Development of fiber optic strain sensor system for smart structure applications by Ong, Lin Seng, Seah, Leong Keey, Chai, Gin Boay

“…However, as a result of external perturbation or disturbances, the light that passes through the optical fiber changes one or more of its characteristics or properties such as intensity, phase, state of polarization, wavelength or reflective index. As long as we are able to detect these changes and relate them to the changes of external perturbations we can transform the optical fiber into a sensor to detect those perturbations. …”

The "Paulson Plan" and its implications by Woo, Raymond Weng Pong

“…However, the "Paulson Plan" will likely provide only short-term benefits without solving the crisis' root causes. It might even create long-term damage to the US' economic and strategic position.…”

Historicising Keats’ opium imagery through Neoclassical medical and literary discourses by Cox, O

“…This chapter argues that conceptions of opium in long-eighteenth-century culture, in medical and literary genres of writing alike, predominantly harked back to classical precedent, which had dominated for centuries, there being then scant scientific understanding of opium’s chemical physiological mechanisms. …”

Robust and efficient deep learning methods for vision-based action recognition by Xu, Yuecong

“…To extract robust long-range dependencies more efficiently, we explore on further improving the non-local neural network by proposing a novel long-range spatiotemporal dependencies extraction module, the Pyramid Non-Local (PNL) module. …”

Partnership Ties Shape Friendship Networks: A Dynamic Social Network Study by Stadtfeld, Christoph, Pentland, Alex

“…In our study, we follow dynamic friendship formation among 126 individuals and their cohabiting partners in a university-related graduate housing community over a period of nine months (N = 2,250 self-reported friendship relations). We find that partnership ties strongly shape the dynamic process of friendship formation. …”

Two Paths: Why States Join or Avoid China’s Belt and Road Initiative by Atkins, Eleanor, Fravel, M Taylor, Wang, Raymond, Ackert, Nick, Huang, Sihao

“…Thus, we argue that most states should join the BRI unless they view the costs of participation as higher. We hypothesize, and find support for, the argument that democracies are less likely to join because they view participating in a Chinese-led initiative as more costly than non-democracies. …”

Can Plants Perceive Human Gestures? Using AI to Track Eurythmic Human–Plant Interaction by Gil, Alvaro Francisco, Weinbeer, Moritz, Gloor, Peter A.

“…Using machine learning, we found that the voltage differentials over time of the plant predict if (a) eurythmy has been performed, and (b) which kind of eurythmy gestures has been performed. We also find that the signals are different based on the species of the plant. …”

Machine learning-guided discovery of gas evolving electrode bubble inactivation by Lake, Jack R, Rufer, Simon, James, Jim, Pruyne, Nathan, Scourtas, Aristana, Schwarting, Marcus, Ambadkar, Aadit, Foster, Ian, Blaiszik, Ben, Varanasi, Kripa K

“…We study electrode inactivation caused by oxygen evolution while using surface engineering to control bubble formation. We find that the inactivation of the entire projected area, as is currently believed, is a poor approximation which leads to non-physical results. …”

Signatures of wave erosion in Titan’s coasts by Palermo, Rose V, Ashton, Andrew D, Soderblom, Jason M, Birch, Samuel PD, Hayes, Alexander G, Perron, J Taylor

“…Applying this framework to Titan, we find that the shorelines of Titan’s seas are most consistent with flooded landscapes that subsequently have been eroded by waves, rather than a uniform erosional process or no coastal erosion, particularly if wave growth saturates at fetch lengths of tens of kilometers.…”
