Predicting drivers’ route trajectories in last-mile delivery using a pair-wise attention-based pointer neural network by Mo, Baichuan, Wang, Qingyi, Guo, Xiaotong, Winkenbach, Matthias, Zhao, Jinhua

“…In last-mile delivery, drivers frequently deviate from planned delivery routes because of their tacit knowledge of the road and curbside infrastructure, customer availability, and other characteristics of the respective service areas. Hence, the actual stop sequences chosen by an experienced human driver may be potentially preferable to the theoretical shortest-distance routing under real-life operational conditions. …”

Analysis of Poly(ethylene terephthalate) degradation kinetics of evolved IsPETase variants using a surface crowding model by Zhong-Johnson, En Ze Linda, Dong, Ziyue, Canova, Christopher T, Destro, Francesco, Cañellas, Marina, Hoffman, Mikaila C, Maréchal, Jeanne, Johnson, Timothy M, Zheng, Maya, Schlau-Cohen, Gabriela S, Lucas, Maria Fátima, Braatz, Richard D, Sprenger, Kayla G, Voigt, Christopher A, Sinskey, Anthony J

“…Molecular dynamics simulations of IsPETase variants reveal a decrease in active site flexibility in free enzymes and reduced probability of productive active site formation in substrate-bound enzymes under crowding. Hence, we develop a surface crowding model to analyze the biochemical effects of three hit mutations (T116P, S238N, S290P) that enhanced ambient temperature activity and/or thermostability. …”

Liquid state machine with dendritically enhanced readout for low-power, neuromorphic VLSI implementations by Roy, Subhrajit, Banerjee, Amitava, Basu, Arindam

“…The number of synaptic connections on each branch is significantly lower than the total number of connections from the liquid neurons and the learning algorithm tries to find the best `combination' of input connections on each branch to reduce the error. Hence, the learning involves network rewiring (NRW) of the readout network similar to structural plasticity observed in its biological counterparts. …”
