Understanding the microscopic origin of the magnetic interactions in CoNb2O6 by Amanda A. Konieczna, David A. S. Kaib, Stephen M. Winter, Roser Valentí

“…Abstract Motivated by the on-going discussion on the nature of magnetism in the quantum Ising chain CoNb2O6, we present a first-principles-based analysis of its exchange interactions with additional modeling, addressing drawbacks of a purely density functional theory ansatz. This method allows us to extract and understand the origin of the magnetic couplings—including all symmetry-allowed terms - and resolve conflicting model descriptions in CoNb2O6. …”

Plastic Surgery: Under the Skin, Suture, Destructive Plasticity and Post-Cinematic Ontologies by Greg Hainge

“…Indeed, ultimately this article suggests that Under the Skin can be read as a commentary on the viewing subject required by (and forms of subjectivity produced by) post-cinematic media forms that at first seem to operate according to a different logic to the cinematic syntax of classical cinema, but which may in fact require us to reconsider some of our assumptions with regard to all forms of cinematic subjectivity produced in the relations between spectator and screen.…”

Considerations for Building Climate-based Species Distribution Models by David N. Bucklin, Mathieu Basille, Stephanie S. Romañach, Lauren A. Brandt, Frank J. Mazzotti, James I. Watling

“…The models alone cannot tell us how a certain species will actually respond to changes in climate, but they can inform conservation planning that aims to allow species to both adapt in place and (for those that are able to) move to newly suitable areas. …”

Thermal decomposition of zinc hexacyanometalates in various gas media by D.P. Domonov, S.I. Pechenyuk, R.V. Marchenko

“…It was found that metal-carbon compositions are formed in argon atmosphere, and the sizes of metal particles are 6-26 nm. This study allows us to consider thermolysis of complex compounds as a way to obtain new materials, which may be useful in the field of materials science.…”

Animal Models, Therapeutics, and Vaccine Approaches to Emerging and Re-Emerging Flaviviruses by Thomas J. Baric, Z. Beau Reneer

“…Vaccines, available for a few circulating flaviviruses, still have limited potential for controlling contemporary and future outbreaks. Mouse models provide us with a valuable tool to test the effectiveness of drugs and vaccines, yet for many flaviviruses, well-established mouse models are lacking. …”

Steel-Concrete Composite Bridges: Design, Life Cycle Assessment, Maintenance, and Decision-Making by D. Martínez-Muñoz, J. V. Martí, V. Yepes

“…An additional objective is to make visible the gaps in the sustainable design of composite steel-concrete bridges, which allows us to focus on future research studies. The results of this work show how researchers have concentrated their studies on the preliminary design of bridges with a mainly economic approach, while at a global level, concern is directed towards the search for sustainable solutions. …”
