British women's experiences of drinking alcohol: Dynamics of emotional proximity and distance by Stepney, M

“…In this paper I draw on debates around emotional intimacy, ideas of ‘closeness’ and ‘distance’ to explore how this might work when young women go out and drink alcohol. Drawing on in-depth interviews with 25 British undergraduate female students aged 18–25, this research suggests that one of the compelling appeals of alcohol is that it creates a ‘space of suspension’, whereby feelings of being both close and distant (intimate proximity) coexist, often for strategic reasons associated with security. …”

Migration of magnetic microparticles through a liquid–liquid interface under an external magnetic field by Mondal, S, Abbasi, N, Tsai, SSH, Griffiths, IM

“…We consider a canonical flow configuration in which particle motion is driven by the stagnation-point flow that is generated when two different liquids flow towards one another. …”

Anatomically plausible segmentations: explicitly preserving topology through prior deformations by Wyburd, MK, Dinsdale, NK, Jenkinson, M, Namburete, AIL

“…Traditionally, topology-preserving fields are described in the continuous domain and begin to break down when working in the discrete domain. Here, we introduce additional modifications that more strictly enforce topology preservation. …”

The dynamic effect of information privacy law

“…But initial allocations matter when either of these two conditions is absent. Allocations also matter for production of goods that do not yet exist. …”

A dynamical analysis of the alignment mechanism between two interacting cells by Leech, V, Dalwadi, M, Manhart, A

“…Analysing the effect of small amounts of self-propulsion offers an insight into the timescales at play when a trajectory is moving towards the point of perfect alignment. …”

The impact of structured higher order interactions on ecological network stability by Terry, J, Bonsall, MB, Morris, R

“…Furthermore, we show that previous results of the impact of higher-order interactions on diversity-stability relationships can be reversed when higher-order interactions are structured, not random. …”

Quantum oscillations probe the Fermi surface topology of the nodal-line semimetal CaAgAs by Kwan, Y, Reiss, P, Han, Y, Bristow, M, Prabhakaran, D, Graf, D, McCollam, A, Ashok Parameswaran, S, Coldea, A

“…We interpret this as a Berry phase arising from the semiclassical electronic Landau orbit which links with the nodal ring when the magnetic field lies in the mirror (ab) plane. …”

Normative and informational confidence matching by Friedemann, M, Bang, D, Yeung, N

“…When performing tasks in a social context, individuals tend to report confidence judgments that increasingly align with those of others over time. …”

Nanostructure and photovoltaic potential of plasmonic nanofibrous active layers by Schofield, RM, Maciejewska, BM, Elmestekawy, KA, Woolley, JM, Tebbutt, GT, Danaie, M, Allen, CS, Herz, LM, Assender, HE, Grobert, N

“…It is revealed that this structure forms when anisotropic crystallites, pre-assembled in solution, become oriented along the fiber– a configuration with high charge transport potential. …”

Computational modeling of angiogenesis: the importance of cell rearrangements during vascular growth by Stepanova, D, Byrne, HM, Maini, PK, Alarcón, T

“…Next, we provide an overview of various theoretical approaches that have been employed to model angiogenesis, with particular emphasis on recent in silico models that account for the phenomenon of cell mixing. Finally, we discuss when cell mixing should be incorporated into theoretical models and what essential modeling components such models should include in order to investigate its functional role.…”

Interlocked host structures for anion recognition and lanthanide complexation by Li, X

“…Halogen bonding is used as an intermolecular interaction when designing the interlocked anion hosts.</p> <p><b>Chapter 1</b> introduces the field of supramolecular host guest chemistry, in particular anion recognition, followed by mechanically interlocked host molecules for guest recognition.…”

Ionic structure, liquid-liquid phase transitions, x-ray diffraction, and x-ray Thomson scattering in shock-compressed liquid silicon in the 100-200 GPa regime by Dharma-wardana, MWC, Klug, DD, Poole, H, Gregori, G

“…The LPTs preserve the short-ranged ionic structure of the fluid by collective adjustments of many distant atoms when subject to compression and heating, with minimal change in the ion-ion pair-distribution functions, and in transport properties such as the electrical and thermal conductivities σ and κ. …”

Knowledge transfer and entrepreneurship in industrial hubs in Nigeria by Ogbonna, NC

“…Finally, state interventions in the ecosystem are more effective when there is active collaboration and engagement between the state and ecosystem actors, as opposed to top-down approaches where such engagement is minimal. …”

Can solar water kiosks generate sustainable revenue streams for rural water services? by Wagner, J, Merner, S, Innocenti, S, Geling, A, Hope, R

“…In contrast, we find no significant increase in the volume of water people use when a handpump is upgraded to a solar kiosk. We estimate that a 1 °C temperature increase is associated with a $9 increase in average monthly revenue and 366 more litres of water used every day per waterpoint. …”

Unveiling the importance of longer paths in quantum networks by Hu, X, Dong, G, Lambiotte, R, Christensen, K, Fan, J, Tian, Z, Havlin, S, Meng, X

“…Notably, we find that concurrence percolation relies on non-shortest paths and shows a higher resilience to detouring when these paths are rerouted and extended. This increased resilience is also evident in real-world hierarchical, scale-free Internet networks. …”

Optimal mobility and communication strategy to maximize the value of information in IoT networks by Wang, Z, Badiu, M-A, Coon, JP

Building the city of God: imperial patronage and local influence in Jerusalem from Theodosius I to Justinian (379-565 ad) by Klein, K

“…The thesis offers a new interpretation of patriarchal politics in the times of the Christological controversies following the Council of Chalcedon (451) and of the political self-perception of Jerusalem from the beginning of the sixth century onwards, when the city with its <em>loca sancta</em> entered into a new form of relationship with the emperor Justinian, who bestowed his favour on Jerusalem in the form of imperial donations in return for the support of his ecclesiastical policies by the clergy and monks of Jerusalem.…”
