Frontier rule and conflict by Malik, M, Mirza, RA, Rehman, FU

“…Using the arbitrarily defined historical border between frontier and non-frontier regions in northwestern Pakistan and 10km-by-10km grid-level conflict data in a spatial regression discontinuity design, we find that areas historically under frontier rule experienced significantly higher violence against the state after 9/11. …”

The London money market and non-British bank lending during the first globalisation: evidence from Brazil by Kisling, W, Molteni, M

“…Using monthly data between 1889 and 1913, we find a positive relationship between the amount of credit authorised by the German Brasilianische Bank für Deutschland in Brazil and the spread between the London market and floating rate. …”

Toxic speech and limited demand for content moderation on social media by Pradel, F, Zilinsky, J, Kosmidis, S, Theocharis, Y

“…We present results from two studies with pre-registered randomized experiments (Study 1, N = 5,130; Study 2, N = 3,734) to examine how these variants causally affect users’ content moderation preferences. We find that while both the severity of toxicity and the target of the attack matter, the demand for content moderation of toxic speech is limited. …”

Allee effects: empirical analyses of wild British butterfly populations and theoretical implications for population synchrony by Dooley, C

“…In chapter 2 I investigate the spatial variation in influential density-dependent processes and density-independent weather factors for the large skipper butterfly <em>Ochlodes sylvanus</em> across its British range. I find both qualitative and quantitative spatial variation in these processes and factors driving population dynamics. …”

Employment dynamics in a rapid decarbonization of the US power sector by Bücker, J, del Rio-Chanona, RM, Pichler, A, Ives, MC, Farmer, JD

“…However, without proper planning, rapidly growing industries will struggle to find skilled labor during the scale-up phase, while displaced workers might struggle finding jobs during the scale-down phase. …”

Rapid modulation of striatal cholinergic interneurons and dopamine release by satellite astrocytes by Stedehouder, J, Roberts, B, Raina, S, Bossi, S, Liu, AKA, Doig, N, McGerty, K, Magill, P, Parkkinen, L, Cragg, S

“…These findings reveal a privileged satellite astrocyte-interneuron interaction for striatal ChIs operating on subsecond timescales via regulation of extracellular calcium dynamics to shape downstream striatal circuit activity and dopamine signaling. …”

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. …”

Bubble instability of mIIA on AdS4 x S6 by Bomans, P, Cassani, D, Dibitetto, G, Petri, N

“…Motivated by these results, we study possible bubbling solutions connected to the G2 vacuum, representing non-perturbative instabilities of the latter. We indeed find an instability channel represented by the nucleation of a bubble of nothing dressed up with a homogeneous D2 brane charge distribution in the internal space. …”

Competition policy and the labour share by Zac, A, Casti, C, Decker, C, Ezrachi, A

“…Using a panel of 22 industries in 12 OECD economies, we find a positive statistical association between the effectiveness of competition policy and changes in the labor share over the period 1995–2005. …”

Structure and dynamics of magnetic domain walls in multi-sublattice magnetic oxides by Huang, Siying

“…We investigated the DW depinning dynamics in Pt/BiYIG thin film, presenting a phase diagram of this pinning event, which proves the crucial role of minimizing the pinning effect in achieving fast DW velocity. …”

Mach 3.5 Compression Corner Control Using Microvortex Generators by Gochenaur, Daniel C., Williams, Rhys D., Sabnis, Kshitij, Babinsky, Holger

“…Micro-ramp, standard ramped-vane, and inverted ramped-vane VGs all cause the separation line to ripple and become more three-dimensional, but none eliminate it altogether. …”

Autoimmune encephalitis by Irani, SR

“…In turn, these clinical features in combination with serologic findings and selective paraclinical testing, direct the rationale for the administration of immunotherapies. …”

PRMT5 controls the innate immune response by Zhang, C

“…We hypothesised that PRMT5 inhibition could increase retained introns (RIs) in the colorectal cancer cell line HCT116, leading to the production of immunogenic double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs). …”

Corrugation and Squat Classification and Detection with VGG16 and YOLOv5 Neural Network Models by Mohd Yazed, Muhammad Syukri, Mohd Yunus, Mohd Amin, Ahmad Shaubari, Ezak Fadzrin, Abdul Hamid, Nor Aziati, Amzah, Azmale, Md Ali, Zulhelmi

“…Future studies can expand on these findings by exploring the extension of the proposed techniques to address other types of rail defects. …”

Search in location based social network by Lew, Stephanie Yin Hui.

“…A custom ranking score incorporating distance, textual relevancy and popularity of a location was designed in the process, to score and find top-k spatial objects. Four indexing schemes that could be used for the local spatial querying were discussed in the report. …”

Solvability Regions of Affinely Parameterized Quadratic Equations by Dvijotham, Krishnamurthy, Nguyen, Hung, Turitsyn, Konstantin

“…The quadratic systems in infrastructure networks are parameterized- the parameters can represent uncertainty (estimation error in resistance/inductance of a power transmission line, for example)or controllable decision variables (power outputs of generators,for example). …”
