Mass transfer studies in shallow bubble column reactors by Lau, Raymond, Lee, Pei Hui Venus, Chen, Tao

“…It is also found that the different dependence of the liquid-side mass transfer coefficient on the superficial gas velocity observed in the literatures is due to the different bubble rising regimes.…”

Exponential tail local Rademacher complexity risk bounds without the Bernstein condition by Kanade, V, Rebeschini, P, Vaškevičius, T

“…Our results apply to improper prediction regimes not directly covered by the classical theory, such as optimal model selection aggregation for arbitrary classes (including infinite and non-convex classes), and early-stopping/iterative regularization; the Bernstein condition does not hold in both examples.…”

Relational persistent homology for multispecies data with application to the tumor microenvironment by Stolz, BJ, Dhesi, J, Bull, JA, Harrington, HA, Byrne, HM, Yoon, IHR

“…We demonstrate that relational topological features can extract biological insight, including the dominant immune cell phenotype (an important predictor of patient prognosis) and the parameter regimes of a data-generating model. The methods provide a quantitative perspective on the relational analysis of multispecies spatial data, overcome the limits of traditional PH, and are readily computable.…”

Breast cancer patient-derived whole-tumor cell culture model for efficient drug profiling and treatment response prediction by Chen, Xinsong, Sifakis, Emmanouil G., Robertson, Stephanie, Neo, Shi Yong, Jun, Seong-Hwan, Tong, Le, Tay, Apple Hui Min, Lövrot, John, Hellgren, Roxanna, Margolin, Sara, Bergh, Jonas, Foukakis, Theodoros, Lagergren, Jens, Lundqvist, Andreas, Ma, Ran, Hartman, Johan

“…The accuracy was further supported by the correlation between WTC-based test results and patients' clinical responses in a separate validation study, where the neoadjuvant treatment regimens of 15 BC patients were mimicked. Collectively, the WTC model allows us to accomplish personalized drug testing within 10 d, even for small-sized tumors, highlighting its potential for individualized BC therapy. …”

Deadweight costs and optimal capital structure. by Liang, Huijun., Lim, Wei Ling.

“…Banerjee and Noe (2010) shows that MNCs do not necessarily obtain all of their financing in locations that feature the most creditor friendly legal regime. In this paper, our model is consistent with those empirical findings. …”

Drag of generic round-shaped bodies in supersonic flow by Song, Dennis Shao Hui.

“…The various drag components were analysed over a supersonic regime between the Mach numbers 1.5 to 4 at sea level while the effects of geometry variations were investigated. …”

Glass transition behaviour In a voronoi model of cell tissues by Loh, Leon Yeong Wei

“…This allows one to study the static and dynamical statistical properties in the temperature regime where mode-coupling theory is dominant. Both the dynamic and hexatic correlation lengths are found to have a negative relation with temperature. …”

Beam studies using a Cherenkov diffraction based beam position monitor for AWAKE by Spear, B, Burrows, PN, Pakuza, C, Senes, E, Mazzoni, S, Lefevre, T, Wendt, M

“…Furthermore, high frequency studies investigating the proton bunch spectrum show that a much higher frequency regime is needed to exclude the proton signal than previously expected.…”

Working for two bosses: Student interns as constrained labour in China by Smith, C, Chan, J

“…Thus, within such an unfree labour regime, student workers are subject to dual control in the workplace from managerial and teacher-supervisors.…”

Marital instability in the context of dramatic societal change : the case of Kyrgyzstan by Dommaraju, Premchand, Agadjanian, Victor

“…Using detailed and rich data from Kyrgyzstan, the study investigates trends over time in marital instability in response to societal upheavals and gradual secular transformations; ethnic group-specific responses in marital instability; and the role of changing gender regimes in marital instability. The findings reveal an increase in the rate of marital dissolution over time. …”

Urban site characterization using DAS dark fibers on the MIT campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts by Chang, Hilary, Nakata, Nori

“…The 1D site-response modeling for shear waves suggests that the fundamental resonance frequency is at 0.6 and 1 Hz, with a sediment-to-bedrock amplitude ratio of 6–7. This should be considered in building design to mitigate seismic hazards. …”

Data analysis of local scour around abutment in compound channel by Zhang, Ruixin

“…This model was built using the relative abutment length (L/yf), abutment aspect ratio (Lc/L), flow intensity (uf/uc), abutment shape factor (Ks), flow depth ratio (yf/ym), and relative sediment size (d50/ yf). Overall, comparisons of calculated and observed maximum equilibrium scour depths indicate that the formula is straightforward in composition and shows good credibility in the computation result.…”

Metasomatism of the continental crust and its impact on surface uplift: insights from reactive‐transport modelling by Worthington, JR, Chin, EJ, Palin, RM

“…High-elevation, low-relief continental plateaus are major topographic features and profoundly influence atmospheric circulation, sediment transport and storage, and biodiversity. Although orogenic surface-uplift mechanisms for modern continental plateaus near known plate margins like Tibet are well-characterized, they cannot account for examples in intracontinental settings like the Colorado Plateau. …”

Geochemical and Sr–Nd–Hf isotopic evidence for Cenozoic partial melting of mantle beneath Natanz, Central Iran by Babazadeh, S, D'Antonio, M, Raeisi, D, Furman, T, Santosh, M, Di Renzo, V, Klötzli, U, Choi, SH, Ghalamghash, J, Cottle, JM, Palin, R

“…Combined modelling of trace element and isotopic data suggests that the most mafic Natanz magmas could have formed through ∼5% melting of a source comprising 99% depleted mantle +1% sediment, with the melts modified subsequently by ∼3% contamination by Cadomian upper crustal components. …”
