“…<p><strong> Results </p></strong>In the base-case analysis, molnupiravir had higher mean costs of £449 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 445 to 453) and higher mean QALYs of 0.0055 (95% CI = 0.0044 to 0.0067) than usual care (mean incremental cost per QALY of £81 190). …”

Investigation of the reliability of nano-nickel/niobium oxide-based multilayer thin films deposited on polymer substrates for flexible electronic applications by Sahay, Rahul, Tu, Yen-Cheng, Aziz, Izzat, Budiman, Arief S., Tan, Cher Ming, Lee, Pooi See, Thomas, Olivier, Raghavan, Nagarajan

“…However, the reliability of such devices, both mechanical and electrical, is a bottleneck for their widespread application across different use-case scenarios. Here, we report the reliability of nickel-niobium oxide (crystalline-amorphous) sandwich nanolayers on a PI substrate (Ni-Nb2O5-PI) compared to pure nickel (Ni) nanolayers on a PI substrate (Ni-PI) as a potential candidate for electrodes or interconnects for flexible electronic or energy devices. …”

Multiscale Gaussian network model (mGNM) and multiscale anisotropic network model (mANM) by Xia, Kelin, Opron, Kristopher, Wei, Guo-Wei

“…In this work, we propose generalized GNM (gGNM) and ANM methods and show that the GNM Kirchhoff matrix can be built from the ideal low-pass filter, which is a special case of a wide class of correlation functions underpinning the linear scaling flexibility-rigidity index (FRI) method. …”

Doodles and Blobs on a Ruled Page: Convex Quasi-envelops of Traversing Flows on Surfaces by Katz, Gabriel

“…We compute the bordisms of regular embeddings and construct many invariants that distinguish between the bordisms of immersions and embeddings. In the case of oriented doodles on $$A= {\mathbb {R}} \times I$$ A = R × I , our computations of 2-moderate immersion bordisms $$\textbf{OC}^{\textsf{imm}}_{\mathsf {moderate \le 2}}(A)$$ OC moderate ≤ 2 imm ( A ) are near complete: we show that they can be described by an exact sequence of abelian groups $$\begin{aligned} 0 \rightarrow {\textbf{K}} \rightarrow \textbf{OC}^{\textsf{imm}}_{\mathsf {moderate \le 2}}(A)\big /\textbf{OC}^{\textsf{emb}}_{\mathsf {moderate \le 2}}(A) {\mathop {\longrightarrow }\limits ^{{\mathcal {I}} \rho }} {\mathbb {Z}} \times {\mathbb {Z}} \rightarrow 0, \end{aligned}$$ 0 → K → OC moderate ≤ 2 imm ( A ) / OC moderate ≤ 2 emb ( A ) ⟶ I ρ Z × Z → 0 , where $$\textbf{OC}^{\textsf{emb}}_{\mathsf {moderate \le 2}}(A) \approx {\mathbb {Z}} \times {\mathbb {Z}}$$ OC moderate ≤ 2 emb ( A ) ≈ Z × Z , the epimorphism $${\mathcal {I}} \rho $$ I ρ counts different types of crossings of immersed doodles, and the kernel $${\textbf{K}}$$ K contains the group $$({\mathbb {Z}})^\infty $$ ( Z ) ∞ whose generators are described explicitly.…”

Near-zero environmental impact aircraft by Prashanth, Prakash, Elmourad, Jad, Grobler, Carla, Isaacs, Stewart, Zahid, Syed Shayan, Abel, James, Falter, Christoph, Fritz, Thibaud, Allroggen, Florian, Sabnis, Jayant S., Eastham, Sebastian D., Speth, Raymond L., Barrett, Steven R. H.

“…The proposed aircraft-energy systems reduce combined climate and air quality impacts by 99%, with fuel costs increasing by 40% for hydrogen and 70% for power-to-liquid fueled aircraft relative to today's fleet (i.e., within the range of historical jet fuel price variation). Beyond the specific case presented here, this work presents a framework for holistic analysis of future aviation systems that considers both climate and air quality impacts.…”

Autonomy Work: Personhood, Expertise, and Activism of Disabled AI Data Workers in China by Wu, Di

“…In recent years, ENABLE has developed numerous projects with tech companies to hire people with visual and physical impairments as data annotators for AI systems and to design assistive technologies for the community. In ENABLE’s case, what appears to be a familiar story of capitalist exploitation of disabled people turns out to be, instead, a story about the struggles of disabled Chinese people over different ways of being, living, and relating. …”
