Magic-angle helical trilayer graphene by Devakul, Trithep, Ledwith, Patrick J., Xia, Li-Qiao, Uri, Aviram, de la Barrera, Sergio C., Jarillo-Herrero, Pablo, Fu, Liang

“…While nominally forming a supermoiré (or moiré-of-moiré) structure, we show that HTG locally relaxes into large regions of a periodic single-moiré structure realizing flat topological bands carrying nontrivial valley Chern number. …”

Analysis of Seoul Apartment Prices during Population Decline Era by Cho, Moohyun

“…Since the early 2020s, South Korea has faced a population decrease due to the lowest birth rates globally, but the apartment prices in capital regions covering Seoul, capital city of South Korea and Gyeonggi-do, have ironically shown a consistent upward trend. …”

Modeling spatially-dependent extreme events with Markov random field priors by Yu, Hang, Choo, Zheng, Dauwels, Justin, Jonathan, Philip, Zhou, Qiao

“…The model may for instance be used to describe the occurrence of catastrophic events such as earthquakes, floods, or hurricanes in certain regions; it may therefore be relevant for, e.g., weather forecasting, urban planning, and environmental assessment. …”

A novel method to synthesize cobalt oxide (Co3O4) nanowires from cobalt (Co) nanobowls by Srivastava, A. K., Madhavi, S., Ramanujan, R. V.

“…A novel method suitable for the synthesis of the cobalt oxide (Co3O4) nanowires at targeted regions is presented in this report. Cobalt (Co) nanobowls synthesized by colloidal crystal directed assembly were transformed into Co3O4 nanowires by a simple heat treatment process. …”

Buried in the mists of history : the comfort women of Singapore by Chee, Sylvia Sook Yan

“…This thesis asks the question why have these women’s tragedies been silenced from Singapore history, when victims from so many other regions have been, and are currently, volubly advocated for by their countries? …”

Threads between communities : silk trade in Singapore, 1900-1941 by Leong, Yoke Yann

“…This thesis argues that different ethnic silk merchant communities used to be interdependent on each other to obtain silk goods from certain regions, but became more independent as firms established new routes for a more direct flow of goods due to the boycotts and quotas. …”

Market research on a portable snake venom detection kit. by Thong, Hui Min.

“…Therefore, there is an urgent need for a snake venom detection kit specifically catered for South and Southeast Asian regions. The only commercially available diagnostic kit is from Commonwealth Serum Laboratories (CSL) and it uses the Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique. …”

Characterization of hippocampal CA1 place cells. by Lau, Hwee Hui.

“…In 1971, O’Keefe & Dostrovsky discovered the highly selective firings of hippocampal principal cells when rats were in specific regions within an environment and prompted research on hippocampus role in spatial processing. …”

The α-globin super-enhancer acts in an orientation-dependent manner by Kassouf, MT, Francis, HS, Gosden, M, Suciu, MC, Downes, DJ, Harrold, C, Larke, M, Oudelaar, M, Cornell, L, Blayney, J, Telenius, J, Xella, B, Shen, Y, Sousos, N, Sharpe, JA, Sloane-Stanley, J, Smith, AJH, Babbs, C, Hughes, JR, Higgs, DR

“…Within mammalian genomes, enhancer-like elements may be found individually or within clusters referred to as locus control regions or super-enhancers (SEs). While these behave similarly to individual enhancers with respect to cell specificity, distribution and distance, their orientation-dependence has not been formally tested. …”

Compute North vs. Compute South: the uneven possibilities of compute-based AI governance around the globe by Lehdonvirta, V, Wú, B, Hawkins, Z

“…Using a census of hyperscale cloud providers’ cloud regions, we observe that the world is divided into “Compute North” countries that host AI compute relevant for AI development (ie. training), “Compute South” countries whose AI compute is more relevant for AI deployment (ie. running inferencing), and “Compute Desert” countries that host no public cloud AI compute at all. …”

A methodological note on the global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) 2024 changes over time results for 86 countries by Alkire, S, Kanagaratnam, U, Suppa, N

“…OPHI MPI Methodological Note No. 60 presents the methodology and policies that underlie the harmonised 233 survey datasets used to produce the harmonised level estimates and their changes over time in multidimensional poverty for 86 countries and 863 subnational regions. 40 of the 86 countries have trends for two points in time, while poverty trends in 36 countries are based on three points in time. …”

Specialized replication mechanisms maintain genome stability at human centromeres by Scelfo, A, Angrisani, A, Grillo, M, Barnes, BM, Muyas, F, Sauer, CM, Leung, CWB, Dumont, M, Grison, M, Mazaud, D, Garnier, M, Guintini, L, Nelson, L, Esashi, F, Cortés-Ciriano, I, Taylor, SS, Déjardin, J, Wilhelm, T, Fachinetti, D

“…Locus-specific proteomics identifies specialized DNA replication and repair proteins at centromeres, highlighting them as difficult-to-replicate regions. The translesion synthesis pathway, along with other factors, acts to sustain centromere replication and integrity. …”

Lions select larger prey in a Central African protected area with increasingly effective management by Fraticelli, C, Zayed, AA, Leirs, H, Bauer, H

“…Our results show that diet shifts due to prey losses can be reversed with restoration of prey populations thanks to improved management, and we speculate that this may be true across large carnivores and across regions. …”

The Global Multidimensional Poverty Index 2022: harmonised level estimates and their changes over time by Alkire, S, Kanagaratnam, U, Suppa, N

Lost in quantization: improving particular object retrieval in large scale image databases by Philbin, J, Chum, O, Isard, M, Sivic, J, Zisserman, A

“…A key component of these approaches is that local regions of images are characterized using high-dimensional descriptors which are then mapped to ldquovisual wordsrdquo selected from a discrete vocabulary.This paper explores techniques to map each visual region to a weighted set of words, allowing the inclusion of features which were lost in the quantization stage of previous systems. …”

Beyond symbolism: the roles of action planning and case-making in immigrant integration policymaking by Allen, WL, Broadhead, J

“…In response, we examine how municipal actors in 12 cities and regions across the UK have devised and communicated policies on immigrant integration—an area that lacks national policy inputs yet is locally consequential—through the mechanism of “action planning.” …”

String theory and the first half of the universe by Apers, F, Conlon, JP, Copeland, EJ, Mosny, M, Revello, F

“…We analyse the cosmology within the framework of the Large Volume Scenario but explain how analogous cosmological features are expected in other string theory models characterized by final vacua located in the asymptotic regions of moduli space. Conventional effective field theory is unable to control Planck-suppressed operators and so such epochs require a stringy completion for a consistent analysis. …”
