China's rural migrant workers and labour politics by Chan, J, Selden, M

“…Yet, even as the size and complexity of China’s working class grow, class contradictions sharpen, and social protest proliferates, the language of class has largely disappeared from Chinese discourse (Anagnost 2008; Lee and Selden 2008; Andreas 2009; Guo 2009; Chen, M. and Goodman 2013; Goodman 2014). As Ching Kwan Lee and Yuan Shen (2009: 110) demonstrate, under dual pressure from the state and academic institutions, many scholars who study workers in post-Cultural Revolution China ‘shun class analysis and define away labour issues as those of mobility, migration, and stratification’. …”

Towards Health Centered Drug Policy: An Analysis of Past and Developing Drug Policy by Lewis, Benjamin B.

“…Overall, these findings contradict the popular claim that marijuana decriminalization leads to increased use of more dangerous drugs (and thus overdose deaths) in most cases – and more generally questions the characterization of marijuana as a gateway drug.…”

Gaussian message passing for overloaded massive MIMO-NOMA by Liu, Lei, Yuen, Chau, Guan, Yong Liang, Li, Ying, Huang, Chongwen

“…Both Nu and Ns are large numbers, and we consider the overloaded cases with Nu>Ns. The GMP for MIMO-NOMA is a message passing algorithm operating on a fully-connected loopy factor graph, which is well understood to fail to converge due to the correlation problem. …”
