The Soil Erosion Paradox Re‐Examined: Alluviation and Land Use History in a Small British Lowland River Catchment in the Late Holocene

Geoarchaeology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Modern studies show that soil erosion results in a loss of ecosystem function, particularly fertility, and is a cause of declining agricultural yields. However, despite the well‐attested high rates of soil erosion across Roman and medieval Europe there appears to have been little or no soil‐associated decline in agricultural production—the ...

Optimizing working space in laparoscopy: CT-measurement of the effect of neuromuscular blockade and its reversal in a porcine model [PDF]

, 2015
Objective: The objective of this paper was to determine the effect of neuromuscular blockade (NMB) on working space in a porcine laparoscopy model. Background: Conflicting results on the effect of NMB on laparoscopic working space are found in literature.

Insights into temporal earthquake clustering from the Settlement Fault, southeastern Otago, Aotearoa New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 747-772, December 2025.
ABSTRACT We combine previous studies, fieldwork, lidar data, and trenching to examine late Quaternary activity of the SE‐dipping ≥23 km long Settlement Fault in the southeastern South Island. Trenching of a scarp crossing a small alluvial fan exposed a > 3 m thick sequence of folded sandy to silty fan alluvium.

Text and Topos: British Travellers to Real‐and‐Imagined Classical Sites, c. 1560–1820

History, Volume 110, Issue 393, Page 588-605, December 2025.
Abstract Early‐modern British travellers to the Mediterranean often understood their journeys through the lens of classical texts and culture. Historians sometimes explain this as an imaginative phenomenon: travellers’ preconceptions shaped by classical knowledge guided their subsequent comprehension and activity.

Changes in Tinnitus by Cochlear Implantation:A Parametric Study of the Effect of Single-Electrode Stimulation [PDF]

, 2021
Introduction: While cochlear implantation may have a positive effect on tinnitus, it is not effective in reducing tinnitus in all patients. This may be due to different patients requiring different strategies of electrical stimulation in order to obtain ...

Vestibular inputs to premotor interneurons in the feline C1-C2 spinal cord [PDF]

, 2005
The resting length of respiratory muscles must be altered during changes in posture in order to maintain stable ventilation. Prior studies showed that although the vestibular system contributes to these adjustments in respiratory muscle activity, the ...
