Reply to Edgeworth et al. (2024): The Anthropocene Is a Time Interval, and More Besides

Earth's Future, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract The Anthropocene was introduced to denote a dramatic, ongoing, planetary shift from prolonged relative Holocene stability, driving the Earth system into a new functional state outside its natural variability. Now stratigraphically‐grounded, the Anthropocene is de facto a new epoch, not the subjective filtering of all anthropogenic impacts in ...

Plant‐Based Analogs: Potential Chemical Risks & Mitigation Strategies

Journal of Food Science, Volume 90, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Meat, dairy, and egg analogs are products designed to mimic the structural and sensorial properties of their animal counterparts. These analogs have been developed to address diverse nutritional requirements, dietary preferences, and ethical considerations, resulting in a substantial net growth in market share in recent years.

The History of the Panmictic Population Concept and Its Legacy in Contemporary Population Genetics

Annals of Human Genetics, Volume 89, Issue 5, Page 274-284, September 2025.
ABSTRACT The panmictic population concept is at the heart of population, evolutionary and conservation genetics. However, in nature, true panmictic populations are vanishingly rare. As an idea conceived for modelling evolutionary dynamics, it has been thought that the assumption of panmixia was formalised during the development of the Modern Synthesis.

Uniform Sampling of Surfaces by Casting Rays

Computer Graphics Forum, Volume 44, Issue 5, August 2025.
Abstract Randomly sampling points on surfaces is an essential operation in geometry processing. This sampling is computationally straightforward on explicit meshes, but it is much more difficult on other shape representations, such as widely‐used implicit surfaces. This work studies a simple and general scheme for sampling points on a surface, which is

Thou shalt not say "at random" in vain: Bertrand's paradox exposed

, 2018
We review the well known Bertrand paradoxes, and we first maintain that they do not point to any probabilistic inconsistency, but rather to the risks incurred with a careless use of the locution "at random".
