Urban Big Data: City Management and Real Estate Markets by Barkham, Richard, Bokhari, Sheharyar, Saiz, Albert

“…We forecast that smart city technologies will reinforce the primacy of the most successful global metropolises at least for a decade or more. A few select metropolises in emerging countries may also leverage these technologies to leapfrog on the provision of local public services. …”

Open volume defect accumulation with irradiation in GaN, GaP, InAs, InP, Si, ZnO, and MgO by Logan, JV, Woller, KB, Webster, PT, Morath, CP, Short, MP

“…As a function of dose, of the materials in which defect accumulation could be probed, it is observed that GaN is the most resistant to the accumulation of defects (attributed to the Ga vacancies) and Si is the least. GaP (attributed to the Ga vacancy) and InAs exhibit slightly higher rates of vacancy accumulation than GaN. …”

Review of Experimental Work in Biomimetic Foils by Triantafyllou, Michael S., Techet, Alexandra H., Hover, Franz S.

“…This review focuses primarily on experimental studies on some of the, at least partially understood, mechanisms, which include 1) the formation of streets of vortices around and behind two- and three-dimensional propulsive oscillating foils; 2) the formation of vortical structures around and behind two- and three-dimensional foils used for maneuvering, hovering, or fast-starting; 3) the formation of leading-edge vortices in flapping foils, under steady flapping or transient conditions; 4) the interaction of foils with oncoming, externally generated vorticity; multiple foils, or foils operating near a body or wall.…”

Precise inversion of logged slownesses for elastic parameters in a gas shale formation by Miller, Douglas E., Horne, Steve A., Walsh, John

“…More importantly, these data clearly show that, at least for fast anisotropic formations such as this gas shale, sonic logs measure group slownesses for propagation with the group angle equal to the borehole inclination angle. …”

Tropical Pacific SST and ITCZ biases in climate models : double trouble for future rainfall projections? by Samanta, Dhrubajyoti, Karnauskas, Kristopher B., Goodkin, Nathalie F.

“…Using historical simulations of 24 coupled general circulation models and an atmospheric general circulation model, we show that cold equatorial SST biases at least exacerbate double Intertropical Convergence Zone biases in the Pacific. …”

Backbone boogie : dance the osteoporosis away! by Gey, Elainn Yee Rong, Lim, Cheryl Yi Xuan, Tan, Cammie Yi Jia

“…Based on the formative research gathered, reducing susceptibility to osteoporosis was found to be largely dependent on early prevention through a combination of calcium, vitamin D and regular weight-bearing exercise. Exercise was the least known aspect of osteoporosis prevention by the target audience and about 50% did not regularly exercise at all. …”

Ship emissions accounting in the port of Singapore – a preliminary analysis on the crude oil tanker segment by Tan, Lovine Nin

“…Furthermore in early 2022, the Ministry of Transport announced the Maritime Singapore Decarbonisation Blueprint 2050, which included measures specifically related to emissions in Singapore ports, as well as an investment of at least $300 million to reduce emissions in the maritime industry. …”

Frames over finite fields: equiangular lines in orthogonal geometry by Greaves, Gary Royden Watson, Iverson, Joseph W., Jasper, John, Mixon, Dustin G.

“…The constraints in our finite field setting are weaker, and all but 18 known SRG parameters on v≤1300 vertices satisfy at least one of them. Applying our results to triangular graphs, we deduce that Gerzon's bound is attained in finite orthogonal geometries of infinitely many dimensions. …”

Exciton lasing in carbon nanotubes below the population-inversion threshold via phonon-mediated stimulated emission by Dal Forno, Stefano, Battiato, Marco

“…Excitonic optical transitions in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been extensively studied for at least two decades. However, exploiting these transitions to produce a lasing effect has been proved unpractical due to the difficulties of achieving an excitonic population inversion in carbon nanotubes. …”

Modulating sub-THz radiation with current in superconducting metamaterial by Savinov, V., Anlage, S. M., Groot, P. A. J. de., Fedotov, Vassili A., Zheludev, Nikolay I.

“…Using the metamaterial fabricated from thin niobium film, we were able to demonstrate a transmission modulation depth of up to 45% and a bandwidth of at least 100 kHz. The demonstrated approach may be implemented with other superconducting materials at frequencies below the superconducting gap in the THz and subterahertz bands.…”
