Leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) technology for enhanced border surveillance at the Malaysia-Thailand land border by Norilyani Md Nor, Marina Abdul Majid, Andika Ab. Wahab

“…Based on a series of interviews with relevant ministries, enforcement agencies, technology experts, academic experts and other stakeholders, as well as secondary sources, this study found that AI technology has the potential to overcome issues pertaining to weak border control management faced by the Royal Malaysian Police (RMP), the main enforcement agency that manages the Malaysia-Thailand land border along with other enforcement agencies. Among the issues are a lack of enforcement, integrity concerns and limited manpower to control Malaysia’s porous borders. …”

A Sufficient Condition for k-Contraction of the Series Connection of Two Systems by Ofir, Ron, Margaliot, Michael, Levron, Yoash, Slotine, Jean-Jacques

“…The flow of contracting systems contracts 1-dimensional parallelotopes, i.e., line segments, at an exponential rate. One reason for the usefulness of contracting systems is that many interconnections of contracting sub-systems yield an overall contracting system. …”

Microlensing Near Macro-Caustics by Weisenbach, Luke, Anguita, Timo, Miralda-Escudé, Jordi, Oguri, Masamune, Saha, Prasenjit, Schechter, Paul L.

“…Micro-caustics join into a connected network in a region around the macro-critical line of a width proportional to the surface density of microlenses; within this region, the increase of the mean magnification toward the macro-caustic is driven by the increase of the number of micro-images rather than individual magnifications of micro-images. …”

Chillbot: Content Moderation in the Backchannel by Seering, Joseph, Khadka, Manas, Haghighi, Nava, Yang, Tanya, Xi, Zachary, Bernstein, Michael

“…Moderating online spaces effectively is not a matter of simply taking down content: moderators also provide private feedback and defuse situations before they cross the line into harm. However, moderators have little tool support for these activities, which often occur in the backchannel rather than in front of the entire community. …”

Crack nucleation from a wedge disclination dipole with shift of rotation axes by Wu, Mao See

“…Biaxial dipoles are more stable when the rotation axis of each disclination approaches the defect line of the other disclination. If the negative disclinations of a uniaxial dipole and a biaxial dipole have the same axis shift, the critical nucleation stress of the biaxial dipole is larger if its positive disclination shift is more than that of the uniaxial dipole. …”
