The Hierarchy of Victimhood: Prisons and States’ Responsibility to Protect Every Victim of Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking by Jovanović, M, Topp, V, Fluhr, F

“…In an environment where being a victim of a crime and human rights violation both matter less than the State’s interest in immigration and crime control, prisons will struggle to deliver on their commitment and international obligation to protect those inmates who have been or are at risk of being exploited.…”

Well-posedness and stability of a stochastic neural field in the form of a partial differential equation by Carrillo de la Plata, JA, Roux, P, Solem, S

“…The system was rigorously derived from a stochastic particle system and its noisedriven pattern-forming bifurcations have been characterised. However, due to its nonlinear and non-local nature, standard well-posedness theory for smooth time-dependent solutions of parabolic equations does not apply. …”

Automatic retrieval of visual continuity errors in movies by Pickup, L, Zisserman, A

“…We discover mistakes that have previously been missed in the listings for these movies on such websites as moviemistakes.com.…”

Safe POMDP online planning among dynamic agents via adaptive conformal prediction by Sheng, S, Yu, P, Parker, D, Kwiatkowska, M, Feng, L

Piecewise damage model for SiC/SiC composites with multilevel experimental validation by Shi, D, Wang, Z, Marrow, J, Liu, C, Wan, F, Yang, X

“…Using multiscale and multidimensional data from experiments and advanced microscopic characterisation, a piecewise damage model for SiC/SiC composite structures has been proposed. First, the geometric information of the microstructure was acquired using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray computed tomography (X-CT). …”

The political-economic risks of AI by Carvalho, J-P

“…The political and economic risks of artificial intelligence have been over shadowed by fears of malicious superintelligence and killer robots. …”

Sacred rubble and humble shelters: German church building after the Second World War by Betts, PR

“…After the war, church-building resumed its leading historical role from before the Industrial Revolution as the avant-garde of innovative international architecture, although its comeback has been largely overlooked by architectural and cultural historians alike. …”

Stable transformation of pleomorphic bloodstream form Trypanosoma brucei by MacGregor, P, Rojas, F, Dean, S, Matthews, KR

“…However, most trypanosome studies are carried out on laboratory-adapted monomorphic cell lines, incapable of differentiating to stumpy-forms or completing the life cycle through the tsetse fly. Partly, this has been due to the inefficiency of transfection of pleomorphic strains which have retained the ability to generate stumpy-forms. …”

Identification of the meiotic life cycle stage of Trypanosoma brucei in the tsetse fly by Peacock, L, Ferris, V, Sharma, R, Sunter, J, Bailey, M, Carrington, M, Gibson, W

“…Genetic exchange occurs in the parasitic protists Trypanosoma brucei, T. cruzi, and Leishmania major, but the precise cellular mechanisms are unknown, because the process has not been observed directly. Here we exploit the identification of homologs of meiotic genes in the T. brucei genome and demonstrate that three functionally distinct, meiosis-specific proteins are expressed in the nucleus of a single specific cell type, defining a previously undescribed developmental stage occurring within the tsetse fly salivary gland. …”

J-integral analysis: an EDXD and DIC comparative study for a fatigue crack by Koko, A, Earp, P, Wigger, T, Tong, J, Marrow, TJ

“…Synchrotron Energy Dispersive X-ray Diffraction (EDXD) and Digital Image Correlation (DIC) have been applied to map simultaneously the 2D elastic strain and displacement fields of a propagating fatigue crack in the HAZ of a welded Cr2Ni4MoV bainitic steel. …”

Opportunities for decarbonization in Russia by Sharmina, M

“…A gas supply deal with China has been fast tracked and signed after a decade of negotiations.…”

Which children have rights? The child’s right to bodily integrity and protection gaps for children with intersex traits under international and national laws by DeLaet, DL, Earp, BD, Mills, E

“…However, these global norms generally have not been codified under international law, and most countries have not passed adequate, or any, legislation to secure these rights. …”

Platelets sequester extracellular DNA, capturing tumour-derived and free foetal DNA by Murphy, L

“…This study establishes a physiological role for platelets that has not previously been highlighted, with broad relevance in human biology and potential for clinical translation. …”

Authenticity and other textual problems in Heroides 16 by Heyworth, S

“…Above all, weighty arguments have been used to question Ovid's authorship not just of some of these poems, as is the case with the single epistles (Heroides 1–15), but all of them; and if they are by Ovid, when do they belong in his career as a poet, and how might answers to these questions affect our interpretation of what we read? …”

Topology surveillance of the lanosterol demethylase CYP51A1 by signal peptide peptidase by Sergejevs, N, Avci, D, van de Weijer, ML, Corey, RA, Lemberg, MK, Carvalho, P

“…Cleavage of transmembrane segments on target proteins by the aspartyl intramembrane protease signal peptide peptidase (SPP, encoded by HM13) has been linked to immunity, viral infection and protein quality control. …”

TORCH — an innovative high-precision time-of-flight PID detector for the LHCb upgrade by Föhl, K, Brook, N, García, LC, Cowie, EN, Cussans, D, Forty, R, Frei, C, Gao, R, Gys, T, Harnew, N, Piedigrossi, D, van Dijk, M

“…Optical design studies have been performed for using one of the available bar boxes of the BaBar DIRC detector containing assembled quartz radiator bars in a future test beam experiment.…”

Single photon counting x-ray diffraction techniques for the investigation of shock compressed condensed matter by Patel, S

“…Using CCDs in this way has not been done before in a high power laser experiment. …”

Laser-written scalable sapphire integrated photonics platform by Wang, M, Salter, PS, Payne, FP, Liu, T, Booth, MJ, Fells, JAJ

“…A number of structures have been fabricated with simultaneous single-mode and polarization independent operation: evanescently coupled waveguide arrays, Y-branch splitters, Mach-Zehnder interferometers, and a 2 × 2 directional-coupler. …”

Morphological supply in response to systemic demand: the Greek past iteratives from birth to death by Willi, A

“…The Homeric past iteratives in -σκε/ο- have been the object of much discussion, notably with regard to their Indo-European background and the question whether their creation is due to language contact with Anatolian, where the Hittite formations in -ške- seem to play a somewhat similar semantic role. …”

Reactive synthesis of dominant strategies by Aminof, B, De Giacomo, G, Rubin, S

“…We consider the case where the agent cannot enforce its goal --- for which the argument for using best-effort strategies has been made --- and study the intermediate ground, between enforcing and best-effort strategies, of dominant strategies. …”
