Theoretical study on forced convection filmwise condensation inside converging channels in the presence of a non-condensable gas by Liu, Pengfei, Ho, Jin Yao, Kandasamy, Ranjith, Wong, Teck Neng

“…When the air mass fraction is high (W=0.4), the enhancement ratio appears to be insensitive to the Reynolds number in the laminar and turbulent regime, respectively. In addition, the enhancement ratio generally increases as the air mass fraction increases.…”

Next generation design of floating systems for coastal solar farms by Bi, Cheng

“…In the single-barrier-platform system, the barrier is installed in front of the platform, and significant reduction in platform displacement can be achieved when the barrier is in the membrane-like hydroelastic regime with relatively high rigidity and has a penetration more than 40% of water depth. …”

The role of SPRTN protease in colorectal cancer chemotherapy by Peron, C

“…The first-line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is frequently based on combination chemotherapeutic regimens, where 5-fluorouracil is either associated with irinotecan (FOLFIRI) or oxaliplatin (FOLFOX). …”

Free-electron crystals for enhanced X-ray radiation by Wong, Wesley Lee Wei, Shi, Xihang, Karnieli, Aviv, Lim, Jeremy, Kumar, Suraj, Carbajo, Sergio, Kaminer, Ido, Wong, Liang Jie

Shedding Light on Chemoresistance: The Perspective of Photodynamic Therapy in Cancer Management by Viana Cabral, Fernanda, Quilez Alburquerque, Jose, Roberts, Harrison James, Hasan, Tayyaba

“…Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as a promising photochemistry-based approach to address chemoresistance in cancer regimens. PDT not only induces cell death but also primes surviving cells, enhancing their susceptibility to subsequent therapies. …”

Disposition kinetics of tylosin administered intravenously and intramuscularly in Desert Sheep and Nubian Goats by Taha, A.A., Elsheikh, H.A., Khalafalla, A.E., Osman, I. A. M., Abdullah, A. Salam

“…The present study has shown that, despite the significant differences in some of the drug pharmacokinetic parameters between sheep and goats for the i.v. route, identical intravenous and intramuscular dosage regimens of tylosin may be recommended for the two species.…”

Deep neural networks have an inbuilt Occam’s razor by Mingard, C, Rees, H, Valle-Pérez, G, Louis, AA

“…The prior over functions is determined by the network architecture, which we vary by exploiting a transition between ordered and chaotic regimes. For Boolean function classification, we approximate the likelihood using the error spectrum of functions on data. …”

Profiting from prestige: the political economy of mega-events in Azerbaijan by Laporte, J

“…By problematising the direction of causality between mega-events and rentseeking behaviour, this analysis expands current theories on states’ motivations for hosting these events and contributes to existing understandings about how these proceedings serve to support and sustain rentier regimes.…”

Conflict abroad and political trust at home evidence from a natural experiment by Klymak, M, Vlandas, T

“…Further analyses using other surveys and previous conflicts suggest this effect depends on proximity to the conflict and the political regimes of the attacked country. These findings contribute to our understanding of the complex and indirect effects of conflicts on domestic political trust.…”

MCMC inversion of the transient and steady-state creep flow law parameters of dunite under dry and wet conditions by Masuti, Sagar, Barbot, Sylvain

“…For wet dunites in the grain-boundary sliding regime, the grain-size dependence is similar for transient creep and steady-state creep. …”

Predictability of exchange rates with taylor rule fundamentals : evidence from inflation-targeting emerging countries by Alba, Joseph Dennis, Park, Donghyun, Xie, Taojun

“…We investigate the out-of-sample predictability of U.S. dollar exchange rates with Taylor rule fundamentals in thirteen emerging countries with inflation-targeting monetary policy regimes. We find some evidence of out-of-sample exchange rate predictability for Brazil, Czech Republic, Hungary, Philippines, Thailand, and South Africa. …”

Development of a mooring line model for coupled floating structure dynamic analysis by Bai, Ziyi

“…The model should possess the features of adding point buoys, clump weights, different anchor fairlead concepts and multiple line segments to a single mooring line. The model is proposed by National Renewable Energy Laboratory, U.S. as multi-segmented quasi-static modelling. …”

High cycle fatigue characterisation and modelling of 316L stainless steel processed by laser powder bed fusion by Zhang, Meng

“…In the presence of tensile mean stress, variations in the plastic deformation properties, as demonstrated by the effects of build orientation and post-processing treatments (annealing or hot isostatic pressing), were found to induce cyclic plasticity, which led to strong fatigue-ratcheting interactions in the high cycle fatigue regime. The simultaneous actions of ratcheting and fatigue generate complex nonlinear relationships between the stress amplitude and mean stress parameters, such that the fatigue properties could not be effectively predicted using traditional stress-based models. …”

Institutions and agricultural transformation: a study of induced innovation in the Philippine rice sector by Montesclaros, Jose Ma. Luis P.

“…Research findings supported the hypotheses that agricultural transformation was impeded by the three factors: 1) an industrialisation-inspired de-facto currency overvaluation regime removed farmers’ potential to capture export markets, the latter serving as a “carrot” for adopting innovation; 2) trade protectionist policies in the rice sector removed import competition as a “stick” for adopting innovation; and 3) industrialisation- and land reform-related capital scarcity among smallholder farmers hindered the dynamics of IIA from taking place. …”

In Vivo RNA Delivery to Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells via Targeted Lipid Nanoparticles by Shi, Dennis, Toyonaga, Sho, Anderson, Daniel G

“…However, these therapies have several limitations owing to the manufacturing complexities and toxicity resulting from required conditioning regimens. Here, we developed a c-kit (CD117) antibody-targeted lipid nanoparticle (LNP) that, following a single intravenous injection, can deliver RNA (both siRNA and mRNA) to HSCs in vivo in rodents. …”
