Effects of Microtopography on Neighborhood Diversity and Competition in Subtropical Forests by Jianing Xu, Haonan Zhang, Yajun Qiao, Huanhuan Yuan, Wanggu Xu, Xin Xia

“…Forests are complex systems in which subtle variations in terrain can reveal much about plant community structure and interspecific interactions. Despite a wealth of studies focusing on broad-scale environmental gradients, the role of fine-scale topographic nuances often remains underappreciated, particularly in subtropical settings. …”

Bringing Together Multiple and Diverse Forms of Resistance to Innovation: A Rhetorical Approach to the Anti-5G Movement by Louis Vuarin, David Massé

“…We analyse the great diversity of arguments in 5G resistance, focussing on four main lines that structure the arguments, and we shed light on an ‘argument decentring’ phenomenon where, although they may not adopt the arguments advanced by other opponents, some actors leverage the resulting controversy to legitimate their own discourse and increase the credibility of their own lines of argumentation. …”

The nuclear charge radius of 13C by Patrick Müller, Matthias Heinz, Phillip Imgram, Kristian König, Bernhard Maass, Takayuki Miyagi, Wilfried Nörtershäuser, Robert Roth, Achim Schwenk

“…We present a laser spectroscopic measurement of the root-mean-square (rms) charge radius of 13C and compare this with ab initio nuclear structure calculations. Measuring all hyperfine components of the 2 3S  $${\to}$$ → 2 3P fine-structure triplet in 13C4+ ions referenced to a frequency comb allows us to determine its center-of-gravity with accuracy better than 2 MHz although second-order hyperfine-structure effects shift individual lines by several GHz. …”

Algebraic characterisation of hyperspace corresponding to topological vector space by Jayeeta Saha, Sandip Jana

“…In this study, we have shown that besides ℘(X), there are other hyperspaces namely P(X), PBal(X) PCV (X), PNθ (X), PS(X), Pθ(X) which have the same structure. To characterise the hyperspaces P(X), ℘(X) in light of evs, we have introduced some properties of evs which remain invariant under order-isomorphism. …”
