Ant, spider and DNA: letting mindless generative mechanisms speak by Bråten, E

“…Their privileging of spatiotemporal immediacy entails a one-dimensional (flat) ontology that tends to push mindless generative mechanisms out of view. …”

Characterizing correlation within multipartite quantum systems via local randomized measurements by Liu, Zhenhuan, Zeng, Pei, Zhou, You, Gu, Mile

“…Yet, the experimental access of this quantity remains challenging as it tends to be nonlinear, and hence often requires tomography which becomes quickly intractable as dimensions of relevant quantum systems scale. …”

The external incentives model embedded: evidence from the European Union's eastern neighbourhood by Buscaneanu, Sergiu, Li, Andrew X.

“…The study corroborates the EIM and finds that higher domestic transformation costs lead to lower levels of democratic development and a positive cost–benefit balance of transformation, on the other hand, tends to encourage democratic consolidation in the Eastern ENP region.…”

Using broadband infrastructure as a social sensor to detect inequities in unemployment during the COVID-19 pandemic by Ritsch, N, Armanios, DE

“…This study explores the potential of using physical infrastructure as a "social sensor" for identifying marginalized communities. Prior work tends to explore biases in infrastructure as a retrospective "social autopsy". …”

Study of advanced in-space propulsion technologies by Tan, De Jun

Militarized masculinities beyond methodological nationalism : charting the multiple masculinities of an Indonesian jihadi by Duriesmith, David, Noor Huda Ismail

“…Based on fieldwork with Indonesian former foreign fighters, we make the case that feminist international relations have tended to unreflectively default to the nation when locating gender hierarchies. …”

OAM-based reconfigurable doppler shifts enable PAPR reduction for multi-carrier doppler diversity by Zhao, Yufei, Ge, Yao, Yang, Zhaojie, Ju, Gaohua, Ma, Lu, Lu, Yilong, Guan, Yong Liang

“…In a recent study, we discovered that even when the transceivers are stationary, a specific spatial Doppler shift can be generated by rotating the wavefront structure of the OAM helical beams. Furthermore, arbitrary integer rotational OAM Doppler shifts can be realized flexibly by using the recently popular digital encoding metasurfaces. …”

Compact and efficient elastic metasurface based on mass-stiffness relation for manipulation of flexural waves by Zhou, Weijian, Sun, Zeqing, Wu, Shangzi, Fan, Zheng

“…We use external mass blocks (pillars) to tune the effective mass and cut grooves in connecting beams to release effective stiffness. The two degrees of freedom are used to control the two design targets: local phase shift and impedance. …”

Alkali additives enable efficient large area (>55 cm²) slot-die coated perovskite solar modules by Rana, Prem Jyoti Singh, Febriansyah, Benny, Koh, Teck Min, Bening Tirta Muhammad, Salim, Teddy, Hooper, Thomas J. N., Kanwat, Anil, Ghosh, Biplab, Kajal, Priyanka, Lew, Jia Haur, Aw, Yeow Chong, Yantara, Natalia, Bruno, Annalisa, Pullarkat, Sumod A., Ager, Joel W., Leong, Wei Lin, Mhaisalkar, Subodh Gautam, Mathews, Nripan

“…Typical fabrication methods for laboratory-scale (<1 cm2) perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are undeniably not scalable and the control of crystallization of large-area perovskite layer for commercial sized modules is also particularly challenging. Here, a seed-assisted crystallization approach is demonstrated through addition of alkali salts, CsPbBr3 and KPb2Br5, to the perovskite precursor ink for enabling homogeneous and highly crystalline large-area Cs0.15FA0.85Pb(I0.83Br0.17)3 (CsFA) perovskite films via scalable slot-die coating technique. …”

“…Next, thermophilic biohydrogen production using a pretreated substrate was carried out at a temperature of 55 °C, mixing speed of 150 rpm, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) concentration of 29,100 mg/L, seed content of 18.2, and initial pH 7.14. The biohydrogen production potential (Hmax) was significantly increased by 145 (177 mL H2/g reducing sugar) by using enzymatically pretreated POME as a substrate. …”
