Scenes of misrecognition (Koltès, Duras) by Killeen, M-C

“…What is most fascinating about these works is the curious way in which they appear to bear all the markings of confessions yet pointedly refuse to behave like them, thwarting the desire for revelation, catharsis, and closure at every turn. …”

FPGA based LFMCW generator for small target detection and ranging by Foo, Yong Jie

“…However, drones are harder to detect using pulse radar as their radar cross section is smaller and they fly at low speeds, burying the signal in the radar clutter. FMCW radar allows continuous transmission and thus increases the signal-to-noise to ease detection. …”

Accurate and efficient evaluation method of moments matrix based on a generalized analytical approach by Liu, Z. H., Chua, E. K., See, Kye Yak

“…Based on an analytical expression for the integration of the free-space Green's function involving any combination of basis and test functions, an accurate and highly e±cient method to determine the Method of Moments matrix has been developed. A full analytical expression is obtained through direct integration of the Taylor's series expansion of the free-space Green's function. …”

Computational modeling reveals optimal strategy for kinase transport by microtubules to nerve terminals by Koon, Yen Ling, Koh, Cheng Gee, Chiam, Keng-Hwee

“…Similarly, there exists a range of kinesin motor speeds for which JNK transport is optimal. Signaling rate and signal amplification increases with kinesin motor speed until the speed of motor translocation becomes faster than kinase/scaffold-motor binding. …”

Functional genetics of cancer and congenital disorders by Zak, J

“…An integrative analysis of cancer genomic data revealed that <em>PPP1R13B</em>, encoding ASPP1, bears many hallmarks of a tumour suppressor gene, despite being mutated at a low absolute frequency. …”

Enhancing early warning: A DNA biosensor with polyaniline/graphene nanocomposite for label-free voltammetric detection of saxitoxin-producing harmful algae by Chwan Chuong Chin, Jeremy Jason, Akbar, Muhamad Afiq, Mohd Yusof, Nurul Yuziana, Pike, Andrew, Goh, Choo Ta, Mustapha, Shuhadah, Tan, Ling Ling

“…Yearly reports of detrimental effects resulting from harmful algal blooms (HAB) are still received in Malaysia and other countries, particularly concerning fish mortality and seafood contamination, both of which bear consequences for the fisheries industry. The underlying reason is the absence of a dependable early warning system. …”

Comparison of Machine Learning-Based Methods for Narrowband Blind Adaptive Beamforming by Shonkwiler, Lara

“…Traditional blind source separation methods such as CMA, SOBI, JADE, and FastICA tend to be highly effective at beamforming datasets with moderate to large sample supports, but they do not perform well when they only have access to a limited number of data samples. They also bear the disadvantage that the appropriate algorithm must be selected based on the properties of the expected signal. …”

Local rainfall is more likely than distant thunderstorms to affect movement behaviour in Northern Kenyan elephants by Mulder, T, Mortimer, B, Ferwerda, J, Vollrath, F

“…Previous research indicates that African savanna elephants change their movements preceding or coincident with local rainfall and it has been suggested that they respond to thunder in remote storms–perhaps reading seismic cues. …”

Behave The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst / by Sapolsky, Robert M., author 656050, Penguin Random House (Online service) 655978

“…Sapolsky's storytelling concept is delightful but it also has a powerful intrinsic logic: he starts by looking at the factors that bear on a person's reaction in the precise moment a behavior occurs, and then hops back in time from there, in stages, ultimately ending up at the deep history of our species and its evolutionary legacy. …”
