Glorious autarky? Foreign resources and the British fiscal-military state, 1688-1815 by Graham, A

“…Easy access to these resources enabled ministers to retain a bare-bones military and naval establishments in peacetime and then, in wartime, to ‘surge’ the state by using off- the-shelf foreign military labour to hold the line while British forces were recruited. Relying upon cheap foreign money enabled the British state to hold down taxation and expensive borrowing. …”

Oil palm smallholder's income and sustainable development goals (SDGs) achievement in Peninsular Malaysia by Applanaidu, Shri Devi, Abidin, Norhaslinda Zainal, Mustapha, Mukhtar, Abdullahi Baba, Mohammed, Joseph, Viandrito

“…The analysis showed that all the oil palm smallholders in Peninsular Malaysia have a daily average income far above the poverty line. Johor has the highest daily average income in Peninsular Malaysia, therefore, it is easy for the oil palm smallholders in Johor to achieve SDG 1, SDG 2, SDG 3, SDG 5 and SDG 8 faster than the rest of the oil palm smallholders in Pahang, Selangor and Kelantan with lower average daily incomes…”

Characterising the functional role of GATA1short isoform in normal and malignant haematopoiesis by Cruz Hernandez, D

“…Both TAM and ML-DS are driven by mutations in the gene encoding the X-linked erythroid-megakaryocyte transcription factor GATA1 that result in truncation of 83 N-terminal amino acids to produce GATA1short (GATA1s). …”

Global marine flyways identified for long-distance migrating seabirds from tracking data by Davies, T, Guilford, T

“…We visualised the routes of each cluster using a line density analysis and used knowledge of seabird spatial ecology to combine the clusters to identify the broad-scale flyways followed by most pelagic migratory seabirds tracked to-date at an ocean-basin scale.…”

Microlensing Near Macro-Caustics by Weisenbach, Luke, Anguita, Timo, Miralda-Escudé, Jordi, Oguri, Masamune, Saha, Prasenjit, Schechter, Paul L.

“…Micro-caustics join into a connected network in a region around the macro-critical line of a width proportional to the surface density of microlenses; within this region, the increase of the mean magnification toward the macro-caustic is driven by the increase of the number of micro-images rather than individual magnifications of micro-images. …”
