READY PLAYER ONE / by Cline, Ernest, author 655943

“…Famine, poverty, and disease are widespread. Like most of humanity, Wade Watts escapes this depressing reality by spending his waking hours jacked into the OASIS, a sprawling virtual utopia where you can be anything you want to be, where you can live and play and fall in love on any of ten thousand planets. …”

The ethics of silence : reading the lover's discourse in contemporary trauma narratives by Goh, Pei Hua

“…In Testimony, Felman and Laub contend that a historical and collective trauma like the Holocaust cannot be represented, and cannot be understood, because it lacks a frame of reference. …”

Mechanics of fracture and flexure in Antarctic ice sheets and ice shelves by Zhang, H

“…To explore the effect of subglacial hydrology on the grounding line (GL) and tidal flexure, in Chapter 4, I develop a model combining a viscoelastic ice stream and subglacial hydrology. …”

Functional characterization of orexin system by Chua, Peiling

“…Orexin, which has been known to be involved in feeding and sleep-wake cycle, might have antidepressant-like effects. Researches indicate that depression might be associated with nucleus accumbens and its dopaminergic inputs from ventral tegmental area, which make up the mesolimbic dopamine system. …”

Sound and smoke propagation models for virtual crowd environments by Vaisagh Viswanathan Thattamparambil

“…Virtual crowd simulations are important for various applications like defense, social studies, etc. While literature exists on agent design and sensor modeling, there is still no generic model for sound and smoke propagation that can be integrated into existing virtual crowd simulation frameworks. …”

Moments of the Riemannn zeta function and log-correlated random variables by Curran, MJ

“…We then move on to study the problem of moments of moments of zeta and the closely related problem of estimating shifted moments of zeta on the half line. Moments of moments of zeta were introduced by Fyodorov and Keating [42] in order to understand the value distribution of zeta in short intervals on the critical line. …”

NiMn-based bimetal-organic framework nanosheets supported on multi-channel carbon fibers for efficient oxygen electrocatalysis by Cheng, Weiren, Lu, Xue Feng, Luan, Deyan, Lou, David Xiong Wen

“…Owing to the desired components and architecture, the MCCF/NiMn-MOFs manifest comparable electrocatalytic performance towards oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) with the commercial Pt/C electrocatalyst and superior performance towards oxygen evolution reaction (OER) to the benchmark RuO2 electrocatalyst. X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the strong synergetic effect of adjacent Ni and Mn nodes within MCCF/NiMn-MOFs effectively promotes the thermodynamic formation of key *O and *OOH intermediates over active NiO6 centers towards fast ORR and OER kinetics.…”
