Deliberation in the Russian state Duma: from a seat of discussion to a tool of autocracy, 1996-2021 by James, N

“…Why do legislators continue to engage in parliamentary floor activities under authoritarian regimes when policy decisions and voting outcomes are often predetermined before reaching the debate stage? …”

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. …”

Optimising statistical methodologies for estimating antimalarial efficacy for uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria by Dahal, P

“…For dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (DP) regimen, a study with 42 day follow-up was estimated to miss 47% [95% CI: 19 – 90%] of the treatment failures in those who were adequately dosed. …”

Spatio temporal traffic pediction for a large-scale road network by Krishnamoorthy, Nardana

Thermoplastic polymer nanocomposites based on polydopamine-coated clay : preparation, structures and properties by Phua, Si Lei

“…This strong interfacial interaction between D-clay and hard segments not only facilitates the stress transfer across the filler and polymer matrix, but also acts as nucleating agent for hard segment crystallization, leading to higher hard segment crystallinity. …”

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. …”

Audio watermarking by Ho, Shuet Mun, Ng, Ling Mei

“…This non-blind watermarking algorithm is based on both time and frequency base modulation. Segments of the file are compressed or expanded by adding or removing samples in the frequency domain. …”

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. …”

An interactive control architecture for interpersonal coordination in mirror game by Zhai, Chao, Chen, Michael Z. Q., Alderisio, Francesco, Yu. Uteshev, Alexei, Di Bernardo, Mario

“…In this work, an interactive control architecture based on velocity segments is developed to generate the human-like trajectories in the mirror game, a simple yet effective paradigm for studying interpersonal coordination, and the existence of velocity segments possessing a prescribed signature is theoretically guaranteed. …”

Self-similar sketch by Vedaldi, A, Zisserman, A

“…The resulting collection of segments constitutes a "sketch" of the image. This is applied to the task of estimating vanishing points, horizon, and zenith in standard benchmark data, obtaining state-of-the-art results. …”

The Enggano-Dutch word list derived from Helfrich's (1916) “Nadere Bijdrage Tot de Kennis van Het Engganeesch” by Rajeg, GPW

“…This version (0.1.1) now includes the word list in a tab-separated file (.tsv) that has the following features (in the columns): (a) common/standardised transcription, also in segmented format (Columns form_common_transcription and form_common_segments); (b) phonemic transcription in segmented format (Column form_ipa_segments); (c) Indonesian translation of the English gloss using the deeplr R package (Column indonesian). …”

Effects of individual research practices on fNIRS signal quality and latent characteristics by Bizzego, Andrea, Carollo, Alessandro, Lim, Mengyu, Esposito, Gianluca

Experimental study on sediment clump by Yang, Yang

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. …”

Characterization of artemisinin resistance in plasmodium falciparum by Rocamora, Frances Maureen C.

“…In order to better understand the Artemisinin resistance phenotype, we developed Artemisinin-resistant parasite lines derived from two isogenic clones (6A and 11C) of the 3D7 strain of Plasmodium falciparum using a selection regimen that mimics how parasites interact with the drug in infected patients. …”
