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. …”

Simultaneous binding of hybrid molecules constructed with dual DNA-binding components to a G-quadruplex and its proximal duplex by Asamitsu, Sefan, Obata, Shunsuke, Phan, Anh Tuân, Hashiya, Kaori, Bando, Toshikazu, Sugiyama, Hiroshi

“…By means of circular dichroism (CD), fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), surface plasmon resonance (SPR), and NMR techniques, we showed the dual and simultaneous recognition of the respective segment via hybrid molecules, and the synergistic and mutual effect of each binding component that was appropriately linked on higher binding affinity and modest sequence specificity. …”

Rotation Inside Convex Kakeya Sets by Janzer, B

“…We also show that in three dimensions the answer is negative, even for the case when S is a line segment – but that in any dimension the first question has a positive answer when S is a line segment. …”

History dependence of the microstructure on time-dependent deformation during in-situ cooling of a nickel-based single-crystal superalloy by Panwisawas, Chinnapat, D’Souza, Neil, Collins, David M., Bhowmik, Ayan, Roebuck, Bryan

“…Time-dependent plastic deformation through stress relaxation and creep deformation during in-situ cooling of the as-cast single-crystal superalloy CMSX-4® has been studied via neutron diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, electro-thermal miniature testing, and analytical modeling across two temperature regimes. Between 1000 °C and 900 °C, stress relaxation prevails and gives rise to softening as evidenced by a decreased dislocation density and the presence of long segment stacking faults in γ phase. …”

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). …”

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. …”

Maxwell-type models for the effective thermal conductivity of a porous material with radiative transfer in the voids by Kiradjiev, KB, Halvorsen, SA, Van Gorder, RA, Howison, SD

“…In the high-temperature regime, radiative transfer within voids strongly influences the thermal conductivity of the bulk material. …”

Dynamic properties of high-Tc superconducting nano-junctions made with a focused helium ion beam by Couëdo, François, Amari, Paul, Feuillet-Palma, Cheryl, Ulysse, Christian, Srivastava, Yogesh Kumar, Singh, Ranjan, Bergeal, Nicolas, Lesueur, Jérôme

“…At lower temperature and for the highest He irradiation dose, the shot noise contribution must also be taken into account when approaching the tunneling regime. We conclude that these Josephson nano-junctions present the lowest noise level possible, which makes them very promising for future applications in the microwave and terahertz regimes.…”

Is social media really that effective for communicating budget policies to citizens? – a case study of the Singapore budget 2018 by Chin, Zhao Wei

“…Citizen feedback is collected using an online public survey, of which demographical factors such as age, educational qualifications and employment status were cross-tabulated and suggest that social media avenues such as Facebook may not be the best way to communicate budget policy to certain segments of the population. Moreover, there is a risk of investing too much focus on social media, such that other segments of the population may be neglected. …”
