A d10 Ag(I) amine–borane σ-complex and comparison with a d8 Rh(I) analogue: structures on the η1 to η2:η2 continuum Yazar: Johnson, A, Martinez-Martinez, A, Macgregor, S, Weller, A

“…Analysis of the molecular and electronic structures reveal important but subtle differences in the nature of the bonding in these σ-complexes, which differ only by the identity of the metal centre and the d-electron count. With Rh the amine–borane binds in an η2:η2 fashion, whereas at Ag the unsymmetrical {Ag⋯H3B·NMe3} unit suggests a structure lying between the η2:η2 and η1 extremes.…”

Single molecule mass photometry of nucleic acids Yazar: Li, Y, Struwe, WB, Kukura, P

Lower growth rate from recent redshift space distortion measurements than expected from Planck. Yazar: Macaulay, E, Wehus, I, Eriksen, H

“…A full resolution of this issue may require a more robust treatment of nonlinear effects in RSD models, although the trend for a low σ8 agrees with recent constraints on σ8 and Ω(m) from Sunyaev-Zeldovich cluster counts identified in Planck.…”

The limits of agency: aspirational frustrations amongst working-class Chinese youths Yazar: Jiang, E

“…Along the way, I describe how amongst my Chinese interlocutors, the standards of agency – the normative assumptions of what counts as agentive – are tethered to aspirations to participate in the middle class.…”

Rage against the authority machines: how to design artificial moral advisors for moral enhancement Yazar: Landes, E, Voinea, C, Uszkai, R

“…We start with a brief consideration of what counts as moral enhancement and consider the risk of deskilling raised by machines that offer moral advice. …”

The future prospects for SiPM based receivers for visible light communications Yazar: Zhang, L, Chun, H, Ahmed, Z, Faulkner, G, O'Brien, D, Collins, S

“…However, its finite output pulse width will limit its bandwidth and its recovery time and dark count rate could limit its sensitivity. In this paper, a method of accurately determining the signal levels needed to transmit data in a shot-noise limited system using PAM is described. …”

The impact of hardware scheduling mechanisms on the performance and cost of processor designs Yazar: Müller, S, Leister, H, Dell, P, Gerteis, N, Kroening, D

“…It turns out that the hardware schedulers can double the performance at a moderate increase (10–24%) in a processor’s gate count. Earlier rearranging of instructions allows for better performance, but it does not guarantee it. …”

The interaction of alpha thalassaemia and sickle cell-beta zero thalassaemia. Yazar: Vyas, P, Higgs, D, Weatherall, D, Dunn, D, Serjeant, B, Serjeant, G

“…Alpha thalassaemia was associated with significantly higher haemoglobin levels and lower reticulocyte counts independent of the presence of splenomegaly. …”

Mill's argument against religious knowledge Yazar: Mawson, T

“…' Despite Mill's not having drawn it out, there is an argument implicit in his comments that is germane to both externalist and internalist understandings of the epistemic justification of religious beliefs, even though some of these understandings would not wish to use the term 'epistemic justification' to refer to whatever it is they suggest must be added to true belief for it to count as knowledge. In this paper, we shall articulate this argument; examine how it challenges those religious believers who would wish to claim their religious beliefs as knowledge; and consider what they may do to meet this challenge.…”

A case for serial examination of sputum inflammatory cells. Yazar: Wong, A, Pavord, I, Sears, MR, Hargreave, F

“…In the case reported, serial evaluation of sputum inflammatory cell counts made it possible to identify an unusual series of events in a man with eosinophilic bronchitis. …”

An efficient gain-flattened C-band Erbium-doped fiber amplifier Yazar: Harun, Sulaiman Wadi, Rahman, Faidz Abd, Dimyati, Kaharudin, Ahmad, Harith

“…This amplifier has the potential to be used in the high channel count dense wavelenght division multiplexing system because of its simplicity and low cost. …”

Hybrid flat gain C-band optical amplifier with Zr-based erbium-doped fiber and semiconductor optical amplifier Yazar: Huri, N.A.D., Hamzah, Azura, Arof, Hamzah, Ahmad, Harith, Harun, Sulaiman Wadi
