British unpaid carers’ perspectives on what impacts their resilience when providing end of life care at home- a scoping review by Gould, S, Borgstrom, E, McCallum, K, Wee, B, Garcia, R

“…Most studies focused on coping strategies (n = 9), not resilience. Nearly all identified studies involved bereaved carers (n = 9), with no studies focusing purely on current unpaid carer experience. …”

100 THz optical switching with plasmonic metamaterial by Venkatram, Nalla, Stefano, Vezzol, João, Valente, Sun, Handong, Nikolay, Zheludev

“…In coherent perfect absorption, the interference of two counter-propagating coherent beams on a highly absorbing material of sub- wavelength thickness can either lead to nearly total transmission or to nearly total absorption of the incident light, depending on their mutual intensity and phase.1 A device based on coherent absorption has the advantage of being compact, fast, and intrinsically low power while demonstrating large modulations of light. …”

Information and bargaining through agents: experimental evidence from Mexico’s labor courts by Sadka, J, Seira, E, Woodruff, CM

“…We provide parties with personalized predictions for case outcomes and show that this information nearly doubles settlement rates and reduces average case duration. …”

Monetary policy in open economies with production networks by Qiu, Z, Wang, Y, Xu, L, Zanetti, F

“…The monetary policy that closes the domestic output gap is nearly optimal and is implemented by stabilizing the aggregate inflation index that weights sectoral inflation according to the sector’s roles as a supplier of inputs and a net exporter of products within the international production networks. …”

Instrumentation optimisation for unicompartmental knee replacement by Arthur, LW

“…To minimise the risk of bearing fracture in the very long-term, surgeons should position the bearing close to the tibial wall, neutrally align the femoral component, and avoid using the thinnest Size 3 bearings in young patients.…”

Neap-spring tidal effects on dissolved oxygen in two Malaysian estuaries by Nelson, Bruce W., Sasekumar, A., Ibrahim, Zelina Z.
