High-spin impurities and surface acoustic waves in piezoelectric crystals for spin-lattice coupling by Magnusson, E

“…We observed a clear signal at T &amp;sime; 25 K, at a field near the expected one for a Δ<em>m</em>_s = 2 transition between the |−1〉 and |+1〉 states. …”

Spin-ice physics and phase transitions in cadmium cyanide by Coates, CS

“…</p> <p>The main result of this thesis is to demonstrate that by replacing the magnetic dipole in spin-ice with the electric dipole of the cyanide ion, cadmium cyanide displays spin-ice behaviour at temperatures nearly sixty times higher that in its magnetic analogue. …”

Government resilience in the digital age by Raieste, A, Rebane, A, Tapupere, M, McBride, K

“…<br> For many governments, the COVID-19 pandemic was a wakeup call. Nearly 30% of governments in Europe had to postpone elections, education was disrupted, and many governments struggled to ensure the availability of their public services. …”

Adverse health events associated with antipsychotic use: an umbrella review by Chow, RTS

“…<p>INTRODUCTION: Antipsychotic medications are prescribed in nearly 800,000 patients in England. Monitoring the adverse effects of antipsychotics is essential in the prevention of harm to patients. …”

Modelling laser-induced vapour bubbles for lithotripsy treatment of kidney stones by Abrahams, S

Exoplanet Albedo Spectra and Colors as a Function of Planet Phase, Separation, and Metallicity by Cahoy, Kerri, Marley, Mark, Fortney, Jonathan

“…In addition to alkalis and methane, our Jupiter models show H2O absorption features near 0.94 μm. While solar system giant planets are well separated by their broadband colors, we find that arbitrary giant exoplanets can have a large range of possible colors and that color alone cannot be relied upon to characterize planet types. …”

Revealing Structural and Spin-state Dependent Reactivity of Single Atom Catalysts (SACs) with Systematically Improvable Computational Tools by Jia, Haojun (贾皓钧)

“…Moreover, modulating the coordination environment near single metal sites by means of codopants, we carry out a large-scale virtual high-throughput screening (VHTS) of transition metal (i.e., Mn, Fe, Co, and Ru) SACs codoped with various elements (i.e., N, O, P, and S) in numerous spin and oxidation (i.e., M(II)/M(III)) states for the challenging conversion of methane to methanol. …”

Using Principles from Cognitive Science to Analyze and Guide Language-Related Neural Networks by Tucker, Mycal

“…First, human naming systems (e.g., a language’s words for colors such as “red” or “blue”) appear near-optimal in an informationtheoretic sense of compressing meaning into a small number of words; I ask how one might train AI systems that behave similarly. …”
