Simulation based safety assessment of autonomous vehicles by Jeyaraj, Sherine

“…However, physical testing on the road or on a test circuit has several limitations including the potential risk of causing damage to life and property. This brings out the need for scenario-based virtual testing of critical situations that can be reproduced in a realistic simulation environment, where the AV software can be allowed to operate independently in different conditions. …”

The limits of agency: aspirational frustrations amongst working-class Chinese youths by Jiang, E

“…Specifically, I argue that agency is exercised in cases when means and ends fit together, and this tenuous relationship between means and ends depend on an array of factors, which are often changeable in principle even if they do not change in real life. Along the way, I describe how amongst my Chinese interlocutors, the standards of agency – the normative assumptions of what counts as agentive – are tethered to aspirations to participate in the middle class.…”

Insights into the behaviour of biomolecules on the early Earth: The concentration of aspartate by layered double hydroxide minerals by Grégoire, B, Erastova, V, Geatches, DL, Clark, SJ, Greenwell, HC, Fraser, D

“…The role of mineral surfaces in concentrating and facilitating the polymerisation of simple protobiomolecules during the Hadean and Archean has been the subject of much research in order to constrain the conditions that may have led to the origin of life on early Earth. Here we examine the adsorption of the amino acid aspartate on layered double hydroxide minerals, and use a combined computer simulation – experimental spectroscopy approach to gain insight into the resulting structures of the host-aspartate material. …”
