Rapid genotyping of Toxoplasma gondii isolates via Nanopore-based multi-locus sequencing (2024)
Journal Article

Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite associated with severe disease, especially in the immunosuppressed. It is also a cause of congenital malformation and abortion in both animals and humans and is considered one of the most import...

Antony of Tagrit and the progymnasmata: Towards a Syriac rhetorical theory in the Abbasid Era (2024)
Journal Article

This paper investigates the engagement with Greek progymnasmata exercises shown by the first rhetorical handbook in Syriac: Antony of Tagrit’s On Rhetoric (ninth century). Despite lacking any specific reference to progymnastic authors or texts and ha... Read More about Antony of Tagrit and the progymnasmata: Towards a Syriac rhetorical theory in the Abbasid Era.

Gaspard de Monconys’ Defence against the Charge of Imposture: Criminal Justice, Social Hierarchy, and Personal Identity in Early Seventeenth-Century France (2024)
Journal Article

This article analyses a remarkable criminal trial which took place in early seventeenth-century France. In 1617, Gaspard de Monconys, son of a prominent judge in Lyon, was accused of committing sacrilege and theft in the basilica of Saint-Denis, and...

Eschatological naturalism and ecological responsibility: Troubling some assumptions (2024)
Journal Article

The connection between ecological responsibility and differing conceptions of Christian eschatology is widely observed. It is often assumed that the necessary response to Christian environmental inaction is affirmation of a strongly this-worldly visi...

Youth justice and social harm: Towards a ‘theory of the good’ (2024)
Journal Article

This article seeks to develop a distinctive conceptual framework for the purpose of (re)imagining progressive youth justice. We begin by utilising zemiological insights to relate the widely recognised impacts of neoliberalism to the social harms asso...

A new interpretation of Pikaia reveals the origins of the chordate body plan. (2024)
Journal Article

Our understanding of the evolutionary origin of Chordata, one of the most disparate and ecologically significant animal phyla, is hindered by a lack of unambiguous stem-group relatives. Problematic Cambrian fossils that have been considered as candid... Read More about A new interpretation of Pikaia reveals the origins of the chordate body plan..

Phenol is its own selectivity promoter in low-temperature liquid-phase hydrogenation (2024)
Journal Article

Phenol hydrogenation is widely studied for selective production of the chemical intermediate cyclohexanone. A plethora of studies in the literature have reported catalysts aiming to achieve high selectivity compared to Pd/C. However, we demonstrate t...

Global shortfalls in documented actions to conserve biodiversity (2024)
Journal Article

Threatened species are by definition species that are in need of assistance. In the absence of suitable conservation interventions, they are likely to disappear soon1. There is limited understanding of how and where conservation interventions are app... Read More about Global shortfalls in documented actions to conserve biodiversity.

Coming in from the cold: Addressing the challenges experienced by women conducting remote polar fieldwork (2024)
Journal Article

Remote fieldwork is an important component of polar research across both physical and social sciences. There is increasing recognition that the inherent logistical, physical, psychological, and interpersonal challenges of remote polar fieldwork are n...

Generative invertible quantum neural networks (2024)
Journal Article

Invertible Neural Networks (INN) have become established tools for the simulation and generation of highly complex data. We propose a quantum-gate algorithm for a Quantum Invertible Neural Network (QINN) and apply it to the LHC data of jet-associated... Read More about Generative invertible quantum neural networks.

Post-Romantic Relations: Percy Bysshe Shelley and Emily Brontё (2024)
Journal Article

Across a series of essays and articles published between 2007 and 2012, Michael O’Neill placed Emily Brontë in “productive commerce” with her Romantic forebears, spotlighting Percy Bysshe Shelley (2010; O’Neill 636). The argument that follows profits... Read More about Post-Romantic Relations: Percy Bysshe Shelley and Emily Brontё.

Changes in primary visual and auditory cortex of blind and sighted adults following 10 weeks of click-based echolocation training (2024)
Journal Article

Recent work suggests that the adult human brain is very adaptable when it comes to sensory processing. In this context, it has also been suggested that structural “blueprints” may fundamentally constrain neuroplastic change, e.g. in response to senso...

Verbal semantic expertise is associated with reduced functional connectivity between left and right anterior temporal lobes (2024)
Journal Article

The left and right anterior temporal lobes (ATLs) encode semantic representations. They show graded hemispheric specialization in function, with the left ATL contributing preferentially to verbal semantic processing. We investigated the cognitive cor...

Line defect half-indices of SU(N) Chern-Simons theories (2024)
Journal Article

We study the Wilson line defect half-indices of 3d N = 2 supersymmetric SU(N) Chern-Simons theories of level k ≤ – N with Neumann boundary conditions for the gauge fields, together with 2d Fermi multiplets and fundamental 3d chiral multiplets to canc...

Strong gravitational lensing’s ‘external shear’ is not shear (2024)
Journal Article

The distribution of mass in galaxy-scale strong gravitational lenses is often modelled as an elliptical power-law plus ‘external shear’, which notionally accounts for neighbouring galaxies and cosmic shear along our line of sight. A small amount of e... Read More about Strong gravitational lensing’s ‘external shear’ is not shear.

Microlensing signatures of extended dark objects using machine learning (2024)
Journal Article

This paper presents a machine learning-based method for the detection of the unique gravitational microlensing signatures of extended dark objects, such as boson stars, axion miniclusters and subhalos. We adapt MicroLIA, a machine learning-based pack... Read More about Microlensing signatures of extended dark objects using machine learning.
