Characterization of structural and optical properties of Zinc Oxide thin films by Liu, Yuchan

“…The objective of this thesis is to determine the optical properties of ZnO thin films with spectroscopic ellipsometry in a wide spectral region covering the both regimes of below and above the ZnO bandgap. Three dispersion models, namely, Sellmeier dispersion model, Cauchy model and Forouhi-Bloomer model, were used and evaluated to determine the optical constants of ZnO thin films below the energy band gap. …”

Accuracy of second order perturbation theory in the polaron and variational polaron frames by Lee, Chee Kong, Moix, Jeremy, Cao, Jianshu

“…In the study of open quantum systems, the polaron transformation has recently attracted a renewed interest as it offers the possibility to explore the strong system-bath coupling regime. Despite this interest, a clear and unambiguous analysis of the regimes of validity of the polaron transformation is still lacking. …”

The effect of salt on oligocation-induced chromatin condensation by Korolev, Nikolay, Zhao, Yongqian, Allahverdi, Abdollah, Eom, Khee Dong, Nordenskiöld, Lars, Tam, James P.

“…In the salt-dependent regime EC50 rises sharply with increase of CKCl. Increase of ligand charge shifts the transition from the salt-independent to salt-dependent regime to higher salt. …”

Network analysis and data science for finance: from traditional markets to decentralised exchanges by Miori, D

“…Otherwise, we study returns of an heterogeneous set of indices belonging to multiple asset classes, and characterise their network of evolving correlations to identify market regimes that are found to have distinguishable macroeconomic features. …”

Conservation planning in Europe: ecological, financial, and political challenges by Hannemann, H

“…Probably unsurprisingly, the distribution of biodiversity in Europe mostly does not match political entities, all of which have individual aims, financial resources, and biodiversity management regimes in place. All have a significant impact on biodiversity conservation planning because i) the use of geo-politically truncated data influences modelling predictions, ii) financial commitment to biodiversity conservation varies between countries influencing success outcomes, iii) biodiversity persistence in current and future climate change does not recognise geo-political boundaries, and iv) many of the key environmental frameworks are implemented within countries and do not considering trans-boundary issues.…”

Ammonia volatilization from urea as affected by tropical‐based palm oil mill effluent (Pome) and peat by Siva, K. B., Aminuddin, H., Husni, M. H. A., Manas, A. R.

“…The organic materials were separately matrixed with urea into pelletized form and evaluated under laboratory regimes for the per cent NH3 volatilization, pH change, and ammonium-nitrogen (NH4-N) recovery. …”

The dietetic practice of prescribing amino acid-based formulas in paediatrics patients without cow’s milk allergy: a single centre retrospective study by O’Connor, Graeme, Mansell, Melissa

“…Data were collected on demographics, anthropometrics, feed regimens, gastrointestinal symptoms, proton pump inhibitor use and serum phosphate concentration Results: 203 children were prescribed an AAF during the data collection period, of these, 154 of 203 (76%) patients had no allergies. …”

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. …”

Origin of residual strain in heteroepitaxial films by Postelnicu, Eveline, Wen, Rui-Tao, Ma, Danhao, Wang, Baoming, Wada, Kazumi, Michel, Jurgen, Kimerling, Lionel C

“…The model is expressed in terms of three regimes: (1) misfit control for the low temperature growth regime at 400 °C; (2) point defect control via annealing in the point defect recovery regime at 500–650 °C; and (3) thermal expansion control for growth or anneal at T > 650 °C in the dislocation recovery regime. …”

Dynamics of the sub-Ohmic spin-boson model : a comparison of three numerical approaches by Yao, Yao, Duan, Liwei, Lü, Zhiguo, Wu, Chang-Qin, Zhao, Yang

“…The Davydov D1 ansatz and the time-dependent density matrix renormalization group can both be reliably employed in the weak-coupling regime, while the former is also valid in the strong-coupling regime as judged by how faithfully the trial state follows the Schrodinger ¨ equation. …”

Terahertz-optical intensity grating for creating high-charge, attosecond electron bunches by Lim, Jeremy, Chong, Yidong, Wong, Liang Jie

“…Currently, however, the shortest achievable bunches, at attosecond time scales, have only been realized in the single- or very few-electron regimes, limited by Coulomb repulsion and electron energy spread. …”

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. …”

Nonlinear evolution and acceleration of unstable fuel-lean hydrogen/air flame at normal and cryogenic temperatures by Yang, L, Zhang, T, Wang, Y, Fang, X, Leach, F, Chen, Z

“…By changing the equivalence ratio, initial temperature and channel size, the intensity of DLI and DTI varies, resulting in various regimes of flame evolution. It is found that cryogenic flames are more unstable than normal flames. …”

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

Plan Implementation Challenges in a Shrinking City: A Conformance Evaluation of Youngstown’s (OH) Comprehensive Plan With a Subsequent Zoning Code by Ryan, Brent D., Gao, Shuqi

“…Informants attribute the weak conformance between the comprehensive plan and the Youngstown Redevelopment Code to many of the former’s ideas not being legally defensible. Changing political regimes, shifts in public opinion, and the driving need for economic investment were also cited as contributors to this weak conformance. …”
