ABSTRACT This multiple case study explores the intersections of queerness/transness and science education through a combined framework of queer theory, intersectionality, the construct of figured worlds and science identity. The study uses a life‐history approach to characterize the trajectories of three purposefully selected queer individuals who are ...

N2 fixation is linked to the ability to encroach in African savanna trees
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Encroachment is a globally ubiquitous phenomenon, characterised by increasing indigenous tree densities in savanna and grassland. Encroachment has been attributed to rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations fertilising tree growth and shifting the competitive balance ...

ABSTRACT Brown spot needle blight (BSNB), caused by the fungus Lecanosticta acicola, is a widely distributed foliar disease of pines that causes needle necrosis, premature defoliation, and growth loss in both natural forests and commercial plantations. Although L.

On the topological ranks of Banach ∗$^*$‐algebras associated with groups of subexponential growth
Abstract Let G$G$ be a group of subexponential growth and C→qG$\mathcal C\overset{q}{\rightarrow }G$ a Fell bundle. We show that any Banach ∗$^*$‐algebra that sits between the associated ℓ1$\ell ^1$‐algebra ℓ1(G|C)$\ell ^1(G\,\vert \,\mathcal C)$ and its C∗$C^*$‐envelope has the same topological stable rank and real rank as ℓ1(G|C)$\ell ^1(G\,\vert ...

A Choquet theory of Lipschitz‐free spaces
Abstract Let (M,d)$(M,d)$ be a complete metric space and let F(M)$\mathcal {F}({M})$ denote the Lipschitz‐free space over M$M$. We develop a ‘Choquet theory of Lipschitz‐free spaces’ that draws from the classical Choquet theory and the De Leeuw representation of elements of F(M)$\mathcal {F}({M})$ (and its bi‐dual) by positive Radon measures on βM ...

Comparison of drone and ground surveys for the detection of a rare plant in a fragile ecosystem
We compared the accuracy, time, and financial costs of drone and ground surveys for the detection of wood lilies (Lilium philadelphicum) in an endangered alvar ecosystem. We found that the drone surveys detected 73%–78% of the plants found in the ground surveys, but that this type of survey was more expensive and time consuming than the ground survey ...

Gender and Pregnancy Discrimination in the Selection Process. Does It (Still) Exist?
ABSTRACT Building on the social role theory of sex differences and the role congruity theories, we aim to test whether gender and pregnancy discrimination (still) emerge in individual and group decisions, alongside testing four explanatory mechanisms.

The six operations in topology
Abstract In this paper, we show that the six functor formalism for sheaves on locally compact Hausdorff topological spaces, as developed, for example,‐ in Kashiwara and Schapira's book Sheaves on Manifolds, can be extended to sheaves with values in any closed symmetric monoidal ∞$\infty$‐category which is stable and bicomplete. Notice that, since we do

ABSTRACT Soil properties are significantly, but unevenly, conditioned by the landscape relief and/or bedrock. Here, we compare forest soil properties along toposequences between differently elevated areas of denuded Variscan mountain ranges and the alpine‐fold Carpathians in the Czech Republic (Central Europe). Correlating soil properties were selected

Holomorphic field theories and higher algebra
Abstract Aimed at complex geometers and representation theorists, this survey explores higher dimensional analogs of the rich interplay between Riemann surfaces, Virasoro and Kac‐Moody Lie algebras, and conformal blocks. We introduce a panoply of examples from physics — field theories that are holomorphic in nature, such as holomorphic Chern‐Simons ...
