Impact of short-term aircraft noise on cardiovascular disease risk in the area surrounding London Heathrow airport: the RISTANCO epidemiological study by Xiangpu Gong, Nicole Itzkowitz, Calvin Jephcote, Kathryn Adams, Glory O Atilola, John Gulliver, Marta Blangiardo, Anna Hansell

“…In our experiment, we therefore used the natural feature of wind direction changes that alter the flight paths as aircraft take off into the wind (broadly speaking 70% of the time Heathrow operates on a westerly pattern and 30% on an easterly), which meant that we could select from all days between 2014 and 2018 and all areas near the airport. …”

Paleogeomorphology reconstruction and its control on sand dispersal systems: a case study from the Pinghu formation in the Hangzhou slope belt, Xihu Sag, East China sea shelf basin by Lanzhi Qin, Jie Xu, Jie Xu, Jie Xu, Donghao Xu, Hao Liu, Hao Liu, Hao Liu, Kun Cai

“…This study applies the seismic virtual extrapolation method and mudstone sonic analysis to reconstruct the paleogeomorphology of the Pinghu Formation in the Hang-zhou Slope Belt of the Xihu Sag, aiming to elucidate the control of paleogeomorphic features on sedimentary sand body distribution. Based on detailed geological investigation and sedimentary analysis, combined with paleogeomorphic reconstruction techniques, geomorphic units and their spatial assemblages are identified, and the mechanisms by which variations in paleogeomorphic morphology and slope gradient influence sediment dispersal patterns are revealed. …”

Protocol for ‘Re: CBT Dialysis’: a realist evaluation—why, for whom and in what circumstances does cognitive behaviour therapy work for people with depressive symptoms receiving di... by Joanne Greenhalgh, Kara Schick-Makaroff, Scott Klarenbach, Megan Kennedy, Richard Sawatzky, Katrin Micklitz, Daniel Cukor, Hubert Wong, Charlotte Berendonk, Loretta Lee, Lori Suet Hang Lo

“…Realist methodology is a theory-driven approach that seeks to explain how generative mechanisms are shaped by contextual features, giving rise to outcome patterns. We will begin by developing an initial programme theory (IPT) from the literature and interviews with CBT therapists to understand how CBT is intended to work and for whom. …”
