Towards Synergistic Understanding of Language Processing in Biological and Artificial Systems by Hosseini Asl, Eghbal

“…Over the past five years, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have achieved capabilities in the comprehension and production of language that are indistinguishable from those of humans, and their internal representations bear similarity to activity within the language network. …”

Unweighted layered graph traversal: passing a crown via entropy maximization by Bai, X, Coester, C, Cosson, R

“…In this paper, we demonstrate that what appears to be an innocuous modification of the problem actually leads to a drastic (exponential) reduction of the competitive ratio. …”

A new addition formula for elliptic curves over GF(2/sup n/) by Al-Daoud, E., Mahmod, R., Rushdan, M., Kilicman, A.

“…The complexity analysis shows that the new addition formula speeds up the addition in projective coordinates by about 10-2 percent, which leads to enhanced scalar multiplication methods for random and Koblitz curves.…”

Is patriotism a sufficient justification for liberal democracies to coerce conscription? by Tan, Jared Yue Rong

“…This paper argues that inspiration of patriotism through the coercive act of universal conscription cannot be justified legitimately by countries. This leads free and equal citizens at a fork with two unsavoury consequences, either accept an a stable but illegitimate political conception (which is no longer a liberal democracy) or demand for legitimacy, but end up without a unified scheme of cooperation. …”

Design and 3D printing of reconfigurable structures by Teo, Ee Hian

“…The structure is made up of single modular units being repeatedly fixed together, this leads to the structure to isolate single modular units that are damaged, allowing it to be easily pin-pointed and replaced by fabricating another similar single unit, this cut cost as the structure can be salvaged by replacing a single unit instead of the whole structure.…”

Experimental membrane fouling sensors by Tan, Yi Xin.

“…Experimental results suggest that application of higher flux and higher feed particle concentration both leads to higher transmembrane pressure. The results can be attributed to the formation of cake layer and the high fluid viscosity at high feed concentration.…”

Schottky barrier engineering on dopant-segregated schottky silicon nanowire MOSFETs by Chin, Yoke King

“…Nickel silicide (NiSi) Schottky S/D is introduced to address this issue. 2 potential challenges associated with NiSi Schottky S/D are: (1) rapid NiSi intrusion into the silicon nanowire channel during silicidation and (2) the existence of a Schottky barrier which leads to increased contact resistance.…”

Epistemic motives and cultural conformity : need for closure, culture, and context as determinants of conflict judgments. by Fu, Ho Ying., Lee, Sau-Lai., Morris, Micheal W., Chao, Melody., Chiu, Chi Yue., Hong, Ying Yi.

“…Three studies supported the proposal that Need for Closure (NFC) involves a wish for consensual validation that leads to cultural conformity. Individual differences in NFC interact with cultural group variables to determine East Asian versus Western differences in conflict style and procedural preferences (Study 1). information gathering in disputes (Study 2), and fairness judgment in reward allocation (Study 3). …”
