Exploring the Dynamics of Canine-Assisted Interactions: A Wearable Approach to Understanding Interspecies Well-Being by Holder, Timothy R. N., Nichols, Colt, Summers, Emily, Roberts, David L., Bozkurt, Alper

“…Also, we observed in our pilot study that (a) the canine heart rate was more dynamic than the human’s during interactions, (b) the surveys proved to be the best indicator of the subjects’ affective state, and (c) the behavior coding approaches best tracked the bond quality between the interacting dyads. …”

Future oxide-based resistive flash memories by Wu, Wenze.

“…Amongst emerging alternative technologies, Resistive Random Access Memory (RRAM) with its high speed and ability to scale further downwards presents itself as a possible candidate to replace DRAM. However the current best RRAM samples slightly fall short of the required endurance, and the device's behavior outside laboratory test setups still has many unknowns. …”

When money can’t buy political love: lab experiments on vote buying in Ghana and Uganda by Burbidge, D, Cheeseman, N, Panin, A

“…Respondents who have had positive experiences of elections were more likely to reward nonbribing candidates These findings suggest that the lab-in-the-field results are best explained by democratic values among some respondents. …”

Collection, use, dispersal: the library of Charles Hutton and the fate of Georgian mathematics by Wardhaugh, B

“…Charles Hutton (1737–1823) collected books from his childhood onwards, and by the time of his retirement owned what he and his friends believed was the best mathematical library in England. Following a misunderstanding with the British Museum, the collection was dispersed at auction in 1816, and few of the books can now be located. …”

A moment of change: facilitating refugee children's mental health in UK schools by Fazel, M

Parallel roles of neuroinflammation in feline and human epilepsies by Binks, S, Lamquet, S, Crawford, AH, Meurs, A, Irani, SR, Pakozdy, A

“…Recent research suggests that parallel autoantibodies can be detected in non-human mammalian species. The best documented example is leucine-rich glioma-inactivated 1 (LGI1)-antibodies in domestic cats with limbic encephalitis (LE). …”

Experimental quantum advantage in the odd-cycle game by Drmota, P, Main, D, Ainley, EM, Agrawal, A, Araneda, G, Nadlinger, DP, Nichol, BC, Srinivas, R, Cabello, A, Lucas, DM

“…We entangle two atoms separated by ∼ 2 m and the players use them to win the odd-cycle game with a probability ∼ 26σ above that allowed by the best classical strategy. The experiment implements the optimal quantum strategy, is free of loopholes, and achieves 97.8(3) % of the theoretical limit to the quantum winning probability. …”

Injectable and biomimetic poly (ethylene glycol) hydrogel systems for in situ therapeutic cell delivery by Cao, Ye

“…Biomimetic poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG)-based hydrogels have been widely explored as extracellular matrix (ECM) mimicking hydrogels as they conserve the advantages of both ECM (cell-responsive molecules) and synthetic hydrogels (controllable structure and mechanical properties), but did not mimic natural ECM well enough due to limited instructive cues. …”

Modeling Sandbar Effects on Nearshore Waves and Morphological Change using SWAN by Murman, Charles E.

“…Numerical model simulations (Delft3D SWAN) are used to examine the impact of small alongshore variations in the bathymetry of an outer sandbar (in about 5-m water depth) on the nearshore wave field as the shallow (< 3 m) bathymetry changes from near alongshore uniform to strongly spatially variable to understand wave driven morphologic evolution. …”
