Political consciousness political discourse and internet usage. by Lim, Nona Yean Hong., Tan, Christine Seok Hong.

“…As such, this study postulates the following: that the amount of time spent on the internet will have no impact on political discourse; that an increase in the level of political consciousness may not correlate with an increase in the amount of time spent on the internet; that those who have high levels of political consciousness will have high level of political discourse; that the higher the level of political consciousness, the more likely the user is to use the internet for expressing opinions on national issues; and that those who use the internet for expression of opinions on national issues are likely to be more actively engaged in political discourse. …”

The formation and evolution of Earth’s inner core by Wilson, AJ, Davies, CJ, Walker, A, Pozzo, M, Alfé, D, Deuss, A

“…Mineral physics calculations suggest that a supercooling of at least 450 K is needed to nucleate the inner core, while inferences from geophysical observations constrain the maximum available supercooling to 420 K, and more likely <100 K when satisfying constraints on long-term core-mantle evolution. …”

Hackathons as Participatory Design: Iterating Feminist Utopias by Hope, Alexis, D'Ignazio, Catherine, Hoy, Josephine, Michelson, Rebecca, Roberts, Jennifer, Krontiris, Kate, Zuckerman, Ethan

“…Key to our re-imagining of conventional innovation structures is a focus on experience design, where joy and play serve as key strategies to help people and institutions build relationships across lines of difference. We conclude with a discussion of design principles applicable not only to designers of events, but to social movement researchers and HCI scholars trying to address oppression through the design of technologies and socio-technical systems.…”

Aneuploid senescent cells activate NF-κB to promote their immune clearance by NK cells by Wang, Ruoxi W., Viganò, Sonia, Ben-David, Uri, Amon, Angelika, Santaguida, Stefano

“…Inactivating NF‐κB abolishes NK cell‐mediated clearance of untransformed aneuploid cells. In cancer cell lines, NF‐κB upregulation also correlates with the degree of aneuploidy. …”

How information about historic carbon emissions affects support for climate aid: evidence from a survey experiment by Charnysh, Volha, Kalow, Jared, Lieberman, Evan, Walk, Erin

“…However, in democratic countries such as the United States, it remains uncertain whether such messages can affect public opinion, especially across partisan lines. We conducted a pre-registered survey from a national online pool (N = 5,002) with a built-in experiment to evaluate the effectiveness of alternative communications strategies associated with historic carbon emissions in increasing support for climate aid. …”

Fullwave modeling of coplanar-waveguide discontinuities for applications in filter design and metamaterial characterization by Gao, Jing

“…Coplanar waveguide (CPW) has been finding wide applications in microwave integrated circuit (MIC) and monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) due to several advantages it offers over microstrip lines. Typical discontinuities characteristics are an integral part of practical circuit design. …”

New techniques for automated architectural reconstruction from photographs by Werner, T, Zisserman, A

“…Second, we develop and refine a technique for piecewise planar model fitting involving sweeping polygonal primitives, and assess the performance of this technique. Third, lines at infinity are constructed from image correspondences and used to sweep planes in the principal directions. …”

Integrative taxonomy clarifies the evolution of a cryptic primate clade by van Elst, T, Sgarlata, GM, Schüßler, D, Tiley, GP, Poelstra, JW, Scheumann, M, Blanco, MB, Aleixo-Pais, IG, Rina Evasoa, M, Ganzhorn, JU, Goodman, SM, Hasiniaina, AF, Hending, D, Hohenlohe, PA, Ibouroi, MT, Iribar, A, Jan, F, Kappeler, PM, Le Pors, B, Manzi, S, Olivieri, G, Rakotonanahary, AN, Rakotondranary, SJ, Rakotondravony, R

“…Here we illustrate best practices for clarifying cryptic diversification processes by presenting an integrative framework that leverages multiple lines of evidence and taxon-informed cut-offs for species delimitation, while placing special emphasis on identifying patterns of isolation by distance. …”

Antitumor polycyclic acridines. 7. Synthesis and biological properties of DNA affinic tetra- and pentacyclic acridines by Stanslas, Johnson, Hagan, Damien J., Ellis, Michael J., Turner, Claire, Carmichael, James, Ward, Wynne, Hammonds, Timothy R., Stevens, Malcolm F. G.

“…The novel water-soluble agent dihydroindolizino[7,6,5-kl]acridinium chloride 14 has inhibitory activity in a panel of non-small-cell lung and breast tumor cell lines exceeding that of m-AMSA. The salt inhibited the release of minicircle products of kDNA confirming that disorganization of topoisomerase II partly underlies the activity of the compound. …”
