Patterns of link reciprocity in directed, signed networks by Gallo, A, Saracco, F, Lambiotte, R, Garlaschelli, D, Squartini, T

“…Most of the analyses concerning signed networks have focused on the balance theory, hence identifying frustration with undirected, triadic motifs having an odd number of negative edges; much less attention has been paid to their directed counterparts. To fill this gap, we focus on signed, directed connections, with the aim of exploring the notion of frustration in such a context. …”

Assessing compounding climate-related stresses and development pathways on the power sector in the central U.S. by Gurgel, Angelo Costa, Reilly, John, Morris, Jennifer, Schlosser, C. Adam, Gao, Xiang, Yuan, Mei, Tapia-Ahumada, Karen

“…We find increases in electricity demand to be more important in determining the size of the potential supply gap than stresses on power generation, while larger shares of renewables in the power system contribute to lower supply gaps. …”

Electronic structures of topological materials studied by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy by He, S

“…It is found that the presence or absence of the gapless surface states on bismuth surfaces is significantly influenced by these charge arrangements. Moreover, the findings are also linked to the <em>Z</em>₂ topology of bismuth and suggest possibilities for studying obstructed surface states in a broader range of topological materials.…”

Carrier scattering mechanisms limiting mobility in hydrogen-doped indium oxide by Husein, Sebastian, Stuckelberger, Michael, West, Bradley, Ding, Laura, Dauzou, Fabien, Morales-Masis, Monica, Duchamp, Martial, Holman, Zachary, Bertoni, Mariana I.

“…We find that at high hydrogen concentrations, the grain size is reduced, causing the onset of grain boundary scattering. …”

Uptake and safety of Sotrovimab for prevention of severe COVID-19 in a cohort and self-controlled case series study by Patone, M, Snelling, AJ, Tibble, H, Coupland, C, Sheikh, A, Hippisley-Cox, J

“…Trials have shown it to have mild to moderate side effects, however, evidence regarding its safety in real-world settings remains insufficient. …”

Investigation of Ni as Zn substitute in CZTS thin film solar cell by Quek, Ka Jun

“…In addition, two spray methods (dynamic and static mode) were also investigated based on scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and current-voltage characteristics to find the best method to synthesize CNZTS. The highest efficiency achieved was around 5.45% for pure Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) device using static mode, meanwhile the nickel-substituted samples behave like a metal instead of semiconductor when the Ni is substituted. …”

Understanding Indexing Efficiency for Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search in High-dimensional Vector Databases by Qin, Yuting

“…One of the most promising ANN indexing approaches is the graphbased approach, which first constructs a proximity graph on the dataset, connecting pairs of vectors that are close to each other, then traverse the proximity graph for each query to find the closest vectors to a query vector. The search performance, in terms of the scope of traversal that leads to convergence, is highly dependent on the quality of the graph. …”

Electronic structure of topological quantum materials probed by angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy by Schröter, N

“…Additionally, our characterization of its bulk electronic structure finds a large imbalance between the electron and hole carrier densities, which challenges the previously assumed scenario of perfect carrier compensation as the origin of the XMR.…”

Amino-functionalised β-diketiminate ligands (N-nacnacs): Synthesis and coordination chemistry with Main Group elements by Huan, D

“…This is broadly in line with the experimental findings, with the exception of the R = P(SiMe₃)₂ system which, together with the σ-withdrawing R = Cl system, exists in the N-nacnac-chelate form at room temperature.…”

Molecular and immunological profiling of Bartonella spp. in shelter cat population in Peninsular Malaysia by Alias, Nurul Najwa Ainaa

“…Feline bartonellosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Bartonella henselae which may result in either mild or severe bacteremia in asymptomatic cats. Severe human infections such as cat scratch disease (CSD), endocarditis, and ocular bartonellosis have been associated with infections due to Bartonella spp. including Bartonella henselae. …”

Interface energetics and dynamics in organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites by Goh, Teck Wee

“…Firstly, the interface energetics of FAPbI3-based perovskites with organic charge extraction layers showed apparent upward band bending, but its origin is unexpectedly due to presence of δ-FAPbI3. This finding implicates solar cell operation as it causes inefficient extraction of photoexcited electrons to the PCBM. …”
