Social progress at the expense of economic equality? New data on left parties' equality preferences
Abstract Have concerns about equal rights and equal chances crowded out economic equality as a priority of left parties? Despite the increased importance of inequality in political science, this contentiously fought debate has been standing on shaky empirical foundations.

Base metal mineralisation associated with Ordovician shales in south-west Scotland [PDF]
Several narrow, lenticular belts of black cherty mudstone and siltstone (the Moffat Shales), alternating with thick greywacke sequences, strike north-east to south-west across Galloway with uniformly steep dip.

Replacement reactions and deformation by dissolution and precipitation processes in amphibolites
The deformation of the middle to lower crust in collisional settings occurs via deformation mechanisms that vary with rock composition, fluid content, pressure, and temperature.

Structural analyses of ABA transporters give new impetus to the study of ABA regulation
Abscisic acid (ABA) regulates key physiological processes and coordinates abiotic stress responses. In the six decades since it was first described, a huge amount of work has been conducted on ABA synthesis, breakdown and signalling mechanisms. Recently, attention has been turned to the role of ABA transporters, and the elucidation in exquisite detail ...

Using Concept Maps to Plan an Introductory Structural Geology Course [PDF]
This report presents the results of incorporating constructivist methods, including concept maps, into an undergraduate structural geology curriculum. A concept map is a visual representation of concepts and their relationship to each other in a body of ...

Detection of mutations induced by CRISPR/Cas9 in cabbage protoplasts using qPCR and dPCR
This study evaluated two PCR‐based methods—qPCR and dPCR—for detecting CRISPR‐induced mutations in transformed cabbage protoplasts. Both methods distinguished edited from wild‐type protoplasts, offering rapid and cost‐efficient alternatives for mutation detection, with dPCR providing higher sensitivity and closer agreement with NGS results.

Mineral reconnaissance at the Highland boundary with special reference to the Loch Lomond and Aberfoyle areas [PDF]
Serpentinite bodies at the Highland Boundary in the Loch Lomond and Aberfoyle areas are extensively altered to magnesite-quartz and ferroan-dolomite-quartz rocks. Silicification was probably initiated before conversion to carbonate.

Abstract Kohl was ubiquitous in ancient Egypt and the Middle East, and routinely included among the toiletries deposited in burials. For Egypt, kohl recipes are increasingly well‐studied and known to use a range of inorganic and organic ingredients. Although these are often lead‐based, manganese‐ and silicon‐rich compounds are also attested.

Correlating magnetic fabrics with finite strain : comparing results from mudrocks in the Variscan and Appalachian Orogens [PDF]
New magnetic anisotropy data from Variscan mudstones collected in the Cantabrian Arc, N Spain constrain the corresponding strain (shortening). The results are based on our previous study of mudrocks from the Valley and Ridge Province (Appalachians) where

Three Spodumene Reference Materials for Oxygen Isotope Measurement by Ion Microprobe
Key Points Three spodumene reference materials were developed for SIMS oxygen isotope measurement. All three materials are homogeneous in oxygen isotopes. Crystal orientation has no effect on instrumental mass fractionation. This study reports on the development of three spodumene reference materials referred to as Curtin University (CU) Tri‐1, Kun‐A‐1
