Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand
Loess in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) has been studied since its first documented recognition (on Banks Peninsula) in 1878 by Julius von Haast. A decade later, John Hardcastle revealed that southern ANZ loess was both glacial in origin and contained signals of past climates.

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

Holocene sea‐level and environmental changes on the Isle of Mull, Scotland
ABSTRACT Sea‐level and coastal changes are reconstructed on the Isle of Mull, western Scotland, from 10 988 to 10 507 cal BP to the present. This research has produced the first SLIP for the Isle of Mull. A multiproxy approach including pollen, spore, foraminifera and diatom analyses reveals palaeoenvironmental changes from two coastal sites.

Observations on the intertidal barnacles (Cirripedia: Balanomorpha) at Fossil Island, Tasman Peninsula: physical tolerances, orientation and fertilisation [PDF]
Six species of barnacle are found intertidally at Fossil Island. Tolerances of the species to desiccation and temperature could be related to their position on the shore.

Glacial erosion during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) has removed much evidence of earlier glaciations and interglacials in the European Alps. At Gröbminger Mitterberg (GM), beneath a blanket of LGM till, a distinctive sediment archive preserves deposits predating the LGM.

Short‐Term Effect of Different Agronomic Managements on Soil Carbon Fractions Content
ABSTRACT This research investigates the short‐term impact of different agricultural management strategies on soil organic matter (SOM), focusing on particulate organic matter (POM) and mineral‐associated organic matter (MAOM). The study assessed the effects of organic fertilisation (compost vs.

ABSTRACT Among the various theories of categorization, Eleanor Rosch's prototype theory stands out as both influential and contested. In contrast to the classical theory of concepts, prototype theory posits that humans conceptualize the world using category structures where exemplars vary in their degree of membership.

Critical Slowing Down Reveals Hydrologic Resilience Loss Across Amazon Sub‐Basins
Abstract The Amazon's hydroclimate exhibits basin‐scale early‐warning signals of critical slowing down (CSD), a statistical signature of declining resilience as systems approach critical transitions. We apply a multi‐metric framework to precipitation, evapotranspiration, Soil moisture (SM), and extreme streamflows, tracking rolling variance, lag‐1 ...
