Live Verification in an Interactive Proof Assistant by Gruetter, Samuel, Fukala, Viktor, Chlipala, Adam

“…Program verification requires loop invariants, which are hard to find and tedious to spell out. We explore a middle ground in the design space between the two extremes of requiring users to spell out loop invariants manually and attempting to infer loop invariants automatically: Based on the observation that a loop invariant often looks quite similar to the symbolic state right before the loop, our tool asks users to express the desired loop invariant as a diff from the symbolic state before the loop, which has the potential to lead to less verbose and more maintainable proofs. …”

Near-zero environmental impact aircraft by Prashanth, Prakash, Elmourad, Jad, Grobler, Carla, Isaacs, Stewart, Zahid, Syed Shayan, Abel, James, Falter, Christoph, Fritz, Thibaud, Allroggen, Florian, Sabnis, Jayant S., Eastham, Sebastian D., Speth, Raymond L., Barrett, Steven R. H.

“…We contrast the environmental impacts of today's aircraft-energy system against one built around either “drop-in” fuels or hydrogen. We find that a “zero-impact” aircraft is possible using either hydrogen or power-to-liquid “drop-in” fuels. …”

Computational Approaches for Understanding and Redesigning Enzyme Catalysis by Karvelis, Elijah

“…In the second study, we examine the effects of these same mutations on the isomerization of KARI's other native substrate: 2-aceto-2-hydroxybutyrate (AHB), and we find that the mutants selected for increased activity on ACL had varied levels of activity on AHB. …”

Terahertz conductivity of topological surface states in Bi1.5Sb0.5Te1.8Se1.2 by Tang, Chi Sin, Xia, Bin, Zou, Xingquan, Chen, Shi, Ou, Hong-Wei, Wang, Lan, Rusydi, A., Zhu, Jian-Xin, Chia, Elbert E. M.

“…Using Terahertz Time-Domain Spectroscopy (THz-TDS), we present complex conductivity of BSTS single crystals, disentangling the surface and bulk contributions. We find that the Drude spectral weight is 1–2 orders of magnitude smaller than in other Bi-based topological insulators, and similar to that of Bi2Se3 thin films, suggesting a significant contribution of the topological surface states to the conductivity of the BSTS sample. …”

Liquid state machine with dendritically enhanced readout for low-power, neuromorphic VLSI implementations by Roy, Subhrajit, Banerjee, Amitava, Basu, Arindam

“…The number of synaptic connections on each branch is significantly lower than the total number of connections from the liquid neurons and the learning algorithm tries to find the best `combination' of input connections on each branch to reduce the error. …”

Theoretical prediction of the linear isomers for rare gas-carbon disulfide complexes : He-CS2, Ne-CS2, and Ar-CS2 by Zang, Limin, Dai, Wei, Zheng, Limin, Duan, Chuanxi, Lu, Yunpeng, Yang, Minghui

“…Three two-dimensional intermolecular PESs are constructed from ab initio data points which are calculated at the CCSD(T) level with aug-cc-pVTZ basis set supplemented with bond functions. We find that the three PESs have very similar features and each PES can be characterized by a global T-shaped minimum, two equivalent local linear minima, and the saddle points between them. …”

Solution-processed highly bright and durable cesium lead halide perovskite light-emitting diodes by Wei, Zhanhua, Perumal, Ajay, Su, Rui, Sushant, Shendre, Xing, Jun, Zhang, Qing, Tan, Swee Tiam, Demir, Hilmi Volkan, Xiong, Qihua

“…The precursor solution is prepared by simply dissolving CsPbBr3 powder and a CsBr additive in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). We find that the CsBr additive not only significantly enhances the PLQY but also induces directional crystal growth into micro-plates, forming a smooth perovskite film for LEDs. …”

Minimalistic attacks : how little it takes to fool deep reinforcement learning policies by Qu, Xinghua, Sun, Zhu, Ong, Yew-Soon, Gupta, Abhishek, Wei, Pengfei

“…In Breakout, for example, we surprisingly find that: (i) all policies showcase significant performance degradation by merely modifying 0.01% of the input state, and (ii) the policy trained by DQN is totally deceived by perturbing only 1% frames.…”

Genotype-specific expression and NLR repertoire contribute to phenotypic resistance diversity in Plantago lanceolata by Safdari, Pezhman, Höckerstedt, Layla, Brosche, Mikael, Salojärvi, Jarkko, Laine, Anna-Liisa

“…Analysis on the conserved NB-ARC domain demonstrated a diverse NLR repertoire in P. lanceolata consistent with the high phenotypic resistance diversity in this species. We find evidence of selection generating diversity at some of the NLR loci. …”

Metacognitive bias resulting from trade-off between local and global motion signals by Lee, Alan L. F., Yabuki, Hana, Lee, Isaac C. L., Or, Charles C.-F.

“…Specifically, participants systematically gave higher confidence ratings to an incoherent pattern with clear elements (i.e., strong local but weak global signals) than a coherent pattern with noisy elements (i.e., weak local but strong global signals). We did not find any systematic effects of local/global stimulus features on metacognitive sensitivity. …”

Insights from coral microatolls into sea-level variability and subduction zone behavior by Sarkawi, Gina Muthia

“…Using a RSL record from 1906 – 2018 CE, we establish the relationship of living coral microatolls to low water levels, 27 ± 12 cm above extreme low water, and find that coral deaths are controlled by El Niño events during non-tectonic episodes. …”
