Deciphering transitions within ice–debris complexes in the Northern Tien Shan through surface characteristics and internal structure

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 5, May 2026.
Geophysical (GPR and ERT) data reveal a transition from buried glacial ice to an ice–debris mixture within ice–debris complexes in Kazakhstan; this transition is reflected in surface morphological and kinematic characteristics. We identify some relationships between internal ice content and associated surface kinematics but caution against ...

Stable Carbon and Nitrogen Isotope Analysis Explores Diverse Domestic Goose Management Practices in Medieval and Postmedieval Russia

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 36, Issue 3, Page 537-553, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Studying goose domestication through archaeological finds has been challenging due to the similar skeletal morphology of the European domestic goose and its wild progenitor, the greylag goose (Anser anser). We analyzed stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotopes from bone collagen of subfossil domestic and potentially domestic geese to ...

Comparative Genomics Provide Insights Into Karyotype Evolution in Vespertilionid Bats (Vespertilionidae, Chiroptera)

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Studies elucidating the molecular basis and evolutionary consequences of karyotypic changes in mammals remain scarce. Here, we investigate chromosomal evolution by focusing on two contrasting lineages within the family Vespertilionidae (Chiroptera): the karyotypically variable tribe Pipistrellini and the highly conserved genus Myotis ...

Plants for Wild Bees—Field Records in Bulgaria

Diversity
One of the eight shortfalls in European wild bee data is the knowledge of the flowering plants they favor. This knowledge is of particular importance for bee gardens and wildflower strips initiatives aiming to provide forage for the wild bees. The aim of

Impurity-induced modulation of terahertz waves in optically excited GaAs

AIP Advances, 2017
The effect of the photoinduced absorption of terahertz (THz) radiation in a semi-insulating GaAs crystal is studied by pulsed THz transmission spectroscopy.

Searching for Rotational X‐Ray Modulation on TIC 277539431

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT TIC 277539431, a fast rotating M7 dwarf, was detected to host the highest latitude flare to date at 81°$$ {81}^{{}^{\circ}} $$. Magnetic activity like stellar flares occurring at high latitude indicate occurrence of coronal loops at these latitudes on fully‐convective M dwarfs. In contrast, sunspots usually occur below 30°$$ {30}^{{}^{\circ}} $

The Duration of Caretaker Periods and the Formation of Parliamentary Governments

Legislative Studies Quarterly, Volume 51, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT In this article, I focus on an understudied aspect of the cabinet formation process in parliamentary democracies: the caretaker periods associated with it. Building on the existing literature on government formation, I discuss conceptualization and measurement of caretaker periods, defined as periods during which a government is no longer or ...

The Martyrdom of Nadezhda Kurchenko: Soviet Hero Cults and the Spiritual Turn in Late Socialism

The Russian Review, Volume 85, Issue 1, Page 69-87, January 2026.
Abstract This article argues that the spiritual turn in Soviet atheism under Brezhnev provided a meaningful solution to the problems of producing heroes when self‐sacrificing martyrs were losing their appeal. To support this claim, I examine the story of Nadezhda Kurchenko, a nineteen‐year‐old flight attendant killed by two hijackers on an Aeroflot ...
