From Opinion Dynamics to Collective Action: How Identity-Based Tolerance Leads to Political Extremism by Liang, Chen E.

“…We resolve this apparent paradox by illustrating how extreme collective action can arise from a moderate majority that retains moderate opinions yet responds positively to recruitment by extremists. We break down this task into three steps. First, we theoretically distinguish between opinion homophily and identity homophily (i.e., individuals who share the same identity interact more). …”

Electric field induced associations in the double layer of salt-in-ionic-liquid electrolytes by Markiewitz, Daniel M, Goodwin, Zachary AH, McEldrew, Michael, Pedro de Souza, J, Zhang, Xuhui, Espinosa-Marzal, Rosa M, Bazant, Martin Z

“…However, at large negative voltages, which are strong enough to break the alkali metal cation–anion associations, these IL cations are exchanged for the alkali metal cation because of their higher charge density. …”

SU(3) topological insulators in the honeycomb lattice by Bornheimer, U., Miniatura, Christian, Grémaud, B.

“…While SU ( 2 ) spin-orbit couplings always lead to time-reversal symmetric tight-binding models, and thereby to topologically trivial band structures, suitable SU ( 3 ) spin-orbit couplings can break time-reversal symmetry and lead to topologically nontrivial bulk band structures and to edge states in the strip geometry. …”

All-fiber short-wavelength tunable mode-locked fiber laser using normal dispersion thulium-doped fiber by Chen, Shaoxiang, Chen, Yuhao, Liu, Kun, Sidharthan, Raghuraman, Li, Huizi, Chang, Chen Jian, Wang, Qi Jie, Tang, Dingyuan, Yoo, Seongwoo

“…The all-fiber amplifier delivers 2.76 ps pulses with an energy of ∼32.7 nJ without pulse break-up, due to the normal dispersion nature of the gain fiber, which marks so far, the highest energy amongst fiber lasers in the 1700 nm-1800 nm region.…”

Predicting EPL results with Elo rating, league simulation and machine learning prediction model by Ching, Kai Teng

“…Team strength can be handicapped when the key player is injured or is forced to take an international break in favor of playing for his country. Even past results may be skewed as there are home teams and away teams in football matches and past results sometimes may be skewed towards having a weaker opponent. …”

The effect of build orientation and testing temperature on mechanical properties of polyamide-12 printed by multi jet fusion by Muhammad Fithri Bin Sadar

“…It was found that yield stress and Young’s modulus seem to decrease as temperature increases whereas the converse occurs for elongation at break. Additionally, the horizontal build orientation tends to yield higher mechanical properties than the other build orientations.…”

Cohort differences in physical health and disability in the United States and Europe by Gimeno, L, Goisis, A, Dowd, JB, Ploubidis, GB

“…Still, in both the United States and Europe, we observed a structural break in disability trends, with declines observed in prewar cohorts slowing, stalling, or reversing for cohorts born since 1945. …”

Characterisation of Topoisomerase 1-cleavage complex repair by Lascaux, P

“…As part of its enzymatic activity, TOP1 covalently binds to DNA, creating an intermediate known as TOP1 cleavage complex (TOP1cc) and a single strand DNA break which allows DNA to unwind. If not quickly repaired, TOP1cc hinders the progression of DNA replication and transcription, fostering genomic instability. …”

Identifying mechanisms involved in the resistance of homologous recombination defective Dictyostelium cells to ART inhibitors by Kolb, A

“…We further identify that HR inhibition is toxic for cells disrupted in the single-strand break responding PARP Adprt2, whereas an additional loss of the non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ)-promoting PARP Adprt1a renders cells resistant to the treatment. …”

Tapioca starch-based films containing oregano, Vietnamese mint, and curry leaf essential oils for food packaging applications by Othman, Siti Hajar, Kahar, Nurul Syafqah, Nordin, Norhazirah, Alyas, Nur Diyana, Noor Hasnan, Noor Zafira, Abdul Talib, Rosnita, Karyadi, Joko Nugroho Wahyu

“…It was observed that the incorporation of EOs into the starch films improved the elongation at break, especially at higher concentrations. These films became slightly yellowish and more opaque. …”

Development of active packaging films from semirefined carrageenan integrated with rosemary essential oil and TiO2 nanoparticles by Khadijah Husna, Abd Hamid, Tarchiani, Jayakumar, Sarmeswari, Gunasegaran, Nurul Aini, Mohd Azman

“…The SRC film with 1 wt% TiO2NPs exhibited the highest tensile strength (26.5890 MPa), while the incorporation of 0.5 wt% REO in the SRC/TiO2 films enhanced the elongation at break of the SRC films. The presence of TiO2NPs and REO reduced the moisture content and water solubility of the SRC films. …”
