Geographical Thought: An Introduction to Ideas in Human Geography

1. Geographies of Empire: The Imperial Tradition Introduction Empire, imperialism and colonialism Defining terms Portuguese and Spanish empires British Empire The institionalisation of geography From 'fabulous' to 'militant' geography The R...

Doing Gender: Feminism, Feminists and Research Methods in Human Geography

Recently, there has been a marked growth of interest in research methods in geography. Stimulated in part by the epistemological questions raised by feminist and post-modem critiques of 'scientific' method, this interest took a severely pra...

Modular multi-fidelity simulation framework for advanced sail-driven spacecraft control and dynamics in perturbation-rich regimes

This work presents a high-fidelity Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) simulation framework for the development and validation of control strategies for sail-driven spacecraft operating in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). The framework integrates NVIDIA Omniv...

Optimal pre-train/fine-tune strategies for accurate material property predictions

Abstract A pathway to overcome limited data availability in materials science is to use the framework of transfer learning, where a pre-trained (PT) machine learning model (on a larger dataset) can be fine-tuned (FT) on a target (smaller) d...

Hybrid heterogeneous ensemble learning framework for flood susceptibility mapping in Balochistan, Pakistan

Study region: The National Highways 85 and 50, key routes of the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) in Balochistan, Pakistan. Study focus: Flooding is a natural disaster that is becoming increasingly frequent and severe. The National H...

Heat Stress in Livestock: Impacts and Ameliorative Strategies—a Review

               Heat stress is one of the most important climatic conditions which adversely affects agricultural and livestock production worldwide. High ambient temperature with direct and indirect solar radiation, wind speed and relative ...

Generation of human induced pluripotent stem cell line MHHi040-A from a female Fabry disease patient carrying c.644A>G missense mutation

Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked, monogenic lysosomal storage disorder, caused by mutations in the GLA gene. GLA encodes the lysosomal hydrolase alpha-galactosidase A and enzyme deficiency leads to accumulation of its substrate globotriaos...

Incorporating genetic selection into individual‐based models of malaria and other infectious diseases

Abstract Introduction Control strategies for human infections are often investigated using individual‐based models (IBMs) to quantify their impact in terms of mortality, morbidity and impact on transmission. Genetic selection can be incorpo...

CRISPR/Cas9 for hepatitis B virus infection treatment

Abstract Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a global health challenge. Despite the availability of effective preventive vaccines, millions of people are at risk of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Current drug therapies inhibi...

Genomic evolution and stability of the mcr-1-harboring IncI2 plasmid in the presence and absence of colistin

Abstract Background The emergence of plasmid-mediated colistin resistance, primarily driven by the mcr-1 gene, represents a major global health threat. IncI2 plasmids, one of the leading carriers of mcr-1, have been frequently recovered fro...

Long-term farmland abandonments remarkably increased the phytolith carbon sequestration in soil

Abstract Background Phytolith-occluded organic carbon (PhytOC) is an important mechanism of long-term stable carbon sinks in terrestrial ecosystems. Farmland abandonment is a widespread land use change in the process of urbanization and ind...

Hobbes and Kant: Materialism and Rhetoric

This article examines the subtle nuances of Hobbes’s and Kant’s perspectives on rhetoric and materialism, contextualising them within the broader framework of political philosophy. Despite both philosophers being critics of rhetoric, their ...
