Hyperbolic volume estimates via train tracks by De Capua, A

“…However, we can apply their line of proof only after some manipulation of the splitting sequence: a rearrangement, changing the order the elementary moves are performed in, so that the ones producing Dehn twists are brought together; and then an untwisting, which suppresses the majority of these latter moves to give a new sequence, which does not end with the same track as before, but does not include any portion that is almost stationary in the pants graph. …”

Characterizing the interplay between super enhancers and chromatin interactions in cancer by Choudhary, Ruchi

“…Using HiChIP experiments in five human cell lines, we discovered multiple transcription factor (TF) clusters regulating chromatin interactions between SEs/enhancers and promoters, with one hub enriched in c-MYC and YY1. …”

Rhetorical contestation and the mediterranean migration crisis, 2013-2018 by He, Wendy Qingli

“…I seek to shed new light on this policy outcome by exploring the dynamics of rhetorical contestation taking place in the context of the Mediterranean migration crisis over the course of five years (2013 to 2018). Specifically, I analyse the criticisms which were directed at the EU by a non-governmental organisation, Amnesty International (AI) and its use of ‘naming and shaming’ against the EU and Italy, a key frontline member state embroiled in the crisis. …”
