Marital instability in the context of dramatic societal change : the case of Kyrgyzstan by Dommaraju, Premchand, Agadjanian, Victor

“…Using detailed and rich data from Kyrgyzstan, the study investigates trends over time in marital instability in response to societal upheavals and gradual secular transformations; ethnic group-specific responses in marital instability; and the role of changing gender regimes in marital instability. The findings reveal an increase in the rate of marital dissolution over time. …”

On a submerged wave energy converter with snap-through power take-off by Wang, Lixian, Tang, Hui, Wu, Yanhua

“…With larger waves impacting on the WEC, the conversion efficiency of the present nonlinear PTO increases significantly. Three response regimes, i.e. local oscillation, aperiodic snap-through, and periodic snap-through, of the nonlinear PTO system are observed with various wave amplitudes. …”

An experimental investigation on finite wings with leading-edge protuberances by Teo, Marcus Jun Jie

“…Fluid flow characteristics of wings with leading edge tubercles were experimentally investigated in a water tunnel at a Reynolds number of 13292, falling under the transitional Reynolds regime. This experiment is meant to be continuation of a pre-existing experimental study examining fluid flow characteristics of wings but with differing dimensions. …”

Non-Markovian refrigeration and heat flow in the quantum switch by Cheong, Jian Wei, Pradana, Andri, Chew, Lock Yue

“…In particular, we compare the quantum switch to the superposition of independent channels where two quantum channels are placed in a superposition, which have no non-Markovian effects, and show that the quantum switch can only outperform the superposition of independent channels in the prethermalization regimes, which also depends on the presence and amount of non-Markovianity. …”

Irreverence intended? Destabilizing ‘intent’ as determinative in discourse around satire at the ECtHR by Hussain, H, Sanghi, S

“…By interpreting legal discourse around satire at the ECtHR and interrogating the suitability of prevalent tests and defences pertaining to satirical expressions, we advocate for the emergence of a shared framework within humour regimes to facilitate a relatively better communal understanding of satire and its permissible limits. …”

Effect of activation energy on detonation cellular dynamics and reinitiation behaviors by Tang, S, Zhang, S, Lai, S, Fang, X

“…The effect of activation energy in detonation attenuation is further studied through a detonation propagation over a semicylinder obstacle, where two distinct detonation attenuation regimes are captured, including unattenuated detonation transmission (ℰ=2,4E=2,4) and critical detonation reinitiation (ℰ=6,10E=6,10). …”

Replacement of Artemia with Moina micrura in the rearing of freshwater shrimp larvae by Alam, M. J., Ang, K. J., Begum, M.

“…The control treatment consisted of feeding Artemia throughout the rearing period (regime A), while in the other treatments the onset of Moina feeding was arbitrarily chosen at larval stages iv (A3M), vi (A5M), viii (A7M) and x (A9M). …”
