Prediction and prevention of disproportionally dominant agents in complex networks by Lera, Sandro Claudio, Pentland, Alex, Sornette, Didier

“…We derive an exact four-dimensional phase diagram that separates the growing system into two regimes: one where the “fit get richer” and one where, eventually, the WTA. …”

Assessment of novel pre-erythrocytic malaria vaccines in humans by Venkatraman, N

“…ChAd63-MVA ME-TRAP is a regime that has been developed in the Jenner Institute and the first of the clinical trials described in Chapter 3 assesses the safety and immunogenicity of adjuvanting this regime with a novel saponin-based adjuvant, Matrix-M^TM. …”

Exploring connections between seagrass ecosystem services and meadow hydrodynamics by Schaefer, Rachel

“…Second, field experiments were performed in three Massachusetts, USA seagrass meadows to relate spatial patterns in hydrodynamics with spatial patterns in sediment organic carbon. Lower velocities were expected to reduce sediment mobility and thus enhance the deposition and retention of sediment carbon. …”

MU'TAQAL Machine: Power, Gender and Identity in Egypt's Political Prisons, 1948-1981 by Ashmawi, HE

“…<p>This thesis charts the history and evolution of a mass-incarcerating regime of detention, disappearance and torture in Egypt between 1948 and 1981. …”

Tectono-stratigraphic evolution of the foreland fold-and-thrust belt of the United Arab Emirates by Abdelmaksoud, A, Ali, MY, Searle, MP

“…Two different tectonic regimes are identified in the FTB. The northern regime is characterized by major inversion of the rift faults with up to 3,700 m throw, whereas the southern regime has a major pop-up structure with possible basement origin. …”

Point-Defect Segregation and Space-Charge Potentials at the &Sigma;5(310)[001] Grain Boundary in Ceria by Usler, Adrian L., Heelweg, Henrik J., De Souza, Roger A., Genreith-Schriever, Annalena R.

“…Nevertheless, the space-charge potential in the restricted-equilibrium regime can be described well with an empirical model employing a single effective oxygen-vacancy segregation energy.…”

Accuracy of second order perturbation theory in the polaron and variational polaron frames by Lee, Chee Kong, Moix, Jeremy, Cao, Jianshu

“…In the study of open quantum systems, the polaron transformation has recently attracted a renewed interest as it offers the possibility to explore the strong system-bath coupling regime. Despite this interest, a clear and unambiguous analysis of the regimes of validity of the polaron transformation is still lacking. …”

Orbital stability in a classical pilot-wave system by Liu, Nicholas Z.

“…We conduct an analytical investigation into the stability of circular orbits using a generalised theoretical framework that allows for an exploration of classical pilotwave dynamics both inside and outside the experimentally accessible parameter regime. The exploration of parameter regimes beyond those accessible with the hydrodynamic system reveals much richer orbital dynamics. …”

Shi'ism, politics, and identity in Bahrain by Tan, Feng Qin

“…A 'naive' view of identity sees it as straightforwardly and deterministically causative, but if so the 2011 Pearl Uprising in Bahrain appears a paradox - a primarily secular episode of political contestation in a country with a Shi'a majority, against a Sunni dominated regime, in a political realm with a Shi'a Islamist-dominated opposition. …”

Disciplining the state: virtue, violence, and state-making in modern China by Thornton, P

“…Thornton offers a historical reading of the state-making process as a contest between central and local regimes of bureaucratic and discursive practice.…”

Mathematical modelling of subglacial drainage and erosion by Ng, FSL

“…In this thesis, we substantiate these developments by exploring a detailed model where the channel is underlain by subglacial till and the flow supports a sediment load. Attention is given to the physics of bed processes and its effect on channel morphology. …”

Confined jet impingement boiling in a chamber with staggered pillars by Qiu, Lu, Dubey, Swapnil, Choo, Fook Hoong, Duan, Fei

“…The reasonable agreements have been reached. Three different regimes are identified based on the captured images. …”

Injection effects on settling velocity by Le, Duc Anh

“…Settling is a process by which particulates that experience forces fall to the bottom of a liquid and form sediment at the vessel base. The terminal velocity or settling velocity of particle is an important parameter in sediment transport. …”

Role of different dendritic cell subsets in vivo by Abdul Rashid Mohammad Muzaki

“…In a dextran sodium sulphate (DSS) model of colonic inflammation, ablation of CD103+ CD11b- colonic DCs resulted in exacerbated colitis, while ablation of colonic CD103+ CD11b+ DCs resulted in resistance to colitis when subjected to the same DSS regiment. Hence our results highlight the opposing roles of these two distinct colonic DC subsets in controlling DSS-induced colonic inflammation. …”

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. …”
