Smoke or no Smoke? Questions of Perspective in North and South by Mary Debrabant

“…The novelist underplays the more sinister aspect of Milton’s environmental features and manufacturers are not explicitly held accountable for industrial waste. For all its smoke and grime, the bustling factory town compares not unfavourably with the backwardness of rural England, the idle drawing-room life of London or torpid Oxford academia. …”

Evaluation of generative models for emotional 3D animation generation in VR by Kiran Chhatre, Renan Guarese, Andrii Matviienko, Christopher Peters

“…Through a user study (N = 48), we systematically examine perceived emotional quality for three state-of-the-art speech-driven 3D animation methods across two specific emotions: happiness (high arousal) and neutral (mid arousal). Additionally, we compare these generative models against real human expressions obtained via a reconstruction-based method to assess both their strengths and limitations and how closely they replicate real human facial and body expressions.ResultsOur results demonstrate that methods explicitly modeling emotions lead to higher recognition accuracy compared to those focusing solely on speech-driven synchrony. …”

Biochar addition enhances remediation efficiency and rapeseed yield in copper-contaminated soil by Ziwei Sheng, Tao Luo, Linjie Wang, Min Chen, Bingbing Ma, Lijun Liu, Bo Wang, Jie Kuai, Jing Wang, Jie Zhao, Zhenghua Xu, Guangsheng Zhou

“…The overall copper concentration in plants decreased by 23.7% under BC2 and 13.3% under BC1 compared to BC0. However, the plant’s dry biomass at BC1 and BC2 treatments increased by 1.7-fold and 2.7-fold relative to BC0, which offset the negative impact of the decreased copper concentration on phytoremediation. …”

Exploring Change Mechanisms in a Complex Intervention: Lessons Learned From a Longitudinal Constructivist Grounded Theory Study by Stephanie Kipfer, Cedric Mabire, Andrea Koppitz, Sandrine Pihet

“…Important lessons learned included: (1) By comparing data from different time points, changes could be identified even when not explicitly mentioned by participants. (2) Participants exhibited more awareness of changes and related mechanisms in interviews conducted during the intervention compared to those executed after, where they had already integrated the new strategies into their daily lives. (3) Analyses conducted within and across participants for each time point and across all time points revealed time-specific mechanisms, shared patterns and journeys substantially differing from others. (4) Including participants’ quantitative intervention outcomes as additional data in the qualitative analysis helped identify facilitators and barriers to change. …”

Complete electroweak $$\mathcal {O}\left( N_c^2\right) $$ O N c 2 two-loop contributions to the Higgs boson masses in the MSSM and aspects of two-loop renormalisation by Henning Bahl, Daniel Meuser, Georg Weiglein

“…As a consequence of working at $$\mathcal {O}\left( N_c^2\right) $$ O N c 2 , the relevant two-loop self-energies decompose into products of one-loop integrals, giving rise to a transparent analytical structure of the self-energies. We compare different renormalisation schemes for $$\tan (\beta )$$ tan ( β ) , the ratio of the vacuum expectation values of the two Higgs doublets, and demonstrate under which conditions different renormalisation schemes can be related to each other via a simple reparametrisation. …”
