Small sample sizes reduce the replicability of task-based fMRI studies by Turner, Benjamin O., Paul, Erick J., Miller, Michael B., Barbey, Aron K.

“…Using large independent samples across eleven tasks, we demonstrate the impact of sample size on replicability, assessed at different levels of analysis relevant to fMRI researchers. We find that the degree of replicability for typical sample sizes is modest and that sample sizes much larger than typical (e.g., N = 100) produce results that fall well short of perfectly replicable. …”

Long-term multi-resource fairness for pay-as-you use computing systems by Tang, Shanjiang, Niu, Zhaojie, He, Bingsheng, Lee, Bu-Sung, Yu, Ce

“…In view of the heterogeneous resource demands of users' workloads, multi-resource allocation fairness is a must for resource sharing in such pay-as-you-use computing systems. However, we find that, existing multi-resource fair policies such as Dominant Resource Fairness (DRF), implemented in currently popular resource management systems such as Apache YARN [4] and Mesos [23] , are not suitable for the pay-as-you-use computing systems. …”

Carbon storage capacity of tropical peatlands in natural and artificial drainage networks by Cobb, Alexander R., Dommain, René, Tan, Fangyi, Heng, Naomi Hwee En, Harvey, Charles F.

“…We explored the maximum amount of carbon that can accumulate as water-saturated peat in natural and artificial drainage networks of northwest and southern Borneo. We find that the maximum volume of peat accumulation in a channel-bounded parcel is proportional to the square of the parcel area times a scale-independent factor describing the shape of the parcel boundary. …”

Semantic matching in machine reading comprehension: an empirical study by Liu, Qian, Mao, Rui, Geng, Xiubo, Cambria, Erik

“…Matching coarse-grained context to questions, e.g., paragraphs, is more effective than matching fine-grained context, e.g., sentences and spans. We also find that semantic matching is helpful for answering who/where/when/what/how/which questions, whereas it decreases the MRC performance on why questions. …”
