Small-island interactions: pottery from Roman Malta by Anastasi, M

“…In the first instance, a detailed study of three complete and new ceramic assemblages, including amphorae, fine, cooking and coarse wares, was undertaken. The opportunity to quantify identifiable imports and compare them with local products—the first of its kind for fine, cooking and coarse wares—provided valuable proxy data for comparing Malta with neighbouring islands and centres, and demonstrated what proportion of ceramic vessels were locally supplied, and how these changed over time. …”

Possible mechanisms of control of Fusarium wilt of cut chrysanthemum by Phanerochaete chrysosporium in continuous cropping fields : a case study by Li, Ping, Chen, Jingchao, Li, Yi, Zhang, Kun, Wang, Hailei

“…In this study, Phanerochaete chrysosporium was inoculated into the field in which cut chrysanthemum had already been continuously cropped for five years to control wilt disease. After 120 days of cultivation, the addition of P. chrysosporium significantly improved the physiological status of plants and changed the bacterial and fungal community structure in the soil. …”

The political psychology of personality and attitudes towards immigrants by Buettner, N

“…Second, I build on Cybernetic Big Five Theory (CB5T), an influential causal, integrative theory which has recently been developed in the field of personality psychology, to derive and subsequently empirically test multiple hypotheses linking personality’s major dimensions of covariation on three levels of CB5T’s personality trait hierarchy to natives’ immigration attitudes based on survey data from the United Kingdom and the United States. …”

Using cluster analysis to reconstruct dengue exposure patterns from cross-sectional serological studies in Singapore by Sangkaew, Sorawat, Tan, Li Kiang, Ng, Lee Ching, Ferguson, Neil M., Dorigatti, Ilaria

“…Methods: We explored the use of five distinct clustering methods (i.e. agglomerative hierarchical, divisive hierarchi-cal, K-means, K-medoids and model-based clustering) with varying number (from 4 to 10) of clusters for each method. …”

Transfer-recursive-ensemble learning for multi-day COVID-19 prediction in India using recurrent neural networks by Chakraborty, Debasrita, Goswami, Debayan, Ghosh, Susmita, Ghosh, Ashish, Chan, Jonathan H., Wang, Lipo

“…A study is conducted by building four models pre-trained on COVID-19 data from four different countries (United States of America, Brazil, Spain, and Bangladesh) and fine-tuned on India's data. Since the four countries chosen have experienced different types of infection curves, the pre-training provides a transfer learning to the models incorporating diverse situations into account. …”

Tribological properties of wax microcapsule modified polymers by Ang, Ping Lon

“…A total of 6 epoxy composites with different wax microcapsules concentration were tested- 0, 0.5, 1.5, 3.5 and 7%wt. Surface roughness and micro indentations were first done to determine the initial surface conditions, before putting the epoxy samples through tribological test to determine friction coefficient and wear. …”
