Surface water sensitivity to climate variability by Paltan-Lopez, H

“…This includes explaining the snowpack characteristics that determine timing and magnitude of river flow peaks in snow-dominated regions. Also, by quantifying the inter-annual variability driven by Atmospheric Rivers, this thesis found that this form of moisture transport contributes to 22% of total global annual runoff and their variability importantly drives hydrological extremes in various global locations. …”

Lithological controls of the Mg isotope composition of the Lena River across seasons and its impact on the annual isotope flux to the Arctic Ocean by Mavromatis, V, Porcelli, D, Andersson, PS, Korets, MA, Pokrovsky, OS

“…Given the importance of permafrost regions in providing the major elements to the Arctic Ocean, and the vulnerability of these regions to ongoing climate change due to permafrost thaw and landscape modifications, assessing the magnitude and characterizing the factors governing isotope compositions in river waters across seasons and space is of high priority. …”

The relationship between leisure time physical activity patterns, Alzheimer’s disease markers and cognition by James, S, Sudre, CH, Barnes, J, Cash, DM, Chiou, Y, Coath, W, Keshavan, A, Lu, K, Malone, I, Murray-Smith, H, Nicholas, JM, Orini, M, Parker, T, Almeida-Meza, P, Fox, NC, Richards, M, Schott, JM

“…Regression analyses were conducted to assess the direct and the moderating relationship between leisure time physical activity metrics, Alzheimer’s disease-related neurodegeneration markers (including Aβ status, hippocampal and whole-brain volume, and cortical thickness in Alzheimer’s disease signature regions) and cognition. All models were adjusted for childhood cognition, education and childhood socioeconomic position, and examined by sex. …”

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. …”

Prioritising conservation areas in Southeast Asia: highlighting zoological biodiversity hotspots and assessing spatiotemporal patterns of the felids guild by Chiaverini, L

“…Large, biodiverse regions are mostly associated with pristine landscapes, while anthropic factors were the main predictors of low levels of species richness. …”

A Trajectory Piecewise-Linear Approach to Model Order Reduction and Fast Simulation of Nonlinear Circuits and Micromachined Devices by RewieÅ ski, MichaÅ

“…However, rather than approximating the individual components to make a system with exponentially many different linear regions, we instead generate a small set of linearizations about the state trajectory which is the response to a 'training input'. …”

Finite element study of the properties and response of 3D printed lattice structures by Tay, Arissa Hui Yin

“…The increase of lattice size to 8×8×8 and 16×16×16 unit cells, however, see regions of intense strain localisation, evident by deformation bands, resulting in a poorer structural response.…”

Analysis of Singapore real estate investment trusts (S-REITs). by Liew, Jiun Bin., Liew, Jiun Hua., Chng, Eve Wei Yih.

“…Results of our investigations revealed that the S-REITs indeed provided diversification benefits despite a slight deviation from the performance of REITs in other geographical regions. Of the factors that affected the risk-return efficiency of S-REITs, it was found that two main factors, namely, credit worthiness and earnings stability, had the most significant impact on S-REITs in maximizing their risk-return efficiency. …”

Biothermoplastic elastomer (BTPE), influence of architecture on mechanical properties by Tjin, Monica Suryana.

“…The mechanical properties of the star-shaped copolymers were determined by molar ratio of -CL and TMC. Microcrystalline regions present in the soft block as well as the amount of hard block have been found to play an important role in providing elastic properties to the star-shaped copolymers. …”

Advocating for a global polylogue on vaginas : a transnational feminist critique on the vagina monologues by Hu, Cheri

“…However, TVM and V-day cannot yield the same results across various communities and regions worldwide as intended because cultural differences influence the way women approach their vaginas and feminism. …”

Image-based rendering using image-based priors by Fitzgibbon, A, Wexler, Y, Zisserman, A

“…This retains the benefits of geometric constraints, but projects out the ambiquities in depth estimation which occur in textureless regions. On the other hand, regularization is still needed in order to generate high-quality images. …”

Coping with peripheralization in small cities. What is the role of human agency? by Bosák, V, Slach, O, Paszová, L, Hýllová, L, Mykhnenko, V, Krtička, L, Nováček, A

“…<p>The growing process of metropolization has revealed its flip side in the last decade in the form of increasing social problems in peripheral regions. Through a comparative study of two structurally similar small cities in the Czech peripheral region, this paper explains different population trajectories as well as diverging competitive and foundational economies. …”

An exemplar model for learning object classes by Chum, O, Zisserman, A

“…We introduce an exemplar model that can learn and generate a region of interest around class instances in a training set, given only a set of images containing the visual class. …”

Softening characteristics of wet wood under quasi static loading by Hamdan, S., Dwianto, W., Morooka, T., Norimoto, M.

“…Two well-defined softening regions are observed. Both species showed the glass transition Tg of lignin at ∼90°C and ∼60°C for softwood and hardwood respectively and a second transition region at ∼ 160°C. …”

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. …”
