Proactive spectrum sensing and spectrum sharing for cognitive radio by Ian Bajaj

“…In actuality this is impractical, and there is no way for the CR to ascertain the actual interference it deals to the LU. Thus we propose a supervised probing and sensing model that enables a CR to estimate the magnitude of the cross-channel link between itself and the LU, thus allowing for interference-shielding. …”

Missing links in The China Model by Li, Chenyang

“…For example, when the Chinese government was [End Page 568] using harmony as a leading motif for policies, while some people would say anything in praise of harmony in order to please the government, there were also many who chose to turn their back on topics related to harmony in order to avoid being perceived as dancing to the music of the government.…”

Meeting of minds: narratives as a tool to reduce prejudice toward stigmatized group members by Kim, Nuri, Lim, Cui Min

“…Findings indicate that first-person narratives are more effective than third-person narratives in inducing social presence of the stigmatized outgroup character; photos, unexpectedly, did not have such an effect. Social presence, in turn, plays a key role in facilitating positive intergroup outcomes from reading online narrative texts. …”

Towards precision dosing of nanoparticles in mammalian cells by Singh, Hemang Raj

“…Current in vitro assays of nanotoxicity studies rely on suspension-based delivery of ENMs into cells, which are in turn internalised by endocytosis. However, transformations of ENMs in suspension affect mass transport of particles from media to the cells, failure to characterise accurate dosages of NPs delivered into cells result in some of the disparity between in vitro and in vivo toxicity assays. …”

Effect of food texture on impression formation and prosocial behaviors by Tan, Kah Min

“…Many studies have showcased that particular tastes can influence judgements and behaviors but no studies to date has explored the extent to which how food texture can affect social perception and in turn influence behaviors. The present study seeks to investigate the metaphorical link between food texture and social perception along with social behaviors. …”
