Strain-Induced Gauge Field and Landau Levels in Acoustic Structures by Yang, Zhaoju, Gao, Fei, Yang, Yahui, Zhang, Baile

“…The emerging field of topological acoustics that explores novel gauge-field-related phenomena for sound has drawn attention in recent years. However, previous approaches constructing a synthetic gauge field for sound predominantly relied on a periodic system, being unable to form a uniform effective magnetic field, thus lacking access to some typical magnetic-induced quantum phenomena such as Landau energy quantization. …”

Continent-wide drivers of spatial synchrony in breeding demographic structure across wild great tit populations by Woodman, JP, Vriend, SJG, Adriaensen, F, Cole, E, Evans, Park, JS, Firth, JA, Sheldon, B

“…Using 32 great tit populations, spanning 4°W–33°E and 35–65°N involving >130,000 birds across 67 years, we quantify spatial synchrony in breeding demographic structure (subadult vs. adult breeders) and its drivers. …”

Low grandparental social support combined with low parental socioeconomic status is closely associated with obesity in preschool‐aged children: a pilot study by Lindberg, L, Ek, A, Nyman, J, Marcus, C, Ulijaszek, S, Nowicka, P

“…This study investigates the importance of parents' SES and social support (functional and structural) for weight status in a clinical sample of preschoolers 4–6 years old with obesity (n = 39, 56% girls; 73% of parents were overweight/obese, 50% were of non‐Swedish origin). …”

Developing a framework for tracking antimicrobial resistance gene movement in a persistent environmental reservoir by Mathers, AJ, Li, TJX, He, Q, Narendra, S, Stoesser, N, Eyre, DW, Walker, AS, Barry, KE, Castañeda-Barba, S, Huang, FW, Parikh, H, Kotay, S, Crook, DW, Reidys, C

“…We successfully reconstructed the complete bacterial genome and plasmid assemblies of isolates sharing the same blaKPC carbapenemase gene to understand evolution over time in six confined hospital drains over five years. From 82 isolates we identified 14 unique strains from 10 species with 113 blaKPC-carrying plasmids across 16 distinct replicon types. …”

Unequal health: the scandal of our times by Dorling, D
