The Geoarchaeology of Agricultural Terraces in Europe: Construction, Resilience and Implications for Sediment Delivery

Geoarchaeology, Volume 40, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
ABSTRACT Although the primary purpose of agricultural terracing can be assumed to be food production, it has been suggested that a secondary purpose was the control of soil erosion. In this paper, we explore this thesis with multi‐proxy data from the TerrACE project, which studied 20 sites in a latitudinal transect across Europe.

The Structuring Role of Rhodolith Beds on Meiobenthic Communities in the Mediterranean Sea

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Rhodolith beds are globally distributed structurally complex habitats formed by the aggregation of unattached forms of non‐geniculate coralline red algae. They provide key ecosystem functions and services, supporting feeding, settlement and nursery provision for several species.

Late Ordovician ironstone and its relation to ocean redox instability, climate and glaciation

Sedimentology, Volume 72, Issue 2, Page 631-665, February 2025.
Abstract The Upper Ordovician (Katian) Neda Formation, a phosphatic ironstone, records a widespread but short‐lived shift to ferruginous waters across a vast epicontinental area. Lithofacies and stratigraphic reappraisal indicate that Neda ironstone deposition occurred on a storm‐dominated ramp when coastal upwelling emplaced eutrophic ferruginous ...

A 300 kyr record of past hydroclimate change from alluvial fans in the southern Central Andes

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 50, Issue 1, January 2025.
We dated alluvial‐fan deposits at the Sierra de Aconquija in northwestern Argentina. The alluvial fans aggraded and incised in phase with known hydroclimate changes throughout the last ~300 kyr. Abstract Alluvial fans are hypothesised to record signals of past hydroclimate changes in their depositional chronologies and slopes.

Using Radiogenic Noble Gas Nuclides to Identify and Characterize Rock Fracturing

Earth and Space Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Fracture‐released radiogenic noble gas nuclides are used to identify locations and constrain the volume of new fracture creation during subsurface detonations. Real‐time, in situ noble gases and reactive gases were monitored using a field‐deployed mass spectrometer and automated sampling system in a multilevel borehole array.

Present‐Day Shortening Accommodated by Folding, Thrusting and Strike‐Slip Faulting in the Enriquillo Basin of Southern Central Hispaniola: Implications for the Regional Seismic Hazard

Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Hispaniola accommodates a significant portion of the present‐day convergence between Caribbean and North American plates. Located in southern Hispaniola, the Neogene Enriquillo basin is bounded by the Neiba and Bahoruco mountain ranges. The role of active individual faults and fault systems in this basin is not well understood, particularly ...

Serpentinite–Sediment Associations: Provenance Controlled by Competing Extensional–Contractional Tectonic Processes During the Evolution of the Northern Apennines (Eastern Elba Island, Tuscany)

Basin Research, Volume 37, Issue 1, January–February 2025.
ABSTRACT Orogenic wedges juxtapose tectonic units that originated far from each other, and tracing these back to their origin is often difficult. We have studied two contrasting serpentinite–sediment associations of the Alpine‐Apennine orogenic wedge of eastern Elba Island with the help of a detrital zircon study of the sediments and a geochemical ...

Towards a new generation of fluvial facies models for the interpretation of ancient deposits, based on inter‐annual peak discharge variance of modern rivers

Sedimentology, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 275-329, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Fluvial facies models based on river planform are flawed and not fully fit for purpose. An alternative approach to classifying fluvial deposits is based on river discharge characteristics. A recent paper showed that the co‐efficient of variance of annual peak discharge (CVQp) correlates well with the characteristics of preserved alluvium for a

Effect of the 5:2 Diet on Weight Loss and Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors in Overweight and/or Obesity: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

International Journal of Endocrinology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Introduction: We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis to evaluate the effects of the 5:2 diet on weight loss and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in overweight and obese individuals. Methods: Databases (PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase) were searched for randomized controlled trials of the intervention effects of

Reduced Muscle Fatigue Using Continuous Subthreshold Kilohertz Stimulation of Peripheral Nerves [PDF]

arXiv
Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is a prevalent technique commonly used to activate muscles in individuals with neurological disorders. Traditional FES strategies predominantly utilize low-frequency (LF) stimulation, which evokes synchronous action potentials, leading to rapid muscle fatigue.
