Nonlinear regression approach for GPS multipath mitigation : from code to carrier-phase measurements by Phan, Quoc Huy

“…Multipath, where GPS signals arrive by more than one path and thereby create a range error, has remained the long-lasting major error source in GPS solutions although having been a target of the GPS research community since the day the system started operating. …”

Micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) enabled digital pen by Tan, Joel Qi Zhi

“…A low pass filter was also applied after the EKF to eliminate any short-term fluctuations while keeping the long-term trend. The output of the filters was then used to plot out the letters in the digital world. …”

Electronic structures of twisted two-dimensional materials studied by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy by Pei, D

“…Besides, we observed iconic topological surface states with chiral edge modes around the Γ point, forming long Fermi-arc winding across the Brillouin zone. …”

Novel technologies for cell culture and tissue engineering by Ge, C

“…As a result, the ITO-film based heating system was evaluated and constructed successfully to serve as a heating element for long-term static cell culture with facilitated proliferation rate in gas-permeable PDMS microbioreactor outside of conventional incubation.…”

Heterogeneity within colorectal cancer cell lines and epigenetic regulation of CD24 by Ibn Ayub, M

“…Single cell sorting by FACS allowed to isolate and establish these clones which were stable in the culture for long enough (until passage ∼30) to allow their characterisations. …”

Elemental characteristics of particulate matter (Pm10 and Pm2.5) from peat swamp area in kuala pahang by Eng, Hwai Ern, Teoh, Chee Shan, Firdaus, Ismail, Abdul Syukor, Abd Razak, Suryati, Sulaiman

“…Particulate matter (PM) is normally being divided into two common groups known as: the coarse fraction particle with a range of sizing from 2.5 to 10 UM (PM10–PM2.5), and the fine fraction particles with a dimension smaller than 2.5 UM (PM2.5). …”

Tac2Pose: Tactile object pose estimation from the first touch by Bauza, Maria, Bronars, Antonia, Rodriguez, Alberto

“…We show that even in the presence of model uncertainty, Tac2Pose is able to achieve fine accuracy comparable to when the object model is the manufacturer’s CAD (computer-aided design) model. …”

Cell and tissue specific functional genomics of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis by Lledo Lara, A

“…Overall 1,227 genes (FDR<0.05) were differentially expressed between uninvolved and lesional psoriasis epidermis (n=3) with enrichment of metabolic and immune-related pathways. Integration of GWAS fine-mapping data with epigenetic and gene expression profiles implicated a potentially functional variant in the 2p15 GWAS locus modulating B3GNT2.…”

Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health: Undermining Public Health, Facilitating Reproductive Coercion by Ahmed, Aziza, Evans, Dabney P, Jackson, Jason, Meier, Benjamin Mason, Tomori, Cecília

Some Brief Thoughts on Housing Supply and Policy by Saiz, Albert

“…I elucidate the key interactions between supply and demand that generate macroeconomic problems and lack of affordability, and emphasize the distinction between short run and long run housing supply. My main conclusions are not new: policymakers should be aware of the Tinbergen rule. …”

Investigation on ImageNet Remaining Errors with TRAK by Ma, Lingyi

“…With such high accuracy, model predictions are usually of high precision and the causes of this long tail of error are unknown. Many studies have suggested that reassessing Imagenet, a nontrivial amount of label error and noise is found and effort had been made to fix this label noise in the test set, mainly through manual review. …”

Topological recursion for hyperbolic string field theory by Fırat, Atakan H., Valdes-Meller, Nico

“…These volumes can be shown to satisfy a recursion relation through a modification of Mirzakhani’s recursion as long as L ≤ 2 sinh−1 1. Applying the pants decomposition of Riemann surfaces to off-shell string amplitudes, we promote this recursion to hyperbolic string field theory and demonstrate the higher order vertices are determined by the cubic vertex iteratively for any background. …”
