Influence of spatial variability on slope failure analysis by the shear strength reduction technique by Zhang, Wengang, Goh, Anthony Teck Chee

“…Present publications mainly use the predetermined spatial correlation length L, the dimensionless ratio of correlation length to the slope height L/H or the Markov chain approach to describe the tendency of elements spatially near each other to be correlated. In this paper, the randomness of the input model variables can be realized by the shape of the normal distribution curves and the fluctuations of c and Ø values among different elements are presumed to follow the normal distribution. …”

Cadmium isotope fractionation during adsorption onto calcite by Peng, H, Liu, P, Zheng, H, Belshaw, NS, Hu, S, Zhu, Z

“…The enrichment of lighter Cd isotopes may result from highly distorted octahedral Cdsingle bondO6 sites of inner-sphere Cd complexes on calcite, indicated by extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS). However, near identical coordination environments of the aqueous and sorbed Cd species in the presence of PO43− likely led to the reduced Cd isotope fractionation. …”

The neural correlates of response inhibition across the transition from infancy to toddlerhood: an fNIRS Study by Fiske, A, Collins-Jones, L, de Klerk, C, Lui, KYK, Hendry, A, Greenhalgh, I, Hall, A, Dvergsdal, H, Scerif, G, Holmboe, K

“…Despite the importance of this developmental period, relatively little is known about the emergence and development of response inhibition, a form of inhibitory control, and the associated neural substrates across this key transition. Using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), an optical imaging technique suitable for imaging the developing brain, and an age-appropriate response inhibition task, we investigated the brain regions associated with response inhibition in 16-month-old toddlers. …”

In situ nanoscopy of single-grain nanomorphology and ultrafast carrier dynamics in metal halide perovskites by Zizlsperger, M, Nerreter, S, Yuan, Q, Lohmann, KB, Sandner, F, Schiegl, F, Meineke, C, Gerasimenko, YA, Herz, LM, Siday, T, Huber, MA, Johnston, MB, Huber, R

“…Here we simultaneously probe the intrinsic out-of-plane charge-carrier diffusion and the nanoscale morphology by pushing depth-sensitive terahertz near-field nanospectroscopy to extreme subcycle timescales. …”

Alternative credit scoring for the un(der)banked by Elrakabawy, S

“…I show that machine-learning yields substantial above chance probabilities in estimating credit risk, and I also manage to reduce the feature set dimensionality (i.e. credit request steps) by 96 percent at near-identical prediction performance, which translates to a quasi-single-question credit request. …”

Efficacy of cannabinoids for the prophylaxis of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting—a systematic review and meta-analysis by Chow, R, Basu, A, Kaur, J, Hui, D, Im, J, Prsic, E, Boldt, G, Lock, M, Eng, L, Ng, TL, Zimmermann, C, Scotte, F

“…Results: A total of 26 studies were included in this meta-analysis, of which 23 were published before the 2000s. Nearly half of the included studies had some concern for bias. …”

Metasomatism of the continental crust and its impact on surface uplift: insights from reactive‐transport modelling by Worthington, JR, Chin, EJ, Palin, RM

“…Although orogenic surface-uplift mechanisms for modern continental plateaus near known plate margins like Tibet are well-characterized, they cannot account for examples in intracontinental settings like the Colorado Plateau. …”

How ready is general practice to improve quality in chronic kidney disease? A diagnostic analysis by Crinson, I, Gallagher, H, Thomas, N, de Lusignan, S

“…Some sought to implement the full guidance, others only the pay-for-performance targets. Nearly all practitioners had reservations as to whether CKD was really a disease; problematised the diagnosis of CKD purely on an estimate of glomerular filtration rate; questioned whether CKD in older people was part of natural ageing; and had experienced difficulty in explaining the condition to patients without frightening them. …”

Magnetic field amplification in laser-produced plasmas by Meinecke, J

“…In the early universe, matter was nearly homogeneously distributed; today, as a result of gravitational instabilities, it forms a web-like structure of clusters, filaments, and voids. …”

A diminished large carnivore guild with contrasting species-habitat associations persists outside national parks in Namibia's central-eastern landscape by Verschueren, S, Hofmann, T, Briers-Louw, WD, Kakove, M, Leirs, H, Bauer, H, Marker, L, Cristescu, B

“…African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) were more common near their resident population eastwards and in areas of greater vegetation productivity. …”
