'Women in an extraordinary time': the transnational network and educational spaces of the Canadian Eiwa Girls' mission schools in 1920s and 1930s Japan by Dugal, A

“…Through network development, physical and intellectual spatial construction, and curriculum and activity design, these historical actors reached outside their institutions to actively connect themselves and their peers with the wider world. In the 1930s, this appears to have been conducted with a sense of urgency. …”

Tectonics of the semi-permanent: Reassembling fit-out architecture by Schnitzler, Jenna

“…The uneven wearing that Bolton wrote about in 1911, appears again in the iconic shearing layers diagram from Frank Duffy and Stewart Brand, who make a very similar economic argument, demonstrating that the economically fast-wearing interior layer accumulates the most investment over time, rebuilt on a cycle of every 5-10 years. …”

Data for the ‘Orchid Observers’ project by Shuttleworth, S, O’Donnell, J, Lintott, C, Tweddle, J

“…Volunteers can also extract valuable information from the 15,000 historical herbarium sheets in the NHM. Once the complete dataset has been fully verified and analysed for publication, the historical (i.e. herbarium) data and 2015 field observations will be made freely available through the National Biodiversity Network (https://data.nbn.org.uk/) and NHM Data Portal (http://data.nhm.ac.uk /). …”

Identifying primary care clinicians' preferences for, barriers to, and facilitators of information-seeking in clinical practice in Singapore: a qualitative study by Lee, Mauricette Moling, Tang, Wern Ee, Smith, Helen Elizabeth, Car, Lorainne Tudor

Computational rheometry of yielding and viscoplastic flow in vane-and-cup rheometer fixtures by Chaparian, Emad, Owens, Crystal E., McKinley, Gareth H.

“…This results in the shearing of an almost-circular ring of viscoplastic fluid that is indistinguishable from the annular ring of fluid deformed around a slip-free rotating cylindrical bob and leads to more accurate rheometric measurements of the material flow curve. …”

Three essays on corporate finance by Fu, Kangkang

“…Moreover, from the principal customers’ perspective, a higher level of environmental risk lowers a supplier firm’s probability of being selected relative to its industry peers by its potential customer. Conditional on an ongoing relationship with principal customers, supplier firms with high environmental risk have lower sales to principal customers and shorter relationship durations. …”

Health economic aspects of childhood excess weight by Onyimadu, O

“…My analyses of CPRD-HES data revealed that children living with overweight and obesity incurred significantly higher direct healthcare costs than their peers with a healthy weight. In comparison to children with healthy weight, those living with overweight generated additional costs of £133.93 and £66.32, on average, in the year preceding and following a BMI measurement, respectively, while children with obesity incurred additional costs of £115.47 and £154.51, on average, during the same periods. …”

Rethinking speech sound disorder (SSD) in non-syndromic cleft lip and palate: the importance of recognizing phonological and language difficulties by van Eeden, S, McKean, C, Stringer, H

“…There is growing evidence of concomitant language difficulties in children with CP ± L and of a higher prevalence of developmental speech errors in children compared with non-CP ± L peers. The impact of underlying phonological and language skills on speech production in children with CP ± L is poorly understood. …”

Nonequilibrium hyperuniform fluids by Lei, Yusheng

“…The first one is the systems stemmed from random organization (RO) dynamics, which is a model originally proposed to describe the chaotic particle motion in sheared non-Brownian suspensions. The subsequent one is the hyperuniform systems found in active particle systems, including hyperuniform reactive particle fluids and the chiral active brownian systems and biological algae systems, etc. …”
