Gaussian processes for probabilistic estimates of earthquake ground shaking: a 1-D proof-of-concept by Scivier, SA, Nissen-Meyer, T, Koelemeijer, P, Baydin, AG

“…Estimates of seismic wave speeds in the Earth (seismic velocity models) are key input parameters to earthquake simulations for ground motion prediction. Owing to the non-uniqueness of the seismic inverse problem, typically many velocity models exist for any given region. …”

A hidden lethal effect of long microplastic fibres on the coastal copepod Acartia erythraea by Takahashi, Kazutaka, Teh, Jun Chin

“…Our finding implies that a single piece of microplastic fibre remaining at the bottom of coastal zones could continue to kill copepods owing to its non-degradability.…”

Enchantment, possession and the uncanny in E.T.A. Hoffmann's ‘The Sandman’ by Dawson, Terence.

“…Der Sandmann (“The Sandman”; 1816) is one his best-known tales, partly because it gave rise to favourites of the ballet and opera repertoires – Delibes’ Coppelia (1870), and one of the self-contained acts of Offenbach’s Les Contes d’Hoffmann (1881) – and partly owing to the enormous impact of the crucial section that Freud devoted to it in his essay on “The Uncanny” (1919). …”
