The Gaussian-Drude Lens: A Dusty Plasma Model Applicable to Observations Across the Electromagnetic Spectrum

Universe
When radiation from a background source passes through a cloud of cold plasma, diverging lensing occurs if the source and observer are well-aligned. Unlike gravitational lensing, plasma lensing is dispersive, increasing in strength with wavelength.

THE URBANOLOGISTS COME TO TOWN: Professional Life and Work in the Urban Solutions Industry

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This article charts the upsurge of an eclectic global community of professionals new to the field of urban policy and governance, animated by playful and celebratory attitudes towards cities and urbanization: the urbanologists. It contributes to debates in critical urban theory and critical ethnographies of technology to problematize ...

The Ties That Rhyme: Duality in Symbolic and Structural Networks of Grime Music

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Do birds of a feather really sing together? Musicians face two competing pressures in the pursuit of success: conforming to genre norms to meet audience expectations and distinguishing themselves to attract the attention of listeners. These opposing logics may shape how artists choose their collaborators.

Domain Adaptation in Application to Gravitational Lens Finding

The Astrophysical Journal
The next decade is expected to see a tenfold increase in the number of strong gravitational lenses, driven by new wide-field imaging surveys. To discover these rare objects, efficient automated detection methods need to be developed.

Bubbling saddles of the gravitational index

SciPost Physics
We consider the five-dimensional supergravity path integral that computes a supersymmetric index, and uncover a wealth of semiclassical saddles with bubbling topology.

A Novel Multidisciplinary Approach for Reptile Movement and Behavior Analysis

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We present a novel multidisciplinary approach capable of advancing research on reptiles’ behavior. Our approach uses integrated tools and methods for the digitization, reconstruction, and visualization of reptiles and their behavior. We (i) record movement through tri‐axial accelerometers, video cameras, and motion capture systems; (ii) ground‐truth ...

Cosmography with the Double-source-plane Strong Gravitational Lens AGEL150745+052256

The Astrophysical Journal
Strong gravitational lenses with two background sources at widely separated redshifts are a promising independent probe of cosmological parameters. We can use these systems, known as double-source-plane lenses (DSPLs), to measure the ratio ( β ) of ...

Change in migrants’ political attitudes: Acculturation and cosmopolitanization

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper investigates change in international migrants’ political attitudes. It theorizes a novel attitudinal typology distinguishing polity‐specific attitudes influenced by national contexts and transnational attitudes forged by migratory experience. It applies the typology to four dimensions of political competition in contemporary Europe:

Aspirations‐Capabilities of School‐to‐Work Transition in a Migratory Context: A Case of Thai Tertiary‐Level Migrants in Taiwan

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article explores aspirations‐capabilities of Thai migrants who transitioned from tertiary education to employment in Taiwan. Drawing on semi‐structured interviews with 23 Thai migrants, this study unpacks three distinct mobility trajectories under a processual perspective.
