Aquatic and benthic bacteria responses to feed and fertiliser application in trials with the freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii (de Man) by MacLean, M.H., Ang, K.J., Brown, J.H., Jauncey, K.

“…Total bacterial abundance, mean cell volume and biomass, determined respectively by epifluorescence microscopy, image analysis and conversion calculation, illustrated the effect of treatment on the water and sediment bacterial populations. Differences in bacterial abundance and mean cell size were evident between treatments. …”

The Origins of Holding-Together Federalism: Nepal, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka by Breen, Michael G.

“…A bargain with the core results in quasi-federalism for regime maintenance. Conversely, demands for federalism are too easily repressed when secession risk is low.…”

Delocalized Davydov D1 Ansatz for the Holstein polaron by Sun, Jin, Duan, Liwei, Zhao, Yang

“…The delocalized D1 Ansatz lowers the ground-state energies at the Brillouin zone boundary significantly compared with the Toyozawa and Global-Local Ansätze in the weak coupling regime, while considerable improvement is demonstrated to have been achieved over the entire Brillouin zone in the strong coupling regime. …”

Elucidating the role of metabolic changes in modulating cell fate following treatment with anti-mitotic drugs by Wong, Alex Xing Fah

“…Better understanding of the cellular pathways underlying this escape from antimitotic drug-induced cell death, known as mitotic slippage, is crucial for development of combinatorial therapies that can enhance existing treatment regimen in patients. Mitotic slippage describes a phenomenon where cells escape mitotic arrest and cell death following treatment with anti-mitotic drugs, and "slip" into interphase without proper chromosome segregation and cytokinesis. …”

Evaluating new malaria vaccine candidates by Noé, A

“…Liver-resident memory CD8+ T cells (TRM) are necessary for protection against rodent malaria by this vaccine regimen. Ultimately, to most faithfully assess immunological responses by these local, specialised, hepatic T cells, periodic liver sampling is necessary. …”

Effect of strong electric fields on material responses : the Bloch oscillation resonance in high field conductivities by Singh, Satyvir, Battiato, Marco

“…We then extend the method to strong electric fields and show how the responses are deviated from the low-field ones and the transition to a dampened Bloch oscillation regime. Most importantly, we report the observation of a new regime induced by the resonance between the standard low-field response and Bloch oscillations.…”

Modal phase-matched bound states in the continuum for enhancing third harmonic generation of deep ultraviolet emission by Abdelraouf, Omar A. M., Anthur, Aravind P., Wang, Renshaw Xiao, Wang, Qi Jie, Liu, Hong

“…However, NLOs are limited by their bulky size, inadequate transparency at the DUV regime, and stringent phase-matching requirements for harmonic generation. …”

Fluid-fluid displacement in porous-media microfluidics by Qiu, Yu

“…We first develop a phase-field model to simulate two-phase flow with moving contact lines in the partial wetting regime. We construct a self-consistent formulation of fluid-solid surface energy which allows prescribing arbitrary static contact angles. …”

Deep neural networks have an inbuilt Occam’s razor by Mingard, C, Rees, H, Valle-Pérez, G, Louis, AA

“…The prior over functions is determined by the network architecture, which we vary by exploiting a transition between ordered and chaotic regimes. For Boolean function classification, we approximate the likelihood using the error spectrum of functions on data. …”

Profiting from prestige: the political economy of mega-events in Azerbaijan by Laporte, J

“…By problematising the direction of causality between mega-events and rentseeking behaviour, this analysis expands current theories on states’ motivations for hosting these events and contributes to existing understandings about how these proceedings serve to support and sustain rentier regimes.…”

Conflict abroad and political trust at home evidence from a natural experiment by Klymak, M, Vlandas, T

“…Further analyses using other surveys and previous conflicts suggest this effect depends on proximity to the conflict and the political regimes of the attacked country. These findings contribute to our understanding of the complex and indirect effects of conflicts on domestic political trust.…”
