Occupational structures, migration, religion and poor relief in nineteenth century urban Ireland [PDF]

open access: yes
Patterns of poor relief varied greatly amongst nineteenth century Irish cities. To date, however, there has been little examination of the reasons behind these divergences.

Elbow Motion Induces Greater Median Nerve Excursion and Lower Shear Strain Than Wrist or Finger Motion in Healthy Volunteers

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Previous ultrasound (US)‐based assessments of median nerve (MN) displacement within the carpal tunnel have shown inconsistent results due to methodological variability. Quantitative data on how different upper‐limb movements affect MN displacement and shear strain at the wrist remain scarce.

Scheduling Bodyguards

open access: yesNaval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Security agencies around the world use bodyguards to protect government officials and public figures. In this paper, we consider a two‐person zero‐sum game between a defender who allocates such bodyguards to protect several targets and an attacker who chooses one target to attack.

Finding Maximum Weight 2‐Packing Sets on Arbitrary Graphs

open access: yesNetworks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A 2‐packing set for an undirected, weighted graph G=(V,E,w)$$ G=\left(V,\kern0.3em E,\kern0.3em w\right) $$ is a subset 𝒮⊆V such that any two vertices v1,v2∈𝒮 are not adjacent and have no common neighbors. The Maximum Weight 2‐Packing Set problem that asks for a 2‐packing set of maximum weight is NP$$ \mathbf{NP} $$‐hard. Next to 13 novel data

Distilling food web dynamics: top–down and bottom–up drivers of extinction and trophic cascades

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Quantifying population dynamics is a fundamental challenge in ecology and evolutionary biology, particularly for species that are cryptic, microscopic, or extinct. Traditional approaches rely on continuous representations of population size, but in many cases, the precise number of individuals is unknowable.

Drivers of human attitudes towards wolves Canis lupus in Kazakhstan

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Kazakhstan is recognized as a key stronghold for the grey wolf (Canis lupus). Nonetheless, the wolf status and the dynamics of human‐wolf coexistence in the region remain poorly understood. This study aims to fill that gap by exploring current attitudes towards wolves in Kazakhstan and identify the underlying drivers of these attitudes.

Saplings of significance: Nurturing cultural value of new tree plantings through participatory opportunities

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Tree‐planting initiatives are a crucial part of international sustainability and climate action efforts. Yet, many of these initiatives fail to achieve their long‐term sustainability and climate goals. The role of community value is an often‐overlooked factor in promoting the success of new tree plantings.

Physically consistent mesoscale model evaluation in complex terrain

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study introduces a novel approach for evaluating mesoscale atmospheric models in complex terrain by selecting physically consistent grid points and applying height‐based corrections. The method corrects for sensor height and terrain elevation differences between model and observations using a time‐varying lapse rate.
