Towards Synergistic Understanding of Language Processing in Biological and Artificial Systems by Hosseini Asl, Eghbal

“…I show that brain responses to stimuli (sentences) that are represented similarly across multiple successful ANNs are easier to predict from model representations; in contrast, brain responses to sentences that are represented differently across models are challenging to predict, despite high consistency among human participants. Extending these findings to the domain of vision, I suggest that the principle of representation universality may underlie information processing across various domains. …”

Shifting Paradigms: Data-Centric Approach for Marine Statics Correction using Symmetric Autoencoding by Kanniah, Brindha

“…This notable precision improvement using SymAE highlights how a streamlined data-centric paradigm outperforms the traditional model-centric paradigm of marine statics correction. This finding is pivotal as it is the foundation that lays the groundwork and opens the path towards the real-world deployment of SymAE for statics correction in challenging deepwater environments.…”

Creative ageing in Singapore : a population study on participatory arts engagement and wellbeing among adults aged 50 and above by Ma, Stephanie Hilary Xinyi

“…Respondents expressed that their greatest interest lies within the genre of culture and heritage arts, with a strong preference to engage in arts activities within the community, and to attend such activities with their family or friends. Findings from propensity score matching with t-test analyses revealed that respondents who passively engaged in the arts experienced better quality of life t(728) = 3.35, p = .0008, d = .25, self-perceived health t(728) = 2.21, p = .028, d = 0.16, and sense of belonging t(728) = 2.17, p = .028, d = 0.16, as compared to those who did not. …”

Scaffold-mediated sustained, non-viral delivery of miR-219/miR-338 promotes CNS remyelination by Milbreta, Ulla, Lin, Junquan, Pinese, Coline, Ong, William, Chin, Jiah Shin, Shirahama, Hitomi, Mi, Ruifa, Williams, Anna, Bechler, Marie E., Wang, Jun, ffrench-Constant, Charles, Hoke, Ahmet, Chew, Sing Yian

“…Similarly within the scaffolds, miR-219/miR-338 samples contained significantly more myelin basic protein (MBP) signals (p < 0.01) and higher myelination index (p < 0.05) than Neg miR samples. These findings highlight the potential of this platform to promote remyelination within the CNS.…”

TEOSINTE BRANCHED1/CYCLOIDEA/PROLIFERATING CELL FACTOR4 Interacts with WRINKLED1 to mediate seed oil biosynthesis by Kong, Que, Singh, Sanjay K., Mantyla, Jenny J., Pattanaik, Sitakanta, Guo, Liang, Yuan, Ling, Benning, Christoph, Ma, Wei

“…In addition, TCP4 repressed the AtWRI1-mediated transactivation of the promoters of fatty acid biosynthetic genes. Collectively, our findings suggest that TCP4 represses fatty acid biosynthetic gene expression through interaction with AtWRI1, leading to a reduction of AtWRI1-mediated seed oil accumulation.…”

Three essays on behavioral and experimental economics by Li, Yupeng

“…We explain this difference on the basis of the Singaporean senders’ beliefs about trustworthiness: they believed that people with a Mainland Chinese accent would return more money to them than their in-group Singaporean counterparts. To bolster our findings, we confirmed in a separate experiment that the difference in response to the accents was not due to the speed of speech or vocal pitch. …”

A materials science framework for connecting protein stability with surface adsorption and coating applications by Ma, Gamaliel Junren

“…Finally, the experimentally observed differences in conformational properties and adsorption behavior of certain types of BSA proteins were correlated with their surface passivation performance. In summary, the findings in this thesis presented how materials science concepts can be used to rationalize the relationship between protein conformational stability and adsorption behavior and offer a broadly applicable approach to engineer protein coatings for various useful applications.…”

Prediction of stable perovskite quantum dots (QDs) using machine learning (ML) algorithms by Cheong, Ivan

“…Falling back to literature of known understanding of the photoluminescence property, suggested that the nanocrystal’s surface ligands interface has a substantial impact on optical properties. Hence finding a method to incorporate the string data type of synthesis methods and passivation agents to machine learning models who typically prefer numerical data types could improve the prediction abilities.…”

Direct and indirect effects of fire on microbial communities in a pyrodiverse dry-sclerophyll forest by Bowd, Elle J., Egidi, Eleonora, Lindenmayer, David B., Wardle, David A., Kardol, Paul, Cary, Geoffrey J., Foster, Claire

“…Pathogenic fungi also increased in recently burnt forests that had a low fire frequency, mediated by a decline in litter carbon and an increase in soil pH in these sites. Synthesis. Our findings indicate that predicted increases in the frequency of fire may select for specific microbial communities directly and indirectly through ecological interactions, which may have functional implications for plants (increase in pathogens, decrease in symbionts), decomposition rates (declines in Actinobacteriota and Acidobacteriota) and carbon storage (decrease in ectomycorrhizal fungi). …”

You must be myths-taken: examining belief in falsehoods during the COVID-19 health crisis by Lwin, May Oo, Sheldenkar, Anita, Tng, Pei Ling

“…However, belief in myths varied across population demographics, with ethnic minorities (Indians and Malays), females, young adults and those with lower education levels being more susceptible to myths than their counterparts (p < 0.05). Our findings suggest that current debunking efforts are insufficient to effectively counter misinformation beliefs during health crises. …”
