4D printing of heat-driven self-assembly structures (Part II) by Teo, Jin Howe

“…First, the fabrication conditions of heat-driven self-assembly structures are examined. Hinges are printed with varying materials and dimensional parameters, and the resulting recovery time and the angle integrity are analysed. …”

On fundamental aspects of quantum extreme learning machines by Xiong, W, Facelli, G, Sahebi, M, Agnel, O, Chotibut, T, Thanasilp, S, Holmes, Z

“…Notably, the expressivity of QELMs is fundamentally limited by the number of Fourier frequencies and the number of observables, while the complexity of the prediction hinges on the reservoir. As a cautionary note on scalability, we identify four sources that can lead to the exponential concentration of the observables as the system size grows (randomness, hardware noise, entanglement, and global measurements) and show how this can turn QELMs into useless input-agnostic oracles. …”

The ideational approach by Busby, Ethan, Chryssogelos, Angelos, Hawkins, Eliza Tanner, Hawkins, Kirk, Littvay, Levente, Wiesehomeier, Nina

“…At all three levels, we argue that populism has a distinct impact that hinges on the intensity of populist beliefs of actors, particularly when these are in power. …”

Cross-Modal Deep Variational Hashing by Liong, Venice Erin, Lu, Jiwen, Zhou, Jie, Tan, Yap Peng

“…Unlike most existing cross-modal hashing methods which learn a single pair of projections to map each example into a binary vector, we design a deep fusion neural network to learn non-linear transformations from image-text input pairs, such that a unified binary code is achieved in a discrete and discriminative manner using a classification-based hinge-loss criterion. We then design modality-specific neural networks in a probabilistic manner such that we model a latent variable to be close as possible from the inferred binary codes, at the same time approximated by a posterior distribution regularized by a known prior, which is suitable for out-of-sample extension. …”

Structural behaviour of 2D post-tensioned precast beam-column sub-assemblages subjected to column loss scenario by Tran, Manh Ha, Tan, Kang Hai

“…The test results indicated that both unbonded and bonded parabolic-shaped PT significantly enhanced compressive arch action (CAA) and catenary action (CA) beyond basic flexural capacity, and also changed the plastic hinge mechanism in the precast beams. The specimen with unbonded PT could provide greater residual capacity than bonded PT, but the former was severely damaged by fracture of normal reinforcement and crushing of concrete rather than fracture of the tendon. …”

Range expansion of a declining forest species, the Western Gray Squirrel (Sciurus griseus), into semi-arid woodland by Sultaire, SM, Montgomery, RA, Jackson, PJ, Millspaugh, JJ

“…Occupancy modeling revealed that western gray squirrels were equally likely to occur in piñon–juniper woodland compared to mature pine forest that they occupy elsewhere in their range. …”

Translations: Designing Restorative Listening Experiences in the Age of Social Fragmentation by Obeng-Marnu, Naana

“…This thesis builds on a body of sociotechnical research at the MIT Center for Constructive Communication that draws upon "ancient wisdoms" of dialogue and listening and harnesses the power of technology to inform the design of dialogue spaces that promote deep, meaningful, and authentic conversations. Our approach hinges on the belief that society functions best when we hear and understand each other, an outcome that our work strives to advance by exposing people to the personal stories of others in ways that connect rather than divide. …”
