Terahertz-optical intensity grating for creating high-charge, attosecond electron bunches by Lim, Jeremy, Chong, Yidong, Wong, Liang Jie

“…Currently, however, the shortest achievable bunches, at attosecond time scales, have only been realized in the single- or very few-electron regimes, limited by Coulomb repulsion and electron energy spread. …”

Electricity sector deregulation and consumer protection: assessing the imperatives of a competition: Assessing the imperatives of a competition law and competition regulatory autho... by Usman, Dahiru Jafaru, Yaacob, Nurli, A. Rahman, Aspalella

“…Literature abounds on the high risk of the electricity sector deregulation and the susceptibility of the deregulated electricity markets to manipulations and abuse by the electricity service providers.For better and fair market operations and the protection of consumers’ interest, the paper adopts the doctrinal research approach and assesses the imperatives of competition law and competition structures in the deregulated Nigerian electricity market.The paper found that the Nigerian experiment took off without the necessary consumer protection structures such as a competition law and competition regulatory agency leaving the electricity consumers at the mercy of the electricity service providers.The paper concludes that the country urgently needs a comprehensive competition regime to guarantee consumer benefits and to prevent substituting public monopoly with a private monopoly in the new Nigerian electricity market.…”

Quantifying Emissions and Costs of Geologic Hydrogen: An Integrated Lifecycle Emissions and Techno-economic Approach by Blackford, Timothy

“…It also studies the impact of the United States regime of production tax credits for hydrogen, finding that the fivefold increase in the magnitude of credits for meeting employment conditions is generally more impactful than lowering emissions intensity. …”

Predictors of weight loss in overweight Singaporean males in the Singapore Adult Metabolism Study (SAMS). by Tay, Yu Juan.

“…The intervention comprised of diet modification through meal replacements, group and individual nutritional education and counselling sessions, as well as prescribed and supervised exercise regime. After intervention, there was a significant reduction in mean body weight (-7.95 ± 3.45 kg), Skinfold fat composition (-3.24 ± 3.357 %) and DEXA fat composition (-2.93 ± 2.93 %). …”

Anomalous high-magnetic field electronic state of the nematic superconductors FeSe 1 − x S x by Bristow, M, Reiss, P, Haghighirad, A, Zajicek, Z, Singh, S, Wolf, T, Graf, D, Knafo, W, McCollam, A, Coldea, A

“…Near the nematic end point, we find an extended temperature regime with ∼ T 1.5 resistivity, different from the behavior found near an antiferromagnetic critical point. …”

The radial spreading of volcanic umbrella clouds deduced from satellite measurements by Prata, F, Prata, A, Tanner, R, Grainger, RG, Borgas, M, Aubry, TJ

“…At the onset of neutral buoyancy, the radial spreading is better explained by a stronger dependence on time of A ⇠ C, rather than C 2/3, C 3/4 or C 2/9. This flow regime exists on the order of minutes and has not been observed previously in satellite data. …”

Statistical theory of the broadband two-plasmon decay instability by Rusko, RT, Bingham, R, Silva, LO, Harper, M, Aboushelbaya, R, Myatt, JF, Norreys, PA

Kinetic subspace investigation using neural network for uncertainty quantification in nonpremixed flamelets by Koenig, Benjamin C, Ji, Weiqi, Deng, Sili

“…However, this one-dimensional assumption does not apply to all flamelet regimes. In the current work, we developed a systematic approach to discover low-dimensional active subspace reductions that apply to the entire mixture fraction space of the flamelet, and that function even in cases where the uncertainty response is not uniform across the entire solution domain and the one-dimensional assumption does not apply. …”

Privacy: a political approach by Bogue, RC

“…It can thus be shown that a commitment to democracy entails a commitment to certain privacy rights—a finding that circumvents the difficulty in establishing a common basis for privacy protections by appealing to all citizens who live under democratic regimes. In abandoning familiar understandings of privacy, the political approach to privacy does away with the problematic emphasis on consent, adapts privacy to an ever-changing surveillance environment, addresses prominent critiques of privacy rights, and provides a common basis of justification for future privacy legislation. …”
