Repulsive Casimir effect in Chern insulators by Tiang, Bi Hong

“…The high temperature regime may diminish the hall conductivity and it tends to generate attractive Casimir force. Moreover, for the zero temperature case with higher Chern numbers C = 3, 4, 8, we suggest that it is possible to get repulsive Casimir force as the hall conductivity of two Chern Insulators has opposing signs.…”

Development and severity analysis of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) collision with covered linkway by Ng, Nathaniel Jingwei

“…A higher impact speed resulted in higher maximum contact force and displacement for both rigid impactor and UAV cases. The rigid impactor tends to overpredict the maximum contact force compared to the UAV. …”

Study of sFRP1 and β-catenin of Wnt signaling pathway in triple negative breast cancer and their correlation with clinicopathologic outcomes. by Seah, Cindy Chiou Peng.

“…Moreover, triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) tends to have a poorer prognosis. A cohort of 109 representative TNBC cases was retrieved to further study the wnt signaling pathway in TNBC by determining the expression profiles of secreted Frizzled-related protein 1 (sFRP1) and β-catenin using immunohistochemistry, and to identify the association of these protein expressions with clinicopathological characteristics and survival data and their prognostic significance, if any, in TNBC. …”

UnidecNMR: automatic peak detection for NMR spectra in 1-4 dimensions by Buchanan, C, Karunanithy, G, Tkachenko, O, Barber, M, Marty, MT, Nott, TJ, Redfield, C, Baldwin, AJ

“…While many algorithms are available to tackle this problem, their performance tends to be inferior to that of an experienced user. …”

Static elastic properties of composite materials containing microspheres by Jones, GW

“…Subsequently, we analyse the buckling criterion asymptotically in the limit as the thickness ratio tends to zero by analogy with the WKB analysis of a beam on a variable-stiffness substrate. …”

Energy transfer in the spatial evolution of double-wave-group focusing by Zhou, B, Ding, K, Xiao, Y, Wang, L, Tang, T

“…The findings reveal that a sea state with a narrower intermodal distance or an uneven distribution of the bimodal spectrum tends to induce larger waves. The third-order nonlinear interaction is primarily triggered by the transient wave focusing, as opposed to a prolonged evolution like the behavior of even-order components. …”

Framing responsibility for depression in news media: a content analysis of depression coverage on Sina Weibo by Ma, Xiaoxia, binti Mahamed, Mastura, Alwie, Aryaty

Maneuvering angle rigid formations with global convergence guarantees by Chen, Liangming, Lin, Zhiyun, De Marina, Hector Garcia, Sun, Zhiyong, Feroskhan, Mir

“…Angle rigid multi-agent formations can simultaneously undergo translational, rotational, and scaling maneuvering, therefore combining the maneuvering capabilities of both distance and bearing rigid formations. However, maneuvering angle rigid formations in 2D or 3D with global convergence guarantees is shown to be a challenging problem in the existing literature even when relative position measurements are available. …”

Understanding the usage of physical activity tracking devices by Lam, Pui Shan

“…A total of 305 participants completed a self-reported questionnaire of which 160 participants were currently using an activity tracker, 58 were past users and 87 had never used one before. Older participants tended to use an activity tracker if it was given for free compared with younger participants (p = 0.010). …”

Analysis of rainfall datasets for major Asian cities (Jakarta) by Loke, Jun Wei.

“…TRMM is highly reliable for the accounts of the frequency and duration of rainy days while APHRODITE tends to overestimate to a larger extent. While expecting datasets to be able to capture peak/extreme values better, results showed low agreement of product datasets capturing extreme events as recorded by the ground gauges. …”
