The Nature of Children's Singing Voices
Joanne Rutkowski
Nov 19, 2013
Singing is often the window to the young child's musical life. Children sing during play, alone and with others, and group singing activities are encouraged in day care centers and preschool settings. However, some children seem...

Using data from international large-scale assessments (ILSA), we evaluate the issue of country-level model-data consistency of background socio-economic scales, as well as the invariance across countries. To that end, we use...

Affective De-Commodifying, Economic De-Kinning
Marcin Smietana
Aug 17, 2017
In this paper I discuss affective and economic exchanges in commercial surrogacy in the US. I draw on a qualitative study I carried out in the US between 2014 and 2016, consisting of interviews and participant...
Spotlight on landmark oncology trials
The era of precision oncology is marked with prominent successes in the therapy of advanced soft tissue sarcomas, breast cancer, ovarian cancer and haematological neoplasms, among others. Moreover, recent trials of immune...
Infrared absorption of closely-aligned heterostructures of monolayer and bilayer graphene with hexagonal boron nitride
We model optical absorption of monolayer and bilayer graphene on hexagonal boron nitride for the case of closely-aligned crystal lattices. We show that perturbations with different spatial symmetry can lead to similar absorption...

Using in-plane anisotropy to engineer Janus monolayers of rhenium dichalcogenides
The new class of Janus two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides with two different interfaces is currently gaining increasing attention due to the possibility to access properties different from the typical 2D...
Moiré miniband features in the angle-resolved photoemission spectra of graphene/hBN heterostructures
We identify features in the angle-resolved photoemission spectra (ARPES) arising from the periodic pattern characteristic for graphene heterostructure with hexagonal boron nitride (BN). For this, we model ARPES spectra...
Microstructures Manufactured in Diamond by Use of Laser Micromachining.
Different microstructures were created on the surface of a polycrystalline diamond plate (obtained by microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition-MW PECVD process) by use of a nanosecond pulsed DPSS (diode pumped solid...
A system for characterisation of piezoelectric materials and associated electronics for vibration powered energy harvesting devices

Self-powered sensor systems that are able to harvest energy from surrounding vibrations are a promising solution for wearable devices, Internet of Things (IoT) and sensing in challenging industrial environments. An automated...

Queer decisions
How does race and location shape the reproductive decisions of gay men who are intended parents? In this article, we propose the concept of strategic racialization to characterize the ways in which gay male parents employ racial...
Gaussian approximation potential modeling of lithium intercalation in carbon nanostructures.
We demonstrate how machine-learning based interatomic potentials can be used to model guest atoms in host structures. Specifically, we generate Gaussian approximation potential (GAP) models for the interaction of lithium atoms...
Thermoelectric quantum oscillations in ZrSiS.
Topological semimetals are systems in which conduction and valence bands cross each other and the crossings are protected by topological constraints. These materials provide intriguing tests for fundamental theories, while their...
Asymmetric excitation of left- and right-tail extreme events probed using a Hawkes model

We construct a two-tailed peaks-over-threshold Hawkes model that captures asymmetric self- and cross-excitation in and between left- and right-tail extreme values within a time series. We demonstrate its applicability by...
