fastbioclim: An R package for creating custom‐time bioclimatic and derived environmental summary variables

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Bioclimatic variables, widely used in ecological and biogeographical studies, are typically derived from 30‐year averages of monthly data (e.g. 1971–2000). Unfortunately, the use of these long‐term averaged variables often creates a temporal mismatch with the observational data collected, which potentially undermines how environmental ...

Measurement of a Metallicity Gradient in a z=2 Galaxy: Implications for Inside-Out Assembly Histories

, 2010
We present near-infrared imaging spectroscopy of the strongly-lensed z=2.00 galaxy SDSS J120601.69+514227.8 (`the Clone arc'). Using OSIRIS on the Keck 2 telescope with laser guide star adaptive optics, we achieve resolved spectroscopy with 0.20 ...

The Myth of Osiris in William Golding’s Lord of the Flies and the Inadequacy of Scientific Humanism

Transcript: An e-Journal of Literary and Cultural Studies
This paper explores William Golding’s Lord of the Flies (1954) through the lens of the author’s profound interest in ancient Egypt and the Osiris myth, as articulated in his travelogue An Egyptian Journal. Golding’s fascination with Plutarch’s account of

Common volume satellite studies of polar mesospheric clouds with Odin/OSIRIS tomography and AIM/CIPS nadir imaging [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2019
Two important approaches for satellite studies of polar mesospheric clouds (PMCs) are nadir measurements adapting phase function analysis and limb measurements adapting spectroscopic analysis.

The GTC exoplanet transit spectroscopy survey. VI. A spectrally-resolved Rayleigh scattering slope in GJ 3470b

, 2017
Aims. As a sub-Uranus-mass low-density planet, GJ 3470b has been found to show a flat featureless transmission spectrum in the infrared and a tentative Rayleigh scattering slope in the optical. We conducted an optical transmission spectroscopy project to

Iron Ore Pricing in China: Financialization Through a Marxist Lens

Abacus, EarlyView.
We offer a Marxist interpretation of financialization as we examine the Chinese market for iron ore and the shift in the pricing mechanism from an annual fixed price to an indexed price from 2010. Drawing upon Marx's theory of the circuit of capital, we illustrate an empirical case of financialization that results from the conflict between social ...

Five‐Grass‐Pollen Sublingual Immunotherapy Drops Are Efficacious and Well Tolerated in Adults: The RHAPSODY Phase III Trial

Allergy, EarlyView.
The RHAPSODY multinational study investigated 26 months of continuous treatment with 5‐grass‐pollen sublingual SLIT drops in adults with moderate‐to‐severe grass‐pollen‐induced allergic rhinoconjunctivitis. The primary efficacy endpoint (the average daily total combined score) showed statistically significant differences in favour of the active ...

Effect of volcanic aerosol on stratospheric NO₂ and N₂O₅ from 2002–2014 as measured by Odin-OSIRIS and Envisat-MIPAS [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2017
Following the large volcanic eruptions of Pinatubo in 1991 and El Chichón in 1982, decreases in stratospheric NO2 associated with enhanced aerosol were observed.

The Nature of Christian Doctrine: A Conversation with My Critics

International Journal of Systematic Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract This article opens with a brief account of the six main themes of The Nature of Christian Doctrine, noting in particular the role of the early church as an ‘epistemic community’ of knowledge production, and the significant and helpful parallels between the modern scientific tool of ‘inference to the best explanation’ and early Christian ...
