Introducing the research design of phenomenography by Sims, D

“…Phenomenography, as distinct from phenomenology, seeks to describe and organise the different ways people experience and understand a phenomenon. Here, the origins and philosophical underpinnings of phenomenography are briefly shared, and an outline of how a phenomenographic research study may be undertaken is presented. …”

Review of "A grammar of Kham" by Noonan, Michael

Spacecraft trajectory optimization by Bora, Dinesh Ming Yang

“…The vast distances, radiation from stars and even planets along with gravity and the distances involves complicate even a task seemingly as simple as sending a spacecraft to a distant celestial object. Here mistakes in calculation, even if it is minute can result in complete disaster, resulting in the trajectory of the craft falling short of the mission objective. …”

Superparasitism of Eoxenos laboulbenei De Peyerimhoff (Strepsiptera: Mengenillidae) by Idiomacromerus gregarius (Silvestri) (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) in southern Spain by Delgado, JA, Askew, RR, Collantes, F, Kathirithamby, J

“…It was first described in 1943 from Italy by Silvestri and the present report is the first record from Spain. Here we re-examine and redescribe the newly discovered specimens of I. gregarius, add further details about its morphology and give a brief account of its biology including a new record (the mengenillid E. laboulbenei).…”

Shape measurement of single gold nanorods in water using open-access optical microcavities by Yin, Y, Trichet, A, Qian, J, Smith, JM

“…Shape measurement of single nanoparticles in fluids is an outstanding challenge with applications in characterizing synthetic functional nanoparticles and in early warning detection of rod-shaped pathogens in water supplies. Here we introduce a novel technique to measure the aspect ratio of rod-shaped particles by analyzing changes in the polarization state of a laser beam transmitted through an optical microcavity through which the particle diffuses. …”

Anticipating evolutionary responses of mosquito mating systems to population suppression with mass-reared males by Cator, LJ, Bonsall, MB

“…Strategies that rely on the mass release of males to suppress mosquito populations will exert selective pressure on natural mating systems. Here, we investigate how mass releases might affect the mating behaviors of wild target populations. …”

Beginning with the spiritual life by Wynn, MR

“…At the core of any Christian understanding of the nature of the good or worthwhile human life will stand a conception of neighbour love, and so a consideration of Aquinas's views on the nature of spiritual goods might very naturally start here, with his account of neighbour love. The case that concerns Aquinas is not quite so straightforward as that of harm, but it is not too difficult to think of parallels between the example that he gives and morally significant truths concerning the past.…”

Intermittent actuation attenuates fibrotic behaviour of myofibroblasts by Ward, Niamh A., Hanley, Shirley, Tarpey, Ruth, Schreiber, Lucien H.J., O'Dwyer, Joanne, Roche, Ellen T., Duffy, Garry P., Dolan, Eimear B.

“…However, the mechanisms of action underlying this response were largely unknown. Here, we investigate how IA can alter the activity of myofibroblast cells, and ultimately suggest that there is a mechanical loading threshold within which their fibrotic behaviour can be modulated. …”

Design of Cleavable Monomers and Cross-Linkers for the Synthesis of Degradable Polymer Architectures by Cardoso da Costa, Leticia

“…These properties, however, come at the expense of ease-of-removal. Here, a cleavable bond is introduced into the resulting cured polymer networks via co-polymerization with a cleavable comonomer. …”

Marta Czok URBE by Scarso, Jacek Ludwig, Ionescu, Georgiana, Czok, Marta

“…Among these works, specially selected for the Galleria dei Busti at Palazzo Montecitorio, we see in a central position the polyptych Città Salva Anima / Soul Saving City originally commissioned in 2000 by the French Embassy to the Holy See, in response to the Jubilee, as part of the exhibition Roma Jubilans. Here, Rome is portrayed in its relationship with faith: scenes of daily life in the Roman context alternate with a panorama of monumental Rome, in a reflection that is both emotional and playful on the concept of the Eternal City. …”
