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. …”

Delocalized Davydov D1 Ansatz for the Holstein polaron by Sun, Jin, Duan, Liwei, Zhao, Yang

“…The delocalized D1 Ansatz lowers the ground-state energies at the Brillouin zone boundary significantly compared with the Toyozawa and Global-Local Ansätze in the weak coupling regime, while considerable improvement is demonstrated to have been achieved over the entire Brillouin zone in the strong coupling regime. …”

Fedratinib combined with ropeginterferon alfa-2b in patients with myelofibrosis (FEDORA): study protocol for a multicentre, open-label, Bayesian phase II trial by McIlroy, G, Gaskell, C, Jackson, A, Yafai, E, Tasker, R, Thomas, C, Fox, S, Boucher, R, Ghebretinsea, F, Harrison, C, Mead, AJ, McMullin, MF

“…FEDORA uses a within-patient dose escalation regimen to ensure each patient reaches a personalised dose combination that is acceptable. …”

May measurement month 2022: an analysis of blood pressure screening findings from Sierra Leone by Jalloh, MB, Williams, CEE, Jegede, OG, Malijan, GMB, Naveed, A, Kanu, A, Bah, AK, Jalloh, F, Jalloh, A, Faulkner, MMJ, Agboola, K, Baldeh, M, Russell, JBW, Oladapo, OO

“…Notably, 42.9% of the participants with known hypertension did not adhere to their antihypertensive medication regimen, citing cost, availability, side effects, and forgetfulness as common reasons. …”

Molecular genetics of Dupuytren’s contracture by Aissvarya, Shankar, Ling, King-Hwa, Arumugam, Manohar, Thilakavathy, Karuppiah

“…Moreover, all variants identified are in European/Caucasian subjects and the variants found in the exonic regions are missense variants. • A comparison of these findings with variants from populations of other regions can be conducted to identify the variants with the most occurrence to act as biomarkers or therapeutic targets for DC.…”

Fluid-fluid displacement in porous-media microfluidics by Qiu, Yu

“…We first develop a phase-field model to simulate two-phase flow with moving contact lines in the partial wetting regime. We construct a self-consistent formulation of fluid-solid surface energy which allows prescribing arbitrary static contact angles. …”

Modal phase-matched bound states in the continuum for enhancing third harmonic generation of deep ultraviolet emission by Abdelraouf, Omar A. M., Anthur, Aravind P., Wang, Renshaw Xiao, Wang, Qi Jie, Liu, Hong

“…However, NLOs are limited by their bulky size, inadequate transparency at the DUV regime, and stringent phase-matching requirements for harmonic generation. …”

Rethinking territorial disputes in the South China Sea : transforming problem into opportunity by Dato’ Muthiah Alagappa

“…The disputes in the East and South China Seas have not led to war so far, but they can stoke competitive nationalisms and strategic alignments with worrying consequences for regional peace and security. Yet, they present an opportunity to construct a rules-based order grounded in principles and guided by an effective management regime and dispute settlement mechanism.…”

Rescaling geoeconomics: the role of local illicit authority in global megaprojects by Idler, A, Voyvodic Casabo, C

“…The study demonstrates how geoeconomic ambitions, such as regional or global influence and energy security, depend on negotiating with local actors in contested territories. …”

Frontier rule and conflict by Malik, M, Mirza, RA, Rehman, FU

“…Colonial powers often governed the frontier regions of their colonies differently from non-frontier regions, employing a system of “frontier rule” that restricted access to formal institutions of conflict management and disproportionately empowered local elites. …”

Heterogeneities in landed costs of traded grains and oilseeds contribute to unequal access to food by Verschuur, J, Vittis, Y, Obersteiner, M, Hall, JW

“…Here we quantify the landed cost for six grain commodities across 3,500 administrative regions, capturing regional cost differences to produce grain and transport it across international borders. …”

Learning to detect partially overlapping instances by Arteta, C, Lempitsky, V, Noble, JA, Zisserman, A

“…Our approach is to propose a set of candidate regions, and then select regions based on optimizing a global classification score, subject to the constraint that the selected regions are non-overlapping. …”

Robust RGB-D SLAM in dynamic environments for autonomous vehicles by Ji, Tete, Yuan, Shenghai, Xie, Lihua

“…Specifically, for each new RGB-D image pair, we first segment the depth image into a few regions using the KMeans algorithm, and then identify the dynamic regions via their reprojection errors. …”

The neural correlates of response inhibition across the transition from infancy to toddlerhood: an fNIRS Study by Fiske, A, Collins-Jones, L, de Klerk, C, Lui, KYK, Hendry, A, Greenhalgh, I, Hall, A, Dvergsdal, H, Scerif, G, Holmboe, K

“…Whilst our previous work demonstrated that 10-month-old infants recruited right-lateralised regions of the PFC and parietal cortex when inhibition was required, the current study suggests that by 16 months, toddlers recruit the left superior parietal gyrus, the right inferior frontal gyrus, and bilateral regions of the dorsolateral PFC and orbital frontal cortex. …”

Transcriptional brain networks and their key regulators across the human lifespan by Wehrspaun, CC

“…<p>The human brain’s transcriptome undergoes substantial changes over the lifespan and shows characteristic patterns that reflect anatomical regions and cellular compositions. In this thesis, I applied combinations of network algorithms and tools from computational biology to analyse transcriptional networks and their key regulators in the human brain across space (brain regions) and time (the human life course). …”

Pushing the limits of quantifying complexity by Ho, Matthew Shu Hui
