Criteria for Crack Formation and Air Invasion in Drying Colloidal Suspensions by Lilin, Paul, Bischofberger, Irmgard

“…We show that the pressure inside the deposit controls both the onset of crack formation and the onset of air invasion. Two distinct regimes of air invasion occur, which we can account for using the same model that further provides a quantitative criterion for the crossover between the two regimes.…”

Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking in a Polariton and Photon Laser by Ohadi, H., Kammann, E., Liew, Timothy Chi Hin, Lagoudakis, K. G., Kavokin, A. V., Lagoudakis, P. G.

“…We report on the simultaneous observation of spontaneous symmetry breaking and long-range spatial coherence both in the strong- and the weak-coupling regime in a semiconductor microcavity. Under pulsed excitation, the formation of a stochastic order parameter is observed in polariton and photon lasing regimes. …”

Hobbes and the tragedy of democracy by Holman, Christopher

“…For Hobbes these two conditions combine to render democracy a tragic regime. Democracy is tragic to the extent that it must be a regime of self-limitation, there existing no ethical standard external to society that may intervene so as to guide our political self-activity, and yet the structure of deliberation in democratic assemblies tends to render such self-limitation impossible. …”

Shi'ism, politics, and identity in Bahrain by Tan, Feng Qin

“…A 'naive' view of identity sees it as straightforwardly and deterministically causative, but if so the 2011 Pearl Uprising in Bahrain appears a paradox - a primarily secular episode of political contestation in a country with a Shi'a majority, against a Sunni dominated regime, in a political realm with a Shi'a Islamist-dominated opposition. …”

Disciplining the state: virtue, violence, and state-making in modern China by Thornton, P

“…Thornton offers a historical reading of the state-making process as a contest between central and local regimes of bureaucratic and discursive practice.…”

Dynamical blockade in a single-mode bosonic system by Ghosh, Sanjib, Liew, Timothy Chi Hin

“…We find that the underlying mechanism for the blockade is general, enhancing antibunching in the strongly nonlinear regime and inducing it in the weakly nonlinear regime, without fine-tuning the system parameters. …”

On shear adhesion of adhesive fibrils by Linghu, Changhong, Du, Zihao, Sun, Yi, Chen, Weiqiu, Hsia, K. Jimmy

“…Based on this compliance solution, a rigorous scaling law for shear adhesion strength is derived, which can predict the energy-controlled adhesion regime as well as the theoretical strength-limited regime, as the aspect ratio decreases. …”

MU'TAQAL Machine: Power, Gender and Identity in Egypt's Political Prisons, 1948-1981 by Ashmawi, HE

“…<p>This thesis charts the history and evolution of a mass-incarcerating regime of detention, disappearance and torture in Egypt between 1948 and 1981. …”

Gelation, clustering, and crowding in the electrical double layer of ionic liquids by Goodwin, Zachary AH, McEldrew, Michael, Pedro de Souza, J, Bazant, Martin Z, Kornyshev, Alexei A

“…With increasing charge of the electrode, the theory predicts a transition from a regime dominated by a gelled or clustered state to a crowding regime dominated by free ions. …”

Non-equilibrium fluctuations for a spatial logistic branching process with weak competition by Tendron, T

“…We consider the weak competition regime where <em>c</em> tends to zero, corresponding to a local carrying capacity tending to infinity like 1/<em>c</em> as <em>c</em> vanishes.…”

A study on dense plasmas using molecular dynamics and X-ray scattering techniques by Mabey, P

“…The results are compared to recent experimental data, suggesting electron-ion dynamical effects could play a crucial role in the dynamic properties of matter in the WDM regime.</p>…”

Organic ferroelectric memory devices based on resistive switching by Damar Yoga Kusuma

“…This approach accelerates the switching kinetics as polarization reversal shifts from the nucleation-limited regime to the growth-limited regime. On the other hand, mutual combination of SAM’s fixed dipole and ferroelectric’s polarizable dipole is employed to realize ferroelectric field effect transistor devices with tailored operational parameters, reduced charge trapping and improved retention stability. …”

Can the war on Iraq bring democracy to the Middle East? by Bouchaib Silm.

“…The war on Iraq was based on insufficient documents that failed to provide legitimization to the war, and also sought to criminalize Saddam's regime. As a result, the idea of a democratic Middle East is facing criticism. …”

Effects of resonant tunneling and dynamics of coherent interaction on intrinsic linewidth of quantum cascade lasers by Liu, Tao, Lee, Kenneth E., Wang, Qi Jie

“…Results show that the coupling strength and the dephasing rate associated with resonant tunneling strongly affect the linewidth of THz QCLs in the incoherent resonant-tunneling transport regime but only induce little influence in the coherent regime. …”
