360 Immersive VR website for experiencing Singapore by Tan, Don Charlton Keat Peng

“…Building such a platform is akin to having a first glimpse of how websites of today would look like in VR. The platform would also challenge the definition of VR, as with WebVR, high powered head mounted displays (HMDs) becomes an optional accessory to enhance the experience; it is not compulsory. …”

Small-signal neural models and their applications by Basu, Arindam

“…Second, we use small-signal models for deriving parameters for a simple neural model (such as resonate and fire) from a more complicated but biophysically relevant one like Morris-Lecar. We show similarity in the subthreshold behavior of the simple and complicated model when they are close to a Hopf bifurcation and a saddle-node bifurcation. …”

Minimal type inference for Linked Data consumers by Ciobanu, Gabriel, Horne, Ross, Sassone, Vladimiro

“…We provide an introduction to the Web of Linked Data from the perspective of a Web developer who would like to build an application using Linked Data. We identify a weakness in the development stack, namely a lack of domain specific scripting languages for designing background processes that consume Linked Data. …”

Dengue Virus Non-Structural Protein 5 by El Sahili, Abbas, Lescar, Julien

“…Dengue virus also serves as a prototype for the study of other pathogenic flaviviruses that are emerging, like West Nile virus and Zika virus. Upon viral entry into the host cell and fusion of the viral lipid membrane with the endosomal membrane, the viral RNA is released and expressed as a polyprotein, that is then matured into three structural and seven non-structural (NS) proteins. …”
