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.…”

Rethinking the efficacy of the SEANWFZ treaty by Chew, Alvin

“…ASEAN needs to rethink the purpose of the Southeast Asia Nuclear Weapons-Free Zone as a regime for nuclear non-proliferation.…”

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

“…Then, we shift into the quantum regime to study the analogous counterpart of the classical epsilon machine, known better as the quantum epsilon machine. …”

Thermoplastic polymer nanocomposites based on polydopamine-coated clay : preparation, structures and properties by Phua, Si Lei

“…This strong interfacial interaction between D-clay and hard segments not only facilitates the stress transfer across the filler and polymer matrix, but also acts as nucleating agent for hard segment crystallization, leading to higher hard segment crystallinity. …”

Hawking radiation of extended objects by Johnson, G, March-Russell, J

“…We find that in the low-momentum regime, the power emitted is exponentially suppressed for sufficiently large radiated objects, or sufficiently small black holes, though the temperature of emission is unchanged. …”

Coherently tunable triangular trefoil phaseonium metamaterial by Soci, Cesare, Nguyen, Duc Minh, Ooi, Raymond C. H.

“…We find that, in the metallic regime, the phaseonium metamaterial structure supports extremely large transmission, with optical amplification at large enough intensity of the microwave thanks to strong surface plasmon coupling; while, in the dielectric regime without microwave excitation, the transmission bandwidth can be tuned by varying the control beam intensity. …”

Dynamics of localized waves in one-dimensional random potentials : statistical theory of the coherent forward scattering peak by Lee, Kean Loon, Miniatura, Christian, Grémaud, Benoît

“…Going beyond the perturbative regime, we address here the long-time dynamics of the CFS peak in a one-dimensional random system and we relate this novel interference effect to the statistical properties of the eigenfunctions and eigenspectrum of the corresponding random Hamiltonian. …”

High-intensity two-frequency photoassociation spectroscopy of a weakly bound molecular state : theory and experiment by Kon, W. Y., Aman, J. A., Hill, J. C., Killian, T. C., Hazzard, Kaden R. A.

“…We investigate two-frequency photoassociation of a weakly bound molecular state, focusing on a regime where the AC Stark shift is comparable to the halo-state energy. …”

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. …”

Classification of fixed points of Potts-Bethe mapping of degree four on Q5 by Ahmad, Mohd. Ali Khameini, Murat Alp, Murat Alp, Mohd. Azahari, Mohammad Azim, Embong, Ahmad Fadillah

“…In this paper, the Potts–Bethe mapping of degree four is con-sidered over the field Q5 of 5-adic numbers. In some regimes (a condition appear in the study of p-adic Potts model), the fixed points are found and their stability are determined. …”

Direct and indirect effects of fire on microbial communities in a pyrodiverse dry-sclerophyll forest by Bowd, Elle J., Egidi, Eleonora, Lindenmayer, David B., Wardle, David A., Kardol, Paul, Cary, Geoffrey J., Foster, Claire

“…In recent years, novel fire regimes have posed a major challenge to the management of pyrodiverse forests. …”

Biomechanical evaluation of peripheral nerves after crush injuries by Wong, Yoke-Rung, Pang, Xin, Lim, Zeus Yiwei, Du, Hejun, Tay, Shian-Chao, McGrouther, Duncan Angus

“…The original diameters of proximal, middle and distal end of nerve segment were measured. The midst of each digital nerve was compressed by a customized mechanical system, at 1N, 3N and 5N for 30sec. …”

Distinct Circle of Willis anatomical configurations in healthy preterm born adults: a 3D time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography study by Greggio, J, Malamateniou, C, Baruteau, KP, Reyes-Aldasoro, CC, Huckstep, OJ, Francis, JM, Williamson, W, Leeson, P, Lewandowski, AJ, Lapidaire, W

“…In contrast, preterm females showed higher odds of a group 4a variant (circles with one or more accessory segments, without any absent segments) in comparison to their full-term counterparts (p = 0.020). …”

1-in-3 vs. not-all-equal: dichotomy of a broken promise by Ciardo, L, Kozik, M, Krokhin, A, Nakajima, T-V, Živný, S

“…In the present work, we investigate this constraint satisfaction problem in a regime where the promise is weakened from either side by a rainbow-free structure, and establish a complexity dichotomy for the resulting class of computational problems.…”

Effects of resonant tunneling on intrinsic linewidth of quantum cascade lasers by Liu, T., Wang, Q. J.

“…The quantum Langevin analysis for QCLs show that coupling strength and dephasing rate strongly affect the linewidth of THz QCLs in incoherent resonant-tunneling transport regime, but induce insignificant influence for mid-infrared QCLs due to strong coupling.…”

Libya and the UN : whose responsibility to protect? by Iftekhar Ahmed Chowdhury, Yang Razali Kassim

“…As the blood-letting in Libya continues, and the hapless protesters battle a repressive regime that has shown no qualms to slaughter its own people, the eyes of the world are focused on the United Nations. …”
