From phosphate to refugees: the offshore refugee boom in the Republic of Nauru by Morris, J

“…By contrast, I argue that not only do Nauru’s refugee operations operate to the peak of industrial best practice, but that Nauru’s offshore refugees actually enhance the moral and financial economies of industry trading and manufacturing operations in other regions. I find that the key motivation for promoting this assumption is the biophysical properties of a mortal and highly moralised commodity.…”

Sensorimotor control of Drosophila copulation by Herbert, MR

“…Altogether, the data presented herein represents the characterisation of a relatively simple circuit for the control of body posture that shows some remarkable capabilities to receive input from other regions of the body and ultimately feed into centres for higher order processing in the brain.…”

A sociological analysis of Iranian popular music in the 21st century by Safideh, Mohammad Rezazadeh

“…In Iran, the commonly accepted definition of music industry is interpreted differently from many developed regions in the world, since some distributors ignore the law of protecting the creation of artistic works easily, duplicate and sell the products illegally in high quantities, though the main production and distribution of popular music is under the government’s management and control.…”

Conformational landscape of the epidermal growth factor receptor kinase reveals a mutant specific allosteric pocket by Kannan, Srinivasaraghavan, Venkatachalam, Gireedhar, Lim, Hong Hwa, Surana, Uttam, Verma, Chandra

“…The screening of the human structural kinome revealed at least 12 other oncogenic kinases which carry at least one activating mutant in this disorder-prone region and hence would be amenable to allosteric inhibition by molecules such as EAI045. …”

Characteristics and injury patterns of road traffic injuries in urban and rural Uganda—a retrospective medical record review study in two hospitals by Temizel, Selin, Wunderlich, Robert, Leifels, Mats

“…Motorcycle users (49.6%) and pedestrians (33.7%) were identified as the most vulnerable groups in both urban and rural setting while mild injuries of extremities (61.6%) and the head/neck-region (42.0%) were registered most. The frequency of road traffic injuries was homogenous in the urban and rural hospitals investigated in this study; interventions should therefore be intensified ubiquitously. …”

Electrochromic smart window for modulation of infrared heat by Loke, Jie Yi

“…It was found that more than half of the heat that enters a building through its windows come from the solar radiation in the near infrared (NIR) region. As a result, in an attempt to lower energy consumption of houses and buildings, smart window technology has been introduced. …”

Linking short-term to long-term convergent tectonics using geodetic observations, geological constraints and numerical simulations by Mallick, Rishav

“…To understand how faults accumulate elastic strain in the period of time in between earthquakes, I used a newly installed network of GNSS stations from the eastern edge of the India-Eurasia convergent boundary and quantified the slip rates of major faults in the region. However, faults do not only accumulate strain steadily in time. …”

3D patient specific instrumentation for high tibial osteotomy by Wong, Gina Khay Fong

“…After a vast number of experiments with 3D Slicer, “Grow from Seeds” is proven to be more time efficient and accurate along with the “Logical Operators”, especially for a thin and uneven layer like the cortical region. With SolidWorks used preoperatively to simulate the HTO cuts and alignment, there are still limitations present. …”
