Essays on state capacity, governance and public good by Manchanda, Stuti

“…Analysis in this essay, using cross-state data from India, indicates that election of such legislators is associated with a rather unexpected positive performance in provision of roads and bridges. This essay then provides a coherent explanation of their apparent fulfilment in delivery of the public good through the astute (mis)use of public infrastructure projects, which has assisted them to parachute from centrifugal to centripetal positions in electoral politics. …”

Curiosity-driven learning in artificial intelligence and its applications by Sun, Chenyu

“…Incorporating curiosity into computational frameworks is of great significance, as artificial curiosity provides a natural intrinsic motivation for efficient learning, bridging the gap between ML research and practical application scenarios, such as overfitting, poor generalization, limited training samples, low sample efficiency, multi-skill offline learning, and high computational costs. …”

Discharge planning from hospital to home. by Shepperd, S, Parkes, J, McClaren, J, Phillips, C

“…The aim is to reduce hospital length of stay and unplanned readmission to hospital, and improve the co ordination of services following discharge from hospital thereby bridging the gap between hospital and place of discharge. …”

The inferomedial femoral neck is compromised by age but not disease: Fracture toughness and the multifactorial mechanisms comprising reference point microindentation by Jenkins, T, Katsamenis, O, Andriotis, O, Coutts, L, Carter, B, Dunlop, D, Oreffo, R, Cooper, C, Harvey, N, Thurner, P, OStEO group, Arden, N, Latham, J, Taylor, P, Baxter, M, Moss, N, Ball, C, Chan, K

“…Multimodal indent imaging revealed evidence of toughening mechanisms (i.e. crack deflection, bridging and microcracking), elastoplastic response (in terms of the non-conical imprint shape and presence of pile-up) and correlation of RPI with damage extent (up to r = 0.79, p = 0.034) and indent size (up to r = 0.82, p < 0.001). …”

Ligand Variations in New Sulfonamide-Supported Group 4 Ring-Opening Polymerization Catalysts by Schwarz, A, Herbert, K, Paniagua, C, Mountford, P

“…Monomeric six- or five-coordinate structures were found for the titanium complexes 19, 21, and 24, whereas the zirconium alkyls 30 and 32 were dimeric in the solid state with terminal and bridging κ 2(N,O)-bound sulfonamides. …”

Effectiveness of group cognitive behavioural therapy on depression, negative automatic thoughts, anxiety, self-esteem and anger among adolescents in sheltered homes by Ding, Wai Eng

“…SAHABAT programme was superior to waitlist control in reducing symptomatology of depression, anxiety, negative automatic thoughts, and anger, and increasing selfesteem across time from pre-intervention to 6-month post-intervention. These findings have bridged the research gap in providing evidence-based for gCBT in treating adolescent emotional distress in Malaysia. …”

Physical Characterization of Lead Bismuth Borate and Lead Bismuth Phosphate Glasses by Muhammad @ Ahmad, Hamizan

“…In optical properties for both types of glasses, it was found that the shifting of wavelength was related to the amount of production of the non-bridging oxygen (NBO). The existence of less disorder in phosphate network contributed to higher values of glass optical band gap (E,,,). …”
