Introduction - Oxford Energy Forum – Issue, 96

“…No longer just global suppliers of energy, the GCC states have become a key centre of energy demand growth in their own right, accounting to a large extent for projections such as those by the IEA that see the Middle East alongside Asia as the world’s future energy demand growth centres well into the 2030s. …”

Can social adversity and mental, physical and oral multimorbidity form a syndemic? A concept and protocol paper by Joury, E, Nakhleh, E, Beveridge, E, Tracy, D, Heidari, E, Shiers, D, Vereeken, S, Peckham, E, Gilbody, S, Das-Munshi, J, Fortune, F, Aggarwal, VR, Mishu, M, Firth, J, Bhui, K

Interferometric scattering microscopy by Young, G, Kukura, P

“…Interferometric scattering microscopy (iSCAT) is an extremely sensitive imaging method based on the efficient detection of light scattered by nanoscopic objects. The ability to, at least in principle, maintain high imaging contrast independent of the exposure time or the scattering cross section of the object allows for unique applications in single-particle tracking, label-free imaging of nanoscopic (dis)assembly, and quantitative single-molecule characterization. …”

Low energy levels of harmonic spheres into analytic manifolds by Rupflin, M

“…While a well known conjecture asserts that ΞE(N) is discrete whenever N is analytic, for most analytic targets it is only known that any potential accumulation point of the energy spectrum must be given by the sum of the energies of at least two harmonic spheres. The lowest energy level that could hence potentially be an accumulation point of ΞE is thus 2Emin. …”

A counterexample to the coarse Menger conjecture by Nguyen, T, Scott, A, Seymour, P

“…Recently, Georgakopoulos and Papasoglu and, independently, Albrechtsen, Huynh, Jacobs, Knappe and Wollan conjectured a coarse analogue of Menger’s theorem, when the k paths are required to be pairwise at some distance at least d. The result is known for k ≤ 2, but we will show that it is false for all k ≥ 3, even if G is constrained to have maximum degree at most three. …”
