Nonreciprocal phenomena in superconductivity by Davydova, Marharyta

“…We then propose a new phase diagram for the triangular lattice Hubbard model in a magnetic field as well as multiple experimental signatures. We hope that the prediction of the spin polaron, which has since been experimentally confirmed, will give rise to novel mechanisms for superconductivity and correlated orders in doped Hubbard models.…”

A proposal for a technology-assisted approach to wildlife management in Singapore by Chen, Melvin, Tan, Alvin De Jun, Quek, Wei Liang, Chahed, Haroun

“…Among the results that will be discussed are the following: a significant decline in the number of macaque sightings at Student Residences over the weekend, a majority of the reported macaque sightings occurring in the early evening, no significant difference in the damage and proximity scores over time, and a trend in observed macaque activity at critical sleep-relevant time intervals and areas on campus. We hope that our approach will promote, through an improved and data-driven understanding of macaque behavioural trends, technology-assisted decision-making and a more harmonious co-existence between humans and macaques on campus and in Singapore. …”
