Ab initio simulation of electronic and mechanical properties of aluminium for fatigue early feature investigation by Zhang, Shuai, Tan, Cher Ming, Cheng, Shuguang, Deng, Tianqi, He, Feifei, Su, Haibin

“…It has been shown that Young's modulus decreases with fatigue cycles and when a low threshold is reached, cracks will be initiated. We find that the Young's modulus of Al (111) is the largest, indicating its robustness against fatigue as compare to other orientations.…”

Overcoming endurance issue : UAV-enabled communications with proactive caching by Xu, Xiaoli, Zeng, Yong, Guan, Yong Liang, Zhang, Rui

“…As the formulated problem is NP-hard in general, we propose efficient algorithms to find high-quality approximate solutions for it. Numerical results are provided to corroborate our study and show the great potential of proactive caching for overcoming the endurance issue in UAV-enabled communications.…”

Coherently tunable triangular trefoil phaseonium metamaterial by Soci, Cesare, Nguyen, Duc Minh, Ooi, Raymond C. H.

“…For specific values of the probing frequencies and control fields, the phaseonium can display either metallic or dielectric optical response. We find that, in the metallic regime, the phaseonium metamaterial structure supports extremely large transmission, with optical amplification at large enough intensity of the microwave thanks to strong surface plasmon coupling; while, in the dielectric regime without microwave excitation, the transmission bandwidth can be tuned by varying the control beam intensity. …”

MIGHTEE: the continuum survey Data Release 1 by Hale, CL, Heywood, I, Jarvis, MJ, Whittam, IH, Best, PN, An, F, Bowler, RAA, Harrison, I, Matthews, A, Smith, DJB, Taylor, AR, Vaccari, M

“…We find a typical sample variance of 10-20percnt for 0.3 and 0.5 sq. deg. sub-regions at S1.4 ≤ 200 μJy, which increases at brighter flux densities, given the lower source density and expected higher galaxy bias for these sources.…”

Response of invertebrate communities to intensive management of improved pasture ecosystems by Manning, P

“…As the global human population continues to expand, it is important that we find sustainable ways to produce food while simultaneously conserving biodiversity. …”

Mathematical models of liquid crystals and related materials by Taylor, J

“…Unlike Onsager’s free energy density, the non-trivial solutions to the new model all have non-trivial support, im- plying two-sided variations cannot find solutions. In order to overcome this issue, we apply similar heuristics to the previous chapter to split the minimisation into two steps, a strictly convex minimisation problem with linear constraints and a finite dimensional, <em>C</em>¹ minimisation problem, the latter of which provides an Euler-Lagrange-type equation satisfied by all <em>L</em>^p -local minimisers. …”

Interventions for smoking cessation in hospitalised patients: a systematic review by Munafò, M, Rigotti, N, Lancaster, T, Stead, L, Murphy, M

“…Individuals may be more open to help at a time of perceived vulnerability, and may find it easier to quit in an environment where smoking is restricted or prohibited. …”

Using feminist methodologies to explore female genital mutilation/cutting and child marriage in low- and middle-income contexts by Jones, N, Pincock, K, Alheiwidi, S

“…A vignette-based discussion on FGM/C and child marriage and a version of a Social Network Hexagon tool were used to improve understanding of adolescents' social networks and the extent to which these shape their options for change. We find that context-specific adaptations to the tools, determined through ongoing reflexive dialogue with local researchers, were key to creating space for deep reflection and engagement by girls. …”

Assessing the odd secondary structural properties of nuclear small subunit ribosomal RNA sequences (18S) of the twisted-wing parasites (Insecta: Strepsiptera) by Gillespie, J, McKenna, C, Yoder, M, Gutell, R, Johnston, J, Kathirithamby, J, Cognato, A

“…Our findings lend insight to the evolution of RNA structure and function and the impact large insertions pose on genome size. …”

Airway proteomics reveals broad residual anti-inflammatory effects of prednisolone in mepolizumab-treated asthma by Howell, I, Yang, F, Brown, V, Cane, J, Marchi, E, Azim, A, Busby, J, McDowell, PJ, Diver, SE, Borg, C, Heaney, LG, Pavord, ID, Brightling, CE, Chaudhuri, R, Hinks, TSC

Pathway and network analysis of more than 2500 whole cancer genomes by Reyna, MA, Haan, D, Paczkowska, M, Verbeke, LPC, Vazquez, M, Kahraman, A, Pulido-Tamayo, S, Barenboim, J, Wadi, L, Dhingra, P, Shrestha, R, Getz, G, Lawrence, MS, Pedersen, JS, Rubin, MA, Wheeler, DA, Brunak, S, Izarzugaza, JMG, Khurana, E, Marchal, K, von Mering, C, Sahinalp, SC, Valencia, A, PCAWG Drivers and Functional Interpretation Working Group, Reimand, J, Stuart, JM, Raphael, BJ, PCAWG Consortium

“…Among these are promoter mutations associated with reduced mRNA expression in TP53, TLE4, and TCF4. We find that biological processes had variable proportions of coding and non-coding mutations, with chromatin remodeling and proliferation pathways altered primarily by coding mutations, while developmental pathways, including Wnt and Notch, altered by both coding and non-coding mutations. …”

The anatomy of Westlothiana lizziae and a novel phylogenetic analysis of early amniotes by Igielman, B

“…Mine is the first analysis to include substantial, and near equal, representation of taxa typically considered both stem and crown amniotes. I find <em>Westlothiana</em> as the earliest diverging member of a monophyletic Lepospondyli, therefore occupying an important position at the divergence of amniotes and their closest relatives (diadectomorphs, captorhinids, protorothyrids) from other groups. …”

Quantitative optical probing of plasma accelerators by Kasim, MF

“…It is demonstrated that by running it and letting it learn laser-driven plasma wakefield parameters for a number of days, the software can find optimal parameters in a laser-plasma system without explicitly being taught.…”

Quantum computing and quantum neural networks: their foundation, optimisation, and application by Pointing, J

A Dirichlet-multinomial mixed model for determining differential abundance of mutational signatures by Morrill Gavarró, L, Couturier, D, Markowetz, F

“…We apply our approach to characterise differences of mutational processes between clonal and subclonal mutations across 23 cancer types of the PCAWG cohort. We find ubiquitous differential abundance of clonal and subclonal signatures across cancer types, and higher dispersion of signatures in the subclonal group, indicating higher variability between patients at subclonal level, possibly due to the presence of different clones with distinct active mutational processes. …”
