Mimicking localized surface plasmons with structural dispersion by Li, Zhuo, Liu, Liangliang, Fernández-Domínguez, Antonio I., Shi, Jianfeng, Gu, Changqing, García-Vidal, Francisco J., Luo, Yu

“…The results reveal that structured-dispersion-induced localized surface plasmons are quite sensitive to the background refractive index but relatively robust to the size and shape of the resonator. These findings open up a new avenue for designer localized surface waves at low frequencies and may find applications in miniaturization of microwave resonators, filters, and terahertz biosensors.…”

RanDumb: random representations outperform online continually learned representations by Prabhu, A, Sinha, S, Kumaraguru, P, Torr, PHS, Sener, O, Dokania, PK

“…We then train a simple linear classifier on top without storing any exemplars, processing one sample at a time in an online continual learning setting. This method, called RanDumb, significantly outperforms state-of-the-art continually learned representations across all standard online continual learning benchmarks. …”

Elastic-plastic fracture mechanics investigation on two interacting cracks by Lee, Jonathon Zhao Feng

“…The second step is to find the relationship between crack, inclusion and dislocation whereby the CTOD of the crack will also be affected by an additional dislocation. …”

Governing in the face of a global crisis: when do voters punish and reward incumbent governments? by Duch, RM, Loewen, P, Robinson, TS, Zakharov, A

“…Using machine learning techniques, we find only muted heterogeneity in the magnitude and distribution of these treatment effects. …”

A mean field game between informed traders and a broker by Bergault, P, Sánchez-Betancourt, L

“…<p>We find the solution to the stochastic game between a broker and a mean-field of informed traders. …”

Involuntary transnationalism and regulated precarity: lived experiences of skilled Chinese and Indian migrants in Singapore by Zhan, Shaohua, Zhou, Min

“…Based on analysis of survey data and in-depth interviews of skilled Chinese and Indian migrants in Singapore, we find that skilled foreign migrants face employment insecurity and other vulnerabilities largely due to visa regulations and that they have to turn to transnationalism as a coping strategy to mitigate precarity and temporality.…”

Adverse events of common psychiatric medications: an umbrella review by Bartellas, K

“…A systematic and comprehensive search was conducted to retrieve all published and unpublished systematic reviews with meta-analyses to assess adverse events of individual psychiatric medications (this process of collecting secondary publications and not primary studies is called "umbrella review"). …”

Private, non-profit, and plantation: Oil palm smallholders in management-assistance programs vary in socio-demographics, attitudes, and management practices by Reiss-Woolever, VJ, Wakhid, W, Ikhsan, M, Caliman, J, Naim, M, Azmi, EN, Shufiyan, S, Howes, J, Azmi, R, Ying Lim, Y, Abdul Jan, SZ, Barrock, I, Azhar, B, Drewer, J, Ward, C, Jones, JA, Luke, SH, Turner, EC, Hidayat, P, Buchori, D

“…In Malaysia, farmers partnered with an NGO also had higher yield and fertilizer application than independent farmers, however they used significantly more herbicide and had lower total household income. Our findings demonstrate the wide variety of smallholder farmers in both regions, directly opposing a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to sustainability. …”

Orthogonal vs. uncorrelated least squares discriminant analysis for feature extraction by Nie, Feiping, Xiang, Shiming, Liu, Yun, Hou, Chenping, Zhang, Changshui

“…To obtain great discriminative power between classes, all the data points in each class are expected to be regressed to a single vector, and the basic task is to find a transformation matrix such that the squared regression error is minimized. …”

Evaluating the ecotoxicity of agropesticides and environmental water contaminants using cell-line and zebrafish embryonic assays by Tan, Roy Zi Hao

“…The results showed that the pesticides tested exhibited acute lethality and sublethal effects on the model organisms tested, albeit some to a lesser extent than previously reported findings on single active compounds. Our findings also revealed challenges in using a single broad-spectrum solid-phase extraction method to retain pesticide analytes due to their chemical complexity. …”

Autonomous quality monitoring for complex manufacturing process by Lee, Wen Siong

“…This research investigates the possibilities of using different types of incremental learning algorithms and deep neural networks to monitor the quality of products produced from the complex manufacturing process through binary and multi-class classification to identify defects quickly. To find out which algorithm or neural network has the best result, I compared the performance of 4 different algorithms and 3 different neural networks using a set of time-series data collected as a result of the production of a transparent mold from the Molding machine. …”
