On the largest product-free subsets of the alternating groups by Keevash, Peter, Lifshitz, Noam, Minzer, Dor

“…We solve this problem for large n $n$ , showing that the maximum size is achieved by the previously conjectured extremal examples, namely families of the form { π : π ( x ) ∈ I , π ( I ) ∩ I = ∅ } $\left \{ \pi :\,\pi (x)\in I, \pi (I)\cap I=\varnothing \right \} $ and their inverses. …”

Comparison of models to predict incident chronic liver disease: a systematic review and external validation in Chinese adults by Cong, X, Song, S, Li, Y, Song, K, MacLeod, C, Cheng, Y, Lv, J, Yu, C, Sun, D, Pei, P, Yang, L, Chen, Y, Millwood, I, Wu, S, Yang, X, Stevens, R, Chen, J, Chen, Z, Li, L, Kartsonaki, C, Pang, Y

“…Models with high discrimination (C-index ≥ 0.70) in CKB were as follows: (1) general population: Li-2018 and Wen 1–2012 for HCC, CLivD score (non-lab and lab) and dAAR for CLD; (2) hepatitis B virus (HBV) infected individuals: Cao-2021 for HCC and CAP-B for CLD. In CKB, all models tended to overestimate the risk (O:E ratio 0.55–0.94). …”

Inferring passenger responses to urban rail disruptions using smart card data: A probabilistic framework by Mo, Baichuan, Koutsopoulos, Haris N, Zhao, Jinhua

“…This study proposes a probabilistic framework to infer passengers’ responses to unplanned urban rail service disruptions using smart card data in tap-in-only public transit systems. We first identify 19 possible response behaviors that passengers may have based on their decision-making times and locations (i.e, the stage of their trips when an incident happened), including transferring to a bus line, canceling trips, waiting, delaying departure time, etc. …”

The effects of processing conditions on the morphology of single conjugated polymers. by Yeo, Hui Lin.

“…Spun-cast single chains were largely found to give neat intensity traces exhibiting discrete emission levels and clear off-states, suggesting a compact and collapsed disordered conformation favoring efficient energy funneling to one or a few low-energy exciton traps. These emissive centers of the collapsed chain were proposed to be intrachain aggregates consisting of closely π-stacked segments, therefore possessing weak oscillator strength and an extended radiative lifetime. …”

Developing a novel approach to map signals required for GalNAcT2 relocation. by Tan, Wei Ling.

“…Furthermore, to minimise the loss of GFP signals through anterograde trafficking of GalNAcT2 GFP FkBP mutant proteins, a new system was developed to trap these relocated proteins in ER upon addition of drug. …”

Controlled Growth and Reliable Thickness-Dependent Properties of Organic-Inorganic Perovskite Platelet Crystal by Niu, Lin, Zeng, Qingsheng, Shi, Jia, Cong, Chunxiao, Wu, Chunyang, Liu, Fucai, Zhou, Jiadong, Fu, Wei, Fu, Qundong, Jin, Chuanhong, Yu, Ting, Liu, Xinfeng, Liu, Zheng

“…Furthermore, from the time-resolved photoluminescence measurements, the best optoelectronic performance of the perovskite platelet is attributed with thickness of ≈30 nm to its dominant longest lifetime (≈4.5 ns) of perovskite excitons, which means lower surface traps or defects. This work supplies an alternative to the synthesis of high-quality organic perovskite and their possible optoelectronic applications with the most suitable materials.…”

Behaviors of floating droplet by Kan, Kah Hou

“…Investigation reveals the formation and transition of flow pattern and vorticity originates from the complex thermo-solutal Marangoni convection induced by the evaporating cap. A droplet forming two stable axis-symmetrical counter circulating flow during evaporation is seen to collapse into a large rotating vortical flow non-periodically. …”
