Piezoelectric single crystal based one-dimensional phased array for breast tissue imaging by Du, Wenya

“…The 1D array exhibits promising acoustic performance with i) a maximum imaging depth of 80 mm, ii) contrast sensitivity of 3 dB, iii) axial/lateral resolutions of 0.25/1.0 mm at 30 mm depth, and iv) a larger field of view than the commercial handheld linear probe at depths of approximately 30 mm or deeper, indicating a potential reliable capability to detect early-stage breast tumors. …”

Coseismic and postseismic slip of the 2005 Mw8.6 Nias‐Simeulue earthquake : spatial overlap and localized viscoelastic flow by Qiu, Qiang, Feng, Lujia, Hermawan, Iwan, Hill, Emma M.

“…We also find that the viscoelastic flow in the mantle wedge following this event was likely localized beneath the downdip region of the coseismic slip, rather than uniformly layered across the area as assumed by forward models. …”

British Muslim youth and religious fundamentalism: a quantitative investigation by Kashyap, R, Lewis, VA

“…We use new survey data to empirically examine how Muslim youth differ from older Muslims and non-Muslim British peers on religiosity, Islam-specific and broader social attitudes. We find that young Muslims attribute a greater salience to Islam for their personal identity, even though they pray and read scripture less, and support plural interpretations of Islam more than their elders. …”

Exogenous shocks and exchange rate regimes by Chia, Wai-Mun, Cheng, Tianyin, Li, Mengling

“…From both the theoretical model and empirical evidence, we find that (i) output responses to terms-of-trade and foreign interest rate shocks are smoother in floats, (ii) price responses to terms-of-trade shocks are smoother in floats than in pegs, while its responses to foreign interest shocks are more volatile in floats than in pegs, and (iii) the effects of terms-of-trade and foreign interest shocks are more prolonged under floats.…”
