Hawking radiation of extended objects by Johnson, G, March-Russell, J

“…We find that in the low-momentum regime, the power emitted is exponentially suppressed for sufficiently large radiated objects, or sufficiently small black holes, though the temperature of emission is unchanged. …”

Dynamics of localized waves in one-dimensional random potentials : statistical theory of the coherent forward scattering peak by Lee, Kean Loon, Miniatura, Christian, Grémaud, Benoît

“…Going beyond the perturbative regime, we address here the long-time dynamics of the CFS peak in a one-dimensional random system and we relate this novel interference effect to the statistical properties of the eigenfunctions and eigenspectrum of the corresponding random Hamiltonian. …”

Coherently tunable triangular trefoil phaseonium metamaterial by Soci, Cesare, Nguyen, Duc Minh, Ooi, Raymond C. H.

“…We find that, in the metallic regime, the phaseonium metamaterial structure supports extremely large transmission, with optical amplification at large enough intensity of the microwave thanks to strong surface plasmon coupling; while, in the dielectric regime without microwave excitation, the transmission bandwidth can be tuned by varying the control beam intensity. …”

Controller decision making using neural networks by Andres Prado Espinoza

“…However, creating local models to approximate the plant by linear regions is a suitable approach in most cases. This approach lets the engineer create local PID controllers and switch them according to the plant linear regions.…”

Two-degree-of-freedom piezoelectric energy harvesting from vortex-induced vibration by Lu, De, Li, Zhiqing, Hu, Guobiao, Zhou, Bo, Yang, Yaowen, Zhang, Guiyong

“…Compared with the traditional 1DOF VIVPEH, the 2DOF VIVPEH proposed in this paper produced two lock-in regions for broadband wind energy harvesting. Furthermore, it was unveiled that the first- and second-order resonances were induced in the first and lock-in regions, respectively. …”

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. …”

Functional modules of the human brain from resting-state fMRI by Long, Hongquan

“…By studying the functional connectivity, we are able to identify some specific regions with known functional brain systems. Those regions can possibly be further classified as functional organizations or functional modules. …”

Genomic analysis of global Plasmodium vivax populations reveals insights into the evolution of drug resistance by Ngwana-Joseph, GC, Phelan, JE, Manko, E, Dombrowski, JG, da Silva Santos, S, Suarez-Mutis, M, Vélez-Tobón, G, Tobón Castaño, A, Machado, RLD, Marinho, CRF, Nolder, D, Nosten, F, Sutherland, CJ, Campino, S, Clark, TG

“…Increasing reports of chloroquine resistance (CQR) in Plasmodium vivax endemic regions have led to several countries, including Indonesia, to adopt dihydroarteminsin-piperaquine instead. …”

1-in-3 vs. not-all-equal: dichotomy of a broken promise by Ciardo, L, Kozik, M, Krokhin, A, Nakajima, T-V, Živný, S

“…In the present work, we investigate this constraint satisfaction problem in a regime where the promise is weakened from either side by a rainbow-free structure, and establish a complexity dichotomy for the resulting class of computational problems.…”

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.…”
