Knowledge of the spatial distribution of many polar seabird species is incomplete due to the remoteness of their breeding locations. Here, we compiled a new database of published and unpublished records of all known snow petrel breeding sites. We quantified local environmental conditions at sites by appending indices of climate and substrate, and regional-scale conditions by appending 30 year mean (1992-2021) sea-ice conditions within accessible foraging areas.

An InGaAs/GaAsSb type II superlattice (T2SL) absorber is a promising alternative material for a short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) photodetector due to the largely tunable bandgap by adjusting the thickness and material composition of InGaAs and GaAsSb in each T2SL period. We demonstrate a pBn type SWIR photodetector consisting of a strained InGaAs/GaAsSb T2SL absorber and AlGaAsSb barrier. The device presents an ultralow dark current density of 1.

Article Synopsis
  • * The study involved in-depth interviews with 22 mothers participating in a family-based obesity prevention program, revealing that time and taste were major barriers to healthy eating, while social influence played a complex role in their food choices.
  • * Findings suggest that while mothers are motivated to provide healthy meals for their children, they often neglect their own nutrition; future interventions should emphasize role-modeling healthy eating and include strategies for efficient meal planning to benefit the entire family.

Introduction: Retention of general practice registrars in their training practices is important for addressing the GP workforce deficit and maldistribution of GPs. Given that rural and remote general practices are disproportionately affected by low retention, identifying the factors that promote retention may be as important as developing recruitment strategies in these areas. Quantifying the impact of relevant factors on registrar retention will enable a better understanding of how to incentivise retention and attenuate the loss of the rural workforce to other areas.
