Can the war on Iraq bring democracy to the Middle East? by Bouchaib Silm.

“…The war on Iraq was based on insufficient documents that failed to provide legitimization to the war, and also sought to criminalize Saddam's regime. As a result, the idea of a democratic Middle East is facing criticism. …”

In Vivo RNA Delivery to Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells via Targeted Lipid Nanoparticles by Shi, Dennis, Toyonaga, Sho, Anderson, Daniel G

“…However, these therapies have several limitations owing to the manufacturing complexities and toxicity resulting from required conditioning regimens. Here, we developed a c-kit (CD117) antibody-targeted lipid nanoparticle (LNP) that, following a single intravenous injection, can deliver RNA (both siRNA and mRNA) to HSCs in vivo in rodents. …”

Behind every domain there is a shift: adapting distortion-aware vision transformers for panoramic semantic segmentation by Zhang, J, Yang, K, Shi, H, ReiB, S, Peng, K, Ma, C, Fu, H, Torr, PHS, Wang, K, Stiefelhagen, R

“…Extensive experiments are conducted, which cover indoor and outdoor scenarios, and each of them is investigated with Pin2Pan and Syn2Real regimens. Trans4PASS+ achieves state-of-the-art performances on four domain adaptive panoramic semantic segmentation benchmarks. …”

Knowledge and practice regarding medication use among elderly with chronic diseases in Felda Tembangau 2, Kemayan, Pahang by Farid, Aina Natasha Mohd

“…The elderly population, defined as those aged 60 and above, faces unique challenges in managing chronic diseases due to physiological changes, limited access to healthcare information, and barriers in understanding and adhering to medication regimens. The aim of this study was to determine the levels of knowledge and practice regarding medication use among elderly with chronic diseases in FELDA Tembangau 2, Kemayan, Pahang and to explore the correlation between these two variables. …”

Effects of resonant tunneling and dynamics of coherent interaction on intrinsic linewidth of quantum cascade lasers by Liu, Tao, Lee, Kenneth E., Wang, Qi Jie

“…Results show that the coupling strength and the dephasing rate associated with resonant tunneling strongly affect the linewidth of THz QCLs in the incoherent resonant-tunneling transport regime but only induce little influence in the coherent regime. …”

Delocalized Davydov D1 Ansatz for the Holstein polaron by Sun, Jin, Duan, Liwei, Zhao, Yang

“…The delocalized D1 Ansatz lowers the ground-state energies at the Brillouin zone boundary significantly compared with the Toyozawa and Global-Local Ansätze in the weak coupling regime, while considerable improvement is demonstrated to have been achieved over the entire Brillouin zone in the strong coupling regime. …”

Effect of strong electric fields on material responses : the Bloch oscillation resonance in high field conductivities by Singh, Satyvir, Battiato, Marco

“…We then extend the method to strong electric fields and show how the responses are deviated from the low-field ones and the transition to a dampened Bloch oscillation regime. Most importantly, we report the observation of a new regime induced by the resonance between the standard low-field response and Bloch oscillations.…”
