Mill before Liberalism (parts I and II) by Ghosh, P

A well-conditioned collocation method using a pseudospectral integration matrix by Wang, Li-Lian, Samson, Michael Daniel, Zhao, Xiaodan

“…Moreover, the new basis leads to an exact inverse of the pseudospectral differentiation matrix of the highest derivative (at interior collocation points), which is therefore called the pseudospectral integration matrix (PSIM). …”

Phonon transport in nanowire with contacts : size and doping by Li, Jing, Au Yeung, Tin Cheung, Kam, Chan Hin

“…With the size decreasing, the significant reduction in the number of phonon modes leads to a smaller thermal conductance density. The dopant (Ge) atoms are used to substitute the atom in the wire to study the doping effect. …”

Thickness-dependent evolutions of domain configuration and size in ferroelectric and ferroelectric-ferroelastic films by Huang, C. W., Chen, Z. H., Chen, Lang

“…As the film thickness decreases, the stable domain pattern also changes from a ferroelectric-ferroelastic domain to a ferroelectric one, which leads to the divergence of domain size scaling.…”

Negative density dependence promotes persistence of a globally rare yet locally abundant plant species Oenothera coloradensis by Stears, AE, Heidel, B, Paniw, M, Salguero-Gómez, R, Laughlin, DC

“…Persistence of seeds in a seed bank, which is often ignored in models of population dynamics, can also buffer small populations against collapse. …”

Improvement of soil quality and optimisation of plant growth with biochar by Loh, Katriel Wenshu

“…Harmful human behaviour has increased both on the individual and corporate scales, and the resulting negative implications have been ever-growing. These include greater water, land and air pollution, due to the production of hazardous contaminants such as lead. …”

Use of bamboo in construction by Quek, Ming Hui.

“…Over 50% of the world’s population is contributed by developing countries. This leads to a lack of proper housing. In addition, the unexpected occurrences of natural disaster have lead to a demand in rapid deployed low cost housing. …”

Biomechanics of slips after fatigue: Effect of muscular and mental fatigue by Lew, Fui Ling

“…Among these risk factors, fatigue (muscular or mental) has been identified as a major task-related risk factor that can lead to falls (Hsiao and Simeonov 2001). …”

A variational master equation approach to quantum dynamics with off-diagonal coupling in a sub-Ohmic environment by Sun, Ke-Wei, Fujihashi, Yuta, Ishizaki, Akihito, Zhao, Yang

“…The off-diagonal coupling leads asymptotically to a thermal equilibrium with a nonzero population difference Pz(t → ∞) ≠ 0, which implies localization of the system, and it also plays a role in restraining coherent dynamics for the sub-Ohmic case. …”

Spin injection properties in trilayer graphene lateral spin valves by Liu, Y. P., Idzuchi, H., Fukuma, Y., Rousseau, O., Otani, Y., Lew, Wen Siang

“…Non-local spin valve signal is clearly observed in the LSV, indicating that spin coherence extends underneath all ferromagnetic contacts.We also show that low-resistivity graphene/MgO/Py junctions enable efficient spin injection and detection in LSV with high applied current density, which leads to large spin accumulation of 120 μV at room temperature. …”

Skeleton body pose tracking from efficient three-dimensional motion estimation and volumetric reconstruction by Zheng, Zhang, Seah, Hock Soon

“…Our method utilizes a voxel subject-specific body model, exploits multiple 3D image cues, and incorporates physical constraints into a stochastic particle-based search initialized from the deterministic prediction and stochastic sampling. It leads to a robust 3D pose tracker. Experiments on publicly available sequences show the robustness and accuracy of our approach.…”
