PUERTO RICO : A NATIONAL HISTORY / by Meléndez Badillo, Jorell A., author 656083

“…This resulted in the proliferation of unsuccessful slave revolts and, in 1868, an insurrection that declared the Republic of Puerto Rico, which only lasted 48 hours. Puerto Rico's major regime change came in 1898 with the US occupation. …”

Mechanism of traffic jams at speed bottlenecks by Quek, Wei Liang, Chew, Lock Yue

“…In this paper, the interactions between traffic flow and road topology will be studied, particularly the relationship between a sharp bend in a road segment and traffic jams. As suggested by Sugiyama[1], when car density exceeds a critical density, the fluctuations in the speed of each car will lead to greater fluctuations in speed of the cars behind it. …”

Ultrafast modulation of exciton – plasmon coupling in a monolayer WS2 – Ag nanodisk hybrid system by Du, Wei, Zhao, Jiaxin, Zhao, Weijie, Zhang, Shunping, Xu, Hongxing, Xiong, Qihua

“…Utilizing transient absorption pump–probe spectroscopy, here we report an ultrafast modulation of the exciton–plasmon coupling in a monolayer WS2–Ag nanodisk hybrid system that displays Fano resonance at the steady-state regime. Specifically, the instant switch-off of the Fano resonance was observed upon the femtosecond pump excitation, characterized by the photoinduced absorption signal at the Fano resonance frequency. …”

A BIT does go a long way: the positive effect of bilateral investment treaties on China's foreign direct investment inflows by Liow, Karyn Sze Min

“…Such heterogeneous treatment effects suggest that China’s BIT policy in the 1980s was a strategic one – it selectively concluded BITs with the most promising economic partners in the early period of its BIT regime. It then gradually broadened the BIT network to more partner countries as its diplomatic relations expanded over time.…”

Dimensionality-dependent type-II Weyl semimetal state in Mo₀.₂₅W₀.₇₅Te₂ by Li, Peiling, Deng, Ya, Hsu, Chuang-Han, Zhu, Chao, Cui, Jian, Yang, Xue, Zhou, Jiadong, Hung, Yi-Chun, Fan, Jie, Ji, Zhongqing, Qu, Fanming, Shen, Jie, Yang, Changli, Jing, Xiunian, Lin, Hsin, Liu, Zheng, Lu, Li, Liu, Guangtong

“…Here, by selecting a special sample with the thickness gradient across two- (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) regime, we show strong evidences that Mo$_{0.25}$W$_{0.75}$Te$_{2}$ is a type-II Weyl semimetal by observing the following two dimensionality-dependent transport features: 1) A chiral-anomaly-induced anisotropic magneto-conductivity enhancement, proportional to the square of in-plane magnetic field (B$_{in}$$^{2}$); 2) An additional quantum oscillation with thickness-dependent phase shift. …”

Transient dynamics of a one-dimensional Holstein polaron under the influence of an external electric field by Huang, Zhongkai, Chen, Lipeng, Zhou, Nengji, Zhao, Yang

“…In particular, at variance with the case of an infinite linear chain, no steady state is found in a finite-sized ring within the anti-adiabatic regime. For strong diagonal coupling, the multi-math formula Anstaz is found to be highly accurate, and the phonon confinement gives rise to exciton localization and decay of the Bloch oscillations.…”
