A regulatory role for repeated decoy transcription factor binding sites in target gene expression by Lee, Tek‐Hyung, Maheshri, Narendra

“…Tight TF binding to arrays of contiguous repeated decoy sites only occurs when the arrays are mostly unoccupied. Finally, we show that the altered sigmoidal‐like response can convert the graded response of a transcriptional positive‐feedback loop to a bimodal response. …”

A comparison between the nmm and the xfem in discontinuity modeling by An, Xinmei, Fu, Guoyang, Ma, Guowei

“…Conventional finite element method (FEM) requires the finite element mesh to coincide with the discontinuities, which often complicates the meshing task. When evolution of discontinuities are necessary, remeshing is inevitable, which makes the simulation tedious and time-consuming. …”

A study on pedestrian crowd simulations through distributed personal mobility device (PMD) docking hubs by Ramakrishna Santhira Segaran

“…Public outcry began to pile up and reached its fever pitch when an accident caused a loss of life. The government ultimately decided to ban the use of PMDs on public footpaths with the exception of Cycling Paths and Park Connectors. …”

A communal furniture informed by the deprivation of Mauritian beach by Fok Kow, Fok-Chi-Seng

“…Having lived near to a beach and creating childhood memories of the place, to later witness its deterioration due to erosion is something unbearable, especially when climate change is one of the major reasons. …”

Morality or "false consciousness"? How moral naturalists can answer Thrasymachus's challenge by Luco, Andrés Carlos

“…False consciousness occurs when a dominant social group shapes the beliefs and desires of a subordinate group in such a way that the subordinates act for the benefit of the dominants, but against their own interests. …”

Effect of oblique retroreflection from a vibrating mirror on laser Doppler shift by Agusanto, Kusuma, Lau, Gih-Keong, Liu, Ting, Zhu, Chuangui

“…A laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) fails to measure a large out-of-plane vibration of a rotating mirror when the mirror obliquely reflects the laser beam away, causing a signal loss from being detected. …”

Circulating current control scheme of modular multilevel converters supplying passive networks under unbalanced load conditions by Zhang, Huaitian, Wickramasinghe, Harith R., Jing, Long, Li, Jinke, Pou, Josep, Konstantinou, Georgios

“…This paper demonstrates the impact of circulating current control in capacitor voltage ripples of sub-modules and peak arm currents under unbalanced load conditions when supplying passive networks, comparing the effects of three circulating current control methods on internal variables of the MMCs. …”

Understanding the outcomes of enterococcus faecalis and pseudomonas aeruginosa dual-species biofilms by Ong, Qian Wei

“…It was hypothesized that the increase and decrease in biofilm production was linked to the viability of P. aeruginosa as the species was found to be the major producer in biofilm when in co-culture with E. faecalis. Thus, we conducted a cell viability assay. …”

Teaching the woman of colour and transatlantic women — a roundtable on The Woman of Colour (1808) : pedagogic and critical approaches (Roundtable) by Krueger, Misty

“…The course, and that very idea, inspired me to edit a volume of essays on transatlantic women travelers, which includes an essay by Octavia Cox on The Woman of Colour—a text I had not even heard of when I first designed the course. Once I read this novel, though, I realized that it was a perfect fit for my class.…”

Militarized masculinities beyond methodological nationalism : charting the multiple masculinities of an Indonesian jihadi by Duriesmith, David, Noor Huda Ismail

“…Based on fieldwork with Indonesian former foreign fighters, we make the case that feminist international relations have tended to unreflectively default to the nation when locating gender hierarchies. Exploring the multiple articulations of masculinity present in former fighters' lives, we suggest that efforts must be made to resist methodological nationalism in understanding the relationship between gender hierarchies and armed conflict. …”
