The function of pitching in Beetle's flight revealed by insect-wearable backpack by Fu, Fang, Li, Yao, Wang, Haitong, Li, Bing, Sato, Hirotaka

“…The study of insect flight orientation is important for investigating flapping-wing aerodynamics and designing bioinspired micro air vehicles (MAVs). Pitch orientation plays a vital role in flight control, which has been explored less than directional control. …”

Switched-capacitorized DC/DC converters by Lee, Yeow Boon.

“…The switched capacitors will be charged to the DC source voltage during the switch-off period, and during the switch-on period, the switched capacitors will join in the converter circuit together with the source voltage to produce a higher input voltage to the circuit. …”

High-performance thermomagnetic generator controlled by a magnetocaloric switch by Liu, Xianliang, Chen, Haodong, Huang, Jianyi, Qiao, Kaiming, Yu, Ziyuan, Xie, Longlong, Ramanujan, Raju V., Hu, Fengxia, Chu, Ke, Long, Yi, Zhang, Hu

“…Unlike its usual role as the coil core or big magnetic yoke in previous works, here the magnetocaloric material acts as a switch that controls the magnetic circuit. This makes it not only have the advantage of flux reversal of the pretzel-like topology, but also present a simpler design, lower magnetic stray field, and higher performance by using less magnetocaloric material than preceding devices. …”

Data-driven distributionally robust CVaR portfolio optimization under a regime-switching ambiguity set by Pun, Chi Seng, Wang, Tianyu, Yan, Zhenzhen

“…Problem definition: Nonstationarity of the random environment is a critical yet challenging concern in decision-making under uncertainty. We illustrate the challenge from the nonstationarity and the solution framework using the portfolio selection problem, a typical decision problem in a time-varying financial market. …”

A 0.4 V, 12.2 pW leakage, 36.5 fJ/step switching efficiency data retention flip-flop in 22 nm FDSOI by Ji, Yuxin, Zhang, Yuhang, Chen, Changyan, Zhao, Jian, Rokhani, Fakhrul Zaman, Ismail, Yehea, Li, Yongfu

“…This brief proposes an ultralow power DR-FF design with an improved autonomous data-retention (ADR) latch operating with a supply voltage range down to near/subthreshold, achieving a sleep mode leakage power of 12.2 pW, 1.4 × -3.8 × less than the prior CMOS DR-FFs. Our proposed DR-FFs consume the lowest active mode switching efficiency of 36.5 fJ/step, 1.2 × -4 × less than the prior works, and a comparable transition efficiency of 1.9 fJ/step. …”

Effects of music attrition on English-Mandarin Chinese bilinguals’ lexical tone perception and production in a foreign language by Toh, Xin Ru

“…To examine whether cognitive mechanisms for music and speech are domain-general or domain-specific, researchers have studied the effects of musical training on lexical tone pitch processing. However, few studies have studied the effects in the long-term and among tone language speakers. …”
