Principal Component‐Based Classification of Blazar Candidates of Uncertain Type in the 4FGL/LAT
ABSTRACT We adopted principal component analysis (PCA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), and support vector machines (SVM), to study classification for a sample of 2708 Fermi blazars: 1142 BL Lac objects (BLLs), 759 flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs), and 807 blazar candidates of uncertain type (BCUs).

The Preprint Evolution: The Rise of Unreviewed Drafts on arXiv and Its Implications for Astronomy
ABSTRACT The arXiv preprint server originally democratized astronomical research by removing the financial barriers of journal subscriptions. However, a system designed for the lower publication volumes of the 1990s has fractured under modern research output. Today, the sheer volume of unreviewed manuscripts—often tagged as “submitted,” “under review,”

The absence of women's scientific contributions in core UK pre‐university science qualifications
Abstract Despite their groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of the natural world and the universe, women's roles in biology, chemistry, physics, astronomy, environmental science and geology remain largely absent from standard educational specifications in the United Kingdom (UK), particularly at Key Stage 4 (KS4) and Key Stage 5 (KS5), or ...

ABSTRACT The last five years of research on sustainability labelling, reported in 175 journal articles, documents its effectiveness in increasing consumer choices of more sustainable food products. Some sustainability labels come out as stronger than others and their impact varies across products, countries, and individual consumers, depending on label
