Our weapons, our problem: arms exports, democracy and civil society in Brazil and the UK by de Moraes, RF

“…The causal mechanism is in part explained by activities conducted by norm entrepreneurs, whose emergence is facilitated by the existence of institutions commonly found in democratic countries, especially a system of checks and balances, contested elections, and political and civil liberties. …”

Filter selection for indoor-recirculating fan-coil unit respect to indoor-to-outdoor particle relationships and occupancy influences by Xu, Xiaoqian

“…Occupancy level was recorded on hourly basis, indoor-to-outdoor (I/O) ratio for both of static period and active period were compared by paired sample t-test to check whether the mean values for accumulated PM2.5 (bin1 to bin3) differs by the occupancy. …”

The molecular determinants of Polycomb-mediated gene repression by Fursova, N

“…Instead, through systematic interrogation of how H2AK119ub1 is placed and kept in check in the genome, I discovered a remarkable degree of synergy between variant PRC1 complexes, which is central to deposition of H2AK119ub1, Polycomb chromatin domain formation and gene repression. …”

Differences in pulse manifestations at Cunkou based on simplified modeling of tactile sensing by Shi, Yubing, Yang, Hongyi, Yeo, Joon Hock

“…Some researchers mentioned that no significant differences were observed in pulse manifestations at various Cunkou areas, hence there might be some difficulty in evaluating the status of different organs through checking pulse manifestations at Cunkou. This research aims to analyze the pulse response at Cunkou from the aspect of the characteristics of tactile sensing, thus to give a preliminary explanation to the above question. …”

Constraint satisfaction approach to product configuration with cost estimation by Wang, Lin

“…To address issues of augmented backtracking (trashing and late conflict detection), a hybrid solving algorithm—forward checking and backjumping with fail-first heuristic (FC-BJ with FF)—is applied to the extended DCSP-based system to enhance solving efficiency. …”

Essays on development economics by Wang, Wen

“…The estimation results remain robust when subjected to further checks and sensitivity tests. In addition, we consider alternative channels including pathogen stress, historical population density and colonization, which may also influence the degree of institutionalized democracy via the cultural dimension of collectivism / individualism. …”

Advances in 3D optical profilometry by Huang, Lei

“…In addition, a practical phase retrieval framework is proposed for multi-frequency phase shifting method to accurately calculate the absolute phase and automatically identify invalid phase points via a thresholding and criterion checking process. For dynamic application, only a single frame of data is available to retrieve the wrapped phase and then unwrap it. …”
