Modelling the evolution of an ice sheet’s weathering crust by Woods, T, Hewitt, IJ

“…To understand this behaviour, we seek time-dependent solutions to a continuum, thermodynamic model for the porosity, temperature and thickness of the weathering crust, and the internal and surface melt rates. We find solutions using a numerical enthalpy method, presented in this study. …”

Dynamic consumer search by Parakhonyak, A, Rhodes, A

“…We consider a model in which consumers wish to buy a product repeatedly over time, but need to engage in costly search to learn prices and find a product that matches them well. The optimal search rule has two reservation values, one for newly-searched products, and another for products that were searched in the past. …”

How in-person conversations shape political polarization: quasi-experimental evidence from a nationwide initiative by Fang, X, Heuser, S, Stötzer, LS

“…We provide quasi-experimental evidence on the effects of in-person conversations on individual-level polarization outcomes, studying a large-scale intervention in Germany that matched pairs of strangers for private face-to-face meetings to discuss divisive political issues. We find asymmetric effects: conversations with like-minded individuals caused political views to become more extreme (ideological polarization); by contrast, conversations with contrary-minded individuals did not lead to a convergence of political views, but significantly reduced negative beliefs and attitudes toward ideological out-group members (affective polarization), while also improving perceived social cohesion more generally. …”

Public responses to foreign protectionism: evidence from the US-China trade war by Steinberg, DA, Tan, Y

“…We replicate this finding in parallel experiments on technology cooperation, and provide further external validation with a survey experiment in Argentina. …”

Renewables in GCC countries: the next frontier? by Haug, M

Supersymmetric Yang-Mills, spherical branes, and precision holography by Bobev, N, Bomans, P, Gautason, FF, Minahan, JA, Nedelin, A

“…The same calculation can also be performed in supergravity using the recently found spherical brane solutions. We find excellent agreement between the two sets of results. …”

A spatial panel wage curve for Spain by Ramos, R, Nicodemo, C, Sanromá, E

“…Opposite to previous studies, we find that the wage equation is highly autoregressive and that regional spillovers are relevant to explain the relationship between unemployment and wages in the Spanish provinces. © 2014 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.…”

Job search channels, neighborhood effects, and wages inequality in developing countries: the Colombian case by Nicodemo, C, Adolfo Garcia, G

“…This paper analyzes the relationship between social networks and the probability of finding a job. We explore geographic closeness as the social interaction to explain the job search function. …”

Do wars abroad affect attitudes at home? by Klymak, M, Vlandas, T

“…Our findings highlight the impact of foreign conflicts on a wide range of attitudes in countries that are externally threatened, but neither directly involved militarily, nor necessarily very close to the conflict. …”

Songket Tenun: Reka Bentuk dan Motif (S/O 14816) by Ismail, Adzrool Idzwan, Zainal Abidin, Ahmad Hisham, Abu Bakar, Juliana Aida, Zaibon, Syamsul Bahrin, Alwi, Asmidah

“…This study is using a qualitative method made through interviews to find out directly and indirectly related to the general views of the community from various walks of life about the situation or acceptance of traditional Kedah clothes in the current situation. …”

Gaussian process-based online health monitoring and fault analysis of lithium-ion battery systems from field data by Schaeffer, Joachim, Lenz, Eric, Gulla, Duncan, Bazant, Martin Z, Braatz, Richard D, Findeisen, Rolf

“…The fault analysis underlines that often, only a single cell shows abnormal behavior or a knee point, consistent with weakest-link failure for cells connected in series, amplified by local resistive heating. …”

An integrated dual voltage loop control for capacitance reduction in CHB-based regenerative motor drive systems by Yang, Zezhou, Sun, Jianjun, Tang, Yi, Huang, Meng, Zha, Xiaoming

“…The inherent second-harmonic ripple power in a cascaded H-bridge (CHB)-based motor drive system poses the demand of large capacitors in the dc link of each cell. In this paper, an active power decoupling method based on negative sequence current injection and its corresponding dual voltage closed-loop control are proposed to solve this problem without adding any extra components. …”
