Preliminary ground risk tiering for small unmanned aerial vehicles (sUAV) in metropolitan environments by Sivakumar, Anush Kumar, Mohd Hasrizam Che Man, Low, Kin Huat

“…In our preliminary study, a ground risk framework, adapted from Joint Authorities for Rulemaking of Unmanned Systems (JARUS) Specific Operations Risk Assessment (SORA), and a semi-quantitative ground risk matrix was established to quantitatively generate UAS failure rate thresholds as well as perform ground risk-tiering of neighborhoods. Ground risk mapping was illustrated for UAS of four different maximum take-off weight (MTOW). …”

Virtual prompt pre-training for prototype-based few-shot relation extraction by He, Kai, Huang, Yucheng, Mao, Rui, Gong, Tieliang, Li, Chen, Cambria, Erik

“…Prompt tuning with pre-trained language models (PLM) has exhibited outstanding performance by reducing the gap between pre-training tasks and various downstream applications, which requires additional labor efforts in label word mappings and prompt template engineering. However, in a label intensive research domain, e.g., few-shot relation extraction (RE), manually defining label word mappings is particularly challenging, because the number of utilized relation label classes with complex relation names can be extremely large. …”

Rapid and punctuated Late Holocene recession of Siling Co, central Tibet by Shi, Xuhua, Kirby, Eric, Furlong, Kevin P., Meng, Kai, Robinson, Ruth, Lu, Haijian, Wang, Erchie

“…Here we utilize relict shoreline deposits and associated alluvial fan features around Siling Co, the largest lake in central Tibet, to reconstruct centennial-to-millennial-scale variations in lake area and volume over the Holocene. Mapping and surveying of lacustrine shorelines coupled with optically stimulated luminescence dating of associated deposits indicate protracted occupation of a highstand elevation from >8 ka to 4 ka, followed by rapid recession that was likely punctuated by several stillstands of centennial-scale duration. …”

β-Ginkgotides: Hyperdisulfide-constrained peptides from Ginkgo biloba by Wong, Ka Ho, Tan, Wei Liang, Xiao, Tianshu, Tam, James P.

“…Proteomic analysis showed β-ginkgotides contain 18‒20 amino acids, of which 16 residues form a conserved six-cysteine core with a highly clustered cysteine spacing of C‒CC‒C‒CC, an arrangement that has not been reported in cysteine-rich peptides. Disulfide mapping revealed a novel disulfide connectivity of CysI‒IV, CysII‒VI and CysIII‒V. …”

Long-term slip rate of the southern San Andreas Fault from 10Be-26Al surface exposure dating of an offset alluvial fan by Ryerson, Frederick J., Van der Woerd, Jérôme, Klinger, Yann, Sieh, Kerry, Tapponnier, Paul, Mériaux, Anne-Sophie

“…We determine the long-term slip rate of the southern San Andreas Fault in the southeastern Indio Hills using 10Be and 26Al isotopes to date an offset alluvial fan surface. Field mapping complemented with topographic data, air photos and satellite images allows precise determination of piercing points across the fault zone that are used to measure an offset of 565 ± 80 m. …”
