Flood risk analysis under consideration of river system dynamics and spatial temporal scales by Oliver, Julien

“…The risk-based approach, which quantifies both flooding frequencies and impacts, offers opportunities to design cost-efficient strategies to address all segments of the risk management cycle. While theoretically well established, current methods to quantify flood risks usually fail to capture adequately spatial and temporal dynamics of flood risks. …”

Functional characterisation of multiple sclerosis-­associated single nucleotide polymorphisms in the Eomesodermin region by Leach, O

“…SNPs in two such non-coding DNA segments upstream of the <em>EOMES</em> gene, encoding Eomesodermin (Eomes) have been consistently associated with MS, as well as with the two other autoimmune diseases rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). …”

Variational study of the two‐impurity spin–boson model with a common Ohmic bath : ground‐state phase transitions by Zhou, Nengji, Zhang, Yuyu, Lü, Zhiguo, Zhao, Yang

“…Moreover, the ground‐state phase transition is inferred to be of first order in the presence of strong antiferromagnetic spin–spin coupling, at variance with that in the ferromagnetic regime or in the absence of spin–spin coupling where the transition belongs to the Kosterlitz–Thouless universality class.…”

Small-signal neural models and their applications by Basu, Arindam

“…Hence, this is useful to correctly tune simple neural models for large-scale cortical simulations. Finaly, the biasing regime of a silicon ion channel is derived by comparing its small-signal model with a Hodgkin-Huxley-type model.…”

Across the conceptual divide? Chinese migration policies seen through historical and comparative lenses by van Dongen, Els

“…The first part of the article offers an empirically grounded overview of developments in Chinese migration policies in the two decades after the regime changes of 1949 and 1978. A second analytical section brings together literature on the Global North, Global South, and Asian and Chinese migrations and migration policies. …”

Effects of infilled wall opening on load resisting capacity of RC frames to mitigate progressive collapse risk by Qian, Kai, Lan, Dong-Qiu, Fu, Feng, Li, Bing

“…The two-bay and three-story RC frames were tested using a pushdown loading regime. It was found that the infill walls could increase the first peak load by 256%. …”

A length-adjustable vacuum-powered artificial muscle for wearable physiotherapy assistance in infants by Gollob, Samuel Dutra, Mendoza, Mijaíl Jaén, Koo, Bon Ho Brandon, Centeno, Esteban, Vela, Emir A., Roche, Ellen T.

“…This is crucial in applications such as infant physical therapy where the device must adapt to the growth of the patient during a 6-month treatment regime without actuator replacement. The ability to adjust the length of the VPAM on demand offers a significant advantage over traditional fixed-length actuators, making it a promising solution for soft robotics. …”

Inferring electrospray emission characteristics from molecular dynamics and simulated retarding potential analysis by Schroeder, Madeleine, Gallud, Ximo, Petro, Elaine, Jia-Richards, Oliver, Lozano, Paulo C

“…In this work, we present coordinated molecular dynamics, ion cluster acceleration, and retarding potential analysis simulations to determine cluster fragmentation behavior in a realistic emitter geometry for electrosprays operating in the pure ionic regime. Molecular dynamics simulations are used to determine the fragmentation rates of ionic liquid clusters as a function of internal energy, electric field strength, and cluster size. …”

Complexity of High-Dimensional Identity Testing with Coordinate Conditional Sampling by Blanca, Antonio, Chen, Zongchen, Stefankovic, Daniel, Vigoda, Eric

“…We also prove a computational phase transition: for a well-studied class of -dimensional distributions, specifically sparse antiferromagnetic Ising models over {+1, −1} , we show that in the regime where approximate tensorization of entropy fails, there is no efficient identity testing algorithm unless RP = NP. …”

Immersion two-phase liquid cooling of data cards by Lioewanta, Sebastian Markus

“…It is postulated that the high temperatures yielded are due to high wall superheat values and a lack of microcavities to initiate the nucleate boiling regime. The addition of a heat sink during immersion cooling vastly reduced temperature levels due to the increase in surface area in contact with the liquid. …”
