Choice as an engine of independence : implications for employee voice and managerial decision making by Nanakdewa, Kevin

“…For example, people can either have a choice or not, or people can have more versus fewer alternatives to select from. In the present paper, I extended an emerging stream of research on the “choice mindset”, which highlights the subjective aspect of choice. …”

Optimized GPU algorithms for sparse data problems by Pham, Nguyen Quang Anh

“…While some of the techniques are problem specific, others can be generalized to deal with issues common to many GPU based sparse data computations. Our SpMV algorithm is based on compacting a sparse matrix to increase its density and regularity of data access, and also making use of the GPU’s fast shared memory to increase the efficiency of repeated SpMV computations. …”

Resilient power systems operation with offshore wind farms and cloud data centers by Liu, Shengwei, Li, Yuanzheng, Liu, Xuan, Zhao, Tianyang, Wang, Peng

“…Based on Lagrange duality, this problem is reformulated into its deterministic counterpart and solved by a novel decomposition method with hybrid cuts, admitting fewer iterations and a faster convergence rate. The effectiveness of the proposed resilient management strategy is verified through case studies conducted on the modified IEEE-RTS 24 system, which includes 4 data centers and 5 offshore wind farms.…”

From public health to AI safety: improving machine learning approaches by collecting, selecting, or reducing the need for high-quality data by Brauner, J

“…Our approach offers a potential remedy: We generate training data by simply prompting an LLM with instructions to lie, making it easy to collect a large dataset. …”

Simulation-based optimization and experimental comparison of intracranial T2-weighted DANTE-SPACE vessel wall imaging at 3T and 7T by De Buck, M, Hess, A, Jezzard, P

“…</p> <br> <p><strong>Results:</strong> At 7T, more vessel wall signal can be retained while still achieving sufficient CSF suppression by using fewer DANTE pulses than described in previous implementations. …”

Tonsillectomy or adenotonsillectomy versus non‐surgical treatment for chronic/recurrent acute tonsillitis by Burton, MJ, Glasziou, PP, Chong, LY, Venekamp, RP

“…<br> When we pooled the data from two studies in adults (156 participants), there were 3.6 fewer episodes (95% CI 7.9 fewer to 0.70 more; low quality evidence) in the group receiving surgery within six months post‐surgery. …”

Tracking and detecting objects in image sequence by Wang, Li

“…In this work, a feature learning algorithm is proposed for visual object tracking to learn hierarchical features by using tree structure based Recursive Neural Networks (RNN), which have fewer parameters and do not require any network pre-training on auxiliary data. …”

Sustaining antimicrobial stewardship in a high-antibiotic resistance setting by Ng, Tat Ming, Heng, Shi Thong, Chua, Boon Hou, Ang, Li Wei, Tan, Sock Hoon, Tay, Hui Lin, Yap, Min Yi, Quek, Jason, Teng, Christine B., Young, Barnaby Edward, Lin, Ray, Ang, Brenda, Lee, Tau Hong, Lye, David C.

“…Design, Setting, and Participants: This cohort study used an interrupted time series with segmented regression analysis of data from January 2007 to December 2018. Data were extracted from the electronic medical records of patients admitted at a large university teaching hospital with high rates of antibiotic resistance in Singapore. …”

Inferring structural variant cancer cell fraction by Cmero, M, Yuan, K, Ong, CS, Schröder, J, PCAWG Evolution and Heterogeneity Working Group, Corcoran, NM, Papenfuss, T, Hovens, CM, Markowetz, F, Macintyre, G, PCAWG Consortium

“…We find that SVclone's performance is comparable to single-nucleotide variant-based methods, despite having an order of magnitude fewer data points. As part of the Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes (PCAWG) consortium, which aggregated whole-genome sequencing data from 2658 cancers across 38 tumour types, we use SVclone to reveal a subset of liver, ovarian and pancreatic cancers with subclonally enriched copy-number neutral rearrangements that show decreased overall survival. …”

Evaporation and crystallisation of saline droplet with surfactant on smooth surfaces by Wong, Dennis Kin Wai

“…While numerous studies have investigated the impact of surfactants on liquid droplets, very little research has been conducted on surfactants with opposing charges mixed with salt solutions. This project aims to examine the evaporative dynamics and crystallisation patterns of surfactant saline solutions. …”
