Self‐Similar Blowup for the Cubic Schrödinger Equation
ABSTRACT We give a rigorous proof for the existence of a finite‐energy, self‐similar solution to the focusing cubic Schrödinger equation in three spatial dimensions. The proof is computer‐assisted and relies on a fixed point argument that shows the existence of a solution in the vicinity of a numerically constructed approximation.

Unlocking Urban Climate Change Analysis in Global Kilometer‐Scale Climate Simulations
Abstract Coupled multi‐decadal global km‐scale simulations completed in recent years open new perspectives in the investigation and understanding of urban climate change. This study introduces a generic method for extracting urban areas and their rural references worldwide and validates it on hourly timescales with remote‐sensing observations of land ...

When a nuclear weapon is detonated in a region with sufficient fuel loading, the resulting firestorm can lift soot into the stratosphere, where it disperses globally over a few weeks. The soot, or black carbon, blocks sunlight, decreasing temperature and precipitation and depleting ozone.

Footholds for pioneers: How geomorphic features accelerate early marsh assembly
Abstract Ecosystem transitions from bare to vegetated states often stall at early stages, before the biogeomorphic feedbacks needed for further expansion take hold. In aquatic systems, this bottleneck is especially common where inundation and hydrodynamic conditions may impose strong abiotic filters on pioneer establishment.

Retaining Models of Human Evolution After Repeated Falsifications—Why?
Two 19th century paradigms of human evolution emerged: Humans are subdivided into isolated populations in an evolutionary tree, versus human populations interbreed (gene flow) with no isolates. The tree model has been rejected whenever tested since the 1970's, whereas gene flow consistently fits.

Gendered (Im)mobilities in the Sundarbans: Everyday Strategies in a Changing Landscape
ABSTRACT This study investigates how women who remain in their communities navigate the intersecting demands of caregiving and livelihood responsibilities amid environmental and social pressures. Grounded in Feminist Political Ecology, it examines the everyday experiences of women in the Sundarbans—a region marked by ecological vulnerability and socio ...

ABSTRACT This article examines what becomes possible for interpretive literacy research when time is treated not as a neutral backdrop but as a central problematic. We argue that research does not merely trace temporal sequences; it actively creates temporalities that shape what becomes sensible, thinkable, and sayable within literacy studies.

Building Bridges: Five Sociocultural Practices for Reading Comprehension
ABSTRACT This article argues that decades of research provide robust evidence for a sociocultural approach to teaching reading comprehension, yet implementation of this approach has been slow and uneven. The sociocultural approach situates students' cultural, linguistic, and personal knowledge at the heart of their meaning making with texts.

Transformative Learning and Participatory Approaches With Youth: A Discussion on Distinctions
ABSTRACT Since the 1990s, participatory approaches have been regarded as effective and ethical in research and policy work involving children and youth. Recently, the term ‘transformation’ has gained traction in Childhood Studies. This article explores Transformative Learning (TL) methodology, which was introduced in the 1970s for adult education but ...
