Interns or workers? China's student labor regime by Chan, J, Pun, N, Selden, M

“…Based on fieldwork in Sichuan and Guangdong between 2011 and 2012 and follow-up interviews in 2014, as well as analysis of the Henan government's policies on internships, we find that the student labor regime has become integral to the capital-state relationship as a means to assure a lower cost and flexible labor supply for Foxconn and others. …”

One-dimensional sectors from the squashed three-sphere by Bomans, P, Pufu, SS

“…For gauge theories with matter hypermultiplets, we use supersymmetric localization to derive an explicit description of the topological sector associated with the Higgs branch. Furthermore, we find that the dependence of the 1d correlation functions on the squashing parameter b can be removed after appropriate rescalings. …”

Evidence of rapid hydrogen chloride uptake on water ice in the atmosphere of Mars by Luginin, M, Trokhimovskiy, A, Taysum, B, Fedorova, AA, Korablev, O, Olsen, KS, Montmessin, F, Lefèvre, F

“…In this work, we use simultaneous measurements of water ice and HCl obtained by the ACS instrument to find particular structures in the vertical profiles as detached gas layers at ice-free altitudes (“ice-holes”). …”

Encephalization is not a universal macroevolutionary phenomenon in mammals but is associated with sociality by Shultz, S, Dunbar, R

“…We show that there is wide variation across groups in encephalization slopes across groups and that encephalization is not universal in mammals. We also find that temporal changes in brain size are not associated with allometric relationships between brain and body size. …”

AI-assisted discovery of quantitative and formal models in social science by Balla, J, Huang, S, Dugan, O, Dangovski, R, Soljačić, M

“…By extending neuro-symbolic methods to find compact functions and differential equations in noisy and longitudinal data, we show that our system can be used to discover interpretable models from real-world data in economics and sociology. …”

Climate change mitigation policies for developing countries by Caucheteux, J, Fankhauser, S, Srivastav, S

“…Here, we synthesize what is known about emissions reduction policies in LMICs. We find a strong emphasis on finance interventions and regulatory measures, including the need for power sector reform. …”

Augmented reality application for chemical engineering unit operations by Gunawan, P, Kwan, J, Cai, Y, Yang, R

“…Despite having learned the concepts on how they work, students may find it difficult to comprehend and visualize what is going on inside a distillation column and how to connect various theories involved in the design and calculations. …”

Development of millimetre-wave heterodyne array for airborne and space satellite mission by Tan, B, Wenninger, J, Yassin, G

“…In this paper, we present our latest works on developing the various generic technologies to find the innovative solutions for constructing a heterodyne focal plane array, based on the Superconductor-Insulator-Superconductor (SIS) mixer technology. …”

Inferring structural variant cancer cell fraction by Cmero, M, Yuan, K, Ong, CS, Schröder, J, PCAWG Evolution and Heterogeneity Working Group, Corcoran, NM, Papenfuss, T, Hovens, CM, Markowetz, F, Macintyre, G, PCAWG Consortium

“…We assess performance using in silico mixtures of real samples, at known proportions, created from two clonal metastases from the same patient. We find that SVclone's performance is comparable to single-nucleotide variant-based methods, despite having an order of magnitude fewer data points. …”

One-dimensional sectors from the squashed three-sphere by Bomans, P, Pufu, S

“…For gauge theories with matter hypermultiplets, we use supersymmetric localization to derive an explicit description of the topological sector associated with the Higgs branch. Furthermore, we find that the dependence of the 1d correlation functions on the squashing parameter $\mathcal{b}$ can be removed after appropriate rescalings. …”

Social stratification in science: the ultra-elite in the UK by Bukodi, E, Goldthorpe, JH, Steinberg, I

“…In the UK case, we compare the social origins and educational careers of members of two possible scientific ultra-elites, defined by differing degrees of stringency, with those of other elite scientists. We find that as one moves from the elite to the less stringently defined ultra-elite, there is little evidence of increasing social stratification but that such evidence does emerge in moving to the more stringently defined ultra-elite. …”

Effective process of commercialization at the research institutions in Malaysia. by Mohd. Zaki, Nor Azlin Nazira, Abdul Rahim, Abd. Rahman, Mohd. Hashim, Fakhruldin

“…Therapid change in science and technologyhas forced researcher and industry player to find new ways for commercializationof their technology and product.Proven and effective process of commercialization is crucial for the technology to further expand and succeed in the marketplace. …”

Masked multiple state space model identification using FRD and evolutionary optimization by Efe, Mehmet Önder, Kürkçü, Burak, Kasnakoğlu, Coşku, Mohamed, Zaharuddin, Liu, Zhijie

“…Given different FRD sets obtained from different systems and a fixed state space model structure, is it possible to find a constant parameter vector containing (A, B, C, D) quadruple’s numerical content and a FRD-associated mask vector set that approximates the spectral information available in each FRD set? …”

A Single Period Deterministic Inventory Routing Model for Solving Problems in the Agriculture Industry by Muhammad Khodri Harahap, Afif Zuhri, Abdul Rahim, Mohd Kamarul Irwan

“…Thus, by setting the delivery routes for DC, based on the number of products that have been set for each customer, it helps to find an optimal inventory routing problem (IRP). …”

Characterizing the conformational landscape of MDM2-binding p53 peptides using molecular dynamics simulations by Yadahalli, Shilpa, Li, Jianguo, Lane, David P., Gosavi, Shachi, Verma, Chandra Shekhar

“…Complementing earlier observations, the current study suggests that the p53 peptides largely follow the ‘conformational selection’ paradigm in their recognition of and complexation by MDM2 while the 12/1 peptides likely undergo some element of conformational selection but are mostly driven by ‘binding induced folding’. …”
