Functional characterization of orexin system by Chua, Peiling

“…Orexin, which has been known to be involved in feeding and sleep-wake cycle, might have antidepressant-like effects. Researches indicate that depression might be associated with nucleus accumbens and its dopaminergic inputs from ventral tegmental area, which make up the mesolimbic dopamine system. …”

Sound and smoke propagation models for virtual crowd environments by Vaisagh Viswanathan Thattamparambil

“…Virtual crowd simulations are important for various applications like defense, social studies, etc. While literature exists on agent design and sensor modeling, there is still no generic model for sound and smoke propagation that can be integrated into existing virtual crowd simulation frameworks. …”

Behavioural and biochemical abnormalities in a mouse model for Parkinson's disease. by Ten, Rachel Rui Xian.

“…In addition to motor abilities, 2 and 4 months old LRRK2R1441G mice were tested in the elevated plus-maze for anxiety-like behaviour, and in the tail suspension test and forced swim test to assess depression-like behaviour. …”

Cooperative field localization and excitation eigenmodes in disordered metamaterials by Papasimakis, Nikitas, Jenkins, Stewart D., Savo, Salvatore, Zheludev, Nikolay I., Ruostekoski, Janne

“…The methods allow us to calculate local field and Purcell factor enhancement arising from the collective electric and magnetic excitations. We find substantially increased standard deviation of the Purcell enhancement with disorder, making it increasingly likely to find collective excitation eigenmodes with very high Purcell factors that are also stronger for magnetic than electric excitations. …”

Real-Time Event-Triggered Object Tracking in the Presence of Model Drift and Occlusion by Guan, Mingyang, Wen, Changyun, Shan, Mao, Ng, Cheng-Leong, Zou, Ying

“…The occlusion and drift identification module is intended to perform on-line evaluation of the short-term tracking. When a model drift event occurs, the target re-detection module is activated by the event-triggered decision model to relocate the target and reinitialize the short-term tracker. …”

Moments of the Riemannn zeta function and log-correlated random variables by Curran, MJ

“…We then move on to study the problem of moments of moments of zeta and the closely related problem of estimating shifted moments of zeta on the half line. Moments of moments of zeta were introduced by Fyodorov and Keating [42] in order to understand the value distribution of zeta in short intervals on the critical line. …”

Examining discrimination in home improvement financing (Home Mortgage Disclosure Act 2012–2016) and neighborhood health in the United States by Davis, Brigette A., Arcaya, Mariana C., Williams, David R., Metzger, Molly, Krieger, Nancy

“…Using US Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data between 2012 and 2016, we assess individual and census-tract level predictors of applying to, and being denied home improvement loans. We find non-Hispanic Black applicants are significantly more likely to be denied loans (OR: 2.28 p < 0.01), and that loans for areas with a high proportion of non-Hispanic Black residents (OR: 1.09, p < 0.01) are most likely to be denied, while applications in tracts with the highest proportion of non-Hispanic white residents (OR: 0.90, p < 0.01) are least likely to be denied. …”

Leveling the playing field: the selection and motivation effects of tournament prize spread information by Cardinaels, Eddy, Chen, Clara Xiaoling, Yin, Huaxiang

“…In this paper, we experimentally investigate whether the availability of tournament prize spread information enhances employee effort through both a selection effect and a motivation effect. We predict and find that when employees can select into tournaments of varying prize spreads (which proxies for an environment where prize spread information is available), high-ability employees are more likely than low-ability employees to select into the tournament with a larger prize spread. …”
