Ab Initio Study of Carrier Mobility, Thermodynamic and Thermoelectric Properties of Kesterite Cu₂ZnGeS₄ by Jawad El Hamdaoui, Mohamed Kria, Kamal Lakaal, Mohamed El-Yadri, El Mustapha Feddi, Liliana Pedraja Rejas, Laura M. Pérez, Pablo Díaz, Miguel E. Mora-Ramos, David Laroze

“…In this work, we investigated the thermodynamic and thermoelectric properties of CZGS by employing the first-principals calculation in association with the quasi-harmonic approximation, Boltzmann transport theory, deformation potential theory, and slack model. We obtained a bandgap of 2.05 eV and high carrier mobility. …”

Calcul des efforts de deuxième ordre à très haute fréquence sur des plates-formes à lignes tendues Computing High-Frequency Second Order Loads on Tension Leg Platforms by Chen X., Molin B.

“…Even though other processes are candidates for resonant loading (slamming, viscous effects, hull-tethers dynamics interaction), there is some indication that second-order phenomena, as predicted by potential theory, make the main contribution. According to this second-order theory, two independent wave components with frequencies omega1 and omega2 will contribute some loading at the sum frequency omega1 + omega2. …”

Effects of Family Nurture Intervention in the NICU on Theory of Mind Abilities in Children Born Very Preterm: A Randomized Controlled Trial by Morgan R. Firestein, Michael M. Myers, Katherine J. Feder, Robert J. Ludwig, Martha G. Welch

“…Preterm infants are at risk for socioemotional deficits, neurodevelopmental disorders, and potentially theory of mind (ToM) deficits. Preterm infants enrolled in a randomized controlled trial in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) received Standard Care (SC) or Family Nurture Intervention (FNI). …”

Neuroinflammation: The central enabler of postoperative cognitive dysfunction by Yang Liu, Wei Yang, Jinqi Xue, Juntong Chen, Shiqing Liu, Shijie Zhang, Xiaohui Zhang, Xi Gu, Youjing Dong, Peng Qiu

“…POCD is a complex pathological process involving multiple pathogenic factors, and its mechanism is yet unclear. Potential theories include inflammation, deposition of pathogenic proteins, imbalance of neurotransmitters, and chronic stress. …”

A review of social entrepreneurship research in tourism: knowledge map, operational experiences, and roadmaps by Wang, Mingzhuo, Rasoolimanesh, S. Mostafa, Kunasekaran, Puvaneswaran

“…Additionally, we suggest potential theories to help researchers understand the relationships in the proposed roadmaps. …”

Building coherent monitoring and evaluation plans with the Evaluation Planning Tool for global health by Timothy Roberton, Talata Sawadogo-Lewis

“…One reason for this is that M&E plans are often not coherent or employed to their full potential. Theories of change, indicator lists, and data collection become a series of disjointed efforts that do not tie together. …”

Exploitative data harvesting as an article 102 TFEU violation by Vadehra, A

“…Thereafter, it explores two potential theories of harm, and concludes that viewing privacy-quality degradation as an exploitative abuse of dominance is a feasible and practically enforceable approach. …”

Characterisation of the mechanism of B-cell receptor triggering by Wilcock, M

“…To narrow down potential theories of BCR triggering, the stoichiometry of the BCR in the resting state was established using multicolour fluorescence microscopy and shown to be predominantly monomeric. …”

Using mechanical turk to obtain and analyze English acceptability judgments by Gibson, Edward A., Piantadosi, Steven Thomas, Fedorenko, Kristina

“…Even if most of the judgments in an arbitrary syntax/semantics paper can be substantiated with rigorous quantitative experiments, the existence of a small set of judgments that do not conform to the authors’ intuitions can have a large effect on the potential theories. Whereas it is clearly desirable to quantitatively evaluate all syntactic and semantic hypotheses, it has been time-consuming in the past to find a large pool of naïve experimental participants for behavioral experiments. …”

The effect of high temperature on polycrystalline diamond by Scott, TA

“…The literature presents two potential theories to explain this phenomenon: residual stresses due to differential thermal expansion mismatch between diamond and cobalt and, graphitisation of the diamond catalysed by cobalt. …”

Interventions targeting healthcare providers to optimise use of caesarean section: a qualitative comparative analysis to identify important intervention features by Rana Islamiah Zahroh, Dylan Kneale, Katy Sutcliffe, Martha Vazquez Corona, Newton Opiyo, Caroline S. E. Homer, Ana Pilar Betrán, Meghan A. Bohren

“…We included 21 intervention studies targeting healthcare providers to reduce CS, comprising of 34 papers reporting on these interventions. To develop potential theories driving intervention success, we used existing published qualitative evidence syntheses on healthcare providers’ perspectives and experiences of interventions targeted at them to reduce CS. …”

Educational interventions targeting pregnant women to optimise the use of caesarean section: What are the essential elements? A qualitative comparative analysis by Rana Islamiah Zahroh, Katy Sutcliffe, Dylan Kneale, Martha Vazquez Corona, Ana Pilar Betrán, Newton Opiyo, Caroline S. E. Homer, Meghan A. Bohren

“…We used existing published qualitative evidence synthesis to develop potential theories driving intervention success. Results We found successful interventions were those that leveraged social or peer support through group-based intervention delivery, provided communication materials to women, encouraged emotional support by partner or family participation, and gave women opportunities to interact with health providers. …”
