What Dicey forgot by Barber, NW

“…This chapter argues that the imperial critique of Dicey is correct, but that the remedy can be found in Dicey’s own work, in his discussion of sovereignty and in the hints he dropped about the social basis of the rule of law. In each case, a link is drawn between the community and the law that regulates it, a link that renders the rule of law morally defensible and efficacious. …”

Liquid state machine with dendritically enhanced readout for low-power, neuromorphic VLSI implementations by Roy, Subhrajit, Banerjee, Amitava, Basu, Arindam

“…We show that compared to a single perceptron using analog weights, this architecture for the readout can attain, even by using the same number of binary valued synapses, up to 3.3 times less error for a two-class spike train classification problem and 2.4 times less error for an input rate approximation task. …”

Organic donor-acceptor cocrystals for multiferroic applications by Wang, Zongrui, Zhang, Qichun

“…The cocrystallization strategy has provided an efficient route to fulfill room temperature magnetoelectricity in single phase owing to the long-range ordered π-π stacking (donor-acceptor assembled) network, long-lived excitons (with μs lifetime), spin orders (±1/2 s pin) and charge transfer (CT) dipoles in the assembled crystal lattice. …”

On domain knowledge organization and extraction in software engineering by Ye, Deheng

“…Through this study, we obtain an overall understanding of the domain knowledge organization, correlation and evolution, which inspires further research on extracting and linking software engineering knowledge. 2) we propose semi-supervised methods for extracting software-specific named entities, such as API mentions, from informal natural language text. 3) we develop automated techniques to link semantically linkable knowledge at document-level, and to link a recognized API mention to its fully qualified form as appeared in the API documentation at entity-level. …”

Wear behaviour of NiTi shape memory alloys by Yan, Lina

“…For example, since mechanical properties of NiTi SMAs are close to those of cortical bones, NiTi SMA based implants such as joint replacements, bone plates, and spine fracture fixations were developed. However, complex wear modes on the surface may cause undesired reactions from neighboring tissues, leading to a serious inflammation of the human body. …”
