Obesity and the Politics of Taddeo di Bartolo's Inferno

Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines Taddeo di Bartolo's depiction of Hell in the Collegiata di Santa Maria Assunta, the mother church of San Gimignano. In a striking departure from similar scenes of the period, the fresco, painted in the early fifteenth century, emphasizes the obesity of the sinners—suggesting a deliberate visual critique.

Apocalyptic Visions and Ecofeminist Narratives in Three Southeast Asian Women's Fiction

World Englishes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Apocalypse that describes ‘end‐of‐world’ scenarios have been especially prolific in the past few decades since the climate crisis has prophesied the imminent destruction of natural and human habitats. Apocalyptic literatures present insights into the various problems that beset humanity currently and extrapolate the inevitable consequences ...

Beyond parents and educators: Older siblings as influential figures in nonformal engineering contexts

Journal of Engineering Education, Volume 115, Issue 4, October 2026.
Abstract Background Given the growing need for a well‐prepared engineering workforce, strategic investments must extend beyond formal education to include nonformal learning environments. While prior research highlights the role of parents, educators, and mentors in shaping young children's engineering development, siblings remain an understudied yet ...

Scale Dependent Temporal and Spatial Patterns of Population Change in Anadromous Sea Trout (Salmo trutta) in Scotland Over Seven Decades

Ecology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 35, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The spatial scale at which temporal change in a population is measured has the potential to skew the inferences drawn on patterns of change from monitoring data. This study analysed data from rod catches of anadromous sea trout (Salmo trutta) in Scotland over 72 years and three spatial scales (National, Regional and District).

Blue straggler stars in dwarf spheroidal galaxies [PDF]

, 2017
Blue straggler star (BSS) candidates have been observed in all old dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs), however whether or not they are authentic BSSs or young stars has been a point of debate.

Rapid Fabrication of Self‐Propelled and Steerable Magnetic Microcatheters for Precision Medicine

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 51, 11 September 2026.
A rapid Joule heating fabrication method for the production of self‐propelling, adaptive microcatheters, with tunable stiffness and integrated microfluidic channels is presented. Demonstrated through three microrobotic designs, including a steerable guiding catheter, an untethered wave‐crawling TubeBot, and a distal‐end propelled microcatheter, it was ...

Blue Straggler Stars In The Globular Cluster M53

, 2007
The first large-format CCD color-magnitude diagram (CMD) in the B and V passbands is presented for the Galactic globular cluster M53 (NGC 5024). We have discovered 117 new blue straggler (BS) candidates in the field of M53.

Equilibria and oscillations of magnetised neutron stars

, 2010
We investigate equilibrium configurations and oscillation spectra of neutron stars,modelled as rotating magnetised fluid bodies in Newtonian gravity. We also explorethe idea that these model neutron stars could have dynamics analogous to rigid-bodyfree ...

Room‐Temperature Skyrmionic Synapse in 2D Ferromagnet Fe3GaTe2 Operating via Collective Spin Texture Transformation

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 49, 1 September 2026.
We demonstrate a neuromorphic synapse in 2D Fe3GaTe2 flakes. The device operates via a current‐driven transformation from a skyrmion‐lattice to a stripe‐domain state, yielding a linear anomalous Hall resistance response with a tunable slope to enable multiply‐accumulate operations. Simulations confirm its viability in artificial neural networks.

Signatures of Edge States in Antiferromagnetic Van der Waals Josephson Junctions

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 51, 11 September 2026.
ABSTRACT The combination of superconductivity and magnetic textures leads to unconventional superconducting phenomena, including new correlated and topological phases. Van der Waals (vdW) materials emerge as a versatile platform for exploring the interplay between these two competing orders.
