Generation, Detection, and Evaluation of Role-play based Jailbreak attacks in Large Language Models by Johnson, Zachary D.

“…Companies such as OpenAI employ manual tactics like red-teaming in order to enhance a LLM’s robustness against these attacks, however these tactics may fail to defend against all role-play based jailbreak attacks due to their potentially limited ability to predict unseen attacks. …”

Interplay of Transition Metals and Noncovalent Interactions in C–H Activation Catalysis by Vennelakanti, Vyshnavi

“…In this thesis, we study the interplay of noncovalent interactions and transition metals in C–H activation catalysis using quantum mechanical simulations. We employ density functional theory (DFT) and wavefunction theory to perform an extensive computational study of protein HB interactions and transition metal complex (TMC) active sites in non-heme iron halogenases and hydroxylases. …”

Multilayered siRNA nanoparticles as a delivery system for extended gene silencing effect by Ng, Alice Jie Ying

“…The 7 layered LbL NPs coated with PLR >70 000 Da and loaded with 3 layers of siRNA demonstrated the highest total siRNA content compared to other prototypes (lower PLR Mw and lesser siRNA layers) and it was employed for the subsequent in vitro tests. The 7 layered LbL NPs of HAp | PLR | siRNA | PLR | siRNA | PLR | siRNA | PLR configuration was 431.30 nm in hydrodynamic diameter with positive surface charge of 42.13 mV. …”

Referring expression segmentation: from conventional to generalized by Liu, Chang

“…We combine the strengths of both kinds of methods and propose a novel framework that can analyze the relationship among instances while maintaining the efficiency of the FCN-like network. Secondly, we employ an attention-based network to model long-range dependencies in both image and language modalities. …”

A generalised study of 3D confined jet at a wall by Lim, Raine Jia Ying

“…This study investigated the influence of varying offset height and lateral distance of a water jet on scour development near a wall, employing a confined jet scour setup. Other factors, including jet diameter, jet velocity, sediment size, and duration, were maintained at established critical values to isolate the effects of offset height and lateral distance. …”

A multi-scale attributes attention model for transport mode identification by Jiang, Guiyuan, Lam, Siew-Kei, He, Peilan, Ou, Changhai, Ai, Dihao

“…Since the learned latent local attributes are significantly different from the global features (e.g. average/min/max travel speeds which are measurable quantities), an ensemble model based on Neural Decision Forest (NDF) is employed to fuse the heterogeneous features consisting of both measurable quantities and non-measurable elements for determining the transport mode. …”

Induction of z-conformation in ribosomal RNA by Z-DNA binding domain Zα of the human double-stranded RNA deaminase I (ADAR1) by Zhao, Jing

“…As a means to characterize the induction of Z-RNA we employed solution NMR spectroscopy. We determined 3D solution structures of ZαADAR1 and ZαADAR1 mutant (N43A, Y47A) and compared binding modes of these two proteins to Z-DNA, short (5-32 residues) dsRNA oligonucleotides derived from rRNA and E.coli ribosomes. …”
