BKW EOS: history of modifications and further improvement of accuracy with temperature-dependent covolumes of polar molecules by Suceska, Muhamad, Chan, Serene Hay Yee, Stimac, Barbara, Dobrilovic, Mario

“…A hundred years ago (in 1921) Becker proposed an equation of state in which the repulsive term in van der Waals equation of state was replaced by an exponential function. Twenty years later, Kistiakowsky and Wilson modified Becker's equation and used it to calculate the detonation properties of nitroglycerine and mercury fulminate. …”

Development and control of a mini quad-copter by Tan, Wei Hong.

“…There will also be a detailed description on the hardware design in the later part of this report. The calibration process includes finding the calibration parameters based on the available source provided, which contains camera calibration tools used for MATLAB and also to determine the exact position of the Caspa VL camera on the mini quad-copter from the experiment conducted. …”

Intermittent demand forecasting by Mishra, Prerna.

“…Such forecast holds tremendous importance to business because erroneous forecast could lead to extremities of „over supply‟ or „under supply‟- former leading to damage to business by glut in the market and later by loosing brand image by failing customer‟s expectation. …”

Robotic mirror finishing KPV (key process variable) optimization in the aerospace industry by Ortiz, Walter Frank Pintor

“…Thanks to methods developed previously for designing experiments, such as the Taguchi method, working parameters are encountered and tuned. Later, using the ANOVA method allows the class definition of the variables and their pertinence in the overall experimentation. …”

Integrating BIM with RFID technology to develop an onsite precast element management system by Nguyen, Thi Hoai Thanh

“…However, BIM has the potential to enhance project management processes in the later phases of the project life, including precast concrete logistics management, if more dimensions of information are incorporated and managed in BIM. …”

Pleasant emotions widen thought-action repertoires, develop long-term resources, and improve reaction time performance: a multistudy examination of the broaden-and-build theory amo... by Thompson, Mark, Nicholls, Adam R., Toner, John, Perry, John L., Burke, Rachel

“…In Study 1b, 126 athletes from Study 1a repeated the same questionnaires 6 months later. In Study 2, 21 athletes were randomly allocated to an emotional (e.g., pleasant or unpleasant emotions) or control group and undertook a laboratory-based reaction-time task across three time points. …”

Detecting changes in population trends in infection surveillance using community SARS-CoV-2 prevalence as an exemplar by Pritchard, E, Vihta, K-D, Eyre, DW, Hopkins, S, Peto, TEA, Matthews, PC, Stoesser, N, Studley, R, Rourke, E, Diamond, I, Pouwels, KB, Walker, AS, COVID-19 Infection Survey Team

“…When estimating recent change-points using successive data periods, four change-points (4/96) identified by GAMs were not found when adding later data or by ISR. Change-points were detected 3-5 weeks after they occurred in both methods but could be detected earlier within specific subgroups. …”

Taste and see: real presence as revelation in Heideggerian perspective by Olson, JW

“…Language is then linked up with this pre-reflective understanding, first as discourse and then later as poetry, both of which disclose a fundamental world-orientation to language.…”

Structure of mushy layers grown from perfectly and imperfectly conducting boundaries. Part 1. Diffusive solidification by Hitchen, JR, Wells, AJ

“…For low concentration ratio the high porosity zone spans the full mush depth at early times, before localising near the mush–liquid interface at later times. Such variation of porosity has important implications for the properties and biological habitability of mushy sea ice.…”

Synthesis and characterization of bio-based flame-retardant coating for cotton fabric by Nurul Hidayah, Abu Bakar, Wan Norfazilah, Wan Ismail

“…The vertical burning test demonstrated that the coated cotton fabric sustained minimal damage, ignited later, and had shorter char length compared to the uncoated fabric. …”

Association between COVID-19 outcomes and mask mandates, adherence, and attitudes by Adjodah, Dhaval, Dinakar, Karthik, Chinazzi, Matteo, Fraiberger, Samuel P., Pentland, Alex, Bates, Samantha, Staller, Kyle, Vespignani, Alessandro, Bhatt, Deepak L.

“…We extend previous studies on the impact of masks on COVID-19 outcomes by investigating an unprecedented breadth and depth of health outcomes, geographical resolutions, types of mask mandates, early versus later waves and controlling for other government interventions, mobility testing rate and weather. …”

Cross-Shelf Exchange Driven by Dense Flow Down a Canyon by Mier, Christian M.

“…This return flow is initially driven by the dense water eddies descending the canyon and acting like a bucket brigade. At later times, another mechanism may also be at play where large dense cyclonic (anticlockwise) eddies on the northern continental shelf may pull more dense water out of the canyon producing a region of low pressure, near the canyon head, which induces an increase in ambient flow into the canyon. …”

Attempting developmental regionalism through AFTA : the domestic politics - domestic capital nexus by Helen E. S. Nesadurai

“…Althought AFTA is acknowledged as a project of open regionalism aimed at attracting FDI to Southeast Asian region, its member surprisingly chose to accord foreign investors full market access and national treatment privileges at least ten years later than to ASEAN national investors in AFTA's investment liberalisation component programme. …”

Maternal separation does not produce a significant behavioral change in mice by Tan, Shawn, Ho, Hin San, Song, Anna Yoonsu, Low, Joey, Je, Shawn Hyunsoo

“…Early life adversities together with genetic predispositions have been associated with elevated risks of neuropsychiatric disorders during later life. In order to investigate the underlying mechanisms, many chronic, early-life stress paradigms in multiple animal models have been developed. …”
