Delocalized Davydov D1 Ansatz for the Holstein polaron by Sun, Jin, Duan, Liwei, Zhao, Yang

“…The delocalized D1 Ansatz lowers the ground-state energies at the Brillouin zone boundary significantly compared with the Toyozawa and Global-Local Ansätze in the weak coupling regime, while considerable improvement is demonstrated to have been achieved over the entire Brillouin zone in the strong coupling regime. …”

Factors affecting trans-scleral transport of poly (butadiene-b-ethylene oxide) polymersomes by Anita, Vincent

“…Periocular drug delivery presents an alternative treatment strategy for posterior segment eye disease (PSEDs) by administering drugs into the periocular space surrounding the eye orbit; the drugs then diffuse from this space across the sclera and choroid into the posterior segment of the eye, allowing for improved bioavailability and therapeutic effect. …”

Complexities of the San Andreas fault near San Gorgonio Pass : implications for large earthquakes by Yule, Doug, Sieh, Kerry

“…Within a 20-km-wide contractional stepover between two segments of the fault zone, the San Bernardino and Coachella Valley segments, folds, and dextral-reverse and dextral-normal faults form an east-west belt of active structures. …”

Effect of strong electric fields on material responses : the Bloch oscillation resonance in high field conductivities by Singh, Satyvir, Battiato, Marco

“…We then extend the method to strong electric fields and show how the responses are deviated from the low-field ones and the transition to a dampened Bloch oscillation regime. Most importantly, we report the observation of a new regime induced by the resonance between the standard low-field response and Bloch oscillations.…”

Labeling of names in the video stream by Li, Hui Ting.

“…Firstly, the training data sets of Jackie Chan and Non-Jackie Chan must be prepared. The video needs to segment to frames and pick up those key frames as the test images. …”

Automated multisensor polyhedral model acquisition by Ortin, D, Montiel, JMM, Zisserman, A

“…The vision algorithms are then able to compute a very accurate registration (via a plane to plane homography) which is used to segment the model into planar facets, and to improve the estimate of the model and sensor position. …”

Comparative study of telecommunications policies in Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore. by Chong, Patrick Piang Teng., Low, Kwong Hwee., Lum, Phyllis Siu Lin.

ESG reporting in Singapore by Sim, Chai Ying, Jiang, Weiying, Lim, Daryl Ming Wei

“…Through our research, we observed that the local scene requires more effort in sustainability reporting, especially in the Environment and Social segments. Our results reflect that there is inadequate disclosure of information regarding sustainability in Singapore, across the various industries and amongst firms of different market capitalisation.…”

Fluid-fluid displacement in porous-media microfluidics by Qiu, Yu

“…We first develop a phase-field model to simulate two-phase flow with moving contact lines in the partial wetting regime. We construct a self-consistent formulation of fluid-solid surface energy which allows prescribing arbitrary static contact angles. …”

Deep neural networks have an inbuilt Occam’s razor by Mingard, C, Rees, H, Valle-Pérez, G, Louis, AA

“…The prior over functions is determined by the network architecture, which we vary by exploiting a transition between ordered and chaotic regimes. For Boolean function classification, we approximate the likelihood using the error spectrum of functions on data. …”

Profiting from prestige: the political economy of mega-events in Azerbaijan by Laporte, J

“…By problematising the direction of causality between mega-events and rentseeking behaviour, this analysis expands current theories on states’ motivations for hosting these events and contributes to existing understandings about how these proceedings serve to support and sustain rentier regimes.…”

Conflict abroad and political trust at home evidence from a natural experiment by Klymak, M, Vlandas, T

“…Further analyses using other surveys and previous conflicts suggest this effect depends on proximity to the conflict and the political regimes of the attacked country. These findings contribute to our understanding of the complex and indirect effects of conflicts on domestic political trust.…”
