An exposition of the Zhuangzi’s zhiyan (至言) by Koo, Hao Wei

“…It speculates that the appearances of zhiyan can, overall, be discussed under the backdrop of knowing. Specifically, the appearances of zhiyan in chapters 12–22 were discussed under different understandings of knowing such that it is possible to interpret them progressively, and relate them to the etymology of zhi (至), so as to be able to achieve a meaningful interpretation of zhiyan. …”

South Asian diasporas and (imaginary) homelands: narratives, representations and mediated exchanges by Clini, Clelia

“…Focusing on images and narratives about South Asia and its diaspora, the book aims to re-centre the political nature of representations, as it addresses the interplay between representation, imagination and identity, with a specific focus on the South Asian diasporic experience. …”

Triggered drug release and enhanced drug transport from ultrasound-responsive nanoparticles by Kwan, JJ, Coussios, CC

“…As a result, ultrasound-responsive nanoparticles have been developed to react to specific ultrasound stimuli. In this chapter, we discuss the current challenges that face drug delivery to cancer, cardiovascular, and neurological disorders. …”

A proxy-tactile reactive control for robots moving in clutter by Caroleo, G, Giovinazzo, F, Albini, A, Grella, F, Cannata, G, Maiolino, P

“…In this paper, we propose a reactive control law that simultaneously utilizes proximity and tactile feedback to perform a pick-and-place task in an unknown and cluttered environment. Specifically, the presented solution leverages proximity sensing obtained from distributed Time of Flight (ToF) sensors to avoid collision when this does not interfere with the pick-and-place task. …”

A general and efficient representation of ancestral recombination graphs by Wong, HY, Ignatieva, A, Koskela, J, Gorjanc, G, Wohns, AW, Kelleher, J

“…We present a simple formalism that defines an ARG in terms of specific genomes and their intervals of genetic inheritance, and show how it generalises these classical treatments and encompasses the outputs of recent methods. …”

Assessing perceptions of poetry through performance by Knecht, KN

“…Students are tasked with memorising 15 poems for AQA GCSE examinations, yet pressure to achieve specific grades and constraints of time can hinder their overall experience. …”

The global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) 2024 country results and methodological note by Alkire, S, Kanagaratnam, U, Suppa, N

“…Section 6 summarises the country-specific technical decisions that were applied for each of the new or updated surveys. …”

Lowering in-memory footprint of antenna beams via polynomial approximation by Taqi, A, Adámek, K, Gueuning, Q, Serylak, M, Laing, R, Armour, W

“…With the emergence of new radio telescopes promising larger fields of view at lower observation frequencies (e.g., SKA), addressing direction-dependent effects (DDE) (e.g., direction-specific beam responses), polarisation leakage, and pointing errors has become all the more important. …”

The impact of musical fit and sound design on consumers’ perception of a luxury car ad by Sze Yeoh, JP, Han, MG, Spence, C

“…This implies that specially curated sound design may help to highlight specific characteristics of a car.…”

Single cell genomics data analyses reveal novel biological insights by Hu, X

“…The aims of my research were first to comprehensively investigate the analytical aspects of single cell RNA-Seq datasets, and then to apply appropriate analytical methods best suited for each of my two research projects to identify cell-to-cell heterogeneity, in order to answer specific biomedical questions.</p>…”

It is not about AI, it is about humans. Responsibility gaps and medical AI by Giubilini, A

“…In this article I focus on the latter type and the way it is applied specifically to the case of medical AI. Focusing on the discussion of ‘responsibility gaps’ that, according to some, AI generates, I will suggest that such terminology is revealing of the nature of healthcare professional obligations and responsibility prior to and independently of the assessment of the use of AI tools in healthcare. …”

Underground climate: infrastructure, Hollow Earth, and the Anthropocene by Lund, SE

“…These works, both dealing explicitly with underground climate engineering, enact as antecedents to the core themes of the increasingly chaotic Anthropocene: either we upgrade the scope of scientific modernity, Prometheanly perfecting the planetary climate to suit our specific needs, or we start conserving nature by rewilding the planet, Soterianly freeing the environmental Other from humanity’s dire influence.…”

Clinical metagenomics: ethical issues by Johnson, T, Jamrozik, E, Ramachandran, P, Johnson, S

“…We examine each case in turn, highlighting ethical questions arising in relation to clinical issues including disclosure to patients of untreatable disease, costeffectiveness, the value of resistance testing, sensitivity and specificity, uncertain or additional findings, patient consent, and data sharing. …”

Adolphe Braun photographs of the Sistine Chapel frescoes 1872 catalogue (translated) by Issatt, F

Planning for temporally extended goals in pure-past linear temporal logic by Bonassi, L, De Giacomo, G, Favorito, M, Fuggitti, F, Gerevini, AE, Scala, E

“…PPLTL is as expressive as Linear-time Temporal Logic on finite traces (LTLf), but as shown in this paper, it is computationally much better behaved for planning. Specifically, we show that planning for PPLTL goals can be encoded into classical planning with minimal overhead, introducing only a number of new fluents that is at most linear in the PPLTL goal and no spurious additional actions. …”

Non-slipping adhesive contact between dissimilar elastic solids under normal and tangential loads by Ma, L, Chen, Y, Hills, DA

“…The interaction of adhesion and friction along the contacting interface is studied. Specifically, (i) the shear-off force of adhesive contact is proposed; (ii) the effect of tangential load on the puff-off force is presented; (iii) the influence of the normal load on the shear-off force is obtained; (iv) in the context of these results, the nominal static friction coefficient is defined and analyzed, and it is shown that the static friction coefficient is a function of external normal load, which can well explain some experimental results in the literature. …”

A sampled texture prior for image super-resolution by Pickup, LC, Roberts, SJ, Zisserman, A

“…Here we present a domain-specific im- age prior in the form of a p.d.f. based upon sampled images, and show that for certain types of super-resolution problems, this sample-based prior gives a significant improvement over other common multiple-image super-resolution techniques.…”
