An emerging Asian model of governance and transnational knowledge transfer : an introduction by Liu, Hong, Wang, Tingyan

“…Based upon the existing literature and critical reflections, the authors propose a preliminary analytical framework for an emerging Asian model of governance by incorporating two interlinked phenomena: shared cultural, historical norms and trajectories, and intra-regional transnational knowledge transfer. Six articles constituting the special issue are also briefly introduced within this framework, with the aim of contributing to a better understanding of Asian governance experiences and theoretical debates on the evolving modes of public governance.…”

Simulation of national-scale groundwater dynamics in geologically complex aquifer systems: an example from Great Britain by Bianchi, M, Scheidegger, J, Hughes, A, Jackson, C, Lee, J, Lewis, M, Mansour, M, Newell, A, O’Dochartaigh, B, Patton, A, Dadson, S

“…In this work, the model was applied to understand the variability of budget components across multiple spatial and temporal scales. Comparisons showed regional differences linked to lithological and climatic factors, which in turn can be associated with more or less groundwater resilience to extreme climatic events. …”

Leveraging or overcoming distance? Global strategy and structure of professional service firms by Sako, M, Peo, J

“…When the logic of distance-as-barrier is upheld, PSFs give greater autonomy to local units or establish loosely connected regionally autonomous partnerships. By highlighting the co-evolution between professional governance and professional practice we further show that greater distance necessitates professional work to be more codified and modularized, while proximity preserves professional work’s bespoke nature. …”

Non-equilibrium fluctuations for a spatial logistic branching process with weak competition by Tendron, T

“…We consider the weak competition regime where <em>c</em> tends to zero, corresponding to a local carrying capacity tending to infinity like 1/<em>c</em> as <em>c</em> vanishes.…”

A study on dense plasmas using molecular dynamics and X-ray scattering techniques by Mabey, P

“…The results are compared to recent experimental data, suggesting electron-ion dynamical effects could play a crucial role in the dynamic properties of matter in the WDM regime.</p>…”

Coherently tunable triangular trefoil phaseonium metamaterial by Soci, Cesare, Nguyen, Duc Minh, Ooi, Raymond C. H.

“…We find that, in the metallic regime, the phaseonium metamaterial structure supports extremely large transmission, with optical amplification at large enough intensity of the microwave thanks to strong surface plasmon coupling; while, in the dielectric regime without microwave excitation, the transmission bandwidth can be tuned by varying the control beam intensity. …”

China's expectations for university students' employment outlook: A qualitative analysis based on employment policy documents by Zhang, Ziran, Hasan, Ahmad

“…The analysis identifies four central themes: career direction, industry alignment, regional guidance, and employer type. The findings highlight a focus on value orientation, grassroots employment, and diverse career paths, urging graduates to combine personal goals with national development, seeking grassroots jobs, and exploring new economic opportunities.…”

China's changing trade pattern by Ren, Li

“…While others have viewed that it reflected changes in China’s economic structure and associated shifts in its role within regional and global production chains. This study tries to find some in-depth structure of China’s export and import by estimating export and import with equations in order to have some insight of the trade surplus. …”

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. …”

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. …”
