Design and analysis of a slider-level piezoelectric sensor array for head-disk contact detection by Yuan, Yanhui, Du, Hejun, Chow, Kun Shyong, Zhang, Mingsheng, Yu, Shengkai, Liu, Bo

“…To realize higher areal densities towards 10 Tbit/in2, the ever decreasing flying height of the slider approaches the near-contact regime. It is essential to monitor head-disk interactions to prevent instability and damage to the head-disk interface. …”

Civil military fusion : a cross-national assessment between Indonesia & Singapore from the 1990s to the 2010s by Yang, Ryan Xianzhe

“…Although Singapore and Indonesia have experienced very different forms of civil-military development in the past two decades, cross-national assessments between different regime-types remain uncommon and should be acknowledged as valuable in the examination of civil-military relations within the region. …”

Interfacial phenomena and biological recognition of mammalian cells on biomimetic materials by Chan, Vincent.

“…Most biological processes leading to cellular functions and physiological regulations are driven by molecular interactions at the nano-scale regime. A good example is the specific recognition between protein and proteoglycan receptors embedded in cell membrane matrix and other biomolecules immobilized on extracellular matrix that trigger the signal transduction cascades of cells and tissues. …”

Shi'ism, politics, and identity in Bahrain by Tan, Feng Qin

“…A 'naive' view of identity sees it as straightforwardly and deterministically causative, but if so the 2011 Pearl Uprising in Bahrain appears a paradox - a primarily secular episode of political contestation in a country with a Shi'a majority, against a Sunni dominated regime, in a political realm with a Shi'a Islamist-dominated opposition. …”

Disciplining the state: virtue, violence, and state-making in modern China by Thornton, P

“…Thornton offers a historical reading of the state-making process as a contest between central and local regimes of bureaucratic and discursive practice.…”

A comparison of methods for forecasting value at risk and expected shortfall of cryptocurrencies by Trucíos, C, Taylor, JW

“…Among them, long-memory processes, procedures taking into account the presence of extreme observations, procedures that include more than a single regime, and quantile regression-based models have performed substantially better than standard methods in terms of forecasting risk measures. …”

Weaning of Macrobrachium rosenbergii (de Man) larvae from Artemia to Moina micrura (Kurz) by Alam, M.J., Ang, K.J., Cheah, S.H.

“…M. rosenbergii larvae were gradually weaned from Artemia to Moina at their different stages. The feeding regime in which larvae were weaned on to Moina at stage X (AM10M) resulted in the highest (P<0.05) yield of 19.21 ± 1.54 PL/l with a corresponding survival of 64.02 ± 5.14%. …”

Krylov complexity in quantum field theory, and beyond by Avdoshkin, Alexander, Dymarsky, Anatoly, Smolkin, Michael

“…We discuss the temperature dependence of Lanczos coefficients and note that the relationship between the growth of Lanczos coefficients and chaos may only hold for the sufficiently late, truly asymptotic regime, governed by physics at the UV cutoff. Contrary to previous suggestions, we demonstrate scenarios in which Krylov complexity in quantum field theory behaves qualitatively differently from holographic complexity.…”

Dynamics of a self-interacting sheet in shear flow by Funkenbusch, William T., Silmore, Kevin S., Doyle, Patrick S.

“…We use kinetic and energetic arguments to explain why sheets adopt certain conformations within the folded regime. Finally, we calculate the stresslet and find that, even in the absence of thermal fluctuations and multiple sheet interactions, shear-thinning followed by shear-thickening behavior can appear.…”

Learning from the Nordic Welfare Model : what and how? by Xiong, Jieru

“…Thus, the notion that there must be a trade-off between economic performance and a more aggressive welfare regime should be examined more thoroughly. The debate for policy makers should perhaps be framed with regard to where the balance should be between growth and equity rather than a trade-off. …”
