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? The analysis of outcomes provides a picture of ‘the real worlds of welfare’ and is of considerable importance to understanding political legitimacy across countries. …”

Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking in a Polariton and Photon Laser by Ohadi, H., Kammann, E., Liew, Timothy Chi Hin, Lagoudakis, K. G., Kavokin, A. V., Lagoudakis, P. G.

“…We report on the simultaneous observation of spontaneous symmetry breaking and long-range spatial coherence both in the strong- and the weak-coupling regime in a semiconductor microcavity. Under pulsed excitation, the formation of a stochastic order parameter is observed in polariton and photon lasing regimes. …”

From mechanisms to future therapy: a synopsis of isolated REM sleep behavior disorder as early synuclein-related disease by Stefani, A, Antelmi, E, Arnaldi, D, Arnulf, I, During, E, Högl, B, Hu, MMT, Iranzo, A, Luke, R, Peever, J, Postuma, RB, Videnovic, A, Gan-Or, Z

“…RBD pathophysiology is not fully clarified yet, but clinical and basic science suggest that ɑ-syn pathology begins in the lower brainstem where REM atonia circuits are located, including the sublaterodorsal tegmental/subcoeruleus nucleus and the ventral medulla, then propagates rostrally to brain regions such as the substantia nigra, limbic system, cortex. …”

Determining targets for antiretroviral drug concentrations: a causal framework illustrated with pediatric efavirenz data from the CHAPAS-3 trial by Schomaker, M, Denti, P, Bienczak, A, Burger, D, Díaz, I, Gibb, DM, Walker, AS, McIlleron, H

“…<p><strong>Background:&nbsp;</strong>Determining a therapeutic window for maintaining antiretroviral drug concentrations within an appropriate range is required for identifying effective dosing regimens. The limits of this window are typically calculated using predictive models. …”

Speech enhancement using auditory-based spectral amplitude estimators by Sekar Sathiya Narayanan.

“…The proposed estimator is applied to the noisy speech signal to obtain the enhanced speech signal and the objective measures of speech quality such as the segmental SNR (SNRseg) and the log-likelihood-ratio (LLR) are obtained. …”

Forces on oscillating uniform and tapered cylinders in a crossflow by Hover, F. S., Techet, A. H., Triantafyllou, M.S.

“…Calculation of the cross-correlation coefficient between forces at the two ends of the uniform cylinder reveals five distinct regimes as a function of the nominal reduced velocity Vrn: two regimes, for low and high values of Vrn, and far away from the value of VrS corresponding to the Strouhal frequency, show small correlation; two regimes immediately adjacent to, but excluding, VrS show strong correlation, close to 1; surprisingly, there is a regime containing the Strouhal frequency, within which correlation is low. …”

Criteria for Crack Formation and Air Invasion in Drying Colloidal Suspensions by Lilin, Paul, Bischofberger, Irmgard

“…We show that the pressure inside the deposit controls both the onset of crack formation and the onset of air invasion. Two distinct regimes of air invasion occur, which we can account for using the same model that further provides a quantitative criterion for the crossover between the two regimes.…”

A comparative analysis of missing data imputation techniques on sedimentation data by Loh, Wing Son, Ling, Lloyd, Chin, Ren Jie, Lai, Sai Hin, Loo, Kar Kuan, Seah, Choon Sen

“…A comparative analysis on the missing fine sediment data imputation performance was made based on four different techniques, namely the k-Nearest Neighbourhood (k-NN), Support Vector Regression (SVR), Multiple Regression (MR), and Artificial Neural Network (ANN), under the single imputation (SI) and multiple imputation (MI) regimes. Across different missing data proportions (10%-50%), the ANN demonstrated optimal results with consistent performance metrics recorded over both SI and MI regimes. …”

Treatment options to support the elimination of Hepatitis C: an open label, factorial randomised controlled trial by Cooke, G, Le Manh, H, Flower, B, McCabe, L, Vu Thu Kim, H, Vo Thi, T, Dang Trong, T, Nguyen Thanh, D, Le Thanh, P, Dao Bach, K, Nguyen Thi Chau, A, Pham Ngoc, T, Vu Thu Thu, H, Dang Thi, B, Nguyen Kim, T, Ansari, A, Le Ngoc, C, Vo Minh, Q, Nguyen Thi Ngoc, P, Le Thi, T, Nguyen Bao, T, Kestelyn, E, Kingsley, C, Van Doorn, R, Rahman, M, Pett, S, Thwaites, G, Barnes, E, Day, J, Nguyen Van Vinh, C, Walker, AS

“…No randomised trials have compared these regimens and high cure rates may be achievable with shorter durations of therapy.…”

Dynamic friction model for tendon-sheath actuated surgical robots : modelling and stability analysis by Tjahjowidodo, Tegoeh, Lau, Michael Wai Shing, Phee, Soo Jay, Do, T. N.

“…In addition, transition between two regimes is guaranteed to be smooth without using any switching functions and it permits an arbitrary configuration of sheath, i.e. helical and spatial shape. …”

Structure of mushy layers grown from perfectly and imperfectly conducting boundaries. Part 1. Diffusive solidification by Hitchen, JR, Wells, AJ

“…For an isothermal boundary we characterise different growth regimes depending on a concentration ratio, which can also be viewed as characterising the ratio of composition-dependent freezing point depression versus the temperature difference across the mushy layer. …”
