The keys to the garden: Capital, class, and the repurposing of Persian mystical poetry in Los Angeles

Journal of Linguistic Anthropology, Volume 36, Issue 3, December 2026.
Abstract This article traces the social life of medieval Persian poetry as it is repurposed within Los Angeles's Iranian diaspora. Based on 5 years of immersive ethnography in private erfān classes and mystical assemblies, I argue these gatherings function as contemporary diasporic courts, mobilizing core texts within a spiritual marketplace structured

Past, present and future of local crop evolution

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1989-2004, November 2026.
Promoting agrobiodiversity is a promising strategy for mitigating the negative effects of climate change on global food security. We highlight the central role evolutionary processes play in harnessing the potential of local crops by integrating genomics, archaeology, ethnobotany and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK).

A Cosmic Test of Schiff’s Conjecture via the Dipole of the Two-point Correlation Function

The Astrophysical Journal
Schiff’s conjecture posits that any consistent theory of gravity satisfying the weak equivalence principle (WEP) must also satisfy the Einstein equivalence principle (EEP), implying a metric theory of gravity.

Response function of the large-scale structure of the universe to the small scale inhomogeneities

Physics Letters B, 2016
In order to infer the impact of the small-scale physics to the large-scale properties of the universe, we use a series of cosmological N-body simulations of self-gravitating matter inhomogeneities to measure, for the first time, the response function of ...

Extrinsic Limitations of Stealthy Hyperuniform Devices

Advanced Optical Materials, Volume 14, Issue 37, 9 October 2026.
Stealthy hyperuniform devices exhibit a scattering‐free angular region whose extent follows a simple quenching equation. Experimental measurements confirm this prediction but reveal quenching efficiencies far below theoretical expectations. Multiple scattering and finite‐size effects are quantified, establishing realistic performance limits for ...

Type Ia Supernova Growth-rate Measurement with LSST Simulations: Intrinsic Scatter Systematics

The Astrophysical Journal
Measurement of the growth rate of structures ( fσ _8 ) with Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) will improve our understanding of the nature of dark energy and enable tests of general relativity. In this paper, we generate simulations of the 10 yr SN Ia data set

Decoupling glacier retreat and surface stabilization on the Snežnik Plateau (Slovenia), insights from in situ cosmogenic 36Cl exposure and depth‐profile ages

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 7, Page 1060-1077, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Glaciokarst landscapes pose distinctive challenges for cosmogenic dating because meltwater and runoff can be rapidly rerouted into ponors and conduit networks, weakening glacier–river coupling and promoting local sediment storage. We reconstruct glacier retreat and postglacial stabilization on the Snežnik Plateau (SW Slovenia) using in situ ...

Quijote-PNG: Optimizing the Summary Statistics to Measure Primordial Non-Gaussianity

The Astrophysical Journal
We apply a suite of different estimators to the Quijote-png halo catalogs to find the best approach to constrain Primordial non-Gaussianity (PNG) at nonlinear cosmological scales, up to ${k}_{\max }=0.5\,h\,{\mathrm{Mpc}}^{-1}$ .
