Ideas of intelligence across development : a look into children's implicit attitudes of the male = brilliant stereotype by Ng, Sara Hui Xin

“…As such, this study aims to explore the possible implicit attitudes of children towards gender and intelligence, with three main research questions, of first, wanting to investigate whether this stereotype is present for both boys and girls, secondly, whether children as young as 8 years old have this gender stereotype, and lastly, to investigate the possible factors of how parental influences (such as their socioeconomic status (SES) and beliefs) and also the exposure to media might contribute to the acquisition of this stereotype. …”

Improving the strength and microstructure of reactive magnesia based concrete blocks by Pu, Liyun

“…A very limited amount of work has been reported on the carbonation degree, performance and durability of MgO cement concrete under various conditions. The main goal of this research is to (i) enhance the carbonation, mechanical performance and microstructural development of MgO cement concrete containing different additives, (ii) evaluate the stability of the formed phases under various conditions involving high temperatures and aggressive environments, and (iii) provide a comparison between commercial and lab scale blocks in terms of performance and microstructure. …”

Correlation-based estimation of cutting force coefficients for ball-end milling by Dhupia, Jaspreet Singh, Girsang, Irving P.

“…This method can be applied on measured cutting force data over any small interval of time that need not contain information of the time instant when the cutting tool enters the workpiece, which has been the main requirement in the conventional method. This allows a quick estimation of the cutting force coefficients regardless of the chosen cutting conditions and tool-workpiece material, which is often the case in industrial machining processes. …”

Imagining post-fossil tourism mobilities with Norwegian tourists by Hopkins, D, Landa-Mata, I, Kr Steen Jacobsen, J, Farstad, E, Higham, J

“…Sustainable mobility has become a catch-all term to describe forms, modes, policies and practices of mobility that are thought to have a lower environmental footprint and/or fewer social exclusions than the contemporary mobility system which is reliant on fossil fuels and private ownership. As a result, its main application has been in urban mobility contexts, often focused on everyday commuting journeys. …”

Augmenting images of non-rigid scenes using point and curve correspondences by Bartoli, A, von Tunzelmann, E, Zisserman, A

“…We propose an integrated method for non-rigid factorization and thin-plate spline interpolant estimation using point and curve correspondences over multiple views. The main novelties lie in the introduction of curves into the non-rigid factorization framework and in a direct global solution for the registration map, obtained by minimizing the registration error over all points and curves while taking all the images into account. …”
