Sequential phreatomagmatic eruptions during the lateral propagation of giant dyke swarms by Pryce, E, Cartwright, J, Kirkham, C, Phillips, D

“…The well data allow us to exclude crater forming mechanisms based on collapse into a void, but are consistent with those linked to phreatomagmatic eruption. We propose that the rapid cooling of dyke magma during the phreatomagmatic eruptive process was an important contributory factor in the upward arrest of dyke propagation, preventing surface extrusion and hence promoting lateral propagation.…”

Respiration modulates sleep oscillations and memory reactivation in humans by Schreiner, T, Petzka, M, Staudigl, T, Staresina, BP

“…Moreover, the strength of respiration - slow-oscillation_spindle coupling is linked to the extent of memory reactivation (i.e., classifier evidence in favour of the previously learned stimulus category) during slow-oscillation_spindles. …”

Genetics of female and male reproductive traits and their relationship with health, longevity and consequences for offspring by Benonisdottir, S, Straub, VJ, Kong, A, Mills, MC

“…Using the GWAS Catalog as a basis, from 159 relevant studies, we isolate 37 genes that harbor association signals for four or more reproductive traits, more than half of which are linked to rare Mendelian disorders, including ten genes linked to reproductive-related disorders: <em>FSHB</em>, <em>MCM8</em>, <em>DNAH2</em>, <em>WNT4</em>, <em>ESR1</em>, <em>IGSF1</em>, <em>THRB</em>, <em>BRWD1</em>, <em>CYP19A1</em> and <em>PTPRF</em>. …”

The Internationalisation of Mainland Chinese Firms into Malaysia: From Obligated Embeddedness to Active Embeddedness by Lim, Guanie

“…I argue that the Malaysian state has enjoyed success in the construction sector by nurturing cooperation between its carefully groomed government-linked companies and mainland Chinese firms. Government-linked companies are useful coalition partners for the mainland Chinese firms because of the crucial role the state plays in creating a largely non-competitive industry that favours government-linked companies. …”
