Global Bifurcations Organizing Weak Chimeras in Three Symmetrically Coupled Kuramoto Oscillators with Inertia by Ashwin, P, Bick, C

“…Hence, it is interesting to understand precisely how frequency synchrony is lost and how invariant sets such as attracting weak chimeras are generated at torus breakup, where the phase description breaks down. …”

Routing drone by Zheng, Min

“…In Drone routing, both the capability of the drone and the algorithm used for pathfinding are crucial in order to achieve a feasible and optimal complete tour. This project aims to build an approximation algorithm and a model, with the algorithm created as realistically as possible, being based on the state-of-the-art drone capability to suite the study on defining and controlling the flight path. …”

PTEN-opathies : from biological insights to evidence-based precision medicine by Yehia, Lamis, Ngeow, Joanne, Eng, Charis

“…The tumor suppressor phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) classically counteracts the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling cascade. Germline pathogenic PTEN mutations cause PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome (PHTS), featuring various benign and malignant tumors, as well as neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder. …”

Topological phases with parafermions: theory and blueprints by Alicea, J, Fendley, P

“…In particular, we highlight how parafermion chains host a topological phase featuring protected edge zero modes. We then tour several blueprints for the laboratory realization of parafermion zero modes—focusing on quantum Hall/superconductor hybrids, quantum Hall bilayers, and two-dimensional topological insulators—and describe striking experimental fingerprints that they provide. …”

Overexpression of 4EBP1, p70S6K, Akt1 or Akt2 differentially promotes Coxsackievirus B3-induced apoptosis in HeLa cells by Xing, X., Huang, L., Li, X., Li, Z., Zhou, W., Tian, L., Chen, J., Chen, C., Ma, Xing, Yang, Z.

“…Our previous studies have shown that the inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) or mTOR complex 1 can obviously promote the Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3)-induced apoptosis of HeLa cells by regulating the expression of proapoptotic factors. …”

Localised and bifurcating structures in planar shear flows by Wang, Zhe

“…With broken rotational symmetry, periodic orbits can experience a Neimark-Sacker bifurcation leading to a torus, a phase locking, a period-doubling cascade, a heteroclinic bifurcation, a coexistence between the quasiperiodic and chaotic behaviours. …”

“It’s complicated” : cognitive dissonance and the evolving relationship between editorial and advertising in US newsrooms by Duffy, Andrew, Cheng, Lydia

“…It finds reluctance to embrace this evolving relationship, revealed in the fragmented and contradictory syntax editors use to talk about it as they are torn between the old (ethically driven) norm of how things should be, and the emerging (economically driven) norm of how things are. …”
