RoughPy: streaming data is rarely smooth by Morley, S, Lyons, T

“…Rough path theory is a branch of mathematics arising out of stochastic analysis. One of the main tools of rough path analysis is the signature, which captures the evolution of an unparametrised path including the order in which events occur. …”

'A poem in leaden hexameters': on rehabilitating Dorotheus’ Carmen Astrologicum by Lightfoot, JL

“…Our main evidence for the lost five-book astrological poem of Dorotheus of Sidon is an Arabic translation by David Pingree, but examination of the Greek fragments reveals essential aspects of the poem over and above its informational content. …”

How do judges judge racialized economic impact? by Atrey, S

“…It aims to identify the standards that are applied in judicial reasoning and the results that follow in terms of addressing racial discrimination and in particular indirect discrimination which has a disproportionate impact on racialised groups. The main hypothesis is that while, as Arden LJ confirmed in Elias that economic matters are justiciable, and that racial discrimination attracts a high level of judicial scrutiny, curiously, together, when it comes to judging racialised economic impact, the standard of scrutiny wanes. …”

Global solutions of the one-dimensional compressible Euler equations with nonlocal interactions via the inviscid limit by Carrillo, JA, Chen, G-QG, Yuan, D, Zatorska, E

“…This is achieved by constructing a sequence of solutions of the one-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes-type equations with density-dependent viscosity under the stress-free boundary condition and then taking the vanishing viscosity limit. The main difficulties in this paper arise from the appearance of the nonlocal terms. …”

Surface engineering to manipulate solar energy for thermal management by Fei, Jipeng

“…However, we found that the radiative cooling capability of the designed hierarchical porous membrane is not as obvious as reported by researchers from other countries (Mainly US and China). Thus, we theoretically investigated the radiative cooling criteria in Singapore, complemented by experimental verification. …”

Structural integrity assessment of rail steel failure modes and mechanism by Liu, Yang

“…Rail steels are susceptible to fatigue failures resulting in rail breaks that can lead to unplanned downtime and safety concerns in railway operations. The main concern of the structural integrity in the rail track system is rail breaks resulting from fatigue failures of continuously welded rail structures, particularly, the thermite welded rail joints. …”

Unveiling the facade of blog posts to reveal subjective well-being : an exploratory study. by Ou, Zhiqi., Tan, Justine Yi Ting., Tan, Jessie Zi Xi.

“…In this exploratory study to form a bridge between existing methods to gauge the well-being of people and the usage of social media as a data source, we find that there are substantial links between the subjective and objective well-being of people and the feelings expressed by people in blogs. Our two main findings demonstrate that eight out of 11 of the regressions involving the objective ranking as the main independent variable show the objective ranking having the correct expected sign at at least the 10% significance level. …”

Spin-ice physics and phase transitions in cadmium cyanide by Coates, CS

“…Ice-rules-obeying states are characterised by an absence of long range order, leading to a manifold of degenerate ground states, extensive residual entropy and exotic excitations; in spin-ices, these excitations correspond to topological defects in the form of effective magnetic monopoles. The main barrier to experimentation and application of these topological defects is the extremely low temperatures (~ 1 K) at which the spin-ice correlations develop. …”
