Small-island interactions: pottery from Roman Malta by Anastasi, M

“…In the first instance, a detailed study of three complete and new ceramic assemblages, including amphorae, fine, cooking and coarse wares, was undertaken. The opportunity to quantify identifiable imports and compare them with local products—the first of its kind for fine, cooking and coarse wares—provided valuable proxy data for comparing Malta with neighbouring islands and centres, and demonstrated what proportion of ceramic vessels were locally supplied, and how these changed over time. …”

Tunable quantum cascade lasers for midinfrared spectroscopic sensing by Li, Jinghao

“…To make the array a feasible source in practical spectroscopic applications, we propose a novel method using an aspherical lens and fine-tuned mini mirrors, which combine the beams from a five-element slot QCL array with a transmission efficiency of 92% to the far-field. …”

Heterotic string compactification and quiver gauge theory on toric geometry by Sun, C

“…These 16 manifolds are the only ones among the more than half a billion manifolds in the Kreuzer-Skarke (KS) list with a non-trivial fundamental group. We classify the line bundle models on these manifolds, both for SU(5) and SO(10) Grand Unified Theories (GUT), which lead to consistent supersymmetric string vacua and they have three chiral families. …”

SimSC: a simple framework for semantic correspondence with temperature learning by Li, X, Han, K, Wan, X, Prisacariu, VA

“…We discover that when fine-tuning ImageNet pre-trained backbone on the semantic matching task, L2 normalization of the feature map, a standard procedure in feature matching, produces an overly smooth matching distribution and significantly hinders the fine-tuning process. …”

Mobile phone appropriation and migrant acculturation : a case study of an Indian community in Singapore by Aricat, Rajiv George, Karnowski, Veronika, Chib, Arul

“…This research explores how the mobile phone appropriation patterns of an Indian migrant group in Singapore are linked to acculturation strategies. The circular model of mobile phone appropriation was adopted to investigate aspects of usage and handling, prestige and social identity, and metacommunication. …”

Possible mechanisms of control of Fusarium wilt of cut chrysanthemum by Phanerochaete chrysosporium in continuous cropping fields : a case study by Li, Ping, Chen, Jingchao, Li, Yi, Zhang, Kun, Wang, Hailei

“…In this study, Phanerochaete chrysosporium was inoculated into the field in which cut chrysanthemum had already been continuously cropped for five years to control wilt disease. After 120 days of cultivation, the addition of P. chrysosporium significantly improved the physiological status of plants and changed the bacterial and fungal community structure in the soil. …”

Transfer-recursive-ensemble learning for multi-day COVID-19 prediction in India using recurrent neural networks by Chakraborty, Debasrita, Goswami, Debayan, Ghosh, Susmita, Ghosh, Ashish, Chan, Jonathan H., Wang, Lipo

“…A study is conducted by building four models pre-trained on COVID-19 data from four different countries (United States of America, Brazil, Spain, and Bangladesh) and fine-tuned on India's data. Since the four countries chosen have experienced different types of infection curves, the pre-training provides a transfer learning to the models incorporating diverse situations into account. …”
