Prism dispersion effects in near-guided-wave surface plasmon resonance sensors by Shalabney, Atef, Abdulhalim, Ibrahim

“…Refractive index dispersion causes the light line to curve. As a result it is shown that when the prism is dispersive, an additional dip in the spectral response of Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) sensors is observed in the Kretschmann-Raether (KR) configuration. …”

The elusiveness of 'interdependent obligations' and the invocation of responsibility for their breach by Urs, P

“…The Commission, for its part, addressed the invocation of responsibility for breaches of such obligations by distinguishing between the respective entitlements of ‘an injured State’, under article 42, and ‘a State other than injured State’, under article 48. In line with this distinction, the existing debate has focused largely on clarifying the entitlement of ‘a State other than an injured State’ to invoke responsibility for breaches of obligations owed erga omnes partes or erga omnes, in accordance with article 48. …”

One-dimensional sectors from the squashed three-sphere by Bomans, P, Pufu, SS

“…Three-dimensional $\mathcal{N}$ = 4 superconformal field theories contain 1d topological sectors consisting of twisted linear combinations of half-BPS local operators that can be inserted anywhere along a line. After a conformal mapping to a round three-sphere, the 1d sectors are now defined on a great circle of $\mathcal{S}$³. …”

The intelligence of artifice: Oscar Wilde and AI by Tyson, C, Mendelssohn, M

“…At the turn of the century, Wilde recombined strands inherited from French and American sources and refashioned them into a new artistic stance that anticipated the postmodern preoccupation with fakery. A direct line can be traced between Baudrillard’s ‘simulacra’ and Jameson’s ‘linguistic masks’ and Wilde’s celebration of ‘the truth of masks’ a century earlier. …”

Autoimmune and paraneoplastic seizures by Wagner, B, Irani, S

“…We emphasize the more effective immunotherapy response in patients with causative autoantibodies, and discuss the emerging evidence for various first-, second-, and third-line immunotherapies. Finally, we highlight available clinical rating scales which can guide autoantibody testing and immunotherapy in patients with seizures of unknown etiology. …”

The Enggano-Dutch word list derived from Helfrich's (1916) “Nadere Bijdrage Tot de Kennis van Het Engganeesch” by Rajeg, GPW

“…In addition, we include the following files: (a) the orthography profile; (b) the variant form table; (c) R codes to pre-process the database (all ended with .R extension); (d) output of the Indonesian translation in .rds format where the source is Dutch or English. The one-line, multiple forms in the original are split into separate rows.…”

Insulinotropic activity of Tinospora crispa extract: effect on β-cell Ca2+ handling by Noor, Hamdan, Ashcroft, Stephen J. H.

“…The mechanism of insulinotropic action of Tinospora crispa was investigated in vitro using an insulin-secreting clonal β-cell line, HIT-T15. The aqueous extract sensitizes the β-cell to extracellular Ca2+ and promotes intracellular Ca2+ accumulation which in turn causes increased insulin release. …”

HyMap imagery for copper and manganese prospecting in the east of Ameln valley shear zone (Kerdous inlier, western Anti-Atlas, Morocco) by Hajaj, Soufiane, El Harti, Abderrazak, Jellouli, Amine, Pour, Amin Beiranvand, Himyari, Saloua Mnissar, Hamzaoui, Abderrazak, Bensalah, Mohamed Khalil, Benaouiss, Naima, Hashim, Mazlan

“…The Relative Absorption Band Depth, Directed Principal Component Analysis, Line Density, and Mixture Tuned Matched Filtering techniques were implemented to perform 20 thematic layers. …”

A type of novel energy harvesting device by Deng, J

“…However, these traditional energy sources are impractical for powering wireless devices due to their inherent limitations, e.g., the high setup cost of wiring power and the finite life span of batteries. In view of these facts, more attentions have been drawn on vibration energy sources existing in ambient environment where sensors operate. …”

The iHealth-T2D study, prevention of type 2 diabetes amongst South Asians with central obesity and prediabetes: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial by Kasturiratne, Anuradhani, Khawaja, Khadija I., Ahmad, Sajjad, Siddiqui, Samreen, Shahzad, Khurram, Athauda, Lathika K., Jayawardena, Ranil, Mahmood, Sara, Muilwijk, Mirthe, Batool, Tayyaba, Burney, Saira, Glover, Matthew, Palaniswamy, Saranya, Bamunuarachchi, Vodathi, Panda, Manju, Madawanarachchi, Suren, Rai, Baldeesh, Sattar, Iqra, Silva, Wnurinham, Waghdhare, Swati, Jarvelin, Marjo-Riitta, Rannan-Eliya, Ravindra P., Gage, Heather M., van Valkengoed, Irene G.

“…Based on the follow-up to end 2019, the observed incidence of T2D in the study population is in line with expectations (6.1% per annum). Conclusion: The iHealth-T2D study will advance understanding of strategies for the prevention of diabetes amongst South Asians, use approaches for screening and intervention that are adapted for low-resource settings. …”
