Cognitive information systems for context-aware decision support by Teng, Teck Hou

“…Experimental results are reported using a simulated Command and Control (C2) problem domain to illustrate how the CaDS framework is able to reduce the cognitive load of the users and improve the prediction accuracies for option generation. For tapping a variety of knowledge, this thesis presents a systematic procedure for integrating domain knowledge with Reinforcement Learning (RL) using FALCON. …”

Dielectric failure mechanisms in advanced Cu/low-k interconnect architecture by Tan, Tam Lyn

“…This is due to its TDDB dependence on the inter-metal dielectric properties alone instead of the additional interface adhesion quality of the dissimilar interface between the dielectric cap and inter-metal dielectric in dielectric-capped interconnects.…”

Do dogs preferentially encode the identity of the target object or the location of others’ actions? by Lonardo, L, Völter, CJ, Hepach, R, Lamm, C, Huber, L

“…We conclude that dogs, lacking motor experience with the observed actions of grasping or kicking performed by a human or inanimate agent, might interpret such actions as directed toward a specific location rather than a specific object. …”

Colossal positive magnetoresistance in surface-passivated oxygen-deficient strontium titanite by David, Adrian, Tian, Yufeng, Yang, Ping, Gao, Xingyu, Lin, Weinan, Shah, Amish B., Zuo, Jian-Min, Prellier, Wilfrid, Wu, Tom

“…Here we report colossal positive magnetoresistance (CPMR) (>30,000% at a temperature of 2 K and a magnetic field of 9 T) discovered in degenerate semiconducting strontium titanite (SrTiO3) single crystals capped with ultrathin SrTiO3/LaAlO3 bilayers. The low-pressure high-temperature homoepitaxial growth of several unit cells of SrTiO3 introduces oxygen vacancies and high-mobility carriers in the bulk SrTiO3, and the three-unit-cell LaAlO3 capping layer passivates the surface and improves carrier mobility by suppressing surface-defect-related scattering. …”

Learning design for short-duration e-textile workshops: outcomes on knowledge and skills by Ioannou, Andri, Miliou, Ourania, Georgiou, Yiannis, Timotheou, Stella, Barkhuus, Louise, Rode, Jennifer

“…We further document a series of emerging challenges, including the children’s unwillingness to engage or lack of adeptness with software, a tension between aesthetics and construction, creativity limited by samples of previous e-textile projects, and the difficulty in grasping the materiality of e-textiles. We propose that some direct instruction and facilitation is not incompatible with the making ethos; the approach can help address these challenges, allowing young children to benefit from their participation in short-duration e-textile workshops.…”
