Repulsive Casimir effect in Chern insulators by Tiang, Bi Hong

“…The high temperature regime may diminish the hall conductivity and it tends to generate attractive Casimir force. Moreover, for the zero temperature case with higher Chern numbers C = 3, 4, 8, we suggest that it is possible to get repulsive Casimir force as the hall conductivity of two Chern Insulators has opposing signs.…”

Development and severity analysis of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) collision with covered linkway by Ng, Nathaniel Jingwei

“…A higher impact speed resulted in higher maximum contact force and displacement for both rigid impactor and UAV cases. The rigid impactor tends to overpredict the maximum contact force compared to the UAV. …”

Study of sFRP1 and β-catenin of Wnt signaling pathway in triple negative breast cancer and their correlation with clinicopathologic outcomes. by Seah, Cindy Chiou Peng.

“…Moreover, triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) tends to have a poorer prognosis. A cohort of 109 representative TNBC cases was retrieved to further study the wnt signaling pathway in TNBC by determining the expression profiles of secreted Frizzled-related protein 1 (sFRP1) and β-catenin using immunohistochemistry, and to identify the association of these protein expressions with clinicopathological characteristics and survival data and their prognostic significance, if any, in TNBC. …”

Popular safe haven assets, do they really exist for stock markets? Analysis on gold, Japanese yen and Swiss franc. by Liu, Chang., Ho, Pauline., Xu, Qiong.

“…After further classifying the stock market data into bull and bear periods, then by looking at the days of extreme negative returns in each situation, we realize that the safe haven effect in these assets tends to be stronger in bearish stock markets. Interestingly, gold loses its safe haven property for extremely negative daily returns of bullish stock markets while yen persists on as the strongest safe haven asset possible overall.…”

UnidecNMR: automatic peak detection for NMR spectra in 1-4 dimensions by Buchanan, C, Karunanithy, G, Tkachenko, O, Barber, M, Marty, MT, Nott, TJ, Redfield, C, Baldwin, AJ

“…While many algorithms are available to tackle this problem, their performance tends to be inferior to that of an experienced user. …”

Static elastic properties of composite materials containing microspheres by Jones, GW

“…Subsequently, we analyse the buckling criterion asymptotically in the limit as the thickness ratio tends to zero by analogy with the WKB analysis of a beam on a variable-stiffness substrate. …”

Energy transfer in the spatial evolution of double-wave-group focusing by Zhou, B, Ding, K, Xiao, Y, Wang, L, Tang, T

“…The findings reveal that a sea state with a narrower intermodal distance or an uneven distribution of the bimodal spectrum tends to induce larger waves. The third-order nonlinear interaction is primarily triggered by the transient wave focusing, as opposed to a prolonged evolution like the behavior of even-order components. …”

On the design of energy storage systems for the smoothing and dispatch planning of large-scale wind power generation by Li, Mengting

“…In fact, power generation from wind farms has often been excluded in the dispatch planning of the grids. …”

Game theoretical security detection strategy for networked systems by Wu, Hao, Wang, Wei, Wen, Changyun, Li, Zhengguo

“…The results reflect that with limited resources and capacities, the defender (attacker) tends to perform defense (attack) actions and further allocate more defense (less attack) resources to the units with larger assets. …”

Ultrafast laser pulse repetition rate dependent switching of nonlinearity in water by Perumbilavil, Sreekanth, Sandeep, C. S. Suchand, Matham, Murukeshan Vadakke

“…For repetition rates beyond 100 kHz, the nonlinearity gets reversed, where water tends to behave more like a saturable absorber with a weak three-photon absorption component.…”

Analysis of rainfall datasets for major Asian cities (Jakarta) by Loke, Jun Wei.

“…TRMM is highly reliable for the accounts of the frequency and duration of rainy days while APHRODITE tends to overestimate to a larger extent. While expecting datasets to be able to capture peak/extreme values better, results showed low agreement of product datasets capturing extreme events as recorded by the ground gauges. …”

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.…”

The secret geographer: thinking aloud on legal engagements in scholar-activism by Brickell, K, Jeffrey, A, McConnell, F, Ahearn, A, Calkin, S, Klosterkamp, S

“…By going ‘behind the scenes’ the roundtable also offers new insights into how explicitly or outwardly ‘activist’ geographers are able or want to be in their scholar-activism in law. Activism tends to be understood as an intentional, planned-for, and public endeavour, yet the roundtable tells a more nuanced story. …”

Evolution PDEs on graphs and inverse problems in aggregation-diffusion equations by Mikolás, L

“…Additionally, we derive a discrete-to-continuum limit as the number of vertices tends to infinity. We lift the equation on the co-evolving graph to a type of nonlinear continuity equation on Euclidean space whose velocity field depends on the graph structure. …”

Seismic performance of reinforced concrete columns with plain longitudinal reinforcing bars by Pham, Thanh Phuong, Li, Bing

“…Further comparisons with the existing model for evaluation of existing structures revealed that the ASCE/SEI 41-06 provision tends to overestimate initial stiffness and shear strength, but substantially underestimates drift capacities of columns with plain reinforcing bars. …”

A probabilistic particle-control approximation of chance-constrained stochastic predictive control by Blackmore, Lars, Ono, Masahiro, Bektassov, Askar, Williams, Brian Charles

“…By expressing these particles in terms of the control variables, we are able to approximate the original stochastic control problem as a deterministic one; furthermore, the approximation becomes exact as the number of particles tends to infinity. This method applies to arbitrary noise distributions, and for systems with linear or jump Markov linear dynamics, we show that the approximate problem can be solved using efficient mixed-integer linear-programming techniques. …”
