Applications of classification of C*-algebras by Neagu, R-M

“…In the tracial case, we obtain similar results for all finite classifiable C^∗-algebras with real rank zero.</p> <br> <p>In the last chapter, we use classification techniques involving the trace-kernel extension to show that the property that all amenable traces are quasidiagonal is invariant under homotopy for separable exact C^∗-algebras that have a faithful amenable trace.…”

Drivers for adopting Malaysian timber certification scheme/programme for the endorsement of forest certification chain of custody certification in Malaysia by Murughan, M., Roslan, Mohamad M.K., Zubaidah, H., Johar, M., Seca, G., Pakhriazad, H.Z.

“…While the number of MTCS/PEFC CoC certification certificate holders has been increasing significantly over the last two decades, it is important to explore what drives these timber and timber products companies to adopt this certification. …”

Winning Models for Grade Point Average, Grit, and Layoff in the Fragile Families Challenge by Rigobon, Daniel E., Jahani, Eaman, Suhara, Yoshihiko, AlGhoneim, Khaled, Alghunaim, Abdulaziz, Pentland, Alex, Almaatouq, Abdullah

“…The authors’ modular and collaborative approach parallelized prediction tasks and relied primarily on existing data science techniques, including (1) data preprocessing: elimination of low variance features, imputation of missing data, and construction of composite features; (2) feature selection through univariate mutual information and extraction of nonzero least absolute shrinkage and selection operator coefficients; (3) three machine learning models: random forest, elastic net, and gradient-boosted trees; and finally (4) prediction aggregation according to performance. …”

Improving Attention Using Wearables via Haptic and Multimodal Rhythmic Stimuli by Whitmore, Nathan W, Chan, Samantha, Zhang, Jingru, Chwalek, Patrick, Chin, Sam, Maes, Pattie

“…We found that combined sound and light stimuli from a glasses device provided the strongest improvement to attention but were the least usable and socially acceptable. Haptic vibration stimuli from a wristband also improved attention and were the most usable and socially acceptable. …”

Quantification of capsaicinoids in chillies by solid-phase extraction coupled with voltammetry by Chan, Kwok Kiong, Muhammad Shafique Bin Hamid, Webster, Richard David

“…Linear calibration curves for voltammetry measurements were obtained from low ppm up to at least 1400 ppm of capsaicinoids, with concentrations being detected in the different source extracts (paprika, tabasco sauce, cayenne pepper, and fresh chillies) from approximately 17 to 430 ppm, which corresponded to values of between approximately 130 and 4000 ppm, respectively, present in the original samples.…”
