significantly differ from that of the crust above and the regional stress state. These observations agree well with fracture orientations inferred from independent well‐log data, exemplifying how the nodes can provide new insight for understanding the geothermal systems. …”

Reading the transformation: the relationship between literature and territory in contemporary Veneto by Frezzato, E

“…Placed in the context of a broader reflection on the dynamics of such relation, this thesis aims at outlining a specific set of theoretical references in order to analyse the case of contemporary Veneto through a close reading of some particularly relevant works by two authors from this region, Massimo Carlotto and Marco Paolini.</p> <p>Developed from an interest in the literary tradition of Veneto and in the theme of landscape and territory representation in literature, this thesis is comprised of two parts: the first one is dedicated to tracing the theoretical, historical, and literary coordinates that define the scope and frame of reference for the thesis; the second one conducts an in-depth analysis of the context in which the works of Carlotto and Paolini are situated. …”

Tipping point in ice-sheet grounding-zone melting due to ocean water intrusion by Bradley, AT, Hewitt, IJ

“…We reveal a sensitive dependence of the grounding-zone dynamics on this feedback: as the grounding zone widens in response to melting, both temperature and flow velocity in the region increase, further enhancing melting. We find that increases in ocean temperature can lead to a tipping point being passed, beyond which ocean water intrudes in an unbounded manner beneath the ice sheet, via a process of runaway melting. …”
