On the productivity advantage of cities (2024)
Journal Article

Agglomeration externalities are the key factor explaining the existence of cities and their size. However, while the various micro foundations of agglomeration externalities stress the importance of total factor productivity (TFP), the empirical evid...

Exploring Spatial Patterns of Tropical Peatland Subsidence in Selangor, Malaysia Using the APSIS-DInSAR Technique (2024)
Journal Article

Tropical peatlands in Southeast Asia have experienced widespread subsidence due to forest clearance and drainage for agriculture, oil palm and pulp wood production, causing concerns about their function as a long-term carbon store. Peatland drainage... Read More about Exploring Spatial Patterns of Tropical Peatland Subsidence in Selangor, Malaysia Using the APSIS-DInSAR Technique.

Direct formation of copper nanoparticles from atoms at graphitic step edges lowers overpotential and improves selectivity of electrocatalytic CO2 reduction (2024)
Journal Article

A key strategy for minimizing our reliance on precious metals is to increase the fraction of surface atoms and improve the metal-support interface. In this work, we employ a solvent/ligand/counterion-free method to deposit copper in the atomic form d...

The sociodemographic correlates of conspiracism (2024)
Journal Article

Despite hundreds of studies examining belief in conspiracy theories, it is still unclear who—demographically—is most likely to believe such theories. To remedy this knowledge gap, we examine survey data containing various operationalizations of consp... Read More about The sociodemographic correlates of conspiracism.

Exploring galaxy evolution time-scales in clusters: insights from the projected phase space (2024)
Journal Article

Galaxies infalling into clusters undergo both star-formation quenching and morphological transformation due to environmental effects. We investigate these processes and their timescales using a local sample of 20,191 cluster and 11,674 field galaxies...

The automorphisms of differential extensions of characteristic p (2024)
Journal Article

Nonassociative differential extensions are generalizations of associative differential extensions, either of a purely inseparable field extension K of exponent one of a field F , F of characteristic p, or of a central division algebra over a purely i...

Shock wave generation and propagation in dissipative and nonlocal nonlinear Rydberg media (2024)
Journal Article

We investigate the generation of optical shock waves in strongly interacting Rydberg atomic gases with a spatially homogeneous dissipative potential. The Rydberg atom interaction induces an optical nonlocal nonlinearity. We focus on local nonlinear (...

Breathing space amidst the permanence of racism in the academy (2024)
Journal Article

This paper presents evidence that sheds light on both the limitations and the possibilities of race-focused staff forums that have formed across UK higher education as part of a response to equality legislation. Based on interviews conducted with thi... Read More about Breathing space amidst the permanence of racism in the academy.

Conceptualising the art of belonging for young refugees and asylum-seekers: reflections from England and Sweden (2024)
Journal Article

The concept of belonging has grown in prominence in research and policy relating to new arrivals from refugee and asylum-seeking backgrounds. Arguably, belonging is replacing integration and inclusion as the panacea to perceived problems associated w...

JWST observations of galaxy damping wings during reionization interpreted with cosmological simulations (2024)
Journal Article

Spectra of the highest redshift galaxies taken with JWST are now allowing us to see into the heart of the reionization epoch. Many of these observed galaxies exhibit strong damping wing absorption redward of their Lyman-α emission. These observations... Read More about JWST observations of galaxy damping wings during reionization interpreted with cosmological simulations.

Total synthesis, biological evaluation and biosynthetic re-evaluation of Illicium-derived neolignans (2024)
Journal Article

We report the first total syntheses of simonsol F (3), simonsinol (5), fargenin (4), and macranthol (6) in addition to syntheses of simonsol C (2), simonsol G (1), and honokiol (14). The syntheses are based upon a phosphonium ylide-mediated cascade r... Read More about Total synthesis, biological evaluation and biosynthetic re-evaluation of Illicium-derived neolignans.

Moving on: the overrepresentation of Black and minoritised households in out of area housing placements in England (2024)
Journal Article

Based on freedom of information request data supplied by English local authorities, this paper identifies significant under-reporting of out of area housing placements in government statistics alongside an overrepresentation of Black and minoritised...

‘Involuntary exit for personal reasons’ – A gendered critique of the business exit decision (2024)
Journal Article

Women are more likely to exit from entrepreneurship for personal reasons; such exits are deemed uneventful and voluntary. We critically evaluate such assumptions by adopting a gendered critique to unpack the nature of such personal reasons arguing th...

Needle fasciotomy versus limited fasciectomy for the treatment of Dupuytren’s contractures of the fingers (Hand-2): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial (2024)
Journal Article

Background: Dupuytren’s contractures (DC) are fibrous cords under the skin of the hand that cause one or more fingers to curl gradually and irreversibly towards the palm. These contractures are usually painless but can cause a loss of hand function....
