Cheeger-Simons differential characters with compact support and Pontryagin duality (2019)
Journal Article

By adapting the Cheeger-Simons approach to differential cohomology, we establish a notion of differential cohomology with compact support. We show that it is functorial with respect to open embeddings and that it fits into a natural diagram of exact...

Representation and novelty in Aeschylus' Theoroi (2019)
Journal Article

This article argues in favour of the view that in Aeschylus' Theoroi (aka Isthmiastai) the satyrs had absconded from Dionysus’ choral training, and dedicate a set of votive masks on Poseidon’s Isthmian temple. I propose that at the end of fr. 78c Dio... Read More about Representation and novelty in Aeschylus' Theoroi.

Identity and digital equity: Reflections on a university educational technology course (2019)
Journal Article

This inquiry explored preservice teachers (PSTs) developing learner and professional identities while participating in a university course that explicitly incorporates the use of technology into teaching. The paper posits that it is important for ini... Read More about Identity and digital equity: Reflections on a university educational technology course.

Formation of S0s in extreme environments I: clues from kinematics and stellar populations (2019)
Journal Article

Despite numerous efforts, it is still unclear whether lenticular galaxies (S0s) evolve from spirals whose star formation was suppressed, or formed trough mergers or disk instabilities. In this paper we present a pilot study of 21 S0 galaxies in extre... Read More about Formation of S0s in extreme environments I: clues from kinematics and stellar populations.

Recent disruptions in the timing and intensity of precipitation in Calakmul, Mexico (2019)
Journal Article

This study addresses changes in the timing and intensity of precipitation from 1982 to 2016 from three meteorological stations around Calakmul, Mexico, a landscape balancing biodiversity conservation and smallholder agricultural production. Five meth... Read More about Recent disruptions in the timing and intensity of precipitation in Calakmul, Mexico.

Letters of the Labouring Poor: The Art of Letter Writing in Colonial India (2019)
Journal Article

This article examines the emergence of mass letter-writing in the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century colonial north India, a region marked by the growth of an unprecedented labour mobility, postal expansion, vernacular print, and workers' l...

Diagnosing dysplasia in Barrett’s oesophagus still requires Seattle protocol biopsy in the era of modern video endoscopy: results from a tertiary centre Barrett’s dysplasia database. (2019)
Journal Article

Objectives: The role of random, four-quadrant biopsy (i.e. systematic biopsy) in Barrett’s oesophagus surveillance has been questioned given its drawbacks and the emergence of high-resolution endoscopy and advanced imaging modalities. Our study aims...
