Biocementation of fine-grained soil by Ong, Jun Hao

“…Gellan gum shows little to no improvement in both compaction and UC strength which is likely due to low dosage amount. The MICP treated soil shows a higher dry density after compaction and a higher UC strength of 1300 kPa to 1400 kPa in the dried state as well as compacted state. …”

Biomechanics of Muay Thai : science behind the low kick by Zeng, Ezra Yueyi

“…It was found that the lower the kick, the higher the kick force from the user and between the defined angles 120° to 240° about the projected vertical of the target’s leg is most likely to unbalance the target, assuming the target’s leg is rigid and the target is static while standing up.…”

Link me baby one more time: social music discovery on Spotify by Babul, SA, Hristova, D, Lima, A, Lambiotte, R, Beguerisse-Díaz, M

“…We find that the receiver of a link is more likely to engage with a new artist when (1) they have similar music taste to the sender and the shared track is a good fit for their taste, (2) they have a stronger and more intimate tie with the sender, and (3) the shared artist is popular amongst the receiver’s connections. …”

The evolution of signalling and monitoring in plant-fungal networks by Scott, T, Kiers, ET, West, SA

“…Indeed, selection is often more likely to push plant behavior in the opposite direction—with plants signaling dishonestly about an attack that has not occurred, or suppressing a cue that they have been attacked. …”

Up to no good? Gender, social impact work, and employee promotions by Bode, C, Rogan, M, Singh, J

“…Because social impact work is more congruent with female than male gender role stereotypes, promotion rates will be lower for participating men, and male evaluators will be less likely than female evaluators to recommend promotion for male participants. …”

Novel loci and biomedical consequences of iron homoeostasis variation by Allara, E, Bell, S, Smith, R, Keene, SJ, Gill, D, Gaziano, L, Morselli Gysi, D, Wang, F, Tragante, V, Mason, A, Karthikeyan, S, Lumbers, RT, Bonglack, E, Ouwehand, W, Roberts, DJ, Dowsett, J, Ostrowski, SR, Larsen, MH, Ullum, H, Pedersen, OB, Brunak, S, Banasik, K, Erikstrup, C, Mitchell, J

“…Our findings enhance understanding of iron homoeostasis and its biomedical consequences, suggesting that lifelong exposure to higher iron levels is likely associated with lower risk of anaemia-related disorders and higher risk of genitourinary, musculoskeletal, infectious and neoplastic diseases.…”

Myopathy-causing Q147P TPM2 mutation shifts tropomyosin strands further towards the open position and increases the proportion of strong-binding cross-bridges during the ATPase cyc... by Karpicheva, OE, Simonyan, AO, Kuleva, NV, Redwood, CS, Borovikov, YS

“…The mutant tropomyosin increases the proportion of the strong-binding myosin heads and disrupts the co-operation of actin and myosin heads during the ATPase cycle. These changes are likely to underlie the contractile abnormalities caused by this mutation.…”

Policies in parallel? A comparative study of journalistic AI policies in 52 global news organisations by Simon, FM, Becker, KB, Crum, C

“…Drawing from neoinstitutional theory and the concept of institutional isomorphism, we argue that the policies show signs of homogeneity, likely explained by isomorphic dynamics which arose as a response to the uncertainty created by the rise of generative AI after the release of ChatGPT in November 2022. …”

Cooperative field localization and excitation eigenmodes in disordered metamaterials by Papasimakis, Nikitas, Jenkins, Stewart D., Savo, Salvatore, Zheludev, Nikolay I., Ruostekoski, Janne

“…We find substantially increased standard deviation of the Purcell enhancement with disorder, making it increasingly likely to find collective excitation eigenmodes with very high Purcell factors that are also stronger for magnetic than electric excitations. …”

Alignment of rod-shaped single-photon emitters driven by line defects in liquid crystals by Pelliser, Laurent, Manceau, Mathieu, Lethiec, Clotilde, Coursault, Delphine, Vezzoli, Stefano, Leménager, Godefroy, Coolen, Laurent, DeVittorio, Massimo, Pisanello, Ferruccio, Carbone, Luigi, Maitre, Agnes, Bramati, Alberto, Lacaze, Emmanuelle

“…It is demonstrated that the electric dipoles associated with the dot-in-rods, tilted with respect to the rods, remain oriented in the plane including the smectic linear defects and perpendicular to the substrate, most likely due to dipole/dipole interactions between the dipoles of the liquid crystal molecules and those of the dot-in-rods. …”

Picosecond charge localization dynamics in CH₃NH₃PbI₃ perovskite probed by infrared-activated vibrations by Stallhofer, Klara, Nuber, Matthias, Cortecchia, Daniele, Bruno, Annalisa, Kienberger, Reinhard, Deschler, Felix, Soci, Cesare, Iglev, Hristo

“…A subpopulation of these can then fall into deeper trapped states over picoseconds, likely due to local reorganization of the organic molecules surrounding the carriers.…”

Incentives and impacts: dissecting individual and collective cheating in organizations by Riyanto, Yohanes Eko, Wang, Yuxin

“…They are honest when their deception cannot change the group's decision but more likely to cheat for a higher collective benefit. However, when their gain is tied only to their own actions, hiding their intent to cheat is futile, leading to consistent cheating behavior regardless of its impact on the group. …”
