New Windows for First Floor - The National Archives
Work to replace the windows in the 1970s part of our building continues and from Monday 16 June will move to the first floor. Our existing aluminium double-glazed windows are now over 40 years old and it is time to replace them. This will ensure we continue to protect and conserve our collections. The new […]

Over the past 5 years, I’ve found myself vibing hard with Russian and Ukrainian Dance Pop, there’s something irresistibly catchy and uniquely electric about those beats that just hit different on the dance floor.

A Bayesian Multisource Fusion Model for Spatiotemporal PM2.5 in an Urban Setting
Airborne particulate matter (PM2.5) is a major public health concern in urban environments, where population density and emission sources exacerbate exposure risks. We present a novel Bayesian spatiotemporal fusion model to estimate monthly PM2.5 concentrations over Greater London (2014-2019) at 1km resolution. The model integrates multiple PM2.5 data sources, including outputs from two atmospheric air quality dispersion models and predictive variables, such as vegetation and satellite aerosol …

Nonvanishing of $L$--functions associated to fixed order characters over function fields
We show that a positive proportion of the values $L(1/2,χ_c)$ are non-zero, where $χ_c$ is the $\ell^{\text{th}}$ residue symbol for $\ell \geq 3$ over $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$, when averaging over square-free polynomials $c$ in $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$, as $q \equiv 1(\textrm{mod}\,{2\ell})$ is fixed and the degree of $c$ goes to infinity. In the case of $\ell=3$, we show that at least $1/6$ of $L(1/2,χ_c)\neq 0$, while for $\ell>3$, the proportion depends on the order of the character. This improves a p…

Towards a unified understanding of polymer cononsolvency: insights from the Flory-Huggins-Potts framework
In polymer solutions, the phenomenon of cononsolvency describes when mixing two good solvents creates poor-solvent conditions for the polymer over some specific composition range. Observations of cononsolvency typically relate to either phase separation at the macroscopic level or chain collapse at the microscopic level. Despite its technological and biophysical relevance, the connection between the macroscopic and microscopic observations of cononsolvency and how these differ by mechanism rema…
