Positive bias-induced Vth instability in graphene field effect transistors by Liu, W. J., Fang, Z., Wang, Z. R., Wang, F., Wu, L., Zhang, J. F., Wei, J., Zhu, H. L., Sun, Xiaowei, Tran, Xuan Anh, Ng, Geok Ing, Yu, Hongyu

“…The 1/f noise measurement indicates no newly generated traps in SiO2/graphene interface caused by positive bias stressing. Mobility is seen to degrade with temperature in- creasing. The degradation is believed to be caused by the trapped electrons in bulk SiO2 or SiO2/graphene interface and trap generation in bulk SiO2.…”

Labour pains: mothers and motherhood on the British left in the twentieth century by Riley, CL, Jenkins, L, Baughan, E

“…On the other hand, motherhood has been seen as a ‘natural’ function of women and a private responsibility, rather than a public good or a collective act which needs comprehensive state support. …”

Maxwell-type models for the effective thermal conductivity of a porous material with radiative transfer in the voids by Kiradjiev, KB, Halvorsen, SA, Van Gorder, RA, Howison, SD

“…Indeed, the utility of these models over classical Maxwell-type models is seen in the high-temperature regime, where they predict that the effective thermal conductivity of the composite material levels off to a constant value (as a function of temperature) at very high temperatures, provided that the material is not too porous, in agreement with experiments. …”

Urban trust in Kenya and Tanzania: Cooperation in the provision of public goods by Burbidge, D

“…In Kisumu, in contrast, with participants reflective of the dominant Luo ethnicity, the lack of state provision of public services has seen a feeble and individualistic response. The findings demonstrate how ethnic distribution matters less for public goods provision than commitments amongst citizens themselves and between citizens and local authorities.…”

Adopting Quality for School Readiness (AQSR): a heuristic framework using recommended practice and professional knowledge to support oral language in multilingual classrooms by Nag, S, Arulmani, G, Jhingran, D, Mirković, J, Oancea, A, Snowling, M

“…Supporting child talk was seen to serve a motivational-affective purpose more than the cognitive-linguistic purposes implicit in research-informed recommended practices. …”

Advancing multiple-use water services for development in low- and middle-income countries by Stellenbauer, M, Jepson, W, Lefore, N, Thomson, P

“…Multiple-use water services (MUS) encompass a variety of water services that span the various livelihood strategies commonly seen in communities throughout low- and middle-income countries. …”

Psychedelics for the Treatment of Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder: Efficacy and Proposed Mechanisms by Collins, HM

Augmented reality application for chemical engineering unit operations by Gunawan, P, Kwan, J, Cai, Y, Yang, R

“…An important example is the continuous distillation column, which operation is often seen as a black box, where the incoming feed will undergo separation process inside the column to produce desired products. …”

Monstrans de droit, petition of right, and liability for Crown debt by Getzler, J

“…A vested right to property was seen as a stronger claim than an action to enforce an executory or precatory obligation, and as such could be claimed by a summary version of the petition of right known as monstrans de droit, a demonstration or plea of right. …”

The immunology underlying CNS autoantibody diseases by Cleaver, J, Ceronie, B, Strippel, C, Handel, A, Irani, SR

“…The past two decades have seen a considerable paradigm shift in the way autoimmune CNS disorders are considered, diagnosed, and treated; largely due to the discovery of novel autoantibodies directed at neuroglial surface or intracellular targets. …”

Joint manifold distance: a new approach to appearance based clustering by Fitzgibbon, AW, Zisserman, A

“…To this end we have developed a joint manifold distance (JMD) which measures the distance between two subspaces, where each subspace is invariant to a desired group of transformations, for example affine warping of the image plane. The JMD may be seen as generalizing invariant distance metrics such as tangent distance in two important ways. …”

2D articulated human pose estimation and retrieval in (almost) unconstrained still images by Eichner, M, Marin-Jimenez, M, Zisserman, A, Ferrari, V

“…People are only required to be upright and seen from the front or the back (not side). <br> We evaluate the stages of our approach experimentally using ground truth layout annotation on a variety of challenging material, such as images from the PASCAL VOC 2008 challenge and video frames from TV shows and feature films. …”

Baturaja inscription: a threats to Miańga by Andhifani, Wahyu Rizky, Tedjowasono, Ninny Susanti

“…The script used is the Pallava script later than Old Malay. This inscription, if seen from its paleographic form, most likely originates from around the VII century, like the early inscriptions of the Sriwijaya Kingdom, namely: the Kedukan Bukit inscription, the Talang Tuwo inscription, the Telaga Batu inscription, the Kota Kapur inscription, the Karang Brahi inscription, the Palas Pasemah inscription, and some the short Siddhayatra inscription. …”

The role of implied volatility in volatility combining forecasts by Ho, Jen Sim, Choo, Wei Chong, Boon, Shui Hooi, Wan, Cheong Kin, Zhang, Yuruixian

“…The empirical results suggest that IV improves the predictive power of volatility combining forecasts, but the assigned weights were seen less inclined to IV. The inclusion of constant and unconstrained models performed the best. …”

Experimental and numerical studies of S960 ultra-high strength steel welded I-section columns by Su, Andi, Liang, Yating, Zhao, Ou

“…A testing programme, including initial geometric imperfection measurements and ten pin-ended column tests, was conducted. The testing programme was accompanied by a numerical modelling programme, where finite element models were firstly developed and validated against the test results, and then employed to perform parametric studies to generate further numerical data. …”

The EU and ASEAN – in search of a new regional paradigm? by Yeo, Lay Hwee

“…The European Union (EU) has been hailed as the most successful model of regional integration thus far, while the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), despite its fair share of critics and doomsayers, has been seen as a relatively successful regional organisation in the developing world. …”
