The effects of Indonesia's ‘Midwife in the Village’ programme 10 years post-launch by Triyana, Margaret

“…Data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (1993–2000) were used to examine whether the effects of the Indonesian ‘Midwife in the Village’ programme persisted more than 10 years after its implementation. The study followed up earlier studies of the programme’s effects by estimating its effects on pregnancy outcomes, using propensity-score matching applied to data collected after the 1997 Asian economic crisis. …”

Serum-free media studies of human embryonic stem cell culture on microcarriers by Chen, Xiaoli.

“…The 2 key properties of human embryonic stem cells (hESC), namely pluripotency and unlimited self-renewal, give them a great potential in the area of stem cell research and applications in cell therapy. It has been shown that human embryonic stem cells (hESC) can be grown and maintained on microcarriers using both defined, serum-free media, and MEF-CM. …”

Cobalt-Catalyzed, Imine-Directed Olefin Hydroarylation under Grignard-Free Conditions by Xu, Wengang, Pek, Jie Hui, Yoshikai, Naohiko

“…With the appropriate choice of the ligand and other reaction conditions, ketimine- or aldimine-directed branched selective hydroarylations of styrenes and ketimine-directed hydroarylations of vinylsilane have been achieved. The reported catalytic systems may serve as more convenient alternatives to previously developed catalytic systems employing Grignard reagents as reducing agents.…”

Free fermion six vertex model: symmetric functions and random domino tilings by Aggarwal, Amol, Borodin, Alexei, Petrov, Leonid, Wheeler, Michael

“…Abstract Our work deals with symmetric rational functions and probabilistic models based on the fully inhomogeneous six vertex (ice type) model satisfying the free fermion condition. Two families of symmetric rational functions $$F_\lambda ,G_\lambda $$ F λ , G λ are defined as certain partition functions of the six vertex model, with variables corresponding to row rapidities, and the labeling signatures $$\lambda =(\lambda _1\ge \ldots \ge \lambda _N)\in {\mathbb {Z}}^N$$ λ = ( λ 1 ≥ … ≥ λ N ) ∈ Z N encoding boundary conditions. …”
