The Leavitt law (previously known as the period–luminosity relation) for classical Cepheid variables has been shown to have decreased dispersion at longer wavelengths (Madore & Freedman 1991). As we move beyond the optical region, temperature variation of the stars and extinction due to the interstellar medium become smaller obstacles to obtaining accurate measurements.

Neutron stars (NSs) provide a unique environment to study fundamental physics, as they consist of matter that is both extremely dense and neutron-rich without having the high temperatures required to produce these conditions in terrestrial experiments. There is a well-established link between the composition and structure of NSs and the zero-temperature equation of state (EOS) of bulk nuclear matter (Lattimer & Prakash 2001; Li et al.

The design of effective reward systems is generally recognized as a major management challenge (Devers et al., 2008; Card et al., 2012; Shaw, 2014; Pompei et al., 2019). An important reason is that reward systems are closely associated with perceptions of equity (Pfeffer and Langton, 1993; Downes and Choi, 2014), which are often driven by social comparisons among colleagues (e.g., Card et al., 2012; Breza et al., 2018; Dube et al., 2019).

A leaked email published by The Guardian in September 2023 revealed that a senior executive from Philip Morris International (PMI) had instructed staff to find ‘any connection, any lead, whether political or technical’ that could be used to influence the forthcoming Conference of Parties (COP) to the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) (Marsh, 2023).
