Microfluidic studies on flow manipulation to assist metastasis research by Tran, Duc Quang

“…Our findings demonstrate that the cellular aggregate behaves under the interstitial flow following two regimes: poroelasticity and solid plasticity, which are separated at a transient point, corresponding to fracture happened inside the cellular aggregate. …”

The road to federalism : finding the middle ground in Nepal, Myanmar and Sri Lanka by Breen, Michael Gerard

“…In particular, when the secession risk is moderate, and when minority ethnic groups have a demonstrable infrastructural capacity, there are incentives for regime change agents from the dominant ethnic group to align with minority ethnic groups to pursue mutual goals of federalism and democratic reform. …”

Inter-organizational competition in humanitarian governance by Corsini, C

“…<p>In a world where humanitarian crises are increasing in severity and frequency, the humanitarian system is often described as a ‘competitive marketplace,’ an international regime densely populated by diverse actors – UN organizations, the Red Cross/Red Crescent Movement, international and local non-governmental organizations (NGOs), private entities, governments, and civil society – all vying for scarce resources from a limited pool of fatigued donors (Weiss 2013). …”

Next generation design of floating systems for coastal solar farms by Bi, Cheng

“…In the single-barrier-platform system, the barrier is installed in front of the platform, and significant reduction in platform displacement can be achieved when the barrier is in the membrane-like hydroelastic regime with relatively high rigidity and has a penetration more than 40% of water depth. …”

100 THz optical switching with plasmonic metamaterial by Venkatram, Nalla, Stefano, Vezzol, João, Valente, Sun, Handong, Nikolay, Zheludev

“…Finally we evaluate the effect of non linearities, showing that the best coherent modulation is obtained in a very low power regime. We also evaluate the wavelength dependent coherent modulation; maximum modulation is at plasmonic peak.…”

Uncertainty & robustness for single-cell studies by Shiffman, Miriam

“…At the same time, these technologies present particular statistical and computational challenges, including noise, sparsity, technical and biological variability, and multilevel sampling regimes. To distill relevant signal from biological phenomena, then, analyses must combine information in a careful and coherent way across cells. …”

Understanding Drivers of Deforestation using Games on Spatial Networks by Seby, Jean-Baptiste

“…Interestingly, we identify a regime shift (or phase transition) as the local network effect and level of coupling between activities vary. …”

Beyond Color: Lattice Gauge Theory for Strongly-Coupled Physics by Oare, Patrick R.

“…Despite this, it remains difficult to compute QCD observables because QCD is strongly-coupled, and typical perturbative methods used in QFT only work in specific regimes of validity for QCD. The most successful ab initio method to study QCD is Lattice Gauge Theory (LGT). …”

Imaging the wakes of jets with energy-energy-energy correlators by Bossi, Hannah, Kudinoor, Arjun S., Moult, Ian, Pablos, Daniel, Rai, Ananya, Rajagopal, Krishna

“…We find that hadrons originating from wakes are the dominant contribution to the three-point correlator in the kinematic regime in which the three points are well-separated in angle, forming a roughly equilateral triangle. …”

A reformulation of additive models by Wozniakowski, Alex

“…Yet, the traditional methodology neglects the means to explicitly incorporate prior knowledge into the fit of an additive model, which is of great practical importance in regression tasks, especially in the low training example regime, where entirely data-driven learning is not always feasible. …”

Electrical characterization of bias temperature instability in MOSFETs with the ultrathin SiON and la-doped HfSiO gate dielectrics by Du, Guoan.

“…Under certain stress voltage and temperature, the number of E'δ centers is saturated because the reaction of pre-existing oxygen vacancies at shallow regime reaches its dynamic balance. On the other hand, lengthening of the stress time allows the generation of deeper hole trap states arising greater structural relaxation through increased interaction with lattice phonons. …”

Chiral spin textures in a frustrated kondo lattice model by Munir Shahzad

“…We investigate Shastry-Sutherland Kondo lattice model (SS-KLM) extensively in different parameter regimes for the ground state phases with unique topological properties using a suite of numerical methods. …”

Modeling, optimization and thermal characterization of micropillar evaporator based high performance silicon vapor chamber by Wei, Mengyao

“…Investigation on wettability performance of micropillar structures was not systematically extended to a high temperature regime. In this thesis, we developed three semi-analytical models in predicting the capillary-limited dryout heat flux of uniform evaporators, biporous evaporators and sealed silicon vapor chambers. …”

The divergent fates of primitive hydrospheric water on Earth and Mars by Wade, Jon, Dyck, Brendan, Palin, Richard M., Moore, James Daniel Paul, Smye, Andrew J.

“…This would have allowed efficient overplating and burial of early Martian crust in a stagnant-lid tectonic regime, in which the lithosphere comprised a single tectonic plate, with only the warmer, lower crust involved in mantle convection. …”

Prediction of stable perovskite quantum dots (QDs) using machine learning (ML) algorithms by Cheong, Ivan

“…However, they have not been widely studied, with applications limited to solar cells and catalytic activity, the full extent of possible applications are yet to be realised. At the nano regime the properties are often different and can be controlled, this is due to quantum confinement and larger surface to volume ratio, which can be adjusted by controlling the size, subsequently able to use for various application. …”

Theoretical study on forced convection filmwise condensation inside converging channels in the presence of a non-condensable gas by Liu, Pengfei, Ho, Jin Yao, Kandasamy, Ranjith, Wong, Teck Neng

“…When the air mass fraction is high (W=0.4), the enhancement ratio appears to be insensitive to the Reynolds number in the laminar and turbulent regime, respectively. In addition, the enhancement ratio generally increases as the air mass fraction increases.…”
