Going postdigital : presenting and promoting digital art within contemporary digital culture by Grba, Dejan

“…Combined with glitches of human cognition such as confirmation bias, framing and heuristic reasoning, this contributes to our prevailing illusion that today digital art is widely recognized, well established and adequately evaluated. …”

Proteomic and metabolomic analyses of the human adult myocardium reveal ventricle-specific regulation in end-stage cardiomyopathies by Hunter, B, Li, M, Parker, BL, Koay, YC, Harney, DJ, Pearson, E, Cao, J, Chen, GT, Guneratne, O, Smyth, GK, Larance, M, O’Sullivan, JF, Lal, S

“…Inter-ventricular significance of these metabolic pathways was then found to be diminished within end-stage dilated cardiomyopathy and ischaemic cardiomyopathy, while heart failure-associated pathways were increased in the left ventricle relative to the right within ischaemic cardiomyopathy, such as fluid sheer-stress, increased glutamine-glutamate ratio, and down-regulation of contractile proteins, indicating a left ventricular pathological bias.…”

Symmetry and generalisation in machine learning by Elesedy, B

“…This constitutes a rigorous proof that symmetry, in the form of invariance or equivariance, is a useful inductive bias.</p> <br> <p>We apply these ideas to equivariance and invariance in random design least squares and kernel ridge regression respectively. …”

Revisiting project delivery performance: evidence from Swedish transport infrastructure by Chapman, P

“…Both road and rail investments proved economically profitable and were typically delivered to budget, evidence that questions theory claiming optimism bias and malicious agency dynamics such as strategic misrepresentation are endemic in decision-making during planning and persistently cause poor project performance. …”

Combining experimental and observational data through a power likelihood by Lin, X, Tarp, JM, Evans, RJ

“…In contrast, observational data are becoming increasingly accessible in large volumes but can be subject to bias as a result of hidden confounding. Given these complementary features, we propose a power likelihood approach to augmenting RCTs with observational data to improve the efficiency of treatment effect estimation. …”

Search for QCD instantons at the LHC using the ATLAS Detector by Harris, YT

“…Despite the deployment of DNNs, signal discrimination has proved to be difficult, with instanton event kinematics being very similar to those of the minimum-bias background events. Blinded results show that the analysis has an expected exclusion sensitivity to a signal strength value of $\mu = 412.6^{+151.9}_{ −110.3}$.…”

Nonlinear regression approach to estimating Johnson SB parameters for diameter data by Abd Kudus, Kamziah, Ahmad, M I, Lapongan, Jaffirin

“…Results suggested that the nonlinear regression method was superior for estimating parameters of the Johnson S(B) distribution for diameter data in terms of bias, root mean square error, and goodness-of-fit tests.…”

Technical Tender Evaluation Using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) by Mohamed, Nor Hafizah, Lamsali, Hendrik, Sathyamoorthy, Dinesh

“…AHP also provides more accurate results with minimal bias. It is expected that the findings of this study will be beneficial to improve the existing procurement system. …”

Digital problem-based learning in health professions : systematic review and meta-analysis by the digital health education collaboration by Car, Lorainne Tudor, Kyaw, Bhone Myint, Dunleavy, Gerard, Smart, Neil A., Semwal, Monika, Rotgans, Jerome Ingmar, Low-Beer, Naomi, Campbell, James

“…Two authors independently screened studies, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias. We contacted study authors for additional information, if necessary. …”

Stronger dielectric-elastomer grippers using spine-like bending structure by Heng, Kim Rui

“…The actuator finds equilibrium in bending when the pre-stretch is released and it can unfolds by the application of a voltage bias. Such stiff frame is usually not bendable by any pre-stretched elastomer; however, this work demonstrates a new concept of bending stiff frames and fabricating these stronger spine-like grippers. …”

Analysis of strategies in translating idiomatic expressions from English into Malay by Farah Syazana Suhaimi

“…Due to the Eurocentric bias in translation studies as argued by Haroon & Abdul Majid (2015), few researchers have addressed idiom translation strategies from English to Malay. …”

HTX: a tool for the exploration and visualization of high-throughput image assays by Arteta, C, Lempitsky, V, Zak, J, Lu, X, Noble, JA, Zisserman, A

“…Existing packages for this task either require expert annotations, which can bias the outcome of the study, or are completely unsupervised, failing to leverage the information present in the assay design. …”

Random walk models in the life sciences: including births, deaths and local interactions by Plank, M, Simpson, M, Baker, R

“…In recent decades, research has increasingly been directed towards models that include interactions, including physical crowding effects and local biological processes such as adhesion, competition, dispersal, predation and adaptive directional bias. In this article, we review the progress that has been made with models of interacting individuals. …”

Toward an Asian-based bodily movement database for emotional communication by Cheng, M, Tseng, C, Fujiwara, K, Higashiyama, S, Weng, A, Kitamura, Y

“…To address the obvious risk this bias poses to academic comprehension, we attempted to expand the current repertoire of human bodily emotions by recruiting Asian professional performers to wear whole-body suits with 57 retroreflective markers attached to major joints and body segments, and express seven basic emotions with whole-body movements in a motion-capture lab. …”

Up to no good? Gender, social impact work, and employee promotions by Bode, C, Rogan, M, Singh, J

“…A vignette experiment involving 893 managers shows that lower promotion rates are due to lower perceptions of fit, but not commitment, and greater bias against male participants by male evaluators. …”

Measurement method options to investigate digital screen technology use by children and adolescents: a narrative review by Beynon, A, Hendry, D, Lund Rasmussen, C, Rohl, AL, Eynon, R, Thomas, G, Stearne, S, Campbell, A, Harris, C, Zabatiero, J, Straker, L

“…Current evidence is limited by the weakness of measures typically used to characterise screen use, predominantly proxy- or self-reports with known inaccuracy and bias. However, robust and detailed evidence is needed to provide practical trustworthy guidance to families and professionals working with families. …”

Investigation of operational characteristics of vanadium redox flow batteries by Rajagopalan Badrinarayanan

“…Three modes were proposed in this study namely, autonomous, time bias and energy bias. These modes, however, are a non-exhaustive fragment of the many control modes that can be achieved.…”
