The use of paleomagnetic analysis to assess nonbrittle deformation within the San Andreas fault zone by Sieh, Kerry, Nagy, Elizabeth A.

“…A recently developed paleomagnetic extraction technique successfully permits sample collection from unconsolidated sediments. Traditional measurement and demagnetization procedures can subsequently be performed, and several studies have already shown that soft-sediment samples yield reliable magnetic polarity information. …”

Synthesis and degradation of FtsZ quantitatively predict the first cell division in starved bacteria by Sekar, Karthik, Rusconi, Roberto, Sauls, John T., Fuhrer, Tobias, Noor, Elad, Nguyen, Jen, Fernandez, Vicente I., Buffing, Marieke F., Berney, Michael, Jun, Suckjoon, Stocker, Roman, Sauer, Uwe

“…Current models are phenomenological and specific to nutrient‐rich, exponentially growing cells, thus cannot predict the first division under limiting nutrient availability. To assess this regime, we supplied starving Escherichia coli with glucose pulses at increasing frequencies. …”

Do contrasting statements improve users’ understanding of different assurance levels conveyed in assurance reports? by Low, Kin-Yew, Boo, El'fred

“…We find that, under the current reporting regime which requires the inclusion of contrasting statements only in limited assurance reports, only more informed users can differentiate the extent of assurance conveyed in limited versus reasonable assurance reports. …”

Relativistic superfluidity and vorticity from the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation by Xiong, Chi, Good, Michael R. R., Guo, Yulong, Liu, Xiaopei, Huang, Kerson

“…We investigate superfluidity, and the mechanism for creation of quantized vortices, in the relativistic regime. The general framework is a nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation in curved spacetime for a complex scalar field, whose phase dynamics gives rise to superfluidity. …”

Missing links in The China Model by Li, Chenyang

“…We should not take this book as an apologetics for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) even though it offers both positive and negative assessments of the Chinese communist regime, as any fair-minded work should. There is a tendency among scholars to avoid discussing certain topics in order not to be perceived as politically motivated to help governments with a less than commendable reputation. …”

Dynamics of time-modulated, nonlinear phononic lattices by Kim, Brian L., Chong, Christopher, Hajarolasvadi, Setare, Wang, Yifan, Daraio, Chiara

“…In the present work, the response of a one-dimensional phononic lattice with time-periodic elastic properties is studied with experimental, numerical and theoretical approaches in both linear and nonlinear regimes. The system consists of repelling magnetic masses with grounding stiffness controlled by electrical coils driven with electrical signals that vary periodically in time. …”

Plan Implementation Challenges in a Shrinking City: A Conformance Evaluation of Youngstown’s (OH) Comprehensive Plan With a Subsequent Zoning Code by Ryan, Brent D., Gao, Shuqi

“…Informants attribute the weak conformance between the comprehensive plan and the Youngstown Redevelopment Code to many of the former’s ideas not being legally defensible. Changing political regimes, shifts in public opinion, and the driving need for economic investment were also cited as contributors to this weak conformance. …”
