Ending the Syrian conflict : foreign intervention or renewed political process? by Zulkifli Mohamed Sultan

“…The massacre of more than 100 people in the west-central town of Houla last month brought condemnation of the brutal regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad by the U.N. …”

Elucidating the role of metabolic changes in modulating cell fate following treatment with anti-mitotic drugs by Wong, Alex Xing Fah

“…Better understanding of the cellular pathways underlying this escape from antimitotic drug-induced cell death, known as mitotic slippage, is crucial for development of combinatorial therapies that can enhance existing treatment regimen in patients. Mitotic slippage describes a phenomenon where cells escape mitotic arrest and cell death following treatment with anti-mitotic drugs, and "slip" into interphase without proper chromosome segregation and cytokinesis. …”

Evaluating new malaria vaccine candidates by Noé, A

“…Liver-resident memory CD8+ T cells (TRM) are necessary for protection against rodent malaria by this vaccine regimen. Ultimately, to most faithfully assess immunological responses by these local, specialised, hepatic T cells, periodic liver sampling is necessary. …”

Evaluation of subconjunctival liposomal steroids for the treatment of experimental uveitis by Wong, Chee Wai, Czarny, Bertrand, Metselaar, Josbert M., Ho, Candice, Ng, Si Rui, Barathi, Amutha Veluchamy, Storm, Gert, Wong, Tina T.

“…The current gold standard for treatment is topical steroids, but low ocular bioavailability and compliance issues with the intensive dosing regimen limit the efficacy of this treatment. Liposomes as a drug delivery system may help to overcome these problems. …”

Dynamics of localized waves in one-dimensional random potentials : statistical theory of the coherent forward scattering peak by Lee, Kean Loon, Miniatura, Christian, Grémaud, Benoît

“…Going beyond the perturbative regime, we address here the long-time dynamics of the CFS peak in a one-dimensional random system and we relate this novel interference effect to the statistical properties of the eigenfunctions and eigenspectrum of the corresponding random Hamiltonian. …”

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.…”

One-shot yield-cost relations in general quantum resource theories by Takagi, Ryuji, Regula, Bartosz, Wilde, Mark M.

“…Although it is well known that the amount of resources that can be asymptotically distilled from a quantum state or channel does not exceed the resource cost needed to produce it, the corresponding relation in the non-asymptotic regime hitherto has not been well understood. Here, we establish a quantitative relation between the one-shot distillable resource yield and dilution cost in terms of transformation errors involved in these processes. …”

High-intensity two-frequency photoassociation spectroscopy of a weakly bound molecular state : theory and experiment by Kon, W. Y., Aman, J. A., Hill, J. C., Killian, T. C., Hazzard, Kaden R. A.

“…We investigate two-frequency photoassociation of a weakly bound molecular state, focusing on a regime where the AC Stark shift is comparable to the halo-state energy. …”

Cavity-length optimization for high energy pulse generation in a long cavity passively mode-locked all-fiber ring laser by Shum, Perry Ping, Wu, Kan, Wong, Jia Haur, Aditya, Sheel, Li, Nanxi, Xue, Jin, Ouyang, Chunmei

“…However, a long cavity operating in the anomalous dispersion regime also leads to pulse broadening, which reduces the average pulse power. …”

Organic ferroelectric memory devices based on resistive switching by Damar Yoga Kusuma

“…This approach accelerates the switching kinetics as polarization reversal shifts from the nucleation-limited regime to the growth-limited regime. On the other hand, mutual combination of SAM’s fixed dipole and ferroelectric’s polarizable dipole is employed to realize ferroelectric field effect transistor devices with tailored operational parameters, reduced charge trapping and improved retention stability. …”

1-in-3 vs. not-all-equal: dichotomy of a broken promise by Ciardo, L, Kozik, M, Krokhin, A, Nakajima, T-V, Živný, S

“…In the present work, we investigate this constraint satisfaction problem in a regime where the promise is weakened from either side by a rainbow-free structure, and establish a complexity dichotomy for the resulting class of computational problems.…”

Hawking radiation of extended objects by Johnson, G, March-Russell, J

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