Annual budgets and rolling budgets use in UK and Australian firms by Bhimani, A, Sivabalan, P, Soonawalla, K, Wakefield, J

“…We find that despite concerns about its applicability, the annual budget overwhelmingly remains a critical planning and control tool, but functions as a performance evaluation tool to a lesser extent. Nearly a third of firms use rolling budgets, for various reasons including planning and control, aligning with annual budgets. …”

Deep mutation, insertion and deletion scanning across the Enterovirus A proteome reveals constraints shaping viral evolution by Bakhache, W, Symonds-Orr, W, McCormick, L, Dolan, PT

“…We engineered approximately 45,000 insertions, 6,000 deletions and 41,000 amino acid substitutions across the nearly 2,200 coding positions of the Enterovirus A71 proteome, quantifying their effects on viral fitness by population sequencing. …”

Search for top squark pair production in a final state with at least one hadronically decaying tau lepton in proton-proton collisions at √𝑠 = 13 TeV by Tumasyan, A., Adam, W., Andrejkovic, J. W., Bergauer, T., Chatterjee, S., Damanakis, K., Dragicevic, M., Escalante Del Valle, A., Hussain, P. S., Jeitler, M., Krammer, N., Lechner, L., Liko, D., Mikulec, I., Paulitsch, P., Schieck, J., Schöfbeck, R.

“…The results probe top squark masses up to 1150 GeV for a nearly massless neutralino. This search covers a relatively less explored parameter space in the context of supersymmetry, and the exclusion limit is the most stringent to date for the model considered here.…”

Engineering bunched Pt-Ni alloy nanocages for efficient oxygen reduction in practical fuel cells by Tian, Xinlong, Zhao, Xiao, Su, Ya-Qiong, Wang, Lijuan, Wang, Hongming, Dang, Dai, Chi, Bin, Liu, Hongfang, Hensen, Emiel J. M., Lou, David Xiong Wen, Xia, Bao Yu

“…We report one-dimensional bunched platinum-nickel (Pt-Ni) alloy nanocages with a Pt-skin structure for the oxygen reduction reaction that display high mass activity (3.52 amperes per milligram platinum) and specific activity (5.16 milliamperes per square centimeter platinum), or nearly 17 and 14 times higher as compared with a commercial platinum on carbon (Pt/C) catalyst. …”

Does everyone have the potential to achieve their ideal body weight? Lay theories about body weight and support for price discrimination policies by Li, Kevin Shaobo, Kokkoris, Michail D., Savani, Krishna

“…Six studies identified a novel lay theory—whether people believe that nearly everyone (the universal belief) or only some people (the nonuniversal belief) can achieve their ideal body weight. …”

Bio-catalyzed oxidation self-charging zinc-polymer batteries by Pan, Jun, Liu, Yanhong, Yang, Jian, Wu, Jiawen, Fan, Hong Jin

“…The battery can discharge for 12 min (0.5 C) after 50 self-charging/discharge cycles, while there is nearly no discharge capacity in the absence of Hb. …”

Breaking barriers with memes: how memes bridge political cynicism to online political participation by Ahmed, Saifuddin, Masood, Muhammad

“…While numerous studies have explored the participatory benefits of social media use for political participation, the empirical literature on the mobilizing role of political memes is nearly absent. In addition, most of the attention has been on Western democratic contexts. …”

Theoretical Modelling and Facile Synthesis of a Highly Active Boron-Doped Palladium Catalyst for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction by Vo Doan, Tat Thang, Wang, Jingbo, Poon, Kee Chun, Tan, Desmond Chun Long, Khezri, Bahareh, Webster, Richard David, Su, Haibin, Sato, Hirotaka

“…Our theoretical modelling reveals that B-doped Pd (Pd-B) weakens the absorption of ORR intermediates with nearly optimal binding energy by lowering the barrier associated with O2 dissociation, suggesting Pd-B should be highly active for ORR. …”
