Dance : negotiating emotion through motion. by Chua, Nina Tsai Tse Pei.

“…Findings indicate firstly, that dancers portray emotions through bodily movements and this portrayal is a reflection of their response to their understanding of society; this tends to reproduce typifications. Secondly, dance requires dancers to practice emotion work in order to elicit certain emotions for performances, yet outside of performances; dance is an alternative reality dancers retreat to “be themselves.”…”

Gamson going global? Cabinet proportionality in comparative perspective by Chaisty, P, Power, T

“…Introducing party-system and assembly-level predictors to the debate, we find that party institutionalization tends to increase fairness in portfolio allocation within parliamentary systems only.…”

Impostor syndrome and pretense by Levy, N

“…I argue that we are especially likely to notice pretense when we’re made self-conscious, and that failing to match the stereotype of one’s profession or domain of expertise tends to give rise to self-consciousness. Self-consciousness is elicited by certain cues; this fact explains not only the greater vulnerability of the members of some groups to it, but also explains why the empirical data has not yet provided evidence for this greater vulnerability. …”

Liquid crystal spiral phase plate : design, fabrication and characterization by Wang, Qin

“…Moreover, SPP have found applications in edge contrast enhancement in microscopy, optical vortex coronagraph and generating radially polarized beams etc. Among various kinds of SPP, Liquid crystal spiral phase plates (LC SPP) have the potential advantages of dynamic switching between optical vortices with different topological charge, adaptability to any visible wavelength and capability to realize high slice number etc. …”

Learning the 3D fauna of the web by Li, Z, Litvak, D, Li, R, Zhang, Y, Jakab, T, Rupprecht, C, Wu, S, Vedaldi, A, Wu, J

“…At inference time, given a single image of any quadruped animal, our model reconstructs an articulated 3D mesh in a feed-forward manner in seconds.…”

A surface transporter family conveys the trypanosome differentiation signal by Dean, S, Marchetti, R, Kirk, K, Matthews, KR

“…This requires hypersensitization of the parasites to CCA by exposure to low temperature, conditions encountered after tsetse fly feeding at dusk or dawn. Here we identify a carboxylate-transporter family, PAD (proteins associated with differentiation), required for perception of this differentiation signal. …”

Augmented reality application for chemical engineering unit operations by Gunawan, P, Kwan, J, Cai, Y, Yang, R

“…An important example is the continuous distillation column, which operation is often seen as a black box, where the incoming feed will undergo separation process inside the column to produce desired products. …”

Dye-sensitized Pt@TiO2 core–shell nanostructures for the efficient photocatalytic generation of hydrogen by Cao, Shao-Wen, Fang, Jun, Yin, Lisha, Liao, Yusen, Xue, Can

“…When the dyes and TiO2 were co-excited through the combination of two irradiation beams with different wavelengths, a synergic effect was observed, which led to a greatly enhanced H2 generation yield. …”

Role of initially formed cake layers on limiting membrane fouling in membrane bioreactors by Wu, Bing, Kitade, Tamotsu, Chong, Tzyy Haur, Uemura, Tadahiro, Fane, Anthony Gordon

“…In this study, an interesting phenomenon was observed that when the levels of soluble polysaccharides (SP) and soluble transparent exopolymer particles (sTEP) in the MBR unexpectedly and suddenly increased, the cleaned membranes tended to be more easily fouled compared to the membranes with the initial cake layers formed in a slow TMP increase stage. …”

Post-treatment of anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) effluent using activated carbon by Mai, Do Thi, Kunacheva, Chinagarn, Stuckey, David C.

“…Anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBR) are very effective for wastewater treatment, however, with the antibiotic ciprofloxacin (CIP) (0-4.7 mg CIP/L) in the feed their performance decreases, the characteristics of the effluent changes, and further treatment is needed to recycle or discharge the treated effluent. …”

Deformable pose traversal convolution for 3D action and gesture recognition by Weng, Junwu, Liu, Mengyuan, Jiang, Xudong, Yuan, Junsong

“…This deformable convolution better utilizes the contextual joints for action and gesture recognition and is more robust to noisy joints. Moreover, by feeding the learned pose feature to a LSTM, we perform end-to-end training that jointly optimizes 3D pose representation and temporal sequence recognition. …”

Elevated glucocorticoid alters the developmental dynamics of hypothalamic neurogenesis in zebrafish by Eachus, Helen, Choi, Min-Kyeung, Tochwin, Anna, Kaspareit, Johanna, Ho, May, Ryu, Soojin

“…This is followed by failed maturation and early decline accompanied by impaired feeding, growth, and survival. In GC-exposed animals, the developmental trajectory of hypothalamic progenitor cells is strikingly altered, potentially mediated by direct regulation of transcription factors such as rx3 by GC. …”
