Mesoscale dynamics of cyclone Leslie (2018): A diagnostic analysis of a rare Iberian landfall
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.This study presents a successful numerical simulation of cyclone Leslie (2018), using WRF‐ARW v4.5.1. Several mesoscale dynamics were identified indicative of the occurrence of sting jet and cold conveyor belt, which potentiated the record‐breaking winds in central Portugal.

Validation of the concavity–convexity quotient as a new method to measure the magnitude of scoliosis
Journal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine, 2020 Objectives: We propose a novel and simple method to determine the magnitude of the curve in scoliosis and its correlation with the Cobb angle. Methods: Using multiple rounds of nominal group technique and an established consensus-building methodology, a ...

Accounting for Friendlessness: Stigma and the Quest for an Honorable Self
Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.How do people who identify as friendless make sense of their condition in a moment when friendship is extolled for the support and satisfaction it offers? This article draws on interviews with 21 adults in an Atlantic Canadian city. We argue that our interviewees were rarely at ease with their friendlessness and were at pains to recover an honorable ...
