UCanWBGT: urban street canyon heat stress calculation for weather and climate models

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This work introduces UCanWBGT, a new model to calculate wet‐bulb globe temperature in an urban environment, suitable for use with weather and climate model data. We present the model, then verify its performance against observations made in the streets of Paris during heatwave conditions.

Detection of blueshifted emission and absorption and a relativistic Iron line in the X-ray spectrum of ESO 323-G077

, 2008
We report on the X-ray observation of the Seyfert 1 ESO323-G077 performed with XMM-Newton. The spectra show a complex spectrum with conspicuous absorption and emission features.

Global determinants of home range sizes in felids: Evidence of human disturbance impact

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study is the first to demonstrate the influence of anthropogenic factors and species richness in felids on home range size across the entire felid taxon. Felids are a taxon of major interest in conservation biology, and gaining a comprehensive view of their spatial ecology will help derive global conservation recommendations.

Measuring MAN (incorporating JRAI): Computational anthropological analysis and quantitative speculation

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Abstract In this paper, we present a foray into the computational study of anthropological texts. Drawing on a corpus of approximately 2,500 articles published in the Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute (formerly Man) from 1950 to 2018, we discuss selected findings from the deployment of two methods for computational text analysis, namely ...

Numerical Modelling of the Acoustic Pressure Inside an Axisymmetric Lined Flow Duct

Archives of Acoustics, 2013
Numerical methods are mostly used to predict the acoustic pressure inside duct systems. In this paper, the development of a numerical method based on the convected Helmholtz equation to compute the acoustic pressure inside an axisymmetric duct is ...

Women's sense of their hak, divine justice, and economies of divorce in Istanbul Sens du hak des femmes, justice divine et économies du divorce à Istanbul

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Building on life story interviews with Muslim women – divorced and living in Istanbul – this article traces women's evocations of hak (haqq, , right) and other related terms in their narratives about financial arrangements during divorce proceedings. Mainly denoting right, justice, truth and due, the polysemic notion of hak encompasses a complex set of

Description and simulation of physics of Resistive Plate Chambers

, 2016
Monte-Carlo simulation of physical processes is an important tool for detector development as it allows to predict signal pulse amplitude and timing, time resolution, efficiency ... Yet despite the fact they are very common, full simulations for RPC-like

Closeness and disappointment in Jordanian friendships Proximité et déception en amitié en Jordanie

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Western folk models of friendship assume that friends like one another, implying mutually positive feelings. However, accounts of friendship from across times and places suggest that disappointment goes along with friendship as often as mutual affection.

Ontological polyglossia: the art of communicating in opacity* Polyglossie ontologique : l'art de communiquer dans l'opacité

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
What do communicating with a baby, with an animal, and with an ancestor have in common? In all three cases, people engage in opaque communication that is far from the standard psycholinguistic model of transparent interaction based on shared intentionality.
