Narrowing the gap between machine learning scoring functions and free energy perturbation using augmented data by Valsson, Í, Warren, MT, Deane, CM, Magarkar, A, Morris, GM, Biggin, PC

“…Machine learning offers great promise for fast and accurate binding affinity predictions. However, current models lack robust evaluation and fail on tasks encountered in (hit-to-) lead optimisation, such as ranking the binding affinity of a congeneric series of ligands, thereby limiting their application in drug discovery. …”

Measurement of the top quark mass using a profile likelihood approach with the lepton + jets final states in proton–proton collisions at √𝑠 = 13 TeV by Tumasyan, A., Adam, W., Andrejkovic, J. W., Bergauer, T., Chatterjee, S., Damanakis, K., Dragicevic, M., Del Valle, A. E., Hussain, P. S., Jeitler, M., Krammer, N., Lechner, L., Liko, D., Mikulec, I., Paulitsch, P., Pitters, F. M., Schieck, J., Schöfbeck, R., Schwarz, D., Sonawane, M.

“…The measurement uses a sample of top quark pair candidate events containing one isolated electron or muon and at least four jets in the final state. For each event, the mass is reconstructed from a kinematic fit of the decay products to a top quark pair hypothesis. …”

Urban Big Data: City Management and Real Estate Markets by Barkham, Richard, Bokhari, Sheharyar, Saiz, Albert

“…We forecast that smart city technologies will reinforce the primacy of the most successful global metropolises at least for a decade or more. A few select metropolises in emerging countries may also leverage these technologies to leapfrog on the provision of local public services. …”

Open volume defect accumulation with irradiation in GaN, GaP, InAs, InP, Si, ZnO, and MgO by Logan, JV, Woller, KB, Webster, PT, Morath, CP, Short, MP

“…As a function of dose, of the materials in which defect accumulation could be probed, it is observed that GaN is the most resistant to the accumulation of defects (attributed to the Ga vacancies) and Si is the least. GaP (attributed to the Ga vacancy) and InAs exhibit slightly higher rates of vacancy accumulation than GaN. …”

Tropical Pacific SST and ITCZ biases in climate models : double trouble for future rainfall projections? by Samanta, Dhrubajyoti, Karnauskas, Kristopher B., Goodkin, Nathalie F.

“…Using historical simulations of 24 coupled general circulation models and an atmospheric general circulation model, we show that cold equatorial SST biases at least exacerbate double Intertropical Convergence Zone biases in the Pacific. …”

Terahertz spectroscopy by Chen, Lili

“…Limitations associated with this experiment were also discussed, with the main component being the lack of cryogenic cooling to reduce the THz absorption and attenuation by the water vapor. Last but not the least, recommendations for the future research in order to improve the THz signal conversion efficiency were given. …”

Backbone boogie : dance the osteoporosis away! by Gey, Elainn Yee Rong, Lim, Cheryl Yi Xuan, Tan, Cammie Yi Jia

“…Based on the formative research gathered, reducing susceptibility to osteoporosis was found to be largely dependent on early prevention through a combination of calcium, vitamin D and regular weight-bearing exercise. Exercise was the least known aspect of osteoporosis prevention by the target audience and about 50% did not regularly exercise at all. …”

Frames over finite fields: equiangular lines in orthogonal geometry by Greaves, Gary Royden Watson, Iverson, Joseph W., Jasper, John, Mixon, Dustin G.

“…The constraints in our finite field setting are weaker, and all but 18 known SRG parameters on v≤1300 vertices satisfy at least one of them. Applying our results to triangular graphs, we deduce that Gerzon's bound is attained in finite orthogonal geometries of infinitely many dimensions. …”

Exciton lasing in carbon nanotubes below the population-inversion threshold via phonon-mediated stimulated emission by Dal Forno, Stefano, Battiato, Marco

“…Excitonic optical transitions in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been extensively studied for at least two decades. However, exploiting these transitions to produce a lasing effect has been proved unpractical due to the difficulties of achieving an excitonic population inversion in carbon nanotubes. …”

Development of a micro flow control system by Lee, Zi Qi.

“…A syringe pump was then used to precisely control the amount of pressure applied to push the column of ink in an upward direction. Last but not least, the plates will be lowered vertically using a slider mechanism controlled by a syringe when a drop of ink is expelled from the tip of the glass capillary tubes. …”
