Biofilm formation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in spaceflight is minimized on lubricant impregnated surfaces by Flores, Pamela, McBride, Samantha A., Galazka, Jonathan M., Varanasi, Kripa K., Zea, Luis

“…To mitigate the risks that arise from them, it is important to understand biofilms’ behavior in microgravity. As part of the Space Biofilms project, biofilms of <jats:italic>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</jats:italic> were grown in spaceflight over material surfaces. …”

Convexity of Solvability Set of Power Distribution Networks by Dymarsky, Anatoly, Turitsyn, Konstantin

“…It is nevertheless the case that if the network is almost homogeneous, a substantial practically important part of the solvability set is still convex. Finally, we prove convexity of real solvability set (only real powers) for any tree network as well as for purely resistive networks with arbitrary topology.…”

Promoting Health Equity Through Preventing or Mitigating the Effects of Gentrification: A Theoretical and Methodological Guide by Cole, Helen V.S., Anguelovski, Isabelle, Triguero-Mas, Margarita, Mehdipanah, Roshanak, Arcaya, Mariana

“…We suggest taking an interdisciplinary approach, considering the conceptualization of gentrification in measurement techniques and conceiving this process as a direct exposure or as a part of broader neighborhood changes. Finally, we discuss existing policy approaches to mitigating and preventing gentrification and how these could be evaluated for effectiveness and as public health promotion and specifically as interventions to promote health equity.…”

Mucins regulate virulence and colonization factors in Streptococcus pneumoniae by Bath, Jade Rose

“…The mechanisms by which the body tolerates the presence of S. pneumoniae as part of the microbiota remain largely unknown. In this thesis, I fill this gap by exploring how S. pneumoniae senses and responds to the mucin environment. …”

Possession and syntactic categories: An argument from Äiwoo by Roversi, Giovanni

“…While it is clear that in many languages possession is mostly grounded in and operates in the nominal extended projection (Szabolcsi 1983; Kayne 1993), I show that this cannot be universal. The empirical part of this article is a case study of Äiwoo, which I argue has an inherently verbal counterpart of English ’s, an abstract transitive verb I label poss. …”

High field dynamic nuclear polarization methods: Microwave sources and mechanisms by Mardini, Michael

“…In thirty years of active development, dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) has emerged as a forefront technique for expanding the scope of solid state nuclear magnetic resonance. For the most part, and particularly at high fields, these advances have come with continuous-wave microwave irradiation and the introduction of nitroxide-based biradicals exploiting the cross effect mechanism. …”

Paradoxes of Openness: Trans Experiences in Open Source Software by Frluckaj, Hana, Stevens, Nikki, Howison, James, Dabbish, Laura

“…OSS is an important form of digital infrastructure and part of a career path for many developers. While there exists a growing body of literature on cisgender women&#8217;s under-representation in OSS, the experiences of contributors from other marginalized groups are comparatively absent from the literature. …”

Machine Learning‐Guided Computational Screening of New Candidate Reactions with High Bioorthogonal Click Potential by Stuyver, Thijs, Coley, Connor W

“…Bioorthogonal click chemistry has become an indispensable part of the biochemist's toolbox. Despite the wide variety of applications that have been developed in recent years, only a limited number of bioorthogonal click reactions have been discovered so far, most of them based on (substituted) azides. …”

The future of IPTV: adding social networking and mobility by Mirlacher, T., Montpetit, Marie-Jose, Klym, Natalie

“…However, there is obviously no turning back as this content pervades the home and the community. Driven in large part by the near-ubiquitous IP-based communication services, the TV experience has been extended over the years to embrace many of the same ancillary services provided by web applications. …”

Our sub-universe, the wider universe, and their properties by Ng, Yew-Kwang

“…Following on from an argument that our finite (sub) universe from the Big Bang was created by a natural ‘God’ (thus differing from the supernatural God of the religion) that evolved in the wider universe, this paper argues that our sub-universe is only a small part of the wider universe defined to include everything. …”

Dielectric metamaterials with toroidal dipolar response by Economou, Eleftherios N., Soukoulis, Costas M., Fedotov, Vassili A., Savinov, Vassili, Zheludev, Nikolay I., Basharin, Alexey A., Kafesaki, Maria

“…Here, we propose and theoretically study all-dielectric metamaterials of a special class that represent a simple electromagnetic system supporting toroidal dipolar excitations in the THz part of the spectrum. We show that resonant transmission and reflection of such metamaterials is dominated by toroidal dipole scattering, the neglect of which would result in a misunderstanding interpretation of the metamaterials’ macroscopic response. …”
