Determination of diffusion length from within a confined region with the use of EBIC by Ong, Vincent K. S., Wu, Dethau.

“…This cannot be achieved using the conventional method, which evaluates the negative reciprocal of the slope of the EBIC signals line scan plotted on a semi-logarithmic scale. A limitation of this method is that the beam entrance surface of the sample is assumed to have negligible surface recombination.…”

Two for tau: automated model discovery reveals two-stage tau aggregation dynamics in Alzheimer’s disease by Stockman, CA, Goriely, A, Kuhl, E, Jerusalem, A, Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative

“…When trained on data from amyloid-𝛽 positive and negative subjects, the neural network clearly distinguishes between both groups and uncovers a more subtle relationship between amyloid-𝛽 and tau than previously postulated. In line with the amyloid-tau dual pathway hypothesis, our results show that the presence of toxic amyloid-𝛽 influences the accumulation of tau, particularly in the earlier disease stages. …”

Key Factors in Developing a Holistic Framework for Partnering in Sustainable Campus Development (S/O 13371) by Abdul Nifa, Faizatul Akmar, Salleh, Nurul Azita, Mohd Nawi, Mohd Nasrun

“…This rapid expansion of the education industry is also reflected by the increasing number of foreign universities launching local campuses in Malaysia. In line with the government's aim to place Malaysia as the top higher education provider in this region, it is imperative that campus development is at par with international universities especially in the matters of sustainability. …”

Trapped photoelectrons during spacecraft charging in sunlight by Cahoy, K., Lai, S. T.

“…Motivated by the recent interest in trapped photoelectrons measured by the Van Allen Probes in the radiation belts, we calculate the extent of the trapped photoelectron area and the potential barrier as a function of the dipole strength and sun angle using the monopole- dipole model. We find that the dipole strength is an important parameter in controlling the behavior of the potential wells and barriers. …”

Achieving Grassroots Innovation Through Multi-lateral Collaborations: Evidence from the Field by Reynolds-Cuéllar, Pedro; Buitrago Guzmán, Silvia

“…We analyze the success of these collaborations across three dimensions: (1) program's objectives, (2) systemic changes across partners as a result of these partnerships and (3) structural improvements and challenges for C-Innova. We find significant changes across all dimensions, suggesting this as a viable model for grassroots to achieve their goals without significantly compromising their core values and beliefs…”

Segregated interactions in urban and online space by Dong, Xiaowen, Morales, Alfredo J., Jahani, Eaman, Moro, Esteban, Lepri, Bruno, Bozkaya, Burcin, Sarraute, Carlos, Bar-Yam, Yaneer, Pentland, Alex

“…We show that segregated interaction is amplified relative to the expected effects of geographic segregation in terms of both purchase activity and online communication. Furthermore, we find that segregation increases with difference in socio-economic status but is asymmetric for purchase activity, i.e., the amount of interaction from poorer to wealthier neighborhoods is larger than vice versa. …”
