Quantification of steroid hormones in free‐ranging Apennine wolf Canis lupus italicus hair samples collected post‐mortem

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
After decades of dramatic reductions in their populations, Italian wolves have begun recolonizing parts of their historic range. This growth in populations can lead to potential conflicts with human activities, which remain the main cause of wolf mortality.

The Stripping Method for X‐Ray Spectral Correction in ISO 4037‐1 Narrow Spectra Series (N10‐N150)

X-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Spectrometry is an important tool for the characterization of X‐ray beams in ionizing radiation metrology. However, the use of solid‐state spectrometers for accurate measurements requires correction of spectral distortions caused by the interaction between photons and the detector.

Depth‐resolved X‐ray residual stress analysis on samples with cylindrically shaped surface topography

Journal of Applied Crystallography, EarlyView.
Modifications of the fundamental equation of X‐ray stress analysis are proposed that allow correction of the hoop and longitudinal stresses obtained from sin2ψ measurements on samples featuring an inhomogeneous surface topography. The formalism is verified by angle‐ and energy‐dispersive measurements performed on a ferritic steel sample with ...

Enhancing microstructural fidelity in near‐field high‐energy diffraction microscopy reconstruction with Noise2Void denoising

Journal of Applied Crystallography, EarlyView.
A self‐supervised deep learning model, Noise2Void (N2V), denoises near‐field high‐energy diffraction microscopy diffraction images without requiring unobtainable clean data. These images allow for lower segmentation thresholds and detection of smaller and weaker diffraction peaks, which are often discarded or overlooked with conventional image ...

Elliptical neutron‐focusing supermirrors with Ni–P‐plated Al–Si alloy substrates for multi‐incident‐angle neutron reflectometry

Journal of Applied Crystallography, EarlyView.
Multi‐incident‐angle neutron reflectometry is realized using elliptical metallic supermirrors for dual‐beam focusing. This approach presents new opportunities for efficient interface analysis.This study introduces a novel approach for multi‐incident‐angle neutron reflectometry utilizing metallic elliptical supermirrors to enable the simultaneous ...

Design and performance of a capacitor‐based burn‐through monitor for high‐power X‐ray beams at XFEL facilities

Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, EarlyView.
We present the results of testing 92 prototypes of a capacitor‐based burn‐through monitor at the LCLS XCS and XPP endstations. We quantify the beam energy density thresholds required to induce a detectable high‐voltage electrical short prior to complete burn‐through and demonstrate the reliability of this scalable, low‐cost solution for machine and ...

State of the Field: Royal Studies and Court Studies

History, EarlyView.
Abstract Monarchy, as the world's oldest and most enduring form of political organization, is an area that has attracted the attention of scholars from a range of disciplines. Two connected and complementary fields embody this interdisciplinary study of monarchy and monarchies: royal studies, which takes an all‐encompassing approach to monarchy, and ...

ON THE BRIGHTER SIDE OF THE NIGHT: Discovering Community and Care in Night Shift Work

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Within the burgeoning attention being paid to the night‐time economy (NTE) in and by cities, the demands and impacts of night work have gathered increasingly scholarly attention. Research has centred on the darker side of these, pointing to workers' precarity and vulnerability. What if we attend also to a ‘brighter side’ of the night and night

MIRACLE URBANIZATION: Spatial Production and Political Legitimation in the Sochi 2014 and Beijing 2022 Olympics

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract From desert ski resorts to subtropical Winter Games, there is a global proliferation of ‘mission‐impossible’ mega‐projects. The prevailing frameworks of city branding and urban entrepreneurism fail to explain the political logics behind these seemingly irrational projects.

The Mysterious Stranger and Modern Enchantment

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sociological accounts of modernity have long emphasized rationalization, alienation, and the attenuation of affective intensity. While these diagnoses capture crucial dynamics of modern social order, they leave underexplored a persistent and generative dimension of social life: enchantment.
