New pulsating stars detected in EA-type eclipsing binary systems based on TESS data

Pulsating stars in eclipsing binaries are very important to understand stellar interior structures through astroseismology because their absolute parameters such as the masses and radii can be determined in high precision based on photometric and ...

Punchline with(out) purpose: Integrating research on instructional humour and seductive details

British Journal of Educational Psychology, Volume 96, Issue 3, Page 1272-1296, September 2026.
Abstract Introduction We integrated research on instructional humour and seductive details to investigate when affiliative course‐related humour is effective or rather ineffective for learning. We assumed that instructional humour without a cognitive function (irrelevant humour) would have detrimental effects on learning performance resembling the ...

The selective degradation of PDE4B shortform, using a PROTAC, leads to inhibition of several hallmarks of cancer in HCT116 cells

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 18, Page 5516-5540, September 2026.
Background and Purpose Colorectal cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide, and novel precision medicine approaches are rapidly improving patient outcomes. Phosphodiesterase 4B (PDE4B) is a member of an enzyme family (PDE4) that hydrolyses intracellular cAMP to control spatial and temporal signalling cues.

Climatic Niche Breadth Predicts Invasion Success at the Transport Stage in Ants

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Identifying traits that predispose species to successfully invade environments is key to predicting future invaders. A large climatic niche breadth in the native range has been hypothesized to increase invasion success elsewhere. Previous investigations of this hypothesis have mostly focused on a single stage of the invasion process, often

Ephemeral Lives Versus Colonial Afterlives: Building Decolonial Urbanisms Through Two African Culture Festivals in Athens

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 51, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper examines how African migrantised and diasporic communities in Athens contest the city's dominant colonial imaginary through cultural festival practice. We argue that Athens has been constructed as a racialised chronotope: a frozen, whitened tableau anchored in classical antiquity that renders contemporary racialised presences ...

Bias Correction Can Strongly Shape California's Projected Megaflood Risk

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract A California “megaflood”—a weeks‐long cluster of storms with centuries‐long return times—would be catastrophic, yet its timing and magnitude under climate change remains uncertain. A central source of uncertainty is whether Earth System Model boundary conditions should be bias corrected before dynamical downscaling.
