To date, few researchers have investigated gay men's stereotypic beliefs about drag queens and the association between these beliefs and individual difference variables such as hypermasculinity. To address this omission, 118 men self-identifying as non-heterosexual completed an online survey consisting of an adjective checklist about drag queens and a psychometrically sound indicant of hypermasculinity. As predicted, participants who were more likely to endorse hypermasculine belief statements tended to perceive negatively valenced attributes as more characteristic of drag queens. Possible explanations for this relationship, limitations associated with the current study, and directions for future research are delineated.

Slip length and drag reduction of superhydrophobic surfaces in shear-thinning fluid flows.
J Colloid Interface Sci
January 2025
School of Engineering, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, L69 3GH, United Kingdom.
Hypothesis: We hypothesise that superhydrophobic surfaces can achieve effective interfacial slip and drag reduction even under non-Newtonian, shear-thinning fluid flows. Unlike Newtonian fluids, where slip is primarily influenced by viscosity and surface tension, we anticipate that the shear-thinning nature of these fluids may enhance slip length and drag reduction.
Experiments And Numerical Analysis: The superhydrophobic surfaces used in this study, featuring a dual-scale random topography, were fabricated via a spray coating process, and low-concentration xanthan gum solutions (50-250 ppm) were used as model shear-thinning fluids of low elasticity.
Tick hazard in the South Downs National Park (UK): species, distribution, key locations for future interventions, site density, habitats.
PeerJ
June 2024
Ecology, Conservation and Society Research and Enterprise Group, School of Applied Sciences, University of Brighton, Brighton, United Kingdom.
Article Synopsis
- The South Downs National Park (SDNP) is a popular destination in the UK, becoming a hotspot for tick-borne diseases like Lyme disease and newly identified cases of tick-borne encephalitis and babesiosis.
- The researchers conducted an extensive tick monitoring study by collecting ticks from deer and evaluating key sites, identifying a total of 623 ticks, primarily nymphs and larvae, at five major intervention sites over two years.
- Findings revealed that tick hazards vary by habitat, with woodlands showing a higher tick density compared to downlands and nymphs being most prevalent in spring, indicating potential seasonal risks for recreation and wildlife health.
Intersectional Microaggressions and Implications for Health Inequities and HIV Among Latino/x Sexual Minority Males in Puerto Rico.
J Racial Ethn Health Disparities
February 2025
School of Social Work, San José State University, San Jose, CA, 95112, USA.
Latino/x sexual minority males (SMM) continue to be disproportionately impacted by health inequities. This study aims to understand the lived experience of Puerto Rican (PR) SMM related to how intersectional microaggressions influence health-related risk and protective factors. Young adult (ages 21-30) PR SMM from San Juan, Puerto Rico, completed a bilingual in-depth individual interview (14 in Spanish and 1 in English).

Curr Biol
November 2023
School of Biological Sciences, University of Bristol, Bristol BS8 1TQ, UK. Electronic address:
The European wildcat population in Scotland is considered critically endangered as a result of hybridization with introduced domestic cats, though the time frame over which this gene flow has taken place is unknown. Here, using genome data from modern, museum, and ancient samples, we reconstructed the trajectory and dated the decline of the local wildcat population from viable to severely hybridized. We demonstrate that although domestic cats have been present in Britain for over 2,000 years, the onset of hybridization was only within the last 70 years.

Sci Rep
July 2023
School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Queen's University Belfast, Belfast, BT9 5AH, UK.
A novel method aimed at evaluating the active drag profile during front-crawl swimming is proposed. Fourteen full trials were conducted with each trial using a stationary load cell set-up and a commercial resistance trainer to record the tension force in a rope, caused by an athlete swimming. Seven different stroke cycles in each experiment were identified for resampling time dependent data into position dependent data.
