Recessions appear to coincide with an increasingly stigmatising presentation of poverty in parts the media. Previous research on connection between high unemployment and media discourse has often relied case studies periods when rhetoric about poor was increasing. We build earlier work how economic context affects representations by creating a unique dataset that measures descriptions are used five centrist right-wing British newspapers 1896 2000.

Low-cost clean primary production of magnesium metal is important for its use in many applications, from light-weight structural components to energy technologies. This work describes new experiments and cost emissions analysis a process. The process combines molten salt electrolysis MgO using MgF₂-CaF₂ electrolyte reactive liquid tin cathode, with gravity-driven multiple effect thermal system (G-METS) distillation separate out the product, re-use tin. Electrolysis carbon anodes showed...
In this article we investigate whether quantifying school performance can have the unintended consequence of increasing spatial concentration advantage. Combining research on residential segregation with sociology quantification, argue that ranking may induce affluent parents to sort into areas higher-ranked schools. We explore hypothesis by analyzing linked decennial census data from 1981 2011 examine introduction league tables measuring in early 1990s England affected find was associated...
Obesity-related stigma is increasingly recognised as a public health issue, with implications for the mental and physical of people without obesity. However, very little known about what drives inter-individual differences in obesity-stigmatizing views, how they are distributed population. If views obesity not independent person's wider beliefs values, this must be understood so that can effectively tackled. In representative sample British adults aged 18–97 (N = 2186), we explore predictors...
X-ray nanotomography is a powerful tool for the characterization of nanoscale materials and structures, but it difficult to implement due competing requirements flux spot size. Due this constraint, state-of-the-art predominantly performed at large synchrotron facilities. We present laboratory-scale instrument that achieves spatial resolution while addressing limitations conventional tomography tools. The combines electron beam scanning microscope (SEM) with precise, broadband detection...
Efforts to improve student retention are regularly explored within higher education literature and practice due their status as a noble aim shared by governments, universities, students themselves. To this end, students’ sense of belonging has become an increasingly popular topic study its comprehensive links success. However, while is understood binary, externally defined metric, subjective, messy, dynamic. This utilises longitudinal design explore the changing relationship between...
Abstract Stigmatising stereotypes about welfare recipients play a crucial role in building public support for retrenchment. Existing literature finds that the highly educated are more sympathetic towards recipients. This is surprising given economic advantage associated with educational attainment. Furthermore, attainment has increased even as sympathy declined. I address these puzzles using three decades of British survey data and find it socially liberal attitudes rather than higher...

Given its close links to student success, universities are heavily invested in how they can positively influence their students’ sense of belonging. One approach this is through social belonging interventions, where attempt develop agency. This study takes a quasi-experimental by evaluating the impact newly developed agentic workshop at two English universities. hundred and one first-year undergraduate students attended either (36), control study-skills (27), or neither (38). Findings show...
PIP-II is an 800 MeV superconducting RF linear accelerator under development at Fermilab. As the new first stage in our chain, it will deliver high-power beam to multiple experiments simultaneously and thus drive Fermilab's particle physics program for years come. In a pivot Fermilab, controls are based on EPICS instead of ACNET, legacy control system accelerators lab. This paper discusses status work PIP-II. We describe tools selected experience operators EPICS. introduce continuous...
The PIP-II timing system is planned to be a two-part consisting of global (referred as ACLK) that provides high level, event-based for the whole Fermilab accelerator complex while second part RF synchronized clock unique Linac itself LCLK). ACLK System will make use an external 10 MHz GPS based signal source reference its 650 phase lock it frequency TCLK output (needed support legacy hardware around complex). LCLK (162.5 MHz) from LLRF allow beam event placement. Both and systems have with...
This article presents the first longitudinal analysis of social and geographic mobility into Britain’s higher managerial professional occupations. Using linked census records from Office for National Statistics Longitudinal Study, we find that those advantaged origins are substantially more likely to make long-distance residential moves, implying is a correlate rather than determinant an adult class position. Among managers professionals, with backgrounds lived in affluent areas as children...
