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

“…The methods allow us to calculate local field and Purcell factor enhancement arising from the collective electric and magnetic excitations. 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. …”

Superstition and financial decision making by Hirshleifer, David, Jian, Ming, Zhang, Huai

“…We test how such numerological superstition affects financial decision in the China initial public offering (IPO) market. We find that the frequency of lucky numerical stock listing codes exceeds what would be expected by chance. …”

The potential mechanisms of tissue flossing with Flossband application around the joints or soft tissues: A theoretical framework by Gao, Jianhong, Thung, Jin Seng, Chee, Chen Soon, Tee, Chris Chow Li, Tengku Kamalden, Tengku Fadilah, Samsudin, Shamsulariffin, Mohd Ali, Azril Syazwan

“…The primary speculated mechanisms, “Pain Gate”, “Fascia Glide”, “Sponge Effect”, “Soft Tissue Ischemia”, and “Joint Effect” were proposed to illustrate how Flossband application works on soft tissues or joints to reduce pain, release fascia tension, improve muscle flexibility, decrease inflammation, and enhance muscle activation. …”

Wearable bio-adhesive metal detector array (BioMDA) for spinal implants

“…Accordingly, herein, we report on the development and engineering of a bio-adhesive metal detector array (BioMDA), a potential wearable solution for real-time, non-invasive positional analyses of osseous implants within the spine. The electromagnetic coupling mechanism and intimate interfacial adhesion enable the precise sensing of the metallic implants position without the use of radiation. …”

Deep learning approach to cervical segmentation from routine CT images by Duan, Yiming

“…To address the sequential and location-dependent nature of bone segmen tation information, the dissertation proposes a pre-training model for location information, and combines 2.5D image input and labeled multi-channel coding to semantically segment 3D cervical spine CT images. This method can accu rately extract the information of bone joint location of slices and incorporate it into image features in the form of channels, which can improve the accuracy of multiple bone joint segmentation and classification. …”

Interns or workers? China's student labor regime by Chan, J, Pun, N, Selden, M

“…Based on fieldwork in Sichuan and Guangdong between 2011 and 2012 and follow-up interviews in 2014, as well as analysis of the Henan government's policies on internships, we find that the student labor regime has become integral to the capital-state relationship as a means to assure a lower cost and flexible labor supply for Foxconn and others. …”

Dynamical blockade in a single-mode bosonic system by Ghosh, Sanjib, Liew, Timothy Chi Hin

“…We introduce a dynamical blockade phenomenon occurring in a nonlinear bosonic mode induced by a combination of continuous and pulsed excitations. We find that the underlying mechanism for the blockade is general, enhancing antibunching in the strongly nonlinear regime and inducing it in the weakly nonlinear regime, without fine-tuning the system parameters. …”
