Envisioning Water: Sustainability and Future-Making in Dubai and Los Angeles by Christidi, Nadia

“…Second, I consider how these interests, forces, and effects emerge from and get mediated through entrenched structures like bureaucratic systems, accumulation regimes, and sunken investments, which produce a stickiness to infrastructures and infrastructural visions that renders change challenging, slow, and incremental. …”

Mechanics of Three-Dimensional Micro-Architected Interpenetrating Phase Composites by Chen, Andrew Y.

“…Using these prototypes, we study the mechanical behavior of the fabricated composites under uniaxial compression, with particular emphasis on the non-linear and failure regimes. We show that independent of the material system, the presence of a load-bearing matrix distributes the stress in the composite, contributing to a high-strength, globally stretchingdominated failure behavior, regardless of nodal connectivity. …”

A Branched Convolutional Neural Network for Forecasting the Occurrence of Hazes in Paris Using Meteorological Maps with Different Characteristic Spatial Scales by Wang, Chien

“…The strategy is to make the machine learn from available historical data to recognize various regional weather and hydrological regimes associated with low-visibility events. To better preserve the characteristic spatial information of input features in training, two branched architectures have recently been developed. …”

Sages, smokers, sojourners : the religion of the void in China and Southeast Asia by Soh, Esmond Chuah Meng

“…The Zhenkongjiao 真空教, alias the Great Way Within Emptiness 空中大道, refers to a Chinese religious movement whose emergence in twentieth-century southeast China and Southeast Asia was characterized by its rehabilitation of opium-addicts with meditation regimes and tea-drinking rituals. This thesis discusses the institutions, beliefs, and the rituals of the Zhenkongjiao in East and Southeast Asia throughout the twentieth- and twenty-first centuries. …”

Computation fluid dynamics on drag reduction II by Zang, Bin

“…Lastly, the grid size and RANS models are subjected to further verification to ensure the observations and calculations are indeed trustworthy and relatively accurate by studying skin friction coefficient and comparing to empirical formula; also by simulating more complex dimpled flow with different Reynolds number regimes. The result establishes agreements in friction coefficient while the simulation of complex flow doe s not. …”

Microfluidic studies on flow manipulation to assist metastasis research by Tran, Duc Quang

“…Our findings demonstrate that the cellular aggregate behaves under the interstitial flow following two regimes: poroelasticity and solid plasticity, which are separated at a transient point, corresponding to fracture happened inside the cellular aggregate. …”

Uncertainty & robustness for single-cell studies by Shiffman, Miriam

“…At the same time, these technologies present particular statistical and computational challenges, including noise, sparsity, technical and biological variability, and multilevel sampling regimes. To distill relevant signal from biological phenomena, then, analyses must combine information in a careful and coherent way across cells. …”

Beyond Color: Lattice Gauge Theory for Strongly-Coupled Physics by Oare, Patrick R.

“…Despite this, it remains difficult to compute QCD observables because QCD is strongly-coupled, and typical perturbative methods used in QFT only work in specific regimes of validity for QCD. The most successful ab initio method to study QCD is Lattice Gauge Theory (LGT). …”

History dependence of the microstructure on time-dependent deformation during in-situ cooling of a nickel-based single-crystal superalloy by Panwisawas, Chinnapat, D’Souza, Neil, Collins, David M., Bhowmik, Ayan, Roebuck, Bryan

“…Time-dependent plastic deformation through stress relaxation and creep deformation during in-situ cooling of the as-cast single-crystal superalloy CMSX-4® has been studied via neutron diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, electro-thermal miniature testing, and analytical modeling across two temperature regimes. Between 1000 °C and 900 °C, stress relaxation prevails and gives rise to softening as evidenced by a decreased dislocation density and the presence of long segment stacking faults in γ phase. …”

Efficacy of cannabinoids for the prophylaxis of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting—a systematic review and meta-analysis by Chow, R, Basu, A, Kaur, J, Hui, D, Im, J, Prsic, E, Boldt, G, Lock, M, Eng, L, Ng, TL, Zimmermann, C, Scotte, F

“…However, there was no difference between cannabinoid and active treatment alternatives (most using dated single-agent regimens) for any outcomes. A recent phase II/III trial demonstrated superior efficacy of THC:CBD for secondary prevention of CINV when used as adjunctive therapy alongside modern antiemetic regimens, albeit mostly without olanzapine. …”

Introduction - Oxford Energy Forum – Issue, 98

“…The problem is that lower oil revenues also affect industry, forcing operators to review their investment portfolios to focus on the best regimes and geological prospects.</p> <p>The region’s recent positive developments are taking place against a background where a large number of countries in the region (including Argentina, Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, French Guyana, and Suriname) have fallen out of favour with oil and gas investors, in some cases for a number of years. …”

Managing oil palm plantations more sustainably : large-scale experiments within the Biodiversity and Ecosystem Function in Tropical Agriculture (BEFTA) Programme by Luke, Sarah H., Advento, Andreas Dwi, Aryawan, Anak Agung Ketut, Adhy, Dwi Nugroho, Ashton-Butt, Adham, Barclay, Holly, Dewi, Jassica Prajna, Drewer, Julia, Dumbrell, Alex J., Edi, Eycott, Amy E., Harianja, Martina F., Hinsch, Julie K., Hood, Amelia S.
