Controversies in neurology: asymptomatic carotid stenosis—intervention or just stick to medical therapy. The argument for carotid endarterectomy by Hirt, L, Halliday, A

“…Carotid endarterectomy, on the other hand, has been shown to reduce the incidence of ipsilateral ischaemic stroke in both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients, with the benefits extending into the long-term. Carotid angioplasty and stenting is a newer technique with the benefit of being minimally invasive. …”

Dynamic linkages of Asian stock markets by Baharumshah, Ahmad Zubaidi, Sarmidi, Tamat, Tan, Hui Boon

“…This study examines the dynamic interrelationship among the major stock markets and in the four Asian markets (Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan and South Korea), both in the short run and in the long run. To investigate the impact of financial reforms and the Asian financial crisis on these markets, we split the sample into three sub-periods: pre-liberalization (1988-91), post-liberalization (1992-96) and post-crisis (1997-99) periods. …”

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.…”

Impact of BREXIT on key stakeholders of the maritime industry in UK by Ching, Claudia Loke Wei

“…By and large, UK will generally experience detrimental effects in the near future, but the long term effects of BREXIT still awaits to be seen as UK seeks to establish new trade relations and construct necessary infrastructure in supporting the UK economy post-BREXIT. …”

Dynamics and stability of evaporating and condensing liquid layers by Wei, Tao

“…Finally, conclusions are drawn, and perspectives of future study based on these works have been proposed, including to model the dynamics of thin evaporating droplets with moving contact lines resulting from the successive touchdown of an evaporating layer and to investigate the relation between short-wave convection and long-wave deformation instabilities in the presence of phase change.…”

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. …”

Capital accumulation, capital-output ratios and total factor productivity in Singapore by Sng, Hui Ying

“…In Lim’s S-Curve hypothesis (1996, 2004), the rapid accumulation of physical capital is an important driver behind the superlative growth of the Newly Industrializing Economies (NIEs). De Long and Summers (1991, 1993) have also shown that investment in machinery and equipment has a strong association with growth.…”
