Extended X-ray absorption spectroscopy using an ultrashort pulse laboratory-scale laser-plasma accelerator by Kettle, B, Colgan, C, Los, EE, Gerstmayr, E, Streeter, MJV, Albert, F, Astbury, S, Baggott, RA, Cavanagh, N, Falk, K, Hyde, TI, Lundh, O, Rajeev, PP, Riley, D, Rose, SJ, Sarri, G, Spindloe, C, Svendsen, K, Symes, DR, Šmíd, M, Thomas, AGR, Thornton, C, Watt, R, Mangles, SPD

“…This capability will allow the investigation of ultrafast processes, and in particular, probing high-energy-density matter and physics far-from-equilibrium where the sample refresh rate is slow and shot number is limited. For example, states that replicate the tremendous pressures and temperatures of planetary bodies or the conditions inside nuclear fusion reactions. …”

Free3D: consistent novel view synthesis without 3D representation by Zheng, C, Vedaldi, A

“…Compared to other works that took a similar approach, we obtain significant improvements without resorting to an explicit 3D representation, which is slow and memory-consuming, and without training an additional network for 3D reconstruction. …”

Advancing the chemotherapy of tuberculous meningitis: a consensus view by Wasserman, S, Donovan, J, Kestelyn, E, Watson, JA, Aarnoutse, RE, Barnacle, JR, Boulware, DR, Chow, FC, Cresswell, FV, Davis, AG, Dooley, KE, Figaji, AA, Gibb, DM, Huynh, J, Imran, D, Marais, S, Meya, DB, Misra, UK, Modi, M, Raberahona, M, Ganiem, AR, Rohlwink, UK, Ruslami, R, Seddon, JA, Skolimowska, KH, Solomons, RS, Stek, CJ, Thuong, NTT, van Crevel, R, Whitaker, C, Thwaites, GE, Wilkinson, RJ

“…Yet, to date, tuberculous meningitis trials have been small, underpowered, heterogeneous, poorly generalisable, and have had little effect on policy and practice. Progress is slow, and a new approach is required. In this Personal View, a global consortium of tuberculous meningitis researchers articulate a coordinated, definitive way ahead via globally conducted clinical trials of novel drugs and regimens to advance treatment and improve outcomes for this life-threatening infection.…”

Object counting for intelligent video surveillance by Zhang, Haobo

Negative cognitions about the self in patients with persecutory delusions: An empirical study of self-compassion, self-stigma, schematic beliefs, self-esteem, fear of madness, and... by Collett, N, Pugh, K, Waite, F, Freeman, D

“…These are likely to prove targets of clinical interventions, with patient preference most likely determining the best conceptualisation of negative self cognitions for clinicians to use.…”

Efficient algorithms for embedded optimisation-based control by Dang, Van Thuy

“…Numerical simulations show that performance in terms of empirical closed-loop cost, channel utilisation and regions for stochastic stability guarantees could be improved, compared with the existing E-SAC. …”

Indicators of global climate change 2022: annual update of large-scale indicators of the state of the climate system and human influence by Forster, PM, Smith, CJ, Walsh, T, Lamb, WF, Lamboll, R, Hauser, M, Ribes, A, Rosen, D, Gillett, N, Palmer, MD, Rogelj, J, von Schuckmann, K, Seneviratne, SI, Trewin, B, Zhang, X, Allen, M, Andrew, R, Birt, A, Borger, A, Boyer, T, Broersma, JA, Cheng, L, Dentener, F, Friedlingstein, P, Gutiérrez, JM, Gütschow, J, Hall, B, Ishii, M, Jenkins, S, Lan, X, Lee, J-Y, Morice, C, Kadow, C, Kennedy, J, Killick, R, Minx, JC, Naik, V, Peters, GP, Pirani, A, Pongratz, J, Schleussner, C-F, Szopa, S, Thorne, P, Rohde, R, Rojas Corradi, M, Schumacher, D, Vose, R, Zickfeld, K, Masson-Delmotte, V, Zhai, P

“…</p> <p>The indicators show that human-induced warming reached 1.14 [0.9 to 1.4]&thinsp;^∘C averaged over the 2013&ndash;2022 decade and 1.26 [1.0 to 1.6]&thinsp;^∘C in 2022. …”

First-principles study of the lattice dynamics of Sb2S3 by Liu, Yun, Eddie Chua, Kun Ting, Sum, Tze Chien, Gan, Chee Kwan

“…Zone-center frequencies agree well with Raman scattering experiments. Due to the slow decay of the interatomic force constants (IFC), a minimal 2 × 4 × 2 supercell (Pnma setting) with 320 atoms is crucial for an accurate determination of the dispersion relations. …”

Enhanced coupled-resonator-induced transparency and optical fano resonance via intracavity backscattering by Ang, Thomas Y. L., Ngo, Nam Quoc

“…Also, the use of intracavity backscattering allows the simultaneous production of both fast and slow light effects. In addition, it is found that the symmetric CRIT peaks can be reshaped into asymmetric OFR line shapes either by using TWMRs with different intracavity backscattering strengths when one input is launched into the circuit or by modulating the phase/amplitude difference between the dual contrapropagating inputs, which are launched into the circuit in the presence of intracavity backscattering. …”

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

“…The full polaron results are accurate for the entire range of coupling for a fast bath but only in the strong coupling regime for a slow bath. The variational method is capable of interpolating between these two methods and is valid over a much broader range of parameters.…”

Spatial skill premium along the process of structural transformation by Qin, Jin, Chen, Zhuo, Zhao, Yunyi

“…Increasing demand for skilled workers induced by the skill-biased structural change, together with the increasing supply of skilled worker driven by educational reform exert an ambiguous impact on the skill premium, the relative price levels, and the resulting labor distribution in China. These bring up the questions: How will the changes in skilled worker demand and supply together affect the wage inequality and the social welfare over time? …”
