Learning from nature : experimental observation of mimosa pudica by Zhang, Yi

“…Remarkably, the partial pinna stimulation demonstrated a twofold increase in closing time in comparison to entire pinna stimulation, which implied the stimulation contact area did play a significant part in pinna closing time but had no effect on pinna reopening time. …”

从民谣到国族歌曲 ： 新加坡想象共同体的打造 = From folks songs to nationalistic songs : imagining Singapore by 潘靖颖 Phoon, Jing Ying

“…In the early 80s, as the fragility of national identity surfaced, music was employed by the government to foster national identity following the success of community singing back in the 60s. The narratives within songs and the act of community singing served as a platform to build common understanding and collective conscious among people, allowing the imagination of Singapore to be realized through songs. …”

Oxford-IIIT TRECVID 2010 – notebook paper by Juneja, M, Chandra, S, Parkhi, OM, Jawahar, CV, Vedaldi, A, Marszalek, M, Zisserman, A

“…The two methods yielded a significantly different performance depending on the feature, as expected by their design: The χ²-SVM can be used for all feature types, including scene-like features such as Cityscape, Nighttime, Singing, but is outperformed by the object detector for object-like features, such as Boat or ship, Bus, and Person riding a bicycle. …”

‘I don’t care who joins my choir’: investigating attitudes to diversity and inclusivity in lower- and upper-voice choirs in the United Kingdom by MacGregor, E

“…Recreational choral singing has long been a mainstay of amateur and community musicmaking in the United Kingdom, and there is much existing evidence for the potential social, physical, and psychological benefits of participation. …”

A comparison of preterm and full-term infant emotional regulation development through infant-mother affect synchrony by Low, Heather Yee Theng

“…Several findings were revealed: (1) preterm infants experienced highest positive affect in singing/dancing, but overall exhibited significantly lower positive affect than full-term infants, (2) compared to the full-term group, mothers of preterm infants made behavioural adjustments (i.e. reduced positive and negative affect), especially during tickling, and took on more responsive roles in dyadic interactions, (3) preterm infants whose mothers responded to their emotions during dyadic interactions had better emotional self-regulation. …”
