Nebular dominated galaxies: insights into the stellar initial mass function at high redshift by Cameron, AJ, Katz, H, Witten, C, Saxena, A, Laporte, N, Bunker, A

“…The nebular-only scenario could arise if the ionising source has ‘turned off’ more recently than the recombination timescale (∼1,000 yr), hence we may be catching the object at a very specific time. …”

Delay-and-pay: prolonging pharmaceutical patent protection without paying the ‘price’ by Foss-Solbrekk, K

“…</p> <br> <p>After discussing the incentives behind the delay-and-pay strategy, the thesis turns to the ‘how’. It starts by showing how actors now protect medicines with large patent portfolios comprising several different patents, which lays the basis for the structure of subsequent chapters. …”

Governance in international trade beyond the state: Collective agency, the actorness of trading blocs, and institutional learning by Stiller, KT

A landscape of conflict? Rural fortifications in the Argolid (400 – 146 BC) by Blomley, AM

“…</p> <br> <p>In chapters 5–7, the study turns to the analysis of the Late Classical and Hellenistic rural fortifications in the Argolid. …”

Potting in the pandemic: investigating pottery skill development and its wellbeing impacts in Covid-19 Britain by O'Brien, CRK

“…The Covid-19 lockdowns in Britain during 2020 and 2021 deprived people of access to studios and workshops in which we typically understand the learning and practising of skilled crafts to occur through working amongst others with materials. In response, people turned to online video tutorials, social media, printed materials, and pre-made kits, to learn at home outside of the physical and social structures offered by the classroom or studio. …”

How content attributes of short video influence online purchase intention: the mediating role of perceived value by Fan, Wenjing, Osman, Syuhaily, Zainudin, Norzalina, Pinyi, Yao

Scheduled activity energy-aware distributed cluster- based routing algorithm for wireless sensor networks with non-uniform node distribution by Nokhanji, Nooshin

“…It identifies the redundant sensor nodes, whose sensing coverage area are also covered completely by their direct neighbors and turns off them. In order to schedule the activity of these sensor nodes and to avoid creation of coverage holes, a distributed self-inactivation approach is proposed, in which the redundant sensor nodes work alternatively based on their residual energy. …”

Optimal locally repairable codes via elliptic curves by Li, Xudong, Ma, Liming, Xing, Chaoping

“…In this paper, we make use of rich algebraic structures of elliptic curves to construct a family of q-ary optimal locally repairable codes of length up to q+2√(q). It turns out that locality of our codes can be as big as 23 and distance can be linear in length.…”

The hierarchy of Davydov’s Ansätze: from guesswork to numerically “exact” many-body wave functions by Zhao, Yang

“…Momentum-space projection of these solitary waves turned up to be accurate variational ground-state wave functions for the extended Holstein molecular crystal model, lend ing unambiguous evidence to the absence of formal quantum phase transitions in the Holstein systems. …”

Temporal and Spatial Variations of the Solar Radiation Observed in Singapore by Jayaraman, Ramkumar, Maskell, Douglas Leslie

“…Thus, to properly understand the dynamic fluctuations observed in the output energies of large solar farms and PV arrays, it becomes necessary to perform a high-resolution temporal and spatial measurement of solar radiation. It turns out that performing such high-resolution measurements is often cost-prohibitive. …”

Sputtered PdO decorated TiO2 sensing layer for a hydrogen gas sensor by Lee, Jeong Hoon, Kwak, Seungmin, Lee, Jin-Hyung, Kim, Inho, Yoo, Yong Kyoung, Lee, Tae Hoon, Shim, Young-Seok, Kim, Jinseok, Lee, Kyu Hyoung

“…Using an in situ TiO2/Pd multilayer annealing process at 550°C for 1 hour, we observed that Pd turns into PdO by Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) depth profile and confirmed decorated PdO on TiO2 sensing layer from scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic-force microscope (AFM). …”

Surface molecular doping of all-inorganic perovskite using zethrenes molecules by Arramel, Pan, Hu, Xie, Aozhen, Hou, Songyan, Yin, Xinmao, Tang, Chi Sin, Hoa, Nguyen T., Muhammad D. Birowosuto, Wang, Hong, Dang, Cuong, Rusydi, Andrivo, Wee Andrew T. S., Wu, Jishan

“…The photoluminescence behavior of the underlying perovskites upon differing molecular doping conditions was examined. It turns out that the charge transfer dynamics of thermally-evaporated OZ-TIPS molecule exhibited a faster average lifetime than that of the HZ-TIPS case suggesting the importance of the biradical state in the former molecule. …”

Cluster-based information fusion for probabilistic risk analysis in complex projects under uncertainty by Zhang, Limao, Wang, Ying, Wu, Xianguo

“…Risk factors are quantified into a continuous numeric scale for risk level classification and each factor value is turned into a basic probability assignment (BPA). …”

Spatiotemporal-restricted A∗ algorithm as a support for lane-free traffic at intersections with mixed flows by Chi, Haifei, Cai, Pinlong, Fu, Daocheng, Zhai, Junda, Zeng, Yadan, Shi, Botian

“…First, we restrict the feasible area of the heuristic search algorithm by considering the feasible area and orientation of vehicles to maintain the trajectory directionality of different turning behaviors. Second, we propose a spatiotemporal sparse sampling method by defining the four-dimensional spatiotemporal grid to accelerate the execution of the heuristic search algorithm. …”

HiTrip: Historical trajectory interpolation for trawlers via deep learning on multi-source data by Zhao, Zhongning, Chen, Jiaxuan, Shi, Yuqi, Hong, Feng, Jiang, Guiyuan, Huang, Haiguang, Zhao, Jinhua

“…One inherent challenge for precise interpolation is the stark contrast between trawler movement patterns during steaming, characterized by straight lines, and fishing, which often involves consecutive turns. In this study, we introduce HiTrip, a deep learning approach that interpolates historical VMS data from two-hour intervals down to three minutes by harnessing both VMS and marine hydrological datasets. …”

Tectonics of the semi-permanent: Reassembling fit-out architecture by Schnitzler, Jenna

“…The uneven wearing that Bolton wrote about in 1911, appears again in the iconic shearing layers diagram from Frank Duffy and Stewart Brand, who make a very similar economic argument, demonstrating that the economically fast-wearing interior layer accumulates the most investment over time, rebuilt on a cycle of every 5-10 years. We are facing a turning point in building; as of 2020, over 35% of total construction activity is renovation work, and we are making increasingly rapid changes to building function. …”

Young male motorcycle rider perception response times to abrupt- and gradual-onset hazards by Wong, Grace, Wong, Yiik Diew

“…Initial deviation from the straight path (start of turning manoeuvre) of the intruding hazard vehicle was determined to be a more appropriate onset (start point when measuring RTs) for gradual-onset hazards when compared with referencing the onset against travel lane incursions. …”
