Better late than never: sleep still supports memory consolidation after prolonged periods of wakefulness by Petzka, M, Zika, O, Staresina, BP, Cairney, SA

“…Sleep relative to wakefulness improved retention of item and associative memories to similar extents irrespective of whether sleep occurred soon after learning or following a prolonged waking interval. Our findings highlight the far-reaching influences of sleep on memory that can arise even after substantial periods of wakefulness.…”

Can AI create better lesson plans than humans? This is what Malaysian english instructors think by Wan Noor Farah, Wan Shamsuddin, Nur Amalina, Mohd Shariff

“…This is then followed by a semistructured interview with several instructors for more qualitative findings. The results indicated that Malaysian English teachers have a positive outlook towards using the technology especially when designing lesson plans. …”

Young children retain fast mapped object labels better than shape, color, and texture words by Holland, Amanda, Simpson, Andrew, Riggs, Kevin J.

“…However, after one week only the mappings for object labels were retained above chance levels. Our findings suggest that fast mapped object labels are retained long-term better than color, shape and texture words. …”

Local rainfall is more likely than distant thunderstorms to affect movement behaviour in Northern Kenyan elephants by Mulder, T, Mortimer, B, Ferwerda, J, Vollrath, F

“…While some abrupt movement changes occurred ahead of local wet periods, they were only particularly frequent shortly following the onset of wet periods. These findings do not concur with reports of Namibian elephants that generally changed their movement behaviour preceding local rainfall, and the additional exploration of individual behaviours in the present study likewise did not provide compelling evidence of a generic reliance on remote thunder cues by Northern-Kenyan elephants. …”

Grass fields play a greater role in maintaining avian biodiversity in urban landscapes than roadsides by Bichi, H. M., Azhar, Badrul, Yahya, Muhammad Syafiq, Hadi, Muhamad Amir, Ogunjinmi, A. A., Kamarudin, Norizah, Norhisham, Ahmad R.

“…Omnivores were the most abundant guild, while carnivores were the least abundant. These findings contribute to our understanding of avian biodiversity dynamics in urban landscapes and emphasize the importance of managing habitats such as roadsides and grass fields to support thriving bird populations in urban environments.…”

Is self-explanation better than explaining to a fictitious student when learning from video lectures? by Pi, Zhongling, Zhang, Yi, Shi, Dongyuan, Guo, Xin, Yang, Jiumin

“…However, for improving learning from video lectures, it is unclear whether writing self-explanations is more beneficial than writing instructional explanations, and whether writing both types of explanation is more beneficial than writing only one type. …”

The space-times of post-capitalist transformation: More-than-human affects in French and Catalan eco-communities by Schramm, E

“…I have worked to address five gaps in the literature on eco-communities, namely, a lack of attention to embodiment and affect and to everyday material practices, their more-than-human constitution, their contribution to economic transformations, and finally, their endurance over time. …”

Dynamics of the sub-Ohmic spin-boson model : a comparison of three numerical approaches by Yao, Yao, Duan, Liwei, Lü, Zhiguo, Wu, Chang-Qin, Zhao, Yang

“…Dynamics of the sub-Ohmic spin-boson model is examined using three numerical approaches, namely the Dirac-Frenkel time-dependent variation with the Davydov D1 ansatz, the adaptive time-dependent density matrix renormalization group method within the representation of orthogonal polynomials, and a perturbative approach based on a unitary transformation. …”

Spin-orbit torque magnetization switching in Co/Pt multilayers for multistate memory and logic devices by Lim, Gerard Joseph

“…It has proven to be a serious contender in emerging memory technology due to its intrinsic non-volatility, low power dissipation, and high speed. The spin degree of freedom further opens opportunities that exploit its ultrafast dynamics and spin transport. …”

Programmable spin–orbit-torque logic device with integrated bipolar bias field for chirality control by Lim, Gerard Joseph, Chua Daniel, Gan Weiliang, Murapaka Chandrasekhar, Lew Wen Siang

“…While several field-free spin–orbit torque (SOT)-driven logic devices have been proposed, their operation typically requires additional initialization or reset pulses, the exchange-coupled canted spins reduce both anomalous Hall sign-to-noise ratio as well as thermal stability of the ferromagnetic layer, and device-to-device variation in exchange coupling strength is expected. …”
