Comparative statics with adjustment costs and the Le Chatelier principle by Dekel, E, Quah, JK-H, Sinander, L

“…We show that comparative-statics conclusions may be drawn under the usual ordinal complementarity assumptions on the objective function, assuming very little about costs: only a mild monotonicity condition is required. We use this insight to prove a general Le Chatelier principle: under the ordinal complementarity assumptions, if short-run adjustment is subject to a monotone cost, then the long-run response to a shock is greater than the short-run response. …”

Gold-catalyzed cyclization of yndiamides with isoxazoles via α-imino gold Fischer carbenes by Tong, Z, Smith, PJ, Pickford, HD, Christensen, KE, Anderson, EA

“…The reaction proceeds rapidly under mild conditions, with high regioselectivity being achieved by introducing a subtle steric bias between the nitrogen substituents on the yndiamide. …”

Engineering the frontier orbitals of a diazadiborinine for facile activation of H2, NH3, and an isonitrile by Su, Yuanting, Li, Yongxin, Ganguly, Rakesh, Kinjo, Rei

“…Thus, the 1,3,2,5‐diazadiborinine readily cleaves the H−H bond of dihydrogen and an N−H bond of ammonia under mild conditions. Moreover, it reacts with 2,6‐dimethylphenylisonitrile in a [4+1] cycloaddition at room temperature.…”

Effect of Z19n, a synthetic compound, on Cutibacterium acnes growth and biofilm by Choo, Ying

“…As a chronic inflammatory skin disease of the pilosebaceous units and one of the most common skin disorders in the world, acne has affected 88% of adolescents aged 13-19 in Singapore.[1] Treatment for acne is the use of antibiotics. For mild to moderate acne, topical antibiotics are given while oral antibiotics are given to treat moderate to severe acne. …”

Stable signal recovery in compressed sensing with a structured matrix perturbation by Yang, Zai, Zhang, Cishen, Xie, Lihua

“…Unlike existing robust signal recoveries with the recovery error growing linearly with the perturbation level, this paper analyzes the CS problem subject to a structured perturbation to provide conditions for stable signal recovery under measurement noise. Under mild conditions on the perturbed sensing matrix, similar to that for the standard CS, it is shown that a sparse signal can be stably recovered by ℓ1 minimization. …”

Well-posedness and stability of a stochastic neural field in the form of a partial differential equation by Carrillo de la Plata, JA, Roux, P, Solem, S

“…In this article, we transform the problem through a suitable change of variables into a nonlinear Stefan-like free boundary problem and use its representation formulae to construct local-in-time smooth solutions under mild hypotheses. Then, we prove that fast-decaying initial conditions and globally Lipschitz modulation functions imply that solutions are global-intime. …”

Cyclodextrin-functionalized thiophene-based copolymers and their guest-host recognition behaviour by Soheila Bahmanjah.

“…These copolymers are quantitatively and rapidly converted into functionalized polymers under mild conditions by post polymerization reactions with 6^A-amino-6^A-alpha-deoxy-cyclodextrin and 6^A-amino-6^A-beta-deoxy-cyclodextrin.These polythiophene derivatives exhibit a highly conjugated form in the solid state at room temperature and their molecular recognition behaviour has been investigated. …”

New insights into the genetic etiology of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias by Bellenguez, C, Küçükali, F, Jansen, IE, Amin, N, Ahmad, S, Lovestone, S, Smith, AD, Warden, D, Wilcock, G, Laitinen, T, van Duijn, CM

“…We also built a new genetic risk score associated with the risk of future AD/dementia or progression from mild cognitive impairment to AD/dementia. The improvement in prediction led to a 1.6- to 1.9-fold increase in AD risk from the lowest to the highest decile, in addition to effects of age and the <i>APOE</i> ε4 allele.…”
