Engineering culture: logics of optimization in music, games, and apps by Morris, JW, Prey, R, Nieborg, DB

“…We hope our comparative approach reveals different conceptions of the term optimization, and that this term—in all its digital, financial, and cybernetic connotations—might prompt new ways of thinking about the interactions between content, (meta)data, platforms, and culture that have long shaped the circulation of cultural goods.…”

Langevin dynamics for a heavy particle immersed within a flow of light particles by Erban, R, Van Gorder, R

“…Computational methods for simulating the microhydrodynamics model are then designed to confirm the theoretical results. To enable long-time stochastic simulations, simulations are performed in a frame co-moving with the heavy particle. …”

“…The long-term clinical outcomes and associated prognostic factors in contactin-associated protein-like 2 (CASPR2)-antibody diseases are unknown. …”

Laser-written scalable sapphire integrated photonics platform by Wang, M, Salter, PS, Payne, FP, Liu, T, Booth, MJ, Fells, JAJ

“…The devices are up to 10 cm long and written at depths down to 800 µm. The propagation losses for single-mode guiding are ∼ 0.6 dB/cm at 780 nm and ∼ 0.7 dB/cm at 1550 nm. …”

Quantifying behavior-based gender discrimination on collaborative platforms by Vásárhelyi, O, Vedres, B

“…As platforms employ algorithmic tools and AI systems to manage users’ activity and visibility, and recommend new projects to collaborate, stereotypes associated with behavior can have long-lasting consequences.…”

Employment dynamics in a rapid decarbonization of the US power sector by Bücker, J, del Rio-Chanona, RM, Pichler, A, Ives, MC, Farmer, JD

“…We couple an input-output model with an occupational mobility network and identify three labor market phases: “scale-up,” “scale-down,” and a long-term, low-carbon, “steady state.” During the scale-up (2023–2034), for every job lost in an industry, 12 new jobs are created elsewhere. …”

The Ukraine crisis: another crossroads on Russia’s downward path by Pirani, S

“…The most pressing energy security issue – that millions of Ukrainians may face serious shortages of gas, electricity, and heat this winter – is downplayed, along with the long-term advantages that this crisis could produce for Ukraine if it reduces its dependence on imported gas. …”

Injustice: why social inequality still persists (revised edition) by Dorling, D

“…Economic inequalities will persist and continue to grow for as long as we tolerate the injustices which underpin them. …”

Why renewable energy could be a chance for the GCC economies by El-Katiri, L

“…The GCC economies have come a long way since the onset of the age of oil. When the first oil well was struck in Jebel Dukhan in Bahrain in 1931, few would have forecast that the fortunes of the sheikhdoms along the Gulf would be so fundamentally shaped by a single energy commodity as has turned out to be the case. …”

Convergence and stability results for the particle system in the Stein gradient descent method by Carrillo, JA, Skrzeczkowski, J

“…Not satisfied with this time scale, we explore what happens for larger times by investigating the stability of the method: if the particles are initially close to the asymptotic state, with distance O(1/N), how long will they remain close? We prove that this happens in algebraic time scales t = O( √ N) which is significantly better. …”

Vertex model with internal dissipation enables sustained flows by Rozman, J, Chaithanya, K, Yeomans, JM, Sknepnek, R

“…When coupled to cell shape anisotropy, the internal viscous dissipation allows for long-range velocity correlations and thus enables the spontaneous emergence of flows with a large degree of spatiotemporal organisation. …”

Who reads the trade marks register? by Burrell, R, Handler, M

“…This oversight has important implications for matters that someone new to the field might imagine would have been resolved long ago.…”

Gene loops juxtapose promoters and terminators in yeast. by O'Sullivan, JM, Tan-Wong, S, Morillon, A, Lee, B, Coles, J, Mellor, J, Proudfoot, N

“…Here we show that two long genes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, FMP27 and SEN1, exist in a looped conformation, effectively bringing together their promoter and terminator regions. …”

Entangled exclusions: borders, frontiers and urban geopolitics from northeast India by Das, P, Mittal, G, Sarma, J

“…An epicentre of ethnicity-based identity politics and exclusions, India's northeastern region has long been politically imagined as both a ‘frontier’ and ‘borderland’ for state control, territorialization, extractive economies and (re)developments by colonial and subsequent post-colonial regimes. …”

Forensic mental health: envisioning a more empirical future by Tully, J, Hafferty, J, Whiting, D, Dean, K, Fazel, S

“…A key concern is an insufficient evidence base to justify common practices, such as restricting leave from hospital and detaining patients for long periods. There is also insufficient quality evidence for core interventions, including psychological therapies, pharmacotherapy, and seclusion and restraint. …”

Environmental Analysis of Power Generation from Pineapple Waste by Omar, Salmah, Mohd Shafie, Shafini, Hami, Norsiah, Othman, Zakirah, Djaohari, A. Hariths Numan

“…In this regard, renewable energy resources are becoming more appealing in Malaysia for long-term energy growth. There is because Malaysia has an abundance of renewable energy sources, the most important of which are biomass and solar. …”

Improved mobility and photovoltaic performance of two-dimensional Ruddlesden−Popper (ThMA)₂(MA)₂M₃I₁₀ perovskites applied in perovskite solar cells by Sun, Ping-Ping, Kripalani, Devesh Raju, Chi, Weijie

“…Two-dimensional Ruddlesden−Popper (2DRP) perovskites have received extensive attention for perovskite solar cells (PSCs) application due to their enhanced thermal and light stability, high photoluminescence quantum yield, and long carrier lifetime. Notably, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 2DRP (ThMA)2(MA)2Pb3I10 perovskite is up to19%. …”
