Random walk models in the life sciences: including births, deaths and local interactions by Plank, M, Simpson, M, Baker, R

Life is uncertain: inherent variability exhibited by organisms, and at higher levels of biological organization by Bull, JW

“…Important practical implications arise if organisms can indeed be defined by an association with specific classes of inherent uncertainty: not least that isolating those signatures then provides a potential means for detecting life, for considering the forms that life could theoretically take, and for exploring the wider limits to how life might become distributed. …”

Proterozoic microfossils continue to provide new insights into the rise of complex eukaryotic life by Anderson, RP, Mughal, S, Wedlake, GO

Visualising human life in volumetric cities: city digital twins and other disasters by Rose, G

Prediction of international rice production using long short- term memory and machine learning models by Arya, Suraj, Anju, ., Nor Azuana, Ramli

“…By predicting its production, we can develop a global plan for its production and stock, thereby preventing issues like famine. This paper proposes machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models like linear regression, ridge regression, random forest (RF), adaptive boosting (AdaBoost), categorical boosting (CatBoost), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), gradient boosting, decision tree, and long short-term memory (LSTM) to predict international rice production. …”

Repeat expansion detection in neurodegenerative diseases with CRISPR/Cas9-targeted long read sequencing by Phua, Kimberly

“…Neurodegenerative diseases are broadly characterised by degeneration and loss of neurons in the brain over time which affects the quality of life of affected individuals. Recently, new associations of repeat expansions with various neurodegenerative diseases have been reported and point to a landscape of genomic alterations that have not been well-studied in neurodegenerative diseases. …”

Graph attention informer for long-term traffic flow prediction under the impact of sports events by Song, Yaofeng, Luo, Ruikang, Zhou, Tianchen, Zhou, Changgen, Su, Rong

“…However, due to the complexity of traffic maps and external factors, such as sports events, these models cannot perform well in long-term prediction. In order to enhance the accuracy and robustness of the model on long-term time series prediction, a Graph Attention Informer (GAT-Informer) structure is proposed by combining the graph attention layer and informer layer to capture the intrinsic features and external factors in spatial-temporal correlation. …”

Molecular beam epitaxy of dilute nitride indium antimonide materials for long wavelength infrared application by Pham, Huynh Tram

“…By adding a small amount of N into InSb, the band gap is found to decrease and this is useful for long wavelength infrared detector application. The main objectives of this thesis are to investigate the effect of N incorporation in InSbN and control the N incorporation to obtain the desired band gap. …”

Automatic and efficient long term arm and hand tracking for continuous sign language TV broadcasts by Pfister, T, Charles, J, Everingham, M, Zisserman, A

“…Our framework replicates the state-of-the-art long term tracker by Buehler et al. (IJCV 2011), but does not require the manual annotation and, after automatic initialisation, performs tracking in real-time. …”

Organizing long duration interdependence in Lloyd’s of London: persistence in a part-whole paradox of organizing by Kilminster, W, Jarzabkowski, P, Giudici, A

“…How interorganizational groups manage these ‘paradoxes of organizing’ to ensure long-term survival remains, however, unclear. We investigate this phenomenon through a historical case study of Lloyd’s of London, arguably the most prominent and long-standing interorganizational group in the global insurance industry. …”
