Recognising rotationally symmetric surfaces from their outlines by Forsyth, DA, Mundy, JL, Zisserman, A, Rothwell, CA

“…We show, using images of real scenes, that these representations identify surfaces from their outline alone. This leads to fast and effective recognition of curved surfaces. …”

Price reform in Kuwait’s electricity and water: assessing the benefits by Fattouh, B, Mahadeva, L

“…Kuwait’s electricity and water sector has been in disarray for several years, struggling with several decades of fast-rising demand resulting from industrialization, rapid population growth, rising living standards amongst its citizens, as well as the artificially low consumer prices set by the government. …”

Flow and deformation due to periodic loading in a soft porous material by Fiori, M, Pramanik, S, Macminn, CW

Gigantic floating leaves occupy a large surface area at an economical material cost by Box, F, Erlich, A, Guan, JH, Thorogood, C

“…Leaf gigantism in waterlilies may have been driven by selection pressures favoring a large surface area at an economical material cost, for outcompeting other plants in fast-drying ephemeral pools.</p>…”

An Improved Interaction Model for Non-Visual Overviews of Complex Data Table Using Touch Screen Display with Audio Feedback (S/O 13066) by Zainal Abidin, Ahmad Hisham, Abdul Mutalib, Ariffin, Zaibon, Syamsul Bahrin

“…This is important for the blind user to read a complex data table and get the required data as fast as possible. The study so far revealed that using touch screen with audio feedback, the blind people achieved more accurate orientation. …”

Minimum variance benchmark for performance assessment of decentralized controllers by Sendjaja, Antonius Yudi, Kariwala, Vinay

“…In this paper, we present a method for computing a lower bound on the least output variance achievable using decentralized controllers, where the nonconvexity of the optimization problem is handled using sums of squares programming. …”

Assessing racism in Singapore : replacing Singapore's customary focus on intentionality with a focus on impacts by Lee, Lavelle Wen Ning

“…As such, instances of covert racism (racism that does not initially appear to be racist) often escape detection—or at the very least, face much smaller consequences. Even as Singapore continues to promote racial harmony and regard multiculturalism as a major characteristic of its national identity, the reality is that racism continues to thrive in Singapore, mainly because of its inability to acknowledge more subtle instances of racism. …”

Biofuel : impact on global economy. by Ho, Sarah Shu Ching., Seah, Patricia Kai Ling.

“…The key determinants of biofuel production used in our analysis are Gross National Income (GNI), agricultural land, share of renewable energy (SRE) out of total primary energy supply, CO2 emissions, and poverty rate. By using ordinary least squares (OLS) regression to examine these factors, we have found that all but SRE contribute significantly to production of biofuel.…”

Optimization of SMART-based PCR for amplification from picogram amounts of RNA. by Lin, Zhaoting.

“…The number of genes which expressed at least three-fold change generally decreased with the amount of total RNA input used for amplification, suggesting that the relative abundance of differentially expressed genes is not as well maintained and becomes more variable when total RNA input approaches minute amounts.…”
