Prediction and prevention of disproportionally dominant agents in complex networks by Lera, Sandro Claudio, Pentland, Alex, Sornette, Didier

“…We derive an exact four-dimensional phase diagram that separates the growing system into two regimes: one where the “fit get richer” and one where, eventually, the WTA. …”

Bacteria and archaea on Earth and their abundance in biofilms by Flemming, Hans-Curt, Wuertz, Stefan

“…Most bacteria and archaea on Earth (1.2 × 10³⁰ cells) exist in the 'big five' habitats: deep oceanic subsurface (4 × 10²⁹), upper oceanic sediment (5 × 10²⁸), deep continental subsurface (3 × 10²⁹), soil (3 × 10²⁹) and oceans (1 × 10²⁹). …”

Stratigraphy and taphonomy of tubular microfossils in Terreneuvian rocks of the Soltanieh Formation, Soltanieh Mountains, Northern Iran by Etemad-Saeed, N, Anderson, RP, Tosca, NJ, Bergmann, KD, Knoll, AH

“…X-ray diffraction and SEM-EDS reveal that Soltanieh tubes were largely infilled by variable mixes of pyrite framboids (and their oxidation products), silica, and clay minerals. In contrast, the sediment matrix is dominated by K-Al-silicate with lesser amounts of an Al-oxide/(oxy)hydroxide phase. …”

A Framework for Robust Long-Term Voltage Stability of Distribution Systems by Nguyen, Hung D., Dvijotham, Krishnamurthy, Yu, Suhyoun, Turitsyn, Konstantin

“…IEEE Power injection uncertainties in distribution power grids, which are mostly induced by aggressive introduction of intermittent renewable sources, may drive the system away from normal operating regimes and potentially lead to the loss of long-term voltage stability (LTVS). …”

离散、家国、女性 ： 韩素音的中国性论述 = Diaspora, home, feminism : the Chinese-ness in Han Suyin’s works by 梁依婷 Neo, Yi Ting

“…Han Suyin had once faced difficult choices in politics and livelihood, however she eventually chose to become the connection between different countries and willingly support the Chinese regimental changes. Her acknowledgement towards China and her awkward identity as a Chinese-European, is an interesting yet complicated case within China’s history, society and literature, and is of meaningful research value. …”

Mass transfer studies in shallow bubble column reactors by Lau, Raymond, Lee, Pei Hui Venus, Chen, Tao

“…It is also found that the different dependence of the liquid-side mass transfer coefficient on the superficial gas velocity observed in the literatures is due to the different bubble rising regimes.…”

An experimental investigation on finite wings with leading-edge protuberances by Teo, Marcus Jun Jie

“…Fluid flow characteristics of wings with leading edge tubercles were experimentally investigated in a water tunnel at a Reynolds number of 13292, falling under the transitional Reynolds regime. This experiment is meant to be continuation of a pre-existing experimental study examining fluid flow characteristics of wings but with differing dimensions. …”

Replacement of Artemia with Moina micrura in the rearing of freshwater shrimp larvae by Alam, M. J., Ang, K. J., Begum, M.

“…The control treatment consisted of feeding Artemia throughout the rearing period (regime A), while in the other treatments the onset of Moina feeding was arbitrarily chosen at larval stages iv (A3M), vi (A5M), viii (A7M) and x (A9M). …”

Exponential tail local Rademacher complexity risk bounds without the Bernstein condition by Kanade, V, Rebeschini, P, Vaškevičius, T

“…Our results apply to improper prediction regimes not directly covered by the classical theory, such as optimal model selection aggregation for arbitrary classes (including infinite and non-convex classes), and early-stopping/iterative regularization; the Bernstein condition does not hold in both examples.…”

Relational persistent homology for multispecies data with application to the tumor microenvironment by Stolz, BJ, Dhesi, J, Bull, JA, Harrington, HA, Byrne, HM, Yoon, IHR

“…We demonstrate that relational topological features can extract biological insight, including the dominant immune cell phenotype (an important predictor of patient prognosis) and the parameter regimes of a data-generating model. The methods provide a quantitative perspective on the relational analysis of multispecies spatial data, overcome the limits of traditional PH, and are readily computable.…”

Evaluation of subconjunctival liposomal steroids for the treatment of experimental uveitis by Wong, Chee Wai, Czarny, Bertrand, Metselaar, Josbert M., Ho, Candice, Ng, Si Rui, Barathi, Amutha Veluchamy, Storm, Gert, Wong, Tina T.

“…The current gold standard for treatment is topical steroids, but low ocular bioavailability and compliance issues with the intensive dosing regimen limit the efficacy of this treatment. Liposomes as a drug delivery system may help to overcome these problems. …”

Repurposing nitroxoline to address antibiotic resistance in the production of poultry for consumption by Zhou, Y

“…<em>In-vivo</em> evaluation (Chapter 5) established an optimal dosage regimen (100 mg/kg of NTX in feed) for treating <em>Salmonella</em> infections in poultry without promoting the development of resistance. …”

Cytisine versus varenicline for smoking cessation in a primary care setting: a randomized non-inferiority trial by Oreskovic, T, Percac-Lima, S, Ashburner, JM, Tiljak, H, Rifel, J, Klemenc Ketiš, Z, Oreskovic, S

“…Given the much lower cost of cytisine treatment, its lower rate of adverse events, and higher feasibility (but its likely lower effectiveness with the standard dosage regimen), future analyses should assess the cost-effectiveness of the two treatments for health policy considerations.…”

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. …”

Marital instability in the context of dramatic societal change : the case of Kyrgyzstan by Dommaraju, Premchand, Agadjanian, Victor

“…Using detailed and rich data from Kyrgyzstan, the study investigates trends over time in marital instability in response to societal upheavals and gradual secular transformations; ethnic group-specific responses in marital instability; and the role of changing gender regimes in marital instability. The findings reveal an increase in the rate of marital dissolution over time. …”

Urban site characterization using DAS dark fibers on the MIT campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts by Chang, Hilary, Nakata, Nori

“…The 1D site-response modeling for shear waves suggests that the fundamental resonance frequency is at 0.6 and 1 Hz, with a sediment-to-bedrock amplitude ratio of 6–7. This should be considered in building design to mitigate seismic hazards. …”

Data analysis of local scour around abutment in compound channel by Zhang, Ruixin

“…This model was built using the relative abutment length (L/yf), abutment aspect ratio (Lc/L), flow intensity (uf/uc), abutment shape factor (Ks), flow depth ratio (yf/ym), and relative sediment size (d50/ yf). Overall, comparisons of calculated and observed maximum equilibrium scour depths indicate that the formula is straightforward in composition and shows good credibility in the computation result.…”
