On Lie Theory in the Verlinde Category by Kannan, Arun S.

“…This is not true in positive characteristic, with the most fundamental counterexamples being the Verlinde category Verₚ and its higher analogs Verₚn. It seems these categories will play a role in generalizing Deligne's theorem, and therefore, to understand symmetric tensor categories of moderate growth in general, it is important to study affine group schemes in these categories. …”

Evaluation of unsaturated soil slope stability by incorporating soil-water characteristic curve by Zhai, Qian, Tian, Gang, Ye, Weimin, Rahardjo, Harianto, Dai, Guoliang, Wang, Shijun

“…However, a low factor of safety (FoS) for these slopes would be computed from the slope stability analysis following local code practices. It seems that the analyzed results following the local code practices do not agree with the real condition as observed in the field. …”

Synthesis and characterization of novel biodegradable thermoplastic elastomers by Widjaja, Leonardus Kresna

“…With regards to the elasticity, however, creep test results show that adding PCL to PLLA block seems to reduce the “equilibrium” recovery, while cyclic test results shows that the instantaneous recovery increased significantly with more PCL inside PLLA block. …”

In memory of Aureliano's ice. by Ho, Jia Xuan.

“…These repeated images suggest hints of conflicting emotions, a thin line between sentimentalism and obsession, yet undeniably, there seems to be more meaning attached to this piece of memory than what is actually revealed. …”

An experimental investigation on the noise emission and fuel consumption of diesel engine by Foo, Jin Yuan

“…Road traffic has always been a source of noise pollution owing to the rapid advancement in technology and growing population. This problem seems to be more dominant especially in developing countries that do not have proper statistical information to generate noise estimates for noise management regulations. …”

Modelling insight as a creative domain: process or phenomenology? by Ormerod, Thomas C., Ross, Wendy

“…We conclude with a call to generate multiple research pathways, one examining the phenomenology of the feeling of insight, the other returning to tackle unanswered questions about the process of generating novel understanding when faced with a problem which seems unsurmountable.…”

Do built environment factors have different effects on ridesourcing usage before and after the COVID-19 pandemic? by Jin, T, Cheng, L, Wang, S, Cao, J, Schwanen, T, Witlox, F

“…The positive effect of land use mix before the pandemic also turns into a negative effect after the pandemic. It seems that COVID-19 is having long-term effects on ridesourcing usage, at least in Chicago. …”

Behavioural and neural effects of temporal relations between stimuli by Mancari, A

“…Neural activity is known to synchronize to environmental rhythms, which in turn drive modulations of our perception and behaviour that reflect their temporal structure. While this process seems largely automatic, I found evidence for an active neural mechanism regulating the propagation of entrainment across modalities based on behavioural goals.…”

Cultural transmission of fitness in mathematical population genetics by Kvasznicza, I

Enzymatic transesterification of palm olein with nonspecific and 1,3-specific lipases by Ghazali, H.M., Hamidah, S., Che Man, Y.B.

“…The effects of transesterification and hydrolysis of palm olein by the various lipases resulted in changes in the overall degree of saturation of the triglyceride components. There seems to be no clear correlation between the enzyme positional specificity and the products formed. …”

Turbulent diapycnal fluxes as a pilot Essential Ocean Variable by Le Boyer, Arnaud, Couto, Nicole, Alford, Matthew H., Drake, Henri F., Bluteau, Cynthia E., Hughes, Kenneth G., Naveira Garabato, Alberto C., Moulin, Aurélie J., Peacock, Thomas, Fine, Elizabeth C., Mashayek, Ali, Cimoli, Laura, Meredith, Michael P., Melet, Angelique, Fer, Ilker, Dengler, Marcus, Stevens, Craig L.

“…Unlike isopycnal turbulent fluxes, which are dominated by the mesoscale (tens of kilometers), microscale diapycnal fluxes cannot be derived as the product of existing EOVs, but rather require observations at the appropriate scales. …”
