Fabrication of hollow fiber membranes using amphiphilic block copolymers as pore-forming additives by Loh, Chun Heng

“…Amphiphilic Pluronic triblock copolymers of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and poly(propylene oxide) (PPO) have received much attention recently in membrane preparation due to their unique behaviors, such as high surface activity and micellization in water, which potentially change the surface properties and pore structure of membranes. …”

A combined numerical and experimental approach to investigations of body-freedom flutter on flying wings by Ang, Elijah Hao Wei

“…Finally, the monolithic state-space formulation for the aeroelastic model allows for efficient control synthesis for active gust load alleviation strategies. Due to the large number of aerodynamic states present, a model reduction technique based on balanced realisation is used to improve computational efficiency during controller synthesis. …”

Graph representation learning by Zhang, Xinyi

“…Generating a high-quality graph representation should preserve much information such as node position, subgraph direction and node connection, however, encoding this information in the form of scalar means activating elements in a vector one-by-one which is exponentially less efficient than encoding them with distributed representations, so routing mechanism is applied to generate graph-level representations in the form of capsules which can encode graph information more efficiently. …”

PostIndependentzia by Calzada, I

“…These include, among others, the ending of ETA's activities, political normalisation and opportunities for a peace process; the failure of the socio-economic and territorial model of the Spanish state and the need for a new constitutional order; the ageing of the nation-state model, real administrative division and the emergence of city-regions as urban-based geographical units; the importance of migration movements of all kinds (socio-economic and political, intraregional and transnational, etc.); very specifically, the perpetuation of the inertia of cultural politics rooted to the decimononic medieval ground of feuding Oinaz and Gamboa clans, and very generally, the need for a socially balanced post-crisis economic model. …”

Modélisation des interactions en Italie du Nord au premier âge du Fer: de la circulation de parures aux réseaux d’influences culturelles by Cicolani, V, Huet, T, Zamboni, L

“…By modelling the fashion tradition through the analysis of shared clothing items, this paper would like to propose a critical review of the markers of cultural identity, mobility, interaction traditionally used looking for alternative theoretical interpretation and social narrative of the role of indigenous communities in the North Italic trade et craft activities. …”
