Profiting from prestige: the political economy of mega-events in Azerbaijan by Laporte, J

“…By problematising the direction of causality between mega-events and rentseeking behaviour, this analysis expands current theories on states’ motivations for hosting these events and contributes to existing understandings about how these proceedings serve to support and sustain rentier regimes.…”

Conflict abroad and political trust at home evidence from a natural experiment by Klymak, M, Vlandas, T

“…Further analyses using other surveys and previous conflicts suggest this effect depends on proximity to the conflict and the political regimes of the attacked country. These findings contribute to our understanding of the complex and indirect effects of conflicts on domestic political trust.…”

Dynamic properties of high-Tc superconducting nano-junctions made with a focused helium ion beam by Couëdo, François, Amari, Paul, Feuillet-Palma, Cheryl, Ulysse, Christian, Srivastava, Yogesh Kumar, Singh, Ranjan, Bergeal, Nicolas, Lesueur, Jérôme

“…At lower temperature and for the highest He irradiation dose, the shot noise contribution must also be taken into account when approaching the tunneling regime. We conclude that these Josephson nano-junctions present the lowest noise level possible, which makes them very promising for future applications in the microwave and terahertz regimes.…”

Predictability of exchange rates with taylor rule fundamentals : evidence from inflation-targeting emerging countries by Alba, Joseph Dennis, Park, Donghyun, Xie, Taojun

“…We investigate the out-of-sample predictability of U.S. dollar exchange rates with Taylor rule fundamentals in thirteen emerging countries with inflation-targeting monetary policy regimes. We find some evidence of out-of-sample exchange rate predictability for Brazil, Czech Republic, Hungary, Philippines, Thailand, and South Africa. …”

Classification of fixed points of Potts-Bethe mapping of degree four on Q5 by Ahmad, Mohd. Ali Khameini, Murat Alp, Murat Alp, Mohd. Azahari, Mohammad Azim, Embong, Ahmad Fadillah

“…In this paper, the Potts–Bethe mapping of degree four is con-sidered over the field Q5 of 5-adic numbers. In some regimes (a condition appear in the study of p-adic Potts model), the fixed points are found and their stability are determined. …”

Flow and deformation due to periodic loading in a soft porous material by Fiori, M, Pramanik, S, Macminn, CW

“…We identify two distinct mechanical regimes, distinguished by whether the loading period is slow or fast relative to the characteristic poroelastic timescale. …”

Entangled exclusions: borders, frontiers and urban geopolitics from northeast India by Das, P, Mittal, G, Sarma, J

“…An epicentre of ethnicity-based identity politics and exclusions, India's northeastern region has long been politically imagined as both a ‘frontier’ and ‘borderland’ for state control, territorialization, extractive economies and (re)developments by colonial and subsequent post-colonial regimes. In post-independence India, the region experienced many territorial assertions made on ethnic grounds. …”

Spatiotemporal signatures of elastoinertial turbulence in viscoelastic planar jets by Yamani, Sami, Raj, Yashasvi, Zaki, Tamer A., McKinley, Gareth H., Bischofberger, Irmgard

“…We show how fluid elasticity has a nonmonotonic effect on the jet stability depending on its magnitude, creating two distinct regimes in which elastic effects can either destabilize or stabilize the jet. …”

Optimization of transition maneuvers through aerodynamic vectoring by Maqsood, Adnan., Go, Tiauw Hiong.

“…The aerodynamics of the aircraft in pre- and post-stall regimes are obtained through wind-tunnel tests. The unsteady aerodynamic effects are incorporated in aerodynamic model to cater for rapid changes in the aircraft motion, which is modeled as three degree of freedom longitudinal dynamics. …”

Mean-field approximation for networks with synchrony-driven adaptive coupling by Fennelly, N, Neff, A, Lambiotte, R, Keane, A, Byrne, A

“…We derive a mean-field approximation and assess its accuracy by comparing it to θ-neuron simulations across various stability regimes. The synchrony of the system is quantified using the Kuramoto order parameter. …”

Effect of restricted watering and its combination with root pruning on root growth capacity, water status and food reserves of Pinus caribaea var. hondurensis seedlings by Abod, Sheikh Ali, Sandi, Simon

“…Six-month old Pinus caribaea var. hondurensis seedling were subjected to various regimes of restricted watering and their combinations with root pruning to determine a suitable technique of producing seedlings with optimum physiological condition for successful bare-root planting. …”

A computational study of spin glasses and its spin coupling interactions by Wong, Yi Ren

“…These models may be differentiated from one another by the critical temperature and critical exponents measured or calculated from experiments and simulations which give rise to different universality classes in different regimes. We will explore in this thesis the critical phenomena of two separate new SG models − The Spin Glass Cellular Automata (SGCA) model and the Heterogeneous Spin Glass (HSG) model while reviewing other known SG models studied in literature. …”

Understanding trends in social fluidity in western europe: class structural change and the OED triangle by Goldthorpe, J, Bukodi, E

“…Where downward mobility increases, the growing motivation and the capacity of more advantaged parents to protect their children against déclassement constitutes a powerful source of resistance to change in endogenous mobility regimes.…”
