Spillovers across industries and regions in China’s regional economic diversification by Gao, Jian, Jun, Bogang, Pentland, Alex, Zhou, Tao, Hidalgo, César A.

“…We add to the literature by showing that these two channels behave as substitutes when explaining new entries and exits, and by using acceleration campaigns of high-speed rail to address some endogeneity concerns with regional spillovers. Our findings confirm the role of relatedness and geographical distance in the diffusion of economic capabilities and support the idea that improvements in transportation can facilitate the diffusion of productive capabilities.…”

Floquet stroboscopic divisibility in non-Markovian dynamics by Bastidas, Victor M., Kyaw, Thi Ha, Tangpanitanon, Jirawat, Romero, Guillermo, Kwek, Leong-Chuan, Angelakis, Dimitris G.

“…We illustrate the theory by considering a harmonic oscillator coupled to both non-Markovian and Markovian baths. Our findings provide us with a theory for the exact calculation of spectral properties of time-local non-Markovian Liouvillian operators, and might shed light on the nature and existence of the steady state in non-Markovian dynamics.…”

Intermittent actuation attenuates fibrotic behaviour of myofibroblasts by Ward, Niamh A., Hanley, Shirley, Tarpey, Ruth, Schreiber, Lucien H.J., O'Dwyer, Joanne, Roche, Ellen T., Duffy, Garry P., Dolan, Eimear B.

“…Here, we investigate how IA can alter the activity of myofibroblast cells, and ultimately suggest that there is a mechanical loading threshold within which their fibrotic behaviour can be modulated. These findings can be harnessed to improve functional outcomes for a wide range of medical implants, particularly drug delivery and cell encapsulation devices.…”
