Empty-bucket techniques for spill-quality improvement at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron by Arrutia Sota, PA, Fraser, MA, Hagmann, G, Kain, V, Papotti, G, Spierer, A, Velotti, FM, Burrows, PN, Piandani, R

“…Synchrotrons can provide long spills of particles by employing resonant extraction where the circulating beam is slowly ejected over thousands to millions of turns by exploiting the amplitude growth caused by a transverse resonance. …”

On political tradition and ideology: Russian dimensions of practical Zionism and Israeli politics by Rabkin, Y, Yadgar, Y

“…Later, those who found themselves in Poland after Versailles became familiar with parliamentary rituals, even though the Polish state did not enjoy democracy for long. We suggest that this seemingly distant history continues to manifest itself in the political culture of contemporary Israel. …”

Comparative statics with adjustment costs and the Le Chatelier principle by Dekel, E, Quah, JK-H, Sinander, L

“…We use this insight to prove a general Le Chatelier principle: under the ordinal complementarity assumptions, if short-run adjustment is subject to a monotone cost, then the long-run response to a shock is greater than the short-run response. …”

Experimental archaeology and the study of early medieval farming by Hamerow, H, Kropp, C, Bogaard, A

“…Ros Faith has long advocated for the need to understand the practicalities of early medieval farming ‘on the ground’ and how these shaped the lived experience of peasant communities. …”

Road capacity, domestic trade and regional outcomes by Coşar, AK, Demir, B, Ghose, D, Young, N

“…A quantitative exercise using a workhorse model of spatial equilibrium implies heterogeneous effects across locations, with aggregate real income gains reaching 2–3% in the long-run. Reductions in travel times increased local employment-to-population ratio but had no effect on local population. …”

Beam studies using a Cherenkov diffraction based beam position monitor for AWAKE by Spear, B, Burrows, PN, Pakuza, C, Senes, E, Mazzoni, S, Lefevre, T, Wendt, M

“…A beam position monitor based on Cherenkov diffraction radiation (ChDR) is being investigated as a way to disentangle the signals generated by the electromagnetic fields of a short-pulse electron bunch from a long proton bunch co-propagating in the AWAKE plasma acceleration experiment at CERN. …”

Multipass steering protocols at Jefferson lab by Bodenstein, RM, Tiefenback, MG

“…Perturbations include lens misalignments (including long-term ground motion), BPM offsets, and focusing and steering from RF fields inside the cavities. …”

Aspects of the management of cheetahs, Acinonyx jubatus jubatus, trapped on Namibian farmlands by Marker, L, Dickman, AJ, Mills, M, Macdonald, D

“…Most of the cheetahs were trapped in groups, and cheetahs’ relative sociality leads to the easy removal of entire social units. Long-term monitoring must include detailed consideration of these indiscriminate removals, as they involve many cheetahs, fluctuate between years, often go unreported, and are likely to have a serious impact on cheetah populations outside protected areas.…”

Sustainable antimicrobial resistance surveillance: time for a global funding mechanism by Painter, C, Limmathurotsakul, D, Roberts, T, van Doorn, HR, Mayxay, M, Lubell, Y, Day, NPJ, Turner, P, Ashley, EA

“…This high cost is not sustainable without a long-term global financing mechanism.…”

It’s the state, indeed! How state capacity facilitates social equality in authoritarian regimes by Vaccaro, A, Panaro, AV

“…Further analysis though suggests that the overall effect of state capacity dissipates in the long run.…”

Glucokinase activity in diabetes: too much of a good thing? by Ashcroft, FM, Lloyd, M, Haythorne, EA

“…Because glucose must be metabolised to stimulate insulin release it was initially argued that drugs that stimulate glucokinase (the first enzyme in glucose metabolism) would enhance insulin secretion in diabetes. However, in the long term, glucokinase activators have been largely disappointing. …”

Renewables in GCC countries: the next frontier? by Haug, M

“…The GCC countries may find that long-term commitment, flexibility, and localization of policies may offer cost effective or efficient solutions to this dilemma.…”

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

“…Development economists have long studied the relationship between gender equality and economic growth. …”

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

“…When there are multiple career stages, underrepresentation can escalate at senior levels long after “glass ceilings” have disappeared. Underrepresentation disappears as economic returns rise and/or group identification weakens.…”

The Viking Great Army north of the Tyne: A Viking camp in Northumberland? by Kershaw, J, Jarman, C, Weber, H, Horton, M

“…We argue that the site was strategically situated and long-lived, with evidence for occupation spanning the Roman to later medieval periods. …”

Complete genome sequences of five bacteria isolated from rice plants in a paddy field in Sekinchan, Selangor, Malaysia by Abdul Malek, Ahmad Zuhairi, Mohd Hashim, Amalia, Khairil Mokhtar, Nur Fadhilah, Saidi, Noor Baity, Abu Bakar, Mohd Faizal, Singaram, Nallamai

“…The five complete bacterial genomes from the genera Pseudomonas, Burkholderia, Sphingobacterium, Stenotrophomonas, and Pantoea were sequenced using Nanopore long-read sequencing technology.…”

Carrier localization on the nanometer-scale limits transport in metal oxide photoabsorbers by Schleuning, Markus, Kölbach, Moritz, Ahmet, Ibbi, Präg, Raphael, Gottesman, Ronen, Gunder, Rene, Zhang, Mengyuan, Wargulski, Dan Ralf, Abou-Ras, Daniel, Grave, Daniel A., Abdi, Fatwa F., van de Krol, Roel, Schwarzburg, Klaus, Eichberger, Rainer, Friedrich, Dennis, Hempel, Hannes

“…Partial carrier localization further slows carrier diffusion beyond localization lengths of 1–6 nm and explains the extraordinarily long conductivity tails, which should not be taken as a sign of long diffusion lengths. …”
