The progenitor galaxies of stellar haloes as ‘failed’ Milky Ways (2023)
Journal Article
Bose, S., & Deason, A. J. (2023). The progenitor galaxies of stellar haloes as ‘failed’ Milky Ways. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 522(4), 5013-5021. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stad1123

The stellar halo of the Milky Way records the history of its interactions with dwarf galaxies, whose subsequent destruction results in the formation of an extended stellar component. Recent works have suggested that galaxies with masses comparable to... Read More about The progenitor galaxies of stellar haloes as ‘failed’ Milky Ways.

Estimating mesocarnivore abundance on commercial farmland using distance sampling with camera traps (2023)
Journal Article
McKaughan, J., Stephens, P., & Hill, R. (2023). Estimating mesocarnivore abundance on commercial farmland using distance sampling with camera traps. Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 4(2), Article e12229. https://doi.org/10.1002/2688-8319.12229

1. Mesocarnivores are of particular interest in wildlife management. Their adaptability makes them a focus of public attention globally, as negative interactions with people occur regularly, but their importance to wider ecosystem function is increas...

Factors affecting bait uptake by the grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) and the future delivery of oral contraceptives (2023)
Journal Article
Beatham, S., Coats, J., Stephens, P., & Massei, G. (online). Factors affecting bait uptake by the grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) and the future delivery of oral contraceptives. Wildlife Research, 51, https://doi.org/10.1071/wr22159

Context: Invasive species negatively affect natural communities and human activities. The grey squirrel is an invasive species in the UK, causing damage to forestry and the decline of the native red squirrel. Oral contraceptives have the potential to...

Conglomerate Crystallization in the Cambridge Structural Database (2020–2021) (2023)
Journal Article
Walsh, M. P., Barclay, J. A., Begg, C. S., Xuan, J., & Kitching, M. O. (2023). Conglomerate Crystallization in the Cambridge Structural Database (2020–2021). Crystal Growth and Design, 23(4), 2837-2837. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.cgd.3c00019

Conglomerate crystals are materials capable of undergoing spontaneous resolution and were responsible for the discovery of molecular chirality. Their relevance to modern chemical and crystallographic sciences has been hindered by the difficulty in id...

Cosmological structure formation and soliton phase transition in fuzzy dark matter with axion self-interactions (2023)
Journal Article
Mocz, P., Fialkov, A., Vogelsberger, M., Boylan-Kolchin, M., Chavanis, P.-H., Amin, M. A., Bose, S., Dome, T., Hernquist, L., Lancaster, L., Notis, M., Painter, C., Robles, V. H., & Zavala, J. (2023). Cosmological structure formation and soliton phase transition in fuzzy dark matter with axion self-interactions. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 521(2), 2608-2615. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stad694

We investigate cosmological structure formation in fuzzy dark matter (FDM) with the attractive self-interaction (SI) with numerical simulations. Such a SI would arise if the FDM boson were an ultra-light axion, which has a strong CP symmetry-breaking...

Toward Supporting CS1 Instructors and Learners With Fine-Grained Topic Detection in Online Judges (2023)
Journal Article
Pereira, F. D., Fonseca, S. C., Wiktor, S., Oliveira, D. B., Cristea, A. I., Benedict, A., Fallahian, M., Dorodchi, M., Carvalho, L. S., Mello, R. F., & Oliveira, E. H. (2023). Toward Supporting CS1 Instructors and Learners With Fine-Grained Topic Detection in Online Judges. IEEE Access, 11, https://doi.org/10.1109/access.2023.3247189

Online judges (OJ) are a popular tool to support programming learning. However, one major issue with OJs is that problems are often put together without any associated meta-information that could, for example, be used to help classify problems. This...

Quantitative morphometric analysis of intrinsic and extrinsic skin ageing in individuals with Fitzpatrick skin types II–III (2023)
Journal Article
Costello, L., Goncalves, K., De Los Santos Gomez, P., Simpson, A., Maltman, V., Ritchie, P., Tasseff, R., Isfort, R., Dicolandrea, T., Wei, X., Määttä, A., Karakesisoglou, I., Markiewicz, E., Bascom, C. C., & Przyborski, S. (2023). Quantitative morphometric analysis of intrinsic and extrinsic skin ageing in individuals with Fitzpatrick skin types II–III. Experimental Dermatology, 32(5), 620-631. https://doi.org/10.1111/exd.14754

Skin ageing is an intricate physiological process affected by intrinsic and extrinsic factors. There is a demand to understand how the skin changes with age and photoexposure in individuals with Fitzpatrick skin types I-III due to accelerated photoag...

Regulation of epidermal proliferation and hair follicle cycling by synthetic photostable retinoid EC23 (2023)
Journal Article
Määttä, A., Nixon, R., Robinson, N., Ambler, C. A., Goncalves, K., Maltman, V., & Przyborski, S. (2023). Regulation of epidermal proliferation and hair follicle cycling by synthetic photostable retinoid EC23. Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 22(5), https://doi.org/10.1111/jocd.15629

Background Retinoid signaling is an important regulator of the epidermis and skin appendages. Therefore, synthetic retinoids have been developed for therapeutic use for skin disorders such as psoriasis and acne. Aims In previous studies, we showed ho...
