Social resilience through pluralism as Singapore's centre of gravity against the impact of terrorism. by Lee, Wee Leong.

“…Thus, rather than attempt to prevent what cannot be prevented, it could be more fruitful to pre-empt the more definitive consequence of terrorism – terror, and the downstream repercussions if this terror escalates into irrational behaviour that ultimately serve the political aim of the perpetrators. In this case of Singapore, this paper argues that Singapore’s real weapon against terrorism, and the terror it seeks to inflict, is its social resilience. …”

An effective vortex detection approach for velocity vector field by Ho, Shen-Shyang.

“…The vortex detection algorithm allows one to find the exact vortex center efficiently if it is in the vector field. A special case of the algorithm has been successfully applied to cyclone annotation and tracking using QuikSCAT satellite wind measurements.…”

Commentary: stumbling upon indirect self-enhancement in free will beliefs by Ross, Wendy, Firestein, Stuart

“…A clear and well thought-out hypothesis which is grounded in the empirical literature – in this case that the better-than-average effect which has been robustly demonstrated across several domains would replicate in the domain of free will – falls at the first empirical hurdle. …”

Cross-cultural exchanges and innovation: the making of fashion in Southeast Asia by Ling, Wessie

“…To illustrate the complex interplay between geopolitics and fashion production, cultural expression within the realm of Chinese capitalism, and the regional dynamics of fashion-making, three case studies focused on Southeast Asian countries, namely Singapore, Vietnam, and Cambodia will be examined. …”

Diplomatic training and spaces of anticolonial worldmaking by Craggs, R, Harris, J, McConnell, F

“…Focusing on training for African diplomats from newly independent countries in Cameroon, Kenya and Zimbabwe, this paper makes the case for spaces of diplomatic training as sites for anticolonial ‘worldmaking’ (Getachew, 2019). …”

Road capacity, domestic trade and regional outcomes by Coşar, AK, Demir, B, Ghose, D, Young, N

“…We investigate this question for the case of Turkey, which undertook a large-scale public investment in roads during the 2000s. …”

It is not about AI, it is about humans. Responsibility gaps and medical AI by Giubilini, A

“…In this article I focus on the latter type and the way it is applied specifically to the case of medical AI. Focusing on the discussion of ‘responsibility gaps’ that, according to some, AI generates, I will suggest that such terminology is revealing of the nature of healthcare professional obligations and responsibility prior to and independently of the assessment of the use of AI tools in healthcare. …”

Emergency hysterectomy following iatrogenic injury to the descending branch of the uterine artery during colposcopy by Soleymani majd, H, Yancheva, S, Abdul, B, Hellner, K

“…Here, we present a rare case resulting in emergency hysterectomy. A healthy para 3, who had been diagnosed with microscopic cancer of the cervix, attended colposcopy for repeat excision. …”

A novel surrogate polytope method for day-ahead virtual power plant scheduling with joint probabilistic constraints by Zhou, Y, Essayeh, C, Morstyn, T

“…Then, a multivariate Gaussian distribution is used to fit the random parameters of the surrogate polytope, after which the iterative supporting hyperplane algorithm is used to solve the VPP scheduling problem. Extensive case studies based on real-world renewable generation scenarios demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed method in out-of-sample cost and reliability, with a manageable computing complexity.…”

Sparse kernel approximations for efficient classification and detection by Vedaldi, A, Zisserman, A

“…We give a method to compute sparse features for arbitrary kernels, re-deriving as a special case a popular map for the intersection kernel and extending it to arbitrary additive kernels. …”

A sampled texture prior for image super-resolution by Pickup, LC, Roberts, SJ, Zisserman, A

“…Other methods use training data to learn low-to-high-resolution matches, and have been highly successful even in the single-input-image case. Here we present a domain-specific im- age prior in the form of a p.d.f. based upon sampled images, and show that for certain types of super-resolution problems, this sample-based prior gives a significant improvement over other common multiple-image super-resolution techniques.…”
