Effect of mixed magnetic field on physical properties of atmospheric suspended fine particles by Binbin Han, Zhengfeng Ming, Yuhu Zhao, Tao Wen, Meilin Xie

“…Finally, based on the theoretical analysis and simulation results, we built an experimental verification system to evaluate the effects of electromagnetic radiation on the physical properties of micro-particle, and carried out a 30-day control experiment. The experimental results showed that the physical properties such as particle size distribution, mass concentration, and morphology of suspended fine particles in the atmosphere under electromagnetic radiation are significantly different from those under non-electromagnetic radiation environment. …”

Fast and Reliable Electronic Assay of a Xylella fastidiosa Single Bacterium in Infected Plants Sap by Lucia Sarcina, Eleonora Macchia, Giuliana Loconsole, Giusy D'Attoma, Paolo Bollella, Michele Catacchio, Francesco Leonetti, Cinzia Di Franco, Vito Elicio, Gaetano Scamarcio, Gerardo Palazzo, Donato Boscia, Pasquale Saldarelli, Luisa Torsi

“…Furthermore, the assay selectivity is proven against the Paraburkholderia phytofirmans bacterium (negative‐control experiment). The proposed label‐free, fast (30 min), and precise (false‐negatives, false‐positives below 1%) electronic assay, lays the ground for an ultra‐high performing immunometric point‐of‐care platform potentially enabling large‐scale screening of asymptomatic plants.…”

Automation and Optimization of Rat Heart Decellularization Using a Vibrating Fluid Column by Dumitru-Daniel Bonciog, Mihaela-Ruxandra Lascu, Liliana Mâțiu-Iovan, Valentin Laurențiu Ordodi

“…Another goal was to optimize the Langendorff-type experimental apparatus, which is pressure-controlled and equipped with a vibrating fluid column that shortens the decellularization time by mechanically acting directly on cell membranes. Control experiments were performed with the designed experimental device and the vibrating liquid column using different decellularization protocols for hearts taken from rats. …”

A Personalized Behavior Learning System for Human-Like Longitudinal Speed Control of Autonomous Vehicles by Chao Lu, Jianwei Gong, Chen Lv, Xin Chen, Dongpu Cao, Yimin Chen

“…Under the LFD framework, the desired speed of human drivers can be learned by PBLS and converted to the low-level control commands by a proportion integration differentiation (PID) controller. Experiments using driving simulator and real driving data show that PBLS can adapt to different drivers by reproducing their driving behaviors for LSC in different scenes. …”

Geographic Named Entity Recognition by Employing Natural Language Processing and an Improved BERT Model by Liufeng Tao, Zhong Xie, Dexin Xu, Kai Ma, Qinjun Qiu, Shengyong Pan, Bo Huang

“…We demonstrate the results of a wide-ranging evaluation of the performance of different supervised machine learning methods, which have the natural advantage of avoiding human design features. A set of controlled experiments with four test datasets (one constructed and three public datasets) demonstrates the performance of supervised machine learning that can achieve good results on the task, significantly outperforming seven baseline models.…”

The role of personality, authoritarianism and cognition in the United Kingdom’s 2016 referendum on European Union membership by Chris Sumner, John E. Scofield, Erin M. Buchanan, Mimi-Rose Evans, Matthew Shearing

“…In six studies, we examined the role of personality traits, cognition and cognitive biases in relation to referendum voters’ choices.MethodsA total of 11,225 participants completed questionnaires and controlled experiments, which assessed differences in personality traits, levels of authoritarianism, numeracy, thinking styles, and susceptibility to cognitive biases including ideologically motivated numeracy and reasoning, framing, and the Dunning-Kruger effect.ResultsParticipants expressing an intent to vote to leave the EU reported significantly higher levels of authoritarianism and conscientiousness, and lower levels of openness and neuroticism than voters expressing an intent to vote to remain in the EU. …”

Copper(I)-catalyzed asymmetric alkylation of α-imino-esters by Zong-Ci Liu, Zi-Qing Wang, Xuan Zhang, Liang Yin

“…Both linear and cyclic α-imino-esters serve as competent pronucleophiles in the alkylation, which affords α-amino acid derivatives bearing either a trisubstituted or a tetrasubstituted stereogenic carbon center in high to excellent enantioselectivity. Control experiments indicate that the α-imino-ester is activated by a chiral copper(I)-phosphine complex through coordination, thus enabling facile deprotonation to provide a stabilized copper(I)-enolate in the presence of a mild base. …”
