Self-similar sketch by Vedaldi, A, Zisserman, A

“…We introduce the self-similar sketch, a new method for the extraction of intermediate image features that combines three principles: detection of self-similarity structures, nonaccidental alignment, and instance-specific modelling. The method searches for self-similar image structures that form nonaccidental patterns, for example collinear arrangements. …”

Construction of novel optical imaging probes and their applications in bioassays by Shao, Qing

“…In this technology, well-designed imaging probes are required to report the interested biological events with efficient signal contrast and specific target recognition. In this thesis, the author describes the development of novel optical imaging probes for detection of specific biological targets (e.g. bacterial β-lactamase, antibiotic resistant bacteria and reporter enzyme firefly luciferase). …”

Genetic, genomic and systems biology analysis of adaptive evolution of budding yeast to the deletion of essential genes by Liu, Gaowen

“…Accordingly we showed that the presence of either specific aneuploidies or a specific gene on the aneuploid chromosome was required and sufficient to bypass the lethality of genes belonging to the same functional module. …”

Polypyrrole/multi-walled carbon nanotube based nanocomposites as electrode materials for supercapacitors applications by Ng, Daniel Hoe Zhiat.

“…According to previous studies, it was found that supercapacitors made of electrode material such as polypyrrole/acid-functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes composites have shown great improvement in specific capacitances and specific energy. Hence this report was written about the electrochemical and thermal performance of polypyrrole/acid-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes composite electrode material in comparison with pristine polypyrrole and polypyrrole /MWCNTs composite.…”

Structural characterization of vaccinia-related kinase 1 (VRK1), a histone mitotic kinase by Ngow, Yeen Shian

“…Currently, there are ~37 FDA-approved kinase inhibitors available, and most of them belong to this category, implying the importance of kinase inhibitor discovery and at the same time posing a challenge toward designing specific kinase inhibitors. Therefore, a three-dimensional portrait of VRK1 with its substrate will provide structural insights into developing specific inhibitors for VRK1 which lacks cross-reactivity with other kinases. …”

Me or the machine, who decides? Acceptance spillover of digital automation for a sustainable transition by Vrain, E

“…<p>To meet net zero targets and achieve a sustainable transition, the electricity network needs to become more integrated, decentralised, and flexible. Digitalisation – specifically provided through algorithms and automation – of daily life activities has huge potential to enable such a network. …”

uCAP: an unsupervised prompting method for vision-language models by Nguyen, AT, Tai, KS, Chen, BC, Shukla, SN, Yu, H, Torr, P, Tian, TP, Lim, SN

“…To overcome this bottleneck, this paper proposes uCAP, a method to automatically learn domain-specific prompts/contexts using only unlabeled in-domain images. …”

Strengthening the policy impact of multidimensional metrics given attention constraints: constructing linked metrics by Alkire, S, Vaz, A, Oldiges, C

“…This paper therefore recommends developing linked and synergistic measures for vulnerable groups that maximise common ground, while offering population-specific insights. We illustrate our general proposal by building an individual linked Child Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) that uses the already-identified deprivations of each child according to Nepal’s National MPI, and appends to this two age-specific indicators using parameters that cohere with the National MPI. …”
