Mechanics of fracture and flexure in Antarctic ice sheets and ice shelves by Zhang, H

“…In grounding zones and floating ice shelves, ice fracturing is often associated with flexure modulated by ocean tides and subglacial water flow, as well as stresses created by shearing, such as pinning points. Fracture and flexure significantly affect the vulnerability of Antarctic ice shelves to hydrofracturing and, by altering buttressing effects, the mass balance of the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet. …”

Degradation Mechanisms and Applications in Ion Intercalation Materials by Zhuang, Debbie

“…These particles control the crucial processes for energy storage in macroscopic devices, generating a process spanning multiple length and time scales in LiBs. However, despite the ubiquitous application of LiBs in many industries, degradation limits their lifespan, hindering their broader applicability in usages demanding high energy density and extended lifespans, such as electric vehicles (EVs). …”

Semantic matching in machine reading comprehension: an empirical study by Liu, Qian, Mao, Rui, Geng, Xiubo, Cambria, Erik

“…Matching coarse-grained context to questions, e.g., paragraphs, is more effective than matching fine-grained context, e.g., sentences and spans. We also find that semantic matching is helpful for answering who/where/when/what/how/which questions, whereas it decreases the MRC performance on why questions. …”

Force transduction through the bacterial cell envelope by Williams-Jones, D

“…Through use of mutagenesis, fluorescence microscopy, and live cell assays, I demonstrate that system function can be modulated by altering the secondary structure of the periplasm spanning transducer protein, TolA. I also examine the cell-wide implications of reducing TolA function in such a manner, with respect to membrane stability and cell division (chapter three). …”

Privacy: a political approach by Bogue, RC

“…An examination of four historic reformulations of what it means to be private, spanning two thousand years of western history, confirms that privacy has shifted considerably over time and that attempts to essentialize it are misplaced. …”

Kazhdan-Laumon Categories and Representations by Morton-Ferguson, Calder

“…After Bezrukavnikov and Polishchuk’s counterexample to Kazhdan and Laumon’s original conjecture, Polishchuk made an alternative conjecture: though the counterexample shows that the Grothendieck group K₀(A) is not spanned by objects of finite projective dimension, he noted that a graded version of K₀(A) can be thought of as a module over Laurent polynomials and conjectured that a certain localization of this module is generated by objects of finite projective dimension. …”

Essays on oil price fluctuations, financial markets and international trade by Le, Thai Ha

“…The long-run causality running from oil price to overall, oil and non-oil trade balances and their short-run dynamics are investigated by applying the Toda-Yamamoto’s 1995 (TY) causality approach and generalized impulse response functions (IRFs), respectively to the monthly data spanning from January 1999 to November 2011. Three Asian economies that represent three distinct characteristics in terms of oil are chosen and examined: Malaysia as an oil exporter, Singapore as an oil refinery and Japan as an oil importer. …”
