Glue semantics by Asudeh, A, Dalrymple, M

“…We provide a guide to the existing glue literature by discussing and comparing different formats for glue contributions that have been adopted in previous work, and we discuss proposals for integrating glue with a variety of syntactic frameworks including Lexical Functional Grammar, Minimalism, and Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar, and with a variety of semantic theories including event semantics and dynamic semantics. …”

Fifty shades of deprivation: disaggregating types of economic disadvantage in studies of terrorism by Hertog, S, Arellano, A, Hegghammer, T, Østby, G

“…We argue that this is due to inconsistencies in the way deprivation has been defined and measured. This article identifies these deficiencies and provides a roadmap towards more precise measurement of deprivation and consequently toward a better understanding of its potential impact on the emergence of terrorism. …”

Entangled exclusions: borders, frontiers and urban geopolitics from northeast India by Das, P, Mittal, G, Sarma, J

“…An epicentre of ethnicity-based identity politics and exclusions, India's northeastern region has long been politically imagined as both a ‘frontier’ and ‘borderland’ for state control, territorialization, extractive economies and (re)developments by colonial and subsequent post-colonial regimes. …”

A compact water window X-ray source based on inverse Compton scattering by Musat, V, Burrows, PN, Doebert, S, Granados, E, Herrador, J, Latina, A, Malyzhenkov, A

“…Given the limited availability of current generation light sources in this energy range, table-top water window X-ray sources have been proposed as alternatives. We present start-to-end simulations in RF-Track of a water window X-ray source based on inverse Compton scattering. …”

Coupling photo-responsive transmembrane ion transport with transition metal catalysis by Chao, X, Johnson, T, Temian, M-C, Docker, A, Wallabregue, A, Scott, A, Conway, S, Langton, M

Forensic mental health: envisioning a more empirical future by Tully, J, Hafferty, J, Whiting, D, Dean, K, Fazel, S

“…To achieve these goals, these services are necessarily expensive, but they have been criticised for a high-cost, low-volume approach, for lacking consistent standards of care, and for neglecting human rights and other ethical considerations. …”

Computational analysis for infectious diseases surveillance and host-pathogen interactions (in the context of Influenza A viruses) by Beyene, Biruhalem Taye

“…While there are few clinically approved anti-IAV drugs for therapeutic and prophylactic use, these drugs have also been challenged by the emergence of drug resistance, toxicity, adverse effects and low efficacy. …”
