Segregated interactions in urban and online space by Dong, Xiaowen, Morales, Alfredo J., Jahani, Eaman, Moro, Esteban, Lepri, Bruno, Bozkaya, Burcin, Sarraute, Carlos, Bar-Yam, Yaneer, Pentland, Alex

“…Furthermore, we find that segregation increases with difference in socio-economic status but is asymmetric for purchase activity, i.e., the amount of interaction from poorer to wealthier neighborhoods is larger than vice versa. Our results provide novel insights into the understanding of behavioral segregation in human interactions with significant socio-political and economic implications.…”

Mechanical problem solving by plush-crested jays: are tools special after all? by Lois-Milevicich, J, Rat-Fischer, L, de la Colina, MA, Gómez, RO, Reboreda, JC, Kacelnik, A

“…This association, however, is not known to be causally determinant of tool-related competence since flexibility and innovativeness are often observed in the absence of tool use and vice versa. For this reason, it is interesting to explore whether animals that can be loosely categorized as outstanding, or ‘intelligent’ physical problem solvers, are also remarkable using tools innovatively, rather than tool use presenting special constraints. …”

Performance evaluation of an ejector-based cooling system by Neo, Tiffany Bi Xuan.

“…Hence 3 evaporators will be used to cater to each temperature condition, with the higher temperature evaporator having a higher working pressure and vice versa. However, this conventional MERS is not energy efficient as much energy is loss due to the pressure differences in each evaporator when mixing occurs as the streams combine before entering the single compressor. …”

The effects of processing conditions on the morphology of single conjugated polymers. by Yeo, Hui Lin.

“…The photoluminescent lifetime of spun-cast single regioregular poly (3-hexylthiophene) (RR P3HT) was found to be significantly larger (2 – 3.5ns) than that of drop-cast chains and that in solution (<0.5ns), which likely implies a chain conformational dependence on the processing method used. …”
