Louise Moillon by Stevenson, Lesley

“…The life and career of Louise Moillon (1609/10-1696) offers a fascinating case study of a supremely talented artist whose posthumous reputation has been mired in invisibility. Born and raised in Paris, Moillon was the sole woman in a circle of Calvinist Protestant émigrés who brought their tradition of still-life painting with them from Flanders. …”

Seven children inequality and Britain’s next generation by Dorling, D

“…Danny Dorling’s highly original book constructs seven ‘average’ children from millions of statistics—each child symbolising the very middle of a parental income bracket, from the poorest to the wealthiest. Dorling’s seven were born in 2018, when the UK faced its worst inequality since the Great Depression and became Europe’s most socially divided nation. …”

Understanding trends in social fluidity in western europe: class structural change and the OED triangle by Goldthorpe, J, Bukodi, E

“…In further evaluating these theories, we report empirical analyses of relations within the origins-education-destinations (OED) triangle, drawing on data for individuals born 1923-77 in 17 European societies. In contrast with earlier research, we treat education in relative terms. …”

First-principles study of the lattice dynamics of Sb2S3 by Liu, Yun, Eddie Chua, Kun Ting, Sum, Tze Chien, Gan, Chee Kwan

“…We present a lattice dynamics study of orthorhombic antimony sulphide (Sb2S3) obtained using density-functional calculations in conjunction with the supercell force-constant method. The effect of Born effective charges is taken into account using a mixed-space approach, resulting in the splitting of longitudinal and transverse optical (LO-TO) phonon branches near the zone center. …”

Structural and electronic features enabling delocalized charge-carriers in CuSbSe 2 by Fu, Y, Lohan, H, Righetto, M, Huang, Y, Kavanagh, SR, Cho, C, Zelewski, SJ, Woo, YW, Demetriou, H, McLachlan, MA, Heutz, S, Piot, BA, Scanlon, DO, Rao, A, Herz, LM, Walsh, A, Hoye, RLZ

“…Using a combination of theory and experiment, the critical enabling factors are found to be: 1) having a layered structure, which allows distortions to the unit cell during the propagation of an acoustic wave to be relaxed in the interlayer gaps, with minimal changes in bond length, thus limiting deformation potentials; 2) favourable quasi-bonding interactions across the interlayer gap giving rise to higher electronic dimensionality; 3) Born effective charges not being anomalously high, which, combined with the small bandgap (≤1.2 eV), result in a low ionic contribution to the dielectric constant compared to the electronic contribution, thus reducing the strength of Fröhlich coupling. …”

Evidence from Finland and Sweden on the relationship between early-life diseases and lifetime childlessness in men and women by Liu, A, Akimova, ET, Ding, X, Jukarainen, S, Vartiainen, P, Kiiskinen, T, Koskelainen, S, Havulinna, AS, Gissler, M, Lombardi, S, Fall, T, Mills, MC, Ganna, A

Active Learning Strategies in Engineering Science: The Right Way to Teach Physics for Management Students (S/O 13010) by Nordin, Norani, Mohammed Kamaruddeen, Ahmed, Yekinni Kolawole, Sanusi

“…Physics is always perceived by students as a difficult, dull, and abstract subject with little connection to the real world, despite the fact that technologies are born from the physics of our daily lives. The traditional way of teaching physics and technology is based on teacher-centred of learning, where the teacher talks about a given theory and students are supposed to solve several problems based on this theory. …”

Equalities in education outcomes in Korea, Sweden and Norway by Goh, HC

“…The Innocenti Report Card suggests that children in Korea have a higher chance of being educated to a reasonable standard, and a lower chance of falling a long way behind the average, than a child born in Denmark or Norway. It was also found that the percentage of 15 year-olds judged “unable to solve basic reading tasks” varies from under 7 per cent in Korea to more than 20 per cent in Denmark and Norway. …”

Modeling of Mechanical Stress Exerted by Cholesterol Crystallization on Atherosclerotic Plaques by Luo, Yuemei, Cui, Dongyao, Yu, Xiaojun, Chen, Si, Liu, Xinyu, Tang, Hongying, Wang, Xianghong, Liu, Linbo

“…We developed a two-dimensional finite element method model of atherosclerotic plaques containing expanding cholesterol crystals and investigated the effect of the magnitude and distribution of crystallization on the peak circumferential stress born by the cap. Using micro-optical coherence tomography (μOCT), we extracted the cross-sectional geometric information of cholesterol crystals in human atherosclerotic aorta tissue ex vivo and applied the information to the model. …”
