The shutdown problem: an AI engineering puzzle for decision theorists by Thornley, E

“…I explain and motivate the shutdown problem: the problem of designing artificial agents that (1) shut down when a shutdown button is pressed, (2) don’t try to prevent or cause the pressing of the shutdown button, and (3) otherwise pursue goals competently. …”

DNA-Methylation Patterns in Trisomy 21 Using Cells from Monozygotic Twins by Sailani, M. Reza, Santoni, Federico A., Letourneau, Audrey, Borel, Christelle, Makrythanasis, Periklis, Hibaoui, Youssef, Popadin, Konstantin, Bonilla, Ximena, Guipponi, Michel, Gehrig, Corinne, Vannier, Anne, Carre-Pigeon, Frederique, Feki, Anis, Nizetic, Dean, Antonarakis, Stylianos E.

“…This observation is concordant with the up regulation of DNA methyltransferase enzymes (DNMT3B and DNMT3L) and down regulation of DNA demethylation enzymes (TET2 and TET3) observed in the iPSC of the T21 versus normal twin. …”

Developing a system that uses ultrawide-band inertial measurement units to quantify selected 10-Pin skills in real-time by Wee, Joel Jiewei

“…Ten-pin bowling is a unique abstract sport that requires bowlers to deliver a 11-to-16-pound ball in a five-step approach for the ball to travel down the oiled lane to knock down 10 pins. This can be achieved through consistency in timing of the approach, accuracy of movement and reliance on equipment such as a bowling ball. …”

Development of biocementation methods for clayey soils by Ang, Jason Yong Seng

“…One way to overcome such a problem is to use non-granular materials like excavated soil, industrial wastes, or marine clay dredged from the sea for reclamation. The down side to these type non-granular types of fill materials is that they are usually soft and thus have to be treated before it can be used for reclamation. …”
