Testing the national identity argument by Miller, D, Ali, S

“…We review the empirical evidence for and against this claim, looking particularly at how national identities have been measured. We distinguish between studies that aim to compare the relative strength of identities cross-nationally and those that look at individual differences within one nation. …”

Life satisfaction and work-life balance: the complexities of gender patterning by Brooks, R, Fu, J, Maire, M

“…Conventionally, issues connected to work–life balance have been thought to concern women more than men – not least through the promotion of a strongly gendered discourse about the imperative to become a ‘balanced woman’. …”

The genome sequence of the Blue-bordered Carpet moth Plemyria rubiginata (Denis & Schiffermüller) 1775 by Boyes, D, Lees, DC, Wawman, DC

“…The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 17.64 kilobases in length.…”

Symbolic verification and strategy synthesis for turn-based stochastic games by Kwiatkowska, M, Norman, G, Parker, D, Santos, G

“…Although good progress has been made on algorithms and tool support, efficiency and scalability remain a challenge. …”

How to make psychedelic-assisted therapy safer by Villiger, D

“…Finally, the paper presents a safety measure that has been overlooked in the literature but could be highly effective and feasible: bringing a close person to the psychedelic session.…”

Gender equality, growth, and how a technological trap destroyed female work by Humphries, J, Schneider, B

“…We sketch the pathways within the development literature that have been hypothesised as linking equality for women to rising incomes and the reverse channels, from higher incomes to equality. …”

Mapping epigenetic modifications by sequencing technologies by Chen, X, Xu, H, Shu, X, Song, C-X

“…Many epigenetic modifications have been intensively studied and found to be involved in most essential biological processes as well as human diseases, including cancer. …”

Insights into the behaviour of biomolecules on the early Earth: The concentration of aspartate by layered double hydroxide minerals by Grégoire, B, Erastova, V, Geatches, DL, Clark, SJ, Greenwell, HC, Fraser, D

“…The role of mineral surfaces in concentrating and facilitating the polymerisation of simple protobiomolecules during the Hadean and Archean has been the subject of much research in order to constrain the conditions that may have led to the origin of life on early Earth. …”

The representation dynamic and the “normalization” of group differences by Carvalho, J-P, Pradelski, BSR

“…<p>Intergroup inequality has been linked to differing norms of economic participation among groups. …”

The effects of fasting on acute ischemic infarcts in the rat by Schneider, AM, Buchan, AM, Couch, Y

“…Inflammation is largely detrimental early in the acute phase of stroke but beneficial at more chronic stages. Fasting has been shown to reduce inflammation acutely. This preliminary study aimed to determine whether post-ischemic fasting improves stroke outcomes through attenuated inflammation. …”

Recommended changes to standard of care for monitoring of cortically blind fields by Willis, HE, Cavanaugh, MR

“…Clinical care is variable throughout the United States and United Kingdom, with only 57% of patients receiving visual field assessments and 61% stating their need for support has not been fully met. Additionally, unlike stroke survivors with motor or language deficits, those with vision loss are rarely offered visual rehabilitation. …”

Assessing the Islamic State’s commitment to attacking the West by Hegghammer, T, Nesser, P

“…IS appears to have had a decentralized attack strategy based on encouraging sympathiser attacks while not mounting centrally directed operations of their own. There have also been more plots involving only IS sympathisers than plots involving returned foreign fighters. …”

A type of novel energy harvesting device by Deng, J

“…<p>Pervasive networks of wireless sensors and communication nodes have been developed during past decades and most of them are powered by fixed-energy sources, e.g., wiring power and batteries. …”

Phase transitions by an abundant protein in the anammox extracellular matrix mediate cell-to-cell aggregation and biofilm formation by Seviour, Thomas, Wong, Lan Li, Lu, Yang, Mugunthan, Sudarsan, Yang, Qiaohui, Chanda Segaran, Uma Shankari, Bessarab, Irina, Liebl, David, Williams, Rohan B. H., Law, Yingyu, Kjelleberg, Staffan

“…The isolated protein was stained positively by the β-sheet-specific stain thioflavin T, along with cell surface- and matrix-associated regions of the biofilm. …”

Online optimisation of the CLIC drive beam bunch train recombination at CTF3 by Gamba, D

“…The non-linear beam energy effects have been investigated by means of MAD-X simulations. …”

Functional characterisation of multiple sclerosis-­associated single nucleotide polymorphisms in the Eomesodermin region by Leach, O

“…Eomes has been shown to be important for embryonic and neural development, as well as in the immune system, the latter of which was the focus of this investigation. …”

Early Neoarchean geodynamic regime in the North China Craton: constraints from 2.7 Ga granitoids in the southern Jilin terrane by Liu, J, Zhang, H, Palin, RM, Liu, Z, Zhang, J, Cheng, C, Liu, X, Zhao, C

“…A major episode of continental growth during the early Neoarchean has been identified in many cratons worldwide. Indeed, early Neoarchean magmatism has been recognized in several terranes within the North China Craton over the past decade, although the geodynamic regime in which such activity occurred remains highly debated. …”

Electrospun carbon-silica composite nanofibers for selective removal of oil and water by Tai, Ming Hang

“…The microstructure of CNF is turbostratic with the carbon atomic sheets stacked together randomly. Despite non-crystalline structure, the CNFs could withstand a temperature as high as 500°C. …”
