On the most energy-efficient input functions and the lowest input energy of passive linear circuits by Smunyahirun, Radit

“…The optimization by using calculus of variations is expanded to any first order passive circuits. It turns out that the most energy-efficient function for general first order circuits is hyperbolic family. …”

From phosphate to refugees: the offshore refugee boom in the Republic of Nauru by Morris, J

“…After outlining my theoretical framing, I explore the many procedures and techniques that modulate to Nauru’s state-building effort as a phosphate turned refugee company town.</p> <p>Nauru has occupied a prominent place in the international news, but the landscape of refugee market production that takes place there is represented by legal critics and global media as an exception. …”

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) enhanced biosensors by Zhang, Jinling

“…The detections operated on AuNH array using the collective effects of LSP and PSP turned out to be a promising combination in that it theoretically by simulation and experimentally revealed that the fluorescent enhancement was stronger in 2 orders of magnitude as compared with flat Au thin film substrate irradiated off-resonance. …”

Going on from Picasso? Late modernism and the dynamics of history by Nelson, S

“…As in the various re-stagings of Picasso’s 'Demoiselles d’Avignon' (1907; itself, of course, a crossing-point for multiple traditions) carried out by Hartigan in the 1950s, Souza in the 1960s, and Robert Colescott in the 1980s, they actively diverted and reshaped these histories, turning such reflection into the material for continued painterly practice. …”

Thermal energy storage enhancement of latent heat thermal energy storage systems by Low, Zheng Hua

Studies of insulin transport across intestinal epithelium using nano-encapsulation for oral delivery by Zhang, Yiming

“…Great efforts have been devoted to the development of an effective alternative treatment but none of them has been turned into a solution to date. The discovery of insulin in the early 1920s brought promising hopes to pharmaceutical industries as increasing number of them have been attempting to load the drug in a capsule for the conventional oral route. …”

Landless in God’s own country: development and perpetual struggles in Kerala by Ramapurath Chemmencheri, S

“…Meanwhile, they have been dissuaded from turning into labourers in constant migration by virtue of welfare provisions and political mobilisation. …”

Tabula rasa: model transfer for object category detection by Aytar, Y, Zisserman, A

“…Our objective is transfer training of a discriminatively trained object category detector, in order to reduce the number of training images required. …”

'A poem in leaden hexameters': on rehabilitating Dorotheus’ Carmen Astrologicum by Lightfoot, JL

“…Our main evidence for the lost five-book astrological poem of Dorotheus of Sidon is an Arabic translation by David Pingree, but examination of the Greek fragments reveals essential aspects of the poem over and above its informational content. …”

Made to order: discovering monotonic temporal changes via self-supervised video ordering by Yang, C, Xie, W, Zisserman, A

“…Our objective is to discover and localize monotonic temporal changes in a sequence of images. …”

Ride-hailing application for driver (gamification) by Lim, Yu En

“…It has revolutionized the way people travel and commute, bringing about an ease of convenience and plenty of time saved, especially in a fast-paced society like ours. Ride-hailing is done when a customer uses an application to “hail” for a local driver to take them to their destinations. …”
