Designing initiatives for vulnerable families : from theory to design in Sydney, Australia by Eastwood, John Graeme, De Souza, Denise E., Shaw, Miranda, Garg, Pankaj, Woolfenden, Susan, Tyler, Ingrid, Kemp, Lynn A.

“…Introduction: Intergenerational cycles of poverty, violence and crime, poor education and employment opportunities, psychopathology, and poor lifestyle and health behaviours require innovative models of health care delivery to break them. We describe a programme of research informed service development targeting vulnerable families in inner metropolitan Sydney, Australia that is designed to build and confirm a “Theory of Neighbourhood Context, Stress, Depression, and the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD)”. …”

Multi-stage generative adversarial networks for generating pavement crack images by Han, Chengjia, Ma, Tao, Huyan, Ju, Tong, Zheng, Yang, Handuo, Yang, Yaowen

“…To address this issue and enhance the fast and stable generation of high-quality crack images for engineering purposes, this study proposes two frameworks based on Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN): Multi-Stage GAN-v1 and Multi-Stage GAN-v2. These frameworks break down the complex task of directly generating high-quality images into a series of incremental steps, gradually increasing the image resolution from initially generated low-precision images. …”

Raising Two More Fundamental Questions Regarding the Classical Views on the Rheology of Polymer Melts by Ibar, Jean Pierre

“…The current paradigm of polymer flow assumes that (i) the effect of the molecular weight of the macromolecules, M, and of the temperature, T, on the expression of the viscosity of polymer melts separate; (ii) the molecular weight for entanglement, Mc, is independent of T; and (iii) the determination of Mc by the break in the log viscosity curve against log M unequivocally differentiates un-entangled melts from entangled melts. …”

Immediate test or delayed test : evidence of primary Mathematics learning by Arunachalam Thannimalai

“…Another preliminary aim is to examine whether conducting a test right after learning would yield worse learning outcomes compared to conducting the test after a break from learning. The secondary aim of this study is to investigate whether learner expertise has an effect on the effectiveness of usage of worked examples in instruction material for learners. …”

Spin-orbit torque magnetization switching in Co/Pt multilayers for multistate memory and logic devices by Lim, Gerard Joseph

“…A compound structure using similar switching techniques is used to develop a reconfigurable logic device, in which an integrated bias field line allows for on-chip local Oersted field generation for breaking the switching symmetry in PMA devices. The logic device is then used to construct a half-adder through the circuit simulator “Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis” (SPICE). …”
