Semiparametric regression analysis of clustered survival data with semi-competing risks by Peng, Mengjiao, Xiang, Liming, Wang, Shanshan

“…Analysis of semi-competing risks data is becoming increasingly important in medical research in which a subject may experience both nonterminal and terminal events, and the time to the intermediate nonterminal event (e.g. onset of a disease) is subject to dependent censoring by the terminal event (e.g. death) but not vice versa. Typically, both two types of events are dependent. …”

On semidefinite programming relaxations of the traveling salesman problem by De Klerk, Etienne., Pasechnik, Dmitrii V., Sotirov, Renata.

“…Unlike the bound of Cvetković et al., the new SDP bound is not dominated by the Held–Karp linear programming bound, or vice versa.…”

Mobile content contribution and retrieval : an exploratory study using the uses and gratifications paradigm by Chua, Alton Yeow Kuan, Goh, Dion Hoe-Lian, Lee, Chei Sian

“…Interestingly, gratification factors for mobile content contribution were also found to have significant effects on mobile content retrieval intention and vice versa. Specifically, the access gratification factor had a significant positive effect on content retrieval intention while the self-gratification factor for content contribution had a significant negative effect on content retrieval intention.…”

Acceleration by Stepsize Hedging: Multi-Step Descent and the Silver Stepsize Schedule by Altschuler, Jason, Parrilo, Pablo

“…The core algorithmic intuition is hedging between individually suboptimal strategiesÐshort steps and long stepsÐsince bad cases for the former are good cases for the latter, and vice versa. Properly combining these stepsizes yields faster convergence due to the misalignment of worst-case functions. …”

Highly stretchable, compliant, polymeric microelectrode arrays for in vivo electrophysiological interfacing by Qi, Dianpeng, Liu, Zhiyuan, Liu, Yan, Jiang, Ying, Leow, Wan Ru, Pal, Mayank, Pan, Shaowu, Yang, Hui, Wang, Yu, Zhang, Xiaoqian, Yu, Jiancan, Li, Bin, Yu, Zhe, Wang, Wei, Chen, Xiaodong

“…Polymeric microelectrode arrays (MEAs) are emerging as a new generation of biointegrated microelectrodes to transduce original electrochemical signals in living tissues to external electrical circuits, and vice versa. So far, the challenge of stretchable polymeric MEAs lies in the competition between high stretchability and good electrode-substrate adhesion. …”

Modelling the dynamics of microbubble undergoing stable and inertial cavitation: delineating the effects of ultrasound and microbubble parameters on sonothrombolysis by Tan, Zhi Qi, Ooi, Ean Hin, Chiew, Yeong Shiong, Foo, Ji Jinn, Ng, Yin Kwee, Ooi, Ean Tat

“…An increase in jet velocity is always accompanied by a decrease in the translational distance and vice versa. Therefore, a right balance between the jet velocity and the translational distance is critical to maximise the shear stress on the clot surface. …”

“Encouraged to be your true self”: an interpretative phenomenological study of medical students’ experiences of role models in shaping sexual minority identity at medical school... by Zacharias, A, Aitken, D

“…From these results, we built upon existing social cognitive paradigms to develop a ‘doublefunnel’ model to represent how social contexts can map onto individual SM identities and vice versa, mediated by role models. The triangulation of these three aspects in relation to medical education presents novel understandings to the field. …”

Organic donor-acceptor cocrystals for multiferroic applications by Wang, Zongrui, Zhang, Qichun

“…The cocrystallization strategy has provided an efficient route to fulfill room temperature magnetoelectricity in single phase owing to the long-range ordered π-π stacking (donor-acceptor assembled) network, long-lived excitons (with μs lifetime), spin orders (±1/2 s pin) and charge transfer (CT) dipoles in the assembled crystal lattice. …”

“…As the strain rate increases, the dislocations outpace the diffusion speed of the solute atoms, limiting their ability to effectively pin the dislocations, resulting in lower dislocation density and serration amplitude. …”
