Accuracy of second order perturbation theory in the polaron and variational polaron frames by Lee, Chee Kong, Moix, Jeremy, Cao, Jianshu

“…In the study of open quantum systems, the polaron transformation has recently attracted a renewed interest as it offers the possibility to explore the strong system-bath coupling regime. Despite this interest, a clear and unambiguous analysis of the regimes of validity of the polaron transformation is still lacking. …”

Aquatic and benthic bacteria responses to feed and fertiliser application in trials with the freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii (de Man) by MacLean, M.H., Ang, K.J., Brown, J.H., Jauncey, K.

“…Total bacterial abundance, mean cell volume and biomass, determined respectively by epifluorescence microscopy, image analysis and conversion calculation, illustrated the effect of treatment on the water and sediment bacterial populations. Differences in bacterial abundance and mean cell size were evident between treatments. …”

A review of offshore decommissioning regulations in five countries – strengths and weaknesses by Fam, Mei Ling, Konovessis, Dimitris, Tan, Hoon Kiang, Ong, Lin Seng

“…Major differences lie in two overarching philosophies of the framework - a prescriptive regime versus a goal-setting regime. Other decommissioning aspects appear to attract increasing attention, such as in expanding clarity on in situ decommissioning, residual liabilities, optimising finance related issues of decommissioning and offshore to onshore waste movement. …”

Orbital stability in a classical pilot-wave system by Liu, Nicholas Z.

“…We conduct an analytical investigation into the stability of circular orbits using a generalised theoretical framework that allows for an exploration of classical pilotwave dynamics both inside and outside the experimentally accessible parameter regime. The exploration of parameter regimes beyond those accessible with the hydrodynamic system reveals much richer orbital dynamics. …”

Tectono-stratigraphic evolution of the foreland fold-and-thrust belt of the United Arab Emirates by Abdelmaksoud, A, Ali, MY, Searle, MP

“…Two different tectonic regimes are identified in the FTB. The northern regime is characterized by major inversion of the rift faults with up to 3,700 m throw, whereas the southern regime has a major pop-up structure with possible basement origin. …”

The four worlds of ‘welfare reality’ – social risks and outcomes in Europe by Ferragina, E, Seeleib-Kaiser, M, Spreckelsen, T

“…After three decades of welfare state crisis, change and transformation can we still speak of welfare state regimes when looking at their outcomes?

Settling velocity of a porous object by Cheryl Lim Ling

“…One such model is Brinkman’s extension of Darcy’s Law (Neale, Epstein, & Nader, 1973), which has been proven effective for modelling the sedimentation of porous objects. However, it is only applicable in the limiting case of the creeping flow region, where Reynolds number is less than unity. …”
