A commentary on Plutarch's Cato Minor by Geiger, J

“…The reign of Domitian ensures the end of the literary preoccupation with Cato: hero worshippers found in Thrasea Paetus and Helvidius Priscus a more recent vintage of martyrs for the cause of libertas.…”

Variation in the social composition of the uk academic elite: the underlay of the two – or three – cultures? by Bukodi, E, Goldthorpe, J

“…However, a notable development in more recent years is that the growing social sciences elite is moving in its social composition away from the humanities elite and closer to the natural science elite. …”

The value of flexible vaccine manufacturing capacity: value drivers, estimation methods, and approaches to value recognition in health technology assessment by McElwee, F, Newall, A

“…Expanding flexible vaccine manufacturing capacity (FVMC) for routine vaccines could facilitate more timely access to novel vaccines during future pandemics. …”

uCAP: an unsupervised prompting method for vision-language models by Nguyen, AT, Tai, KS, Chen, BC, Shukla, SN, Yu, H, Torr, P, Tian, TP, Lim, SN

“…In particular, prompts for vision-language models are domain-level texts (e.g., “a centered satellite image of ...”) which, together with the class names, are fed into the text encoder to provide more context for the downstream dataset. These prompts are typically manually tuned, which is time consuming and often sub-optimal. …”

Nanostructure and photovoltaic potential of plasmonic nanofibrous active layers by Schofield, RM, Maciejewska, BM, Elmestekawy, KA, Woolley, JM, Tebbutt, GT, Danaie, M, Allen, CS, Herz, LM, Assender, HE, Grobert, N

“…Transient absorption studies reveal that silver nanoparticle addition to the fibers improves charge generation and/or lifetimes. 1 ns post-excitation, the plasmonic architecture contains 45% more polarons, per exciton formed, than the bulk heterojunction. …”

Anchoring charge selective self-assembled monolayers for tin-lead perovskite solar cells by Zhang, Z, Zhu, R, Tang, Y, Su, Z, Hu, S, Zhang, X, Zhang, J, Zhao, J, Xue, Y, Gao, X, Li, G, Pascual, J, Abate, A, Li, M

“…It is found that the monolayer with the carboxylate group exhibits appropriate interaction and has a more favorable orientation and arrangement than that of the phosphate group. …”

Turner‚ Bird‚ Eratosthenes: the eternal burning thread by Gibbons, J

“…He observed that most programs are already structurally recursive or corecursive, therefore guaranteed respectively terminating or productive; he conjectured that “with more practice we will find this is always true”. …”

Statistical theory of the broadband two-plasmon decay instability by Rusko, RT, Bingham, R, Silva, LO, Harper, M, Aboushelbaya, R, Myatt, JF, Norreys, PA

“…In the limit of large bandwidth, the well-known scaling relations for the growth rate are recovered, but it is shown that the result is more sensitive to the spectral shape of the laser pulse rather than to its coherence time. …”

Ionic structure, liquid-liquid phase transitions, x-ray diffraction, and x-ray Thomson scattering in shock-compressed liquid silicon in the 100-200 GPa regime by Dharma-wardana, MWC, Klug, DD, Poole, H, Gregori, G

“…The LPTs make the interpretation of these experiments more challenging. The LPTs preserve the short-ranged ionic structure of the fluid by collective adjustments of many distant atoms when subject to compression and heating, with minimal change in the ion-ion pair-distribution functions, and in transport properties such as the electrical and thermal conductivities σ and κ. …”

The effect of inter-municipal cooperation on social assistance programs: evidence from housing allowances in England by Elston, T, Bel, G, Wang, H

“…But few impact evaluations test whether the same benefits can be achieved for less capital-intensive and more co-produced services, like social assistance. …”

Knowledge transfer and entrepreneurship in industrial hubs in Nigeria by Ogbonna, NC

“…Finally, state interventions in the ecosystem are more effective when there is active collaboration and engagement between the state and ecosystem actors, as opposed to top-down approaches where such engagement is minimal. …”

Building the city of God: imperial patronage and local influence in Jerusalem from Theodosius I to Justinian (379-565 ad) by Klein, K

“…My reading of the sources makes clear that Jerusalem and the imperial court were more closely connected than previously assumed. …”

Quantifying the Evolutionary Dynamics of Structure and Content in Closely Related E. coli Genomes by Molari, M, Shaw, LP, Neher, RA

“…Sixty-three percent of loci with structural diversity could be resolved into individual gain and loss events with 10-fold more gains than losses, demonstrating a dominance of gains due to insertion sequences and prophage integration. …”

An umbrella review of health outcomes following traumatic brain injury by Ogonah, MGT, Botchway, S, Yu, R, Schofield, PW, Fazel, S

“…Three outcomes—dementia, violence perpetration, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis—had meta-analytical evidence of at least moderate quality, which suggest targets for more personalized assessment. Health-care services should review how to prevent adverse long-term outcomes in TBI.…”

Opportunities for quantum computing within net-zero power system optimization by Morstyn, T, Wang, X

“…</p> <p><i> Potential future directions: </i>To address challenges for industry implementation and scale-up, we propose new research into (1) benchmark problem definitions and performance criteria; (2) domain-specific algorithms and hardware for current noisy intermediate-scale devices; and (3) holistic power industry computing strategies integrating quantum computing with more immediate areas of classical computing innovation.…”

The impact and effectiveness of local content policy on oil exploration and production in Brazil by de Almeida, E, Martinez-Prieto, D

“…Shifting from an approach that penalizes non-compliance to one that rewards operators who exceed commitments would likely represent a more effective incentive structure. For contracts already signed that are unable to meet local content requirements, there is a range of pragmatic adjustments that could be considered in addition to those already mentioned.…”

Just nature recovery: a framework for centring multispecies and multi-dimensional justice in land management by Stanley, T, Hirons, M, Turnbull, J, Lorimer, J, Kumeh, E, Hafferty, C, Anderson, L, McDermott, C
