Two superconducting transitions in single-crystal La 2 − x Ba x CuO 4 by Tee, Xian Yang, Ito, T., Ushiyama, T., Tomioka, Y., Martin, I., Panagopoulos, Christos

“…We use spatially-resolved transport techniques to investigate the superconducting properties of single crystals La2−xBax CuO4. We find a superconducting transition temperature Tcs associated with the ab-plane surface region which is considerably higher than the bulk Tc. …”

Noise enhances information transfer in hierarchical networks by Czaplicka, Agnieszka, Holyst, Janusz A., Sloot, Peter M. A.

“…The second one originates from random changes in initial network topology. We find that the information transfer can be enhanced by the noise. …”

Plasmon geometric phase and plasmon hall shift by Shi, Li-kun, Song, Justin Chien Wen

“…Here we unveil that beneath this familiar facade plasmons possess a hidden internal structure that fundamentally alters its dynamics. In particular, we find that metals with nonzero Hall conductivity host plasmons with an intricate current density configuration that sharply departs from that of ordinary zero Hall conductivity metals. …”

Postprocessing East African rainfall forecasts using a generative machine learning model by Antonio, RA, McRae, ATT, McLeod, D, Cooper, F, Marsham, J, Aitchison, L, Palmer, TN, Watson, PAG

“…We explore the potential for the cGAN to produce probabilistic forecasts and find that the spread of this ensemble broadly reflects the predictability of the observations, but is also characterised by a mixture of under- and overdispersion. …”

Predictive validity of the Oxford digital multiple errands test (OxMET) for functional outcomes after stroke by Webb, SS, Demeyere, N

“…At 6-month follow up, we found a moderate predictive relationship between the OxMET accuracy and NEADL (R2 = .29, p < .001), and we did not find this prediction with MoCA taken at 6-months. …”

A versatile system for receptor-mediated gene delivery permits increased entry of DNA into target cells, enhanced delivery to the nucleus and elevated rates of transgene expression by Fisher, KD, Ulbrich, K, Subr, V, Ward, CM, Mautner, V, Blakey, D, Seymour, LW

“…This method permits versatile targeting of genes to selected cells and may also permit manipulation of intracellular trafficking. It should find several important applications in gene delivery systems both in vitro and in vivo.…”

England’s qualifications system – the politics of resilience by Meadows, M, Baird, J-A, Stringer, N, Godfrey-Faussett, T

“…Where policy values and objectives shift over time, those responsible for the system can find themselves responding to changing or conflicting priorities. …”

Investigating factors contributing to enhancer-promoter interaction by Cornell, LJ

“…This assay also revealed the unexpected importance of gene orientation relative to their enhancers, such that maximum enhancer-induced activation is achieved when the genes are in their native orientation, whilst in the reverse orientation transcription is impeded. Finally, I also find enhancer-promoter communication, in the context of the ⍺-globin locus, is partially independent from CTCF sites throughout the locus; removal of most sites individually or in combination has no effect on alpha globin expression. …”

Patterns of link reciprocity in directed, signed networks by Gallo, A, Saracco, F, Lambiotte, R, Garlaschelli, D, Squartini, T

“…In order to quantify the tendency of empirical networks to form either mutualistic or antagonistic cycles of length two, we extend the Exponential Random Graphs framework to binary, directed, signed networks with global and local constraints and, then, compare the empirical abundance of the aforementioned patterns with the one expected under each model. We find that the (directed extension of the) balance theory is not capable of providing a consistent explanation of the patterns characterising the directed, signed networks considered in this work. …”

Perennial semantic data terms of use for decentralized web by Zhao, R, Zhao, J

“…This often involves reading lengthy and complex Terms of Use agreements, a process that users often find daunting or simply ignore. This compromises user autonomy and impedes detection of data misuse. …”

Numerical simulations of laser-driven experiments of ion acceleration in stochastic magnetic fields by Moczulski, K, Wen, H, Campbell, T, Scopatz, A, Arrowsmith, C, Bott, A, Sarkar, S, Schekochihin, A, Gregori, G

“…We validate the FLASH MHD code with experimental results and use OSIRIS particle-in-cell (PIC) code to verify the initial formation of the interaction region, showing good agreement between codes and experimental results. We find that the plasma conditions in the experiment are conducive to the lower-hybrid drift instability, yielding an increase in energy ∆E of ∼ 264 keV for 242 MeV calcium ions.…”

Face validity of the arabic alphabets writing assessment instrument for children. by Too @ Ismail, Nur Aini Sunar, Abdul Ghani, Diyana Zulaika, Ibrahim, Halijah

Interplanetary space weather effects on Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter avalanche photodiode performance. by Clements, E. B., Carlton, A. K., Joyce, C. J., Schwadron, N. A., Spence, H. E., Sun, X., Cahoy, K.

“…We compare noise data from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) SiAPDs with radiation measurements from the onboard Cosmic Ray Telescope for the Effects of Radiation (CRaTER) instrument. We did not find any evidence to support radiation as the cause of changes in detector threshold voltage during radiation storms, both for transient detector noise and long-term average detector noise, suggesting that the approximately 1.3 cm thick shielding (a combination of titanium and beryllium) of the LOLA detectors is sufficient for SiAPDs on interplanetary missions with radiation environments similar to what the LRO experienced (559 cGy of radiation over 4 years).…”

“…These effects are large, corresponding to 14% of the highest recorded number of cases, 13% of deaths, and 7% of admission proportion. We also find that mask mandates are linked to a 23.4 percentage point increase in mask adherence in four diverse states. …”
