Mean-field approximation for networks with synchrony-driven adaptive coupling by Fennelly, N, Neff, A, Lambiotte, R, Keane, A, Byrne, A

“…In place of the less tractable spike-timing-dependent plasticity, we employ recently validated phase-difference-dependent plasticity rules, which adjust coupling strengths based on the relative phases of θ-neuron oscillators. …”

Implementation of Vision-Based Navigation for Pedestrian Environments by Anderson, Connor William

“…The tracking module of this pipeline is able to correctly localize pedestrians within 0.4 meters in simple scenarios and 0.6 meters in challenging multi-pedestrian stress testing cases inside of a 12 meter space in spite of limited field of view and relying on only inexpensive RGB camera images. …”

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.…”

Interpreting learned feedback patterns in large language models by Marks, L, Abdullah, A, Neo, C, Arike, R, Krueger, D, Torr, P, Barez, F

“…To test this, we train probes to estimate the feedback signal implicit in the activations of a fine-tuned LLM. We then compare these estimates to the true feedback, measuring how accurate the LFPs are to the fine-tuning feedback. …”

Mary Wollstonecraft : a feminist and/or misogynist of her time? by Ong, Charissa Xiu Ling.

“…For this reason, Wollstonecraft is commonly lauded as the mother of modern feminist thought. However, in spite of her vested interest in female rights, Wollstonecraft is nonetheless often accused of being a misogynist. …”

Computer vision and sensor fusion towards better facilities management system for smart buildings by Arumugam, M Logaraj

“…Facility management (FM) is a line of work which includes various controls to guarantee the usefulness, comfort, security, and productivity of the built sector by coordinating individuals, places, procedures, and innovation. In spite of the fact that Facilities Management (FM) is becoming undeniably important in the building environment although this industry is still in its earliest stages locally. …”

Changes in the phenomenon of icon-painting in Romania from the second half of the nineteenth century to the present day by Draghici-Vasilescu, N

“…<p>The thesis aims to prove, on the one hand that the second half of the nineteenth century was the period of maximum deviation from the traditional Romanian style of icon-painting and, on the other hand, that the process following the Romanian Orthodox Church's Synod of 1889, in spite of the proclaimed return to a pure Byzantine style, actually has involved the coexistence of at least two main styles of painting: Eastern Mannerist of Byzantine lineage and Western Mannerist of <em>Renaissance</em> persuasion. …”

Improving visual quality of synthetic terrains using weathering simulation on graphics processing unit by Nguyen, Hoang Anh

“…While many algorithms have been developed to improve terrain visual quality, physically-based hydraulic erosion algorithms have gained much attention in recent years for its ability to generate realistic natural-looking terrains. In spite of that, most of the algorithms proposed so far have only been tested with low resolution terrains. …”

SimSC: a simple framework for semantic correspondence with temperature learning by Li, X, Han, K, Wan, X, Prisacariu, VA

“…We discover that when fine-tuning ImageNet pre-trained backbone on the semantic matching task, L2 normalization of the feature map, a standard procedure in feature matching, produces an overly smooth matching distribution and significantly hinders the fine-tuning process. …”

Fatigue investigations on steel pipeline containing 3D coplanar and non-coplanar cracks by Xiao, Zhongmin, Zhang, Wengang, Zhang, Yanmei, Fan, Mu

“…Fluctuated loadings from currents, waves and sea ground motions are observed on offshore steel pipelines, and they will result in small cracks to propagate continuously and cause unexpected damage to offshore/geotechnical infrastructures. In spite of the availability of efficient techniques and high-power computers for solving crack problems, investigations on the fatigue life of offshore pipelines with 3D interacting cracks are still rarely found in open literature. …”

Egg development, hatching, and larval development of Marble Goby Oxyeleotris marmoratus under artificial rearing conditions by Senoo, Shigeharu, Kaneko, Masaharu, Cheah, Sin Hock, Ang, Kok Jee

“…All embryonic heads were located at the basal part of the egg and this was taken as normal egg development for O. marmoratus. In spite of their well-developed eyes and mouths, and the fact that they exhibited the active S-posture, the larvae did not feed on artificial powdered feed or Brachionus spp. for 4--6 days (d) AF, and the mortality before the feeding of Brachionus spp. was much higher than that of the later stages. …”
