Measurements of the differential production cross-sections of prompt and non-prompt J/ψ and ψ(2S) mesons with transverse momenta between 8 and 360 GeV and rapidity in the range |y|

Most migratory birds return every year to the same breeding sites and some species show a similarly high fidelity to wintering grounds as well. Fidelity to stopover sites during migration has been much less studied and is usually found to be lower. Here, we investigate site fidelity and distance to previously visited sites throughout the annual cycle in the common cuckoo, a nocturnal trans-Saharan

Background: The Score Committee of the European Foot and Ankle Society (EFAS) developed, validated, and published the EFAS Score in 13 languages. Currently, the Danish version completed data acquisition and underwent further validation. Methods: The data were collected pre-operatively and post-operatively at a minimum follow-up of 3 months and mean follow-up of 6 months. Item reduction, scale expl

Recent studies have highlighted that dead fungal mycelium represents an important fraction of soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) inputs and stocks. Consequently, identifying the microbial communities and the ecological factors that govern the decomposition of fungal necromass will provide critical insight into how fungal organic matter (OM) affects forest soil C and nutrient cycles. Here, we examine

One of the aims of PhD students’ socialisation is for them to accept the norms of the teaching culture and to be fully engaged with and accepted by the university teaching community. However, when PhD students enter universities, they do not necessarily accept all of the university teaching community’s cultural norms, nor do they all experience acceptance by the community. This phenomenographic st

Background: Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can cross the placenta and thereby expose the fetus, which may lead to developmental consequences. It is still unclear which chemicals are of concern regarding neurodevelopment and specifically behaviour, when being exposed to a mixture. Objective: The objective is to determine associations between prenatal exposure to EDCs and behavioural difficul

Seeleyosaurus guilelmiimperatoris is an early-diverging plesiosauroid from the lower Toarcian (Lower Jurassic) of the Posidonienschiefer Formation (Posidonia Shale) of Holzmaden, southwestern Germany. It is known from almost complete skeletons of two osteologically mature individuals, the holotype and a referred specimen that was largely destroyed during World War II. Although well-preserved and s

In this article, we propose a restricted gamma ridge regression estimator (RGRRE) by combining the gamma ridge regression (GRR) and restricted maximum likelihood estimator (RMLE) to combat multicollinearity problem for estimating the parameter (Formula presented.) in the gamma regression model. The properties of the new estimator are discussed, and its superiority over the GRR, RMLE and traditiona

We introduce the special issue, ‘Trust in and through Academic Development’, which includes papers and reflections written by 26 authors from seven different countries. These collected papers demonstrate that trust-building is an integral part of academic developers’ practice, serving as an anchor in uncertain and turbulent times. Based on the research presented in this issue and elsewhere, we def

The node of Ranvier is the key element in saltatory conduction along myelinated axons, but its specific protein organization remains elusive in the human species. To shed light on nanoscale anatomy of the human node of Ranvier in health and disease, we assessed human nerve biopsies of patients with polyneuropathy by super-resolution fluorescence microscopy. We applied direct stochastic optical rec

Brent geese, Branta bernicia hrota, were equipped with satellite transmitters on a spring stop-over site in Iceland. The brent geese deposit heavy fuel reserves for long-distance flights across the high Greenland ice-cap to breeding destinations in north Canada. Satellite tracking of brent geese on this journey serves the twofold purpose of testing specific predictions about: (i) size-dependent po
