Numerical methods for finite-size key rates with different entropic bounds in quantum key distribution by Chung, Rebecca Ru Byn

“…We then showed that the Renyi entropy indeed gives a tighter bound on the low-signal regime (N~10^5), and outperforms the bound using the von Neumann entropy in regimes of long channel distances and low signal number, thus paving the way for a better understanding of long-distance satellite-based QKD protocols in the presence of finite resources.…”

Isentropic diagnostics of mean circulation and water vapour budget for the Asian monsoon by Lee, Shao Yi

“…These comparisons may not reflect the actual dynamical regimes that local “Hadleys” lie in, because the global zonal mean meridional circulation is not representative of the meridional circulation in the monsoon and oceanic regions. …”

Characterization of structural and optical properties of Zinc Oxide thin films by Liu, Yuchan

“…The objective of this thesis is to determine the optical properties of ZnO thin films with spectroscopic ellipsometry in a wide spectral region covering the both regimes of below and above the ZnO bandgap. Three dispersion models, namely, Sellmeier dispersion model, Cauchy model and Forouhi-Bloomer model, were used and evaluated to determine the optical constants of ZnO thin films below the energy band gap. …”

Investigating whether executive functioning, working memory capacity, & long-term memory can be improved by cognitive training by Lim, Ming Ze

“…Paired-sample t-tests indicated that two training regimes (i.e., daily meditation training and practicing retrieval) led to changes that improve participants’ ability to store and retrieve episodic information formed while reading text passages. …”

Accuracy of second order perturbation theory in the polaron and variational polaron frames by Lee, Chee Kong, Moix, Jeremy, Cao, Jianshu

“…In the study of open quantum systems, the polaron transformation has recently attracted a renewed interest as it offers the possibility to explore the strong system-bath coupling regime. Despite this interest, a clear and unambiguous analysis of the regimes of validity of the polaron transformation is still lacking. …”

The effect of salt on oligocation-induced chromatin condensation by Korolev, Nikolay, Zhao, Yongqian, Allahverdi, Abdollah, Eom, Khee Dong, Nordenskiöld, Lars, Tam, James P.

“…In the salt-dependent regime EC50 rises sharply with increase of CKCl. Increase of ligand charge shifts the transition from the salt-independent to salt-dependent regime to higher salt. …”

Network analysis and data science for finance: from traditional markets to decentralised exchanges by Miori, D

“…Otherwise, we study returns of an heterogeneous set of indices belonging to multiple asset classes, and characterise their network of evolving correlations to identify market regimes that are found to have distinguishable macroeconomic features. …”

Conservation planning in Europe: ecological, financial, and political challenges by Hannemann, H

“…Probably unsurprisingly, the distribution of biodiversity in Europe mostly does not match political entities, all of which have individual aims, financial resources, and biodiversity management regimes in place. All have a significant impact on biodiversity conservation planning because i) the use of geo-politically truncated data influences modelling predictions, ii) financial commitment to biodiversity conservation varies between countries influencing success outcomes, iii) biodiversity persistence in current and future climate change does not recognise geo-political boundaries, and iv) many of the key environmental frameworks are implemented within countries and do not considering trans-boundary issues.…”

Ammonia volatilization from urea as affected by tropical‐based palm oil mill effluent (Pome) and peat by Siva, K. B., Aminuddin, H., Husni, M. H. A., Manas, A. R.

“…The organic materials were separately matrixed with urea into pelletized form and evaluated under laboratory regimes for the per cent NH3 volatilization, pH change, and ammonium-nitrogen (NH4-N) recovery. …”

The dietetic practice of prescribing amino acid-based formulas in paediatrics patients without cow’s milk allergy: a single centre retrospective study by O’Connor, Graeme, Mansell, Melissa

“…Data were collected on demographics, anthropometrics, feed regimens, gastrointestinal symptoms, proton pump inhibitor use and serum phosphate concentration Results: 203 children were prescribed an AAF during the data collection period, of these, 154 of 203 (76%) patients had no allergies. …”

Mechanism of traffic jams at speed bottlenecks by Quek, Wei Liang, Chew, Lock Yue

“…In this paper, the interactions between traffic flow and road topology will be studied, particularly the relationship between a sharp bend in a road segment and traffic jams. As suggested by Sugiyama[1], when car density exceeds a critical density, the fluctuations in the speed of each car will lead to greater fluctuations in speed of the cars behind it. …”

Characterization of single amino acid substitutions in the β2 integrin subunit of patients with leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD)-1 by Guan, Siyu, Tan, Suet-Mien, Li, Yan, Torres, Jaume, Uzel, Gulbu, Xiang, Liming, Law, S.K. Alex

“…Integrins with the β2-G150D mutation fail to bind ligands, possibly due to the failure of the α1 segment of the βI domain to assume an α-helical structure. …”
