I remember your name : examining the effects of individuation training on racial bias in preschoolers by Ng, Xin Ying

“…We obtained three main findings that were consistent with our hypotheses: 1) preschoolers generally display a significant implicit and explicit biases favouring their own race, 2) training preschoolers to individuate other race resulted in significantly greater reductions in implicit racial bias than compared to a filler task, and 3) training preschoolers to individuate other race did not reduce their explicit racial bias to a greater extent than a filler task. …”

Hybrid-duplex communications for multi-UAV networks : an outage probability analysis by Tan, Ernest Zheng Hui, Madhukumar, A. S., Sirigina, Rajendra Prasad, Krishna, Anoop Kumar

“…We demonstrate that the HBD UAV communication system (HBD-UCS) can concurrently support more UAVs while achieving higher reliability than the half-duplex (HD) UCS (HD-UCS). Specifically, at low transmit power regimes, it is shown that the HBD-UCS attains lower uplink and downlink outage probability than an HD-UCS, as the UAV operating altitude is increased.…”
