A principles-led approach to information assurance and governance in local government by Brett, Mark

“…This practice-based paper explores a principles-led approach to cyber information governance for local authorities (LAs) in England and Wales, while linking it to a corporate information governance regime to support cyber security and resilience. …”

Approaches to mitigate polymer-core loss in plastic optical fibers: a review by Ioannides, Nicholas, Chunga, E. B., Bachmatiuk, A., Gonzalez-Martinez, I. G., Trzebicka, B., Adebimpe, D. B., Kalymnios, Demetri, Rümmeli, Mark H.

“…This kept them as a specialty fiber for illumination, sensing and low speed short data links. However, continued research and development on the core materials used in POFs are improving their performance significantly as we are now able to manufacture POFs with low transmission loss, high temperature resistance and stable bandwidth over distance. …”

Plotting against our nation: COVID-19, nationalisms, and conspiracy theories in five European countries by Malešević, Siniša, Uzelac, Gordana, Carol, Sarah, David, Lea

“…We focus on the two main issues: 1) the intensity and character of belief in the COVID-19 conspiracy theories across five European societies: Germany, England, Ireland, Serbia, and Sweden; and 2) how is the commitment to specific nationalist ideologies linked with the belief in conspiracy theories. The data indicates that those who described themselves as highly religious and politically right-wing are more prone to believe in the strong versions of conspiracy theories. …”

Qucs: improvements and new directions in GPL compact device modelling and circuit simulation tools by Brinson, Mike, Crozier, Richard, Kuznetsov, Vadim, Novak, Clemens, Roucaries, Bastien, Schreuder, Frans, Torri, Guilherme B.

“…Significant new features will include additional compact device modelling capabilities through the inclusion of the Berkeley Model and Algorithm Prototyping Platform (MAPP) linked to Octave and the Qucs/ADMS Verilog-A “turn-key” modelling system, a choice of circuit simulation engine from Qucs built-in software, ngspice and Xyce GPL simulators, plus an increased number of circuit design aids.…”

FOSS Compact Model Prototyping with Verilog-A Equation-Defined Devices (VAEDD) by Brinson, Mike

“…It has the same structure as the standard EDD but is built around compiled Verilog-A module code, which in turn is translated to C++ code and dynamically linked to the main body of the simulator code. Essentially a VAEDD is a tiny Verilog-A module with a standardised internal code structure. …”

Factors that contribute to hIAPP amyloidosis in type 2 diabetes mellitus by Sevcuka, Adriana, White, Kenneth, Terry, Cassandra

“…HIAPP can misfold and form amyloid fibrils which are preceded by pre-fibrillar oligomers and monomers, all of which have been linked, to a certain extent, to β-cell cytotoxicity through a range of proposed mechanisms. …”

Insight with stumpers: normative solution data for 25 stumpers and a fresh perspective on the accuracy effect by Ross, Wendy, Vallée-Tourangeau, Frédéric

“…Alongside normative data for 25 stumpers, we also demonstrate that insight is linked to certainty in the answer rather than whether the answer is correct or not and that certainty (subjective correctness) is a stronger predictor of the feeling of insight than objective correctness. …”

Possibility thinking scale: an initial psychometric exploration by Glăveanu, Vlad, Karwowski, Maciej, Ross, Wendy, Beghetto, Ronald A.

“…Across the four studies, we examined the factor structure of the PTS by comparing one- and three-factor models and tested the links between PT and relevant correlates: divergent thinking, creative agency factors, and facets of Openness and Extraversion. …”

Novel miniature microwave quasi-elliptical function bandpass filters with wideband harmonic suppression by Riaz, Muhammad

“…This technique is shown to provide a sharp 3-dB roll-off and steep selectivity skirt with high out-of-band rejection over a wide frequency span. In addition, the 3-dB fractional bandwidth of the filters is shown to be controllable by manipulating the filter’s geometric parameters. …”
