Contrastive learning for heterogeneous graph neural networks by Dong, Renzhi

“…Substituting HeCo’s cross-view mechanism with the summarized method we got a revised new model called HeCo*. Then a control experiment is designed and carried out to show the performance of cross-view mechanism in HeCo, it demonstrated that HeCo does outperform the traditional contrastive learning methods in node classification and node clustering significantly. …”

Cytoarchitectonic mapping of attentional selection and reorienting in parietal cortex. by Gillebert, C, Mantini, D, Peeters, R, Dupont, P, Vandenberghe, R

“…In a classical spatial cueing paradigm, the target was presented at the cued location either alone (60% of trials) or in combination with a contralateral distracter ('competition trials', 20% of trials), or at a location opposite to the cued location ('invalidly cued trials', 20% of trials). In a sensory control experiment we differentiated between the attentional and the sensory effects of the distracter. …”

Face context interferes with local part processing in a prosopagnosic patient. by Boutsen, L, Humphreys, G

“…Face inversion did not affect HJAs performance. A control experiment (Experiment 3) with non-face stimuli (houses) suggested that the inhibitory influence of context on HJAs performance was restricted to faces. …”

Social learning in models and minds by Yon, D, Heyes, C

“…Inferences from cognitive complexity to social specificity, made by those who favour rich interpretations (‘mentalists’), call for non-social control experiments. A parsimonious model that fits current data is a good start, but carefully designed experiments are needed to distinguish models that tell us how social learning could be done from those that tell us how it is really done.…”

Neglect-like visual exploration behaviour after theta burst transcranial magnetic stimulation of the right posterior parietal cortex. by Nyffeler, T, Cazzoli, D, Wurtz, P, Lüthi, M, von Wartburg, R, Chaves, S, Déruaz, A, Hess, C, Müri, R

“…To this end, one continuous train of theta burst rTMS was applied over the right PPC in 12 healthy subjects prior to a visual exploration task where colour photographs of real-life scenes were presented on a computer screen. In a control experiment, stimulation was also applied over the vertex. …”

Drumming in time is easy: social bonding effects of synchrony arise from reduced cognitive load by Bamford, JS, Tarr, B, Miles, L, Cohen, E

“…The present study tested a theory based on processing fluency across two controlled experiments. In the first study, 104 participants completed a drumming task in a within-subjects design in which they also completed a secondary visual attention task. …”

'Twisting the lion's tail': manipulationist tests of causation for psychological mechanisms in the occurrence of delusions and hallucinations by Brown, P, Waite, F, Freeman, D

“…A systematic search identified controlled experiments or targeted interventions that both manipulated a specific psychological mechanism and measured the effect on individual psychotic experiences. …”

Rainfall effects to the performance of subsurface flow constructed wetlands in leachate treatment by Lee, Yun Fook

“…Performance of HSFCW in leachate treatment was evaluated with comparison to a blank reactor (without plants) serving as control. Experiments were run under artificial “monsoon rainfall intensity” in Malaysia. …”

Retrospective analysis of 2015–2017 wintertime PM_2.5 in China: response to emission regulations and the role of meteorology by D. Chen, Z. Liu, J. Ban, P. Zhao, M. Chen

“…The role of emissions was obtained by subtracting the meteorological impacts (by control experiments) from the total combined differences (by assimilation experiments). …”

Preliminary design and exploration of vibration-mediated smart adhesives utilizing viscous and viscoelastic materials by Sim, Brian Chuan Jie

“…From vibrations generated from the modal exciter with an actuation frequency of 30 kHz and voltage of amplitude 10 peak-to-peak voltage (Vpp), the glass sphere embedded in the adhesives recovered 53 mm after 100 s, smaller than the 60 3 mm when the vibrations were switched “off” and demonstrated noticeable delayed recovering of 7 mm compared to the control experiment. Similarly, in the experimental using the set up with the piezoelectric transducer, the smart adhesive under the actuation vibrations of the piezoelectric transducer demonstrated delayed recovering of 2 mm compared its control experiment. …”

A contamination focused approach for optimizing the single-cell RNA-seq experiment by Deronisha Arceneaux, Zhengyi Chen, Alan J. Simmons, Cody N. Heiser, Austin N. Southard-Smith, Michael J. Brenan, Yilin Yang, Bob Chen, Yanwen Xu, Eunyoung Choi, Joshua D. Campbell, Qi Liu, Ken S. Lau

“…Through a series of controlled experiments, we report improvements that can minimize ambient contamination outside of tissue dissociation, via cell fixation, improved cell loading, microfluidic dilution, and nuclei versus cell preparation; many of these parameters are inaccessible on commercial platforms. …”

A Hybrid Control with PID–Improved Sliding Mode for Flat-Top of Missile Electromechanical Actuator Systems by Man Zhou, Dapeng Mao, Mingyue Zhang, Lihong Guo, Mingde Gong

“…In addition, boundary layer and switching function are employed to solve the high-frequency chattering problem caused by traditional sliding mode control. Experiments indicate that the hybrid control can evidently reduce the flat-top time from 64 ms to 12 ms and eliminate the trajectory limit cycle oscillation. …”

Facile Synthesis Hyper-Crosslinked PdFe Bimetallic Polymer as Highly Active Catalyst for Ullmann Coupling Reaction of Chlorobenzene by Cheng Tang, Wenwen Yang, Zhijuan Zou, Fang Liao, Chunmei Zeng, Kunpeng Song

“…The exceptional catalytic performance of HCP@Pd/Fe is attributed to its robust absorption capability, high dispersion, and strong interaction between Fe and Pd, as confirmed by various material characterizations and control experiments. Furthermore, the coated structure of a hyper-crosslinked polymer enables easy recycling and reuse of the catalyst for at least 10 cycles without any significant loss of activity.…”

Re-evaluation of the impact of BUD21 deletion on xylose utilization by Saccharomyces cerevisiae by Venkatachalam Narayanan, Anders G. Sandström, Marie F. Gorwa-Grauslund

“…The positive effect of BUD21 gene deletion on aerobic growth and xylose utilization could not be confirmed in two non-engineered laboratory strains (BY4741 and CEN.PK 113-7D) that were grown in YP rich medium with 20 g/L xylose as sole carbon source, despite the fact that effective deletion of BUD21 gene was confirmed using both genotypic (colony PCR) and phenotypic (heat sensitive phenotype of the BUD21 deletion mutant) control experiments. Therefore, the effect of BUD21 deletion on xylose fermentation might be strain- or medium-dependent.…”
