Optimising statistical methodologies for estimating antimalarial efficacy for uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria by Dahal, P

“…For dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (DP) regimen, a study with 42 day follow-up was estimated to miss 47% [95% CI: 19 – 90%] of the treatment failures in those who were adequately dosed. …”

Modelling the rheology of living cell cytoplasm: poroviscoelasticity and fluid-to-solid transition by Thekkethil, Namshad, Köry, Jakub, Guo, Ming, Stewart, Peter S., Hill, Nicholas A., Luo, Xiaoyu

“…Baseline simulations (neglecting the viscosity of the cytosol) indicate that the system exhibits seven different regimes across the parameter space spanned by the viscoelastic relaxation timescale of the cytoskeleton and the poroelastic diffusion timescale; these regimes agree qualitatively with experimental measurements. …”

The four worlds of ‘welfare reality’ – social risks and outcomes in Europe by Ferragina, E, Seeleib-Kaiser, M, Spreckelsen, T

“…After three decades of welfare state crisis, change and transformation can we still speak of welfare state regimes when looking at their outcomes? The analysis of outcomes provides a picture of ‘the real worlds of welfare’ and is of considerable importance to understanding political legitimacy across countries. …”

Deliberation in the Russian state Duma: from a seat of discussion to a tool of autocracy, 1996-2021 by James, N

“…Why do legislators continue to engage in parliamentary floor activities under authoritarian regimes when policy decisions and voting outcomes are often predetermined before reaching the debate stage? …”

Sequential phreatomagmatic eruptions during the lateral propagation of giant dyke swarms by Pryce, E, Cartwright, J, Kirkham, C, Phillips, D

“…Craters are flanked by a tephra apron comprising reworked chalky sediments. The well data allow us to exclude crater forming mechanisms based on collapse into a void, but are consistent with those linked to phreatomagmatic eruption. …”

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. …”

Forces on oscillating uniform and tapered cylinders in a crossflow by Hover, F. S., Techet, A. H., Triantafyllou, M.S.

“…Calculation of the cross-correlation coefficient between forces at the two ends of the uniform cylinder reveals five distinct regimes as a function of the nominal reduced velocity Vrn: two regimes, for low and high values of Vrn, and far away from the value of VrS corresponding to the Strouhal frequency, show small correlation; two regimes immediately adjacent to, but excluding, VrS show strong correlation, close to 1; surprisingly, there is a regime containing the Strouhal frequency, within which correlation is low. …”
