New algorithms and VLSI architectures for efficient RNS computations by Tay, Thian Fatt

“…A new algorithm is proposed to directly map the residues of signed integers from one modulo-arithmetic friendly base S1 ≡ {2^n-1, 2^(n+k), 2^n+1} to another S2 ≡ {2^(n-α)-1, 2^(n+k-α), 2^(n-α)+1}, to reduce the word lengths of residue arithmetic operators by α bits. …”

Deep Reinforcement Learning in complex environments by Nardelli, N

“…Secondly, in a single-agent version of the same problem, we investigate how DRL can be used to develop a set of parameter-efficient differentiable planning modules to solve path-planning tasks with complex environment dynamics and variable map sizes. We show that the modules enable learning to plan when the environment also includes stochastic elements, providing a cost-efficient learning system to build low-level size-invariant planners for a variety of interactive, hard navigation problems. …”

Multiple introductions of NRCS-A Staphylococcus capitis to the neonatal intensive care unit drive neonatal bloodstream infections: a case-control and environmental genomic survey by Lees, EA, Gentry, J, Webster, H, Sanderson, N, Eyre, D, Wilson, D, Lipworth, S, Crook, D, Wong, THN, Mark, A, Jeffery, K, Paulus, S, Young, BC

“…Reads from all samples were mapped to a hybrid assembly of a local sterile site strain, forming a complete UK NRCS-A reference genome, for outbreak analysis and comparison with 826 other S. capitis from the UK and Germany.…”

Investigation of charge transport in nanofiber based solar cells by Sabba Dharani

“…Therefore one dimensional nanostructures are being explored as a replacement for nanoparticles with the aim of improving charge transport by providing a directional path for charge percolation and by reducing the surface traps and density of grain bound- aries associated with nanoparticles. …”

Effects of microwave frying on physicochemical properties of edible oils and quality of potato chips by Elfaitouri, Taher A.Houssein

“…The oil distribution in microwaved potato chips fried under different microwave frying conditions showed that a crust developed during microwave frying. Oil was trapped only in intercellular spaces, which was strongly linked to the microstructure (not only in intercellular spaces but also over some cells). …”

Induction of z-conformation in ribosomal RNA by Z-DNA binding domain Zα of the human double-stranded RNA deaminase I (ADAR1) by Zhao, Jing

“…ZαADAR1 mut also lacks the ability to induce Z-conformation in DNA and RNA. We also mapped the binding interfaces of ZαADAR1 to Z-DNA, Z-RNA and E.coli ribosomes, and found them to be identical. …”

Complexities of the San Andreas fault near San Gorgonio Pass : implications for large earthquakes by Yule, Doug, Sieh, Kerry

“…This association enables us to construct a structure contour map of the fault plane. The large step in the base of seismicity downdip from the SGP-GH-CVB fault system probably reflects a several kilometers offset of the midcrustal brittle-plastic transition. …”

Interface engineering for organic−inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells by Foo, Shini

“…To address these challenges, intensive developments have been made recently to interfacial engineering so as to reduce the amount of undesirable trap states in OIHP solar cells. Although significant progress has been made to improve the device performance and stability of OIHP solar cells using interfacial engineering, the preferable properties of passivation material utilized at various interfaces are often overlooked. …”
