This letter reports the measurement of double parton scattering in same-sign W boson pair production with the ATLAS detector. The data set used corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1 of proton–proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, collected during Run 2 of the Large Hadron Collider. The study is performed in final states including two same-charge leptons, electron or
Electrifying heavy-duty vehicles at large sites requires charging infrastructure designs that balance cost and robustness. This article quantitatively compares six different charging infrastructures, spanning centralized vs. decentralized layouts and AC vs. DC distribution through a case study of a 50-charger site (≈15 MW total). Capital costs (cables, converters, transformers) are modeled, and e
This paper presents a search for physics beyond the Standard Model targeting a heavy resonance visible in the invariant mass of the lepton-jet system. The analysis focuses on final states with a high-energy lepton and jet, and is optimised for the resonant production of leptoquarks — a novel production mode mediated by the lepton content of the proton originating from quantum fluctuations. Four di
AimTreatment of complex anal fistulae remains a significant challenge for physicians and patients. A sphincter-preserving technique with bioactive platelet-rich fibrin matrix is one option. This three-year study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of bioactive platelet-rich fibrin matrix in treating complex anal fistulae.MethodThis retrospective study analysed data from 2019 to 2022 of patients diagnos
Incomplete reporting of microscopy methods undermines transparency, reproducibility, and data reuse. Despite recent initiatives, comprehensive, broadly endorsed, and accessible reporting guidelines are still lacking. Here, we present a bare minimal microscopy reporting requirements checklist that integrates human- and machine-readable input to provide clear, actionable guidance for researchers, re
Identification of patients at risk to develop atrial fibrillation (AF) can enable more frequent follow-up and lead to earlier detection of AF. The aim of this project was to perform long-term AF prediction based on a novel set of ECG-derived features describing the characteristics of supraventricular arrhythmias present before new onset AF. In total, 12 199 patients aged 75/76 performed repeated s
Smart microscopy lies at the intersection of biology, optics, engineering, and computer science. Unlike traditional microscopes, smart systems actively adapt their acquisition settings in real time based on information extracted from the sample, allowing experiments to navigate competing demands such as resolution, speed and sample health. In this review, we present a practical framework for what
Smart microscopy is transforming life sciences by automating experimental imaging workflows and enabling real-time adaptation based on feedback from images and other data streams. This shift increases throughput, improves reproducibility, and expands the functional capabilities of microscopes. However, the current landscape is highly fragmented. Academic researchers often develop custom solutions
A measurement of the top-quark pole mass mtpole is presented in tt¯ events with an additional jet, tt¯ + 1-jet, produced in pp collisions at s=13 TeV. The data sample, recorded with the ATLAS experiment during Run 2 of the LHC, corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1. Events with one electron and one muon of opposite electric charge in the final state are selected to measure the tt¯ +
In recent years, the automotive industry has increasingly prioritized comfort to meet rising consumer expectations for luxurious car experiences. Comfort, a subjective concept associated with well-being and relaxation, encompasses multidimensional aspects rooted in physical, psychological, and functional aspects. While existing comfort models focus mainly on seated positions and sensations like fa
This chapter critiques the belief that service-based models inherently lead to sustainable consumption. The core of the myth is the idea that shifting from ownership to access through traditional services, product–service systems, sharing and digital services can decouple resource use and sustainability impacts from consumption and well-being. The chapter explores the consequences of a service-dri
In this chapter, the authors challenge the myth that more is always better and that sufficiency – a principle of having enough but not excess – would mean deprivation, sacrifice, and the end of modern life. Instead, they argue that sufficiency is a pathway to a more just, fulfilling, and sustainable future. Drawing on existing research and a growing body of practice, they highlight five key argume
Background: Although research shows that social interaction is related to occupational engagement among adults with mental illness of all ages, this relationship is underexplored among older mental health service users. Factors suggested as relevant for such relationships are, for example, social network characteristics, anxiety/depression, physical problems, and gender. Aim: This study aimed to e
This article examines the impact of populist governance on state–civil society relations in Sweden, a country traditionally marked by collaborative relations and democratic stability. Focusing on reforms in adult education and international aid under a government supported by a right-wing populist party, the study explores how these changes are perceived by civil society organizations (CSOs). Draw
Spectroscopic studies of energy transport through the photosynthetic apparatus have been crucial to expanding our understanding of biological energy conversion. Correlating spectroscopic information to the electronic structure and function in these complex systems remains highly challenging, however. While cryogenic experimental conditions help in improving the effective spectral resolution and sa
This article provides an introduction to Journal of Tourism History’s special issue on the twentieth-century spa. It addresses the imbalance in the state of research regarding spas between the ‘long’ nineteenth and the ‘short’ twentieth century and suggests a more inclusive approach to the latter, before introducing the contributions to this volume.
Background: There are currently no major disease-modifying treatments for neurodegenerative disorders such as Huntington's disease (HD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). HD is caused by a CAG repeat expansion in the huntingtin gene and is characterised by the accumulation of mutant huntingtin (mHTT) protein. ALS is defined by the degeneration of motor neurons
Sexual dysfunction (SD), more specifically vasculogenic erectile dysfunction (ED) in men and female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD) in women, is increasingly recognized as a marker of cardiovascular disease (CVD). While extensive literature documents vasculogenic ED as an early warning sign of coronary artery disease (CAD) and other atherosclerotic manifestations, the evidence for analogous phenome
