Visualising human life in volumetric cities: city digital twins and other disasters by Rose, G

“…Many critical accounts of this visual and volumetric regime are attentive to the forms of corporealised human life that emerge in relation to the picturing of various volumes. …”

Using algorithms to improve knowledge work by Amaya, J, Holweg, M

“…We also find that the ability to sustain any improvement depends on the adjustment of the knowledge regime—the practices and structures that sanction knowledge. …”

Kinetic subspace investigation using neural network for uncertainty quantification in nonpremixed flamelets by Koenig, Benjamin C, Ji, Weiqi, Deng, Sili

“…However, this one-dimensional assumption does not apply to all flamelet regimes. In the current work, we developed a systematic approach to discover low-dimensional active subspace reductions that apply to the entire mixture fraction space of the flamelet, and that function even in cases where the uncertainty response is not uniform across the entire solution domain and the one-dimensional assumption does not apply. …”

Privacy: a political approach by Bogue, RC

“…It can thus be shown that a commitment to democracy entails a commitment to certain privacy rights—a finding that circumvents the difficulty in establishing a common basis for privacy protections by appealing to all citizens who live under democratic regimes. In abandoning familiar understandings of privacy, the political approach to privacy does away with the problematic emphasis on consent, adapts privacy to an ever-changing surveillance environment, addresses prominent critiques of privacy rights, and provides a common basis of justification for future privacy legislation. …”

Temporal evolution of mechanical properties in PDMS: A comparative study of elastic modulus and relaxation time for storage in air and aqueous environment by Zhang, Y, Adam, C, Rehnstrom, H, Contera, S

“…The identification of two distinct relaxation times suggests the involvement of two disparate material property regimes in the relaxation process, implying changes in the surface material composition at the interface with air/water. …”

Observation of vector solitons supported by third-order dispersion by Guo, Jun, Hu, Xiaonan, Song, Yu Feng, Shao, Guo Dong, Zhao, Lu Ming, Tang, Ding Yuan

“…Operating the fiber laser in either the net normal or net anomalous dispersion regime, we found that both dark-bright and antidark-bright vector solitons could be simultaneously formed as a result of incoherent cross-polarization phase modulation. …”

Bulk α-alumina embedded tapered fiber as Q-switcher in an erbiumdoped fiber laser by Mohd Yusof, Norita, Liew Ying Chyi, Josephine, Ng, Eng Khoon, Md Zain, Ahmad Rifqi, Alresheedi, Mohammed Thamer, Mayzan, Mohd Zul Hilmi, Mahdi, Mohd Adzir

“…The integration of α-Al2O3-saturable absorber(SA) in an erbium-doped fiber laser yielded a Q-switched operating regime within 62.0–308.6 mW pump power. The shortest pulse width was 7 μs, whereas the repetition rate was tunable from 19.17 to 43.24 kHz. …”

One-Step Replica Symmetry Breaking of Random Regular NAE-SAT II by Nam, Danny, Sly, Allan, Sohn, Youngtak

“…(One-step replica symmetry breaking of random regular NAE-SAT I, <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://arxiv.org/abs/2011.14270">arXiv:2011.14270</jats:ext-link>, 2020), we study the random regular <jats:italic>k</jats:italic>-<jats:sc>nae-sat</jats:sc> model in the condensation regime. In Nam et al. (2020), the (1<jats:sc>rsb</jats:sc>) properties of the model were established with positive probability. …”

Synthesis and degradation of FtsZ quantitatively predict the first cell division in starved bacteria by Sekar, Karthik, Rusconi, Roberto, Sauls, John T., Fuhrer, Tobias, Noor, Elad, Nguyen, Jen, Fernandez, Vicente I., Buffing, Marieke F., Berney, Michael, Jun, Suckjoon, Stocker, Roman, Sauer, Uwe

“…Current models are phenomenological and specific to nutrient‐rich, exponentially growing cells, thus cannot predict the first division under limiting nutrient availability. To assess this regime, we supplied starving Escherichia coli with glucose pulses at increasing frequencies. …”

Do contrasting statements improve users’ understanding of different assurance levels conveyed in assurance reports? by Low, Kin-Yew, Boo, El'fred

“…We find that, under the current reporting regime which requires the inclusion of contrasting statements only in limited assurance reports, only more informed users can differentiate the extent of assurance conveyed in limited versus reasonable assurance reports. …”

Relativistic superfluidity and vorticity from the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation by Xiong, Chi, Good, Michael R. R., Guo, Yulong, Liu, Xiaopei, Huang, Kerson

“…We investigate superfluidity, and the mechanism for creation of quantized vortices, in the relativistic regime. The general framework is a nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation in curved spacetime for a complex scalar field, whose phase dynamics gives rise to superfluidity. …”

Missing links in The China Model by Li, Chenyang

“…We should not take this book as an apologetics for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) even though it offers both positive and negative assessments of the Chinese communist regime, as any fair-minded work should. There is a tendency among scholars to avoid discussing certain topics in order not to be perceived as politically motivated to help governments with a less than commendable reputation. …”
