Entangled exclusions: borders, frontiers and urban geopolitics from northeast India by Das, P, Mittal, G, Sarma, J

“…An epicentre of ethnicity-based identity politics and exclusions, India's northeastern region has long been politically imagined as both a ‘frontier’ and ‘borderland’ for state control, territorialization, extractive economies and (re)developments by colonial and subsequent post-colonial regimes. In post-independence India, the region experienced many territorial assertions made on ethnic grounds. …”

Cavity-length optimization for high energy pulse generation in a long cavity passively mode-locked all-fiber ring laser by Shum, Perry Ping, Wu, Kan, Wong, Jia Haur, Aditya, Sheel, Li, Nanxi, Xue, Jin, Ouyang, Chunmei

“…However, a long cavity operating in the anomalous dispersion regime also leads to pulse broadening, which reduces the average pulse power. …”

Natural resources and income inequality in Africa. by Charasz, Pawel.

“…However, the overall effect is dependent upon the political regime and level of population heterogeneity. Whereas natural resources themselves were on average contributing positively to income inequality, greater degree of democracy reduces this effect and greater level of population heterogeneity increases this effect.…”

A history of the Molemas, African notables in South Africa, 1880s to 1920s by Moguerane, KD

“…The thesis also points to the various historical transformations and private entanglements that enmeshed various conceptions of nationhood into the everyday experience of the family as an emotive and socialising institution. These sentiments of nationhood profoundly shaped this family’s self-understanding, and mediated the choices children made about work, marriage and other significant relationships. …”

Study of inertial hydrodynamic focusing in sheath-driven flows for lab-on-a-chip flow cytometry by Panwar, Nishtha, Song, Peiyi, Yong, Ken-Tye, Tjin, Swee Chuan

“…Most models predict the width of the focused sample stream based on hydrodynamic focusing in the low Reynolds number regime (Re << 1), where the viscous forces dominate the inertial forces. …”

Acceleration by Stepsize Hedging: Multi-Step Descent and the Silver Stepsize Schedule by Altschuler, Jason, Parrilo, Pablo

“…This leads to a phase transition in the convergence rate: initially super-exponential (acceleration regime), then exponential (saturation regime). The core algorithmic intuition is hedging between individually suboptimal strategiesÐshort steps and long stepsÐsince bad cases for the former are good cases for the latter, and vice versa. …”

One-shot yield-cost relations in general quantum resource theories by Takagi, Ryuji, Regula, Bartosz, Wilde, Mark M.

“…Although it is well known that the amount of resources that can be asymptotically distilled from a quantum state or channel does not exceed the resource cost needed to produce it, the corresponding relation in the non-asymptotic regime hitherto has not been well understood. Here, we establish a quantitative relation between the one-shot distillable resource yield and dilution cost in terms of transformation errors involved in these processes. …”
