'It hurts my heart': Afghan women in London negotiating family relationships and (im)mobility regimes across borders by Ryan, Louise, López, María E., Rasa, Mursal

“…Rather than treating transnational families as a homogeneous unit, we present rich case studies to explore relationships with particular relatives, such as mothers, sisters and in‐laws, to understand the different dynamics within specific familial ties. Paying attention to the specificities of spatial contexts and infrastructures in framing opportunities and obstacles to transnational care, we apply the concept of immobility regimes. …”

Immigrants in the transnational far right: integration through racisms and negotiating white supremacy in a migratory context by Garapich, Michał P., Jochymek, Anna, Soborski, Rafał

“…Through an analysis of a case study of Polish immigrants and their descendants in Britain, we demonstrate that these omissions can be bridged by paying more attention to relational processes of constructions of whiteness, the role of systemic racism, and the increasing transnationalization of the far-right. …”

Phonon screening of excitons in atomically thin semiconductors by Lee, W, Alvertis, AM, Li, Z, Louie, SG, Filip, MR, Neaton, JB, Kioupakis, E

“…We focus on atomically thin GaN quantum wells embedded in AlN and identify specific phonons in the surrounding material, AlN, that dramatically alter the lowest-lying exciton in monolayer GaN via screening. Our studies provide new intuition beyond standard models into the interplay among structural properties, phonon characteristics, and exciton properties in atomically thin semiconductors, and have implications for future experiments.…”

Identification of RAPD markers closely linked to the mlo-locus in barley by Manninen, O.M., Turpeinen, T., Nissilä, E.

“…Seven linked RAPD markers were found, the closest lying 1.6 cM away from the resistance gene. When eight barley varieties were assayed for the presence of this band, F4-980, it was found in the resistant varieties but not in the susceptible ones. …”

Language games and Southeast Asia-United States relations, 1954-2006 by Misalucha, Charmaine Galos

“…It is argued here that Southeast Asia-US relations have experienced various types of rule from 1954 to 2006 because of the change in the language games that these states play. Paying attention to language emphasizes the constant and active participation of actors in international relations, be they superpowers or members of the so-called Third World.…”

On-demand spectrum sharing by flexible time-slotted cognitive radio networks by Chen, Xu, Huang, Jianwei, Wang, Ping, Gong, Shimin

“…The secondary users (SUs) can share the spectrum resource with primary users (PUs) in a cooperative manner, where PUs trade their information and surplus resource, and SUs access the primary spectrum intelligently based on SUs' heterogeneous demands and PUs' resource prices. After paying PUs a subscription fee for the spectrum information, SUs become spectrum-aware and avoid the overhead on spectrum sensing. …”
