Predicative adjectives in Thai: diachronic changes in the past century by Jaratjarungkiat, Sureenate, Park, Kyung-Eun, Tan, Samuel Yuan Han

“…Peripheral adjectives, on the other hand, bear resemblance to both nouns and verbs from a syntactic standpoint (e.g. they may co-occur with the negation marker, auxiliary verbs and even the copula /pen/). …”

Artificial Intelligence and the US-China Balance of Power by Chang, Benjamin Angel

“…Finally, the third essay exploits supply chain datasets to assess each side’s ability to bring AI-enabled autonomous weapons to bear in future conventional conflicts. I find that control over the production of advanced AI chips by the United States and allies almost certainly means the United States would better exploit such weapons, if they emerged as decisive in modern warfare, within at least the next ten years. …”

Industrial policy refraction: how corporate strategy shapes development outcomes in Brazil by Zylberberg, E

“…My findings are brought to bear on three traditionally disparate bodies of research –industrial policy, corporate strategy and institutional theory – extending each and also bringing them into fruitful communion with one another.…”

Soft law, hard stakes? State commitment to non-binding international instruments and the case of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples by Villeneuve, L

“…In this thesis, incorporating insights from public international law into rationalist IR approaches, I argue that soft law instruments can have important effects over time and bring substantial costs for states to bear. This is particularly the case for soft law instruments ‘hardening’ through domestic law, treaties or customary international law, increasing the sovereignty and implementation costs attached to commitment. …”

The effect of silver nitrate and silver thiosulphate on in vitro shoot regeneration of australian pink finger lime (Citrus australasica cv. Mia Rose) by Qiao, Stephanie Er Wong, Sreeramanan Subramaniam, Bee, Lynn Chew

“…Conventional propagation of C. australasica is challenged by incompatibility issues during grafting and budding, its monoembryonic nature, and the lengthy time required to flower and bear fruits. Micropropagation on the other hand is an efficient alternative to conventional propagation for various commercial crops including citruses. …”
