ABSTRACT Meeting the needs of young people affected by sexual exploitation, alongside other forms of extra‐familial harm, remains a challenge for social workers, youth workers and other professionals responsible for their safety and well‐being. This paper proposes that to more effectively create safety with/for young people, we must re‐examine how we ...

Field frost heave predictions using the segregation potential concept
The Konrad–Morgenstern theory of frost heave using the segregation potential concept is briefly outlined, and the method of predicting frost heave under field conditions is reviewed. A recent paper by Nixon et al.

Mathematical model of the zebrafish ventricular cardiomyocyte action potential and calcium transient
Abstract figure legend This study presents the development and validation of the first biophysically detailed computational model of the zebrafish ventricular action potential (AP). The model is based on a human cardiomyocyte framework and reparameterized using published and newly generated patch‐clamp recordings of zebrafish ionic currents.

Warming summers limit reindeer grazing, weakening herbivory pressure in the mountain tundra
Climate change is predicted to alter species interactions by exposing ecosystems to increasingly frequent and intense warm spells. In the mountain tundra, grazing by large herbivores, particularly reindeer, can limit shrub expansion and preserve Arctic plant diversity.

An integrated experimental-numerical frost heave prediction model
Structural and geotechnical designs of some civil engineering structures require a prediction of potential frost heave. The present study is a novel approach which combines the experimental technique and numerical modelling to predict frost heave more ...

Vegetation on the move: elevational shifts and greening dynamics across the Himalayan alpine zone
This study investigates alpine ‘vegetation line' (the upper limit of continuous plant community) dynamics in the Himalayan alpine zone (HAZ) over a 24‐year timescale (1999–2022) using maximum NDVI products derived from Landsat series datasets, adjusted for sampling bias using phenological modelling.

We present ground surface movements on sorted circles in a karst cave using time‐lapse photogrammetry with accuracies of up to ±2 mm. Data with 3‐hourly resolution revealed average vertical movements of up to 50 mm and horizontal movements of up to 15 mm during individual freeze–thaw cycles.
