Forwards in time approaches to understanding genealogies in Λ-Fleming-Viot type models by Wiederhold, B

“…Analytically, to infer information about genealogies, so events in the past, it is normally useful to reverse the flow of time and consider the behaviour of samples through the model backwards in time. …”

Self-reported weight changes in 1st year university students in England: an analysis of social and physical environment by Vadeboncoeur, C

“…This WC in first year university students (FYUS) is described as the Freshmen 15, in reference to claims that students gain 15lbs (6.8kg) over the academic year. Past research suggest the WC is closer to an average of 2kg and is due to physical inactivity, stress and poor diet. …”

Actuator disk methods for tidal turbine arrays by Hunter, W

“…</p> <p>However, it is now well accepted that the flow past turbines that are constrained by the local sea bed, sea surface, and possibly also neighbouring turbines and channel sides, will differ markedly from that of an ostensibly unblocked wind turbine. …”

Space weather radiation effects on geostationary satellite solid-state power amplifiers by Lohmeyer, W. Q., Cahoy, K. L.

“…Our observations suggest that internal charging from either past elevated radiation belt fluxes or some conditions related to relativistic electron enhancements (either causally or accidentally) is most likely responsible for the SSPA anomalies. …”

Fluid-fluid displacement in porous-media microfluidics by Qiu, Yu

“…Immiscible fluid-fluid displacement under geometric confinement is a key physical process in large-scale subsurface energy technologies such as geologic carbon sequestration and in small-scale microfluidic techniques. Research over the past few decades has provided improved understanding of the fluid-fluid displacement patterns on the macroscopic scale, which range from compact displacement to fractal pattern. …”

How to learn Chinese characters? Exploring the effectiveness of different learning methods in young Singaporean children by Toh, Wendy Hwee Bin

“…Biscriptal literacy development can be challenging if the two writing systems are starkly different. Past research on early Chinese word reading and instruction has mainly focused on children in Mandarin-speaking societies or adult foreign/second language learners. …”

当青春成为最后的乌托邦 ：探析 "小字辈" 文本所影射的文化现象 = When youth becomes the last utopia : a study of the 'tiny texts' cultural phenomena by 王捷灵 Ong, Cerys Jie Ling

“…This paper analyses “tiny texts” (texts beginning with “xiao” meaning “tiny” in Chinese) that have proliferated in the Chinese cultural entertainment market over the past ten years. By interpreting them as social texts—observing them in the socio-political and economic context that gave rise to the texts—the commonalities within and around these texts serve as a point of departure for investigation of the larger cultural phenomena they represent. …”

Investigating spatio-temporal variability of initial ²³⁰Th/²³²Th in intertidal corals by Chiang, Hong-Wei, Philibosian, Belle, Meltzner, Aron J., Wu, Chung-Che, Shen, Chuan-Chou, Edwards, R. Lawrence, Chuang, Chih-Kai, Suwargadi, Bambang W., Natawidjaja, Danny H.

“…There were no clear centennial to millennial time-scale changes in 230Th/232Th0 in the past 2500 years. This study, therefore, suggests a reliable value of initial 230Th/232Th ratio in intertidal environments.…”
