Multiple testing for signal-agnostic searches for new physics with machine learning by Grosso, Gaia, Letizia, Marco

“…Focusing on the New Physics Learning Machine, a methodology to perform a signal-agnostic likelihood-ratio test, we explore a number of approaches to multiple testing, such as combining p-values and aggregating test statistics. Our findings show that it is beneficial to combine different tests, characterised by distinct choices of hyperparameters, and that performances comparable to the best available test are generally achieved, while also providing a more uniform response to various types of anomalies. …”

COSE : a query-centric framework of collaborative heterogeneous sensor networks by He, Yuan., Li, Zhen Jiang.

“…In this paper, we propose COSE, a query-centric framework of collaborative heterogeneous sensor networks, where sensor networks collaborate with each other for effective and efficient processing of queries. Finding an optimal strategy of query processing with respect to energy efficiency is a crucial issue in COSE, which we formulate into an optimization problem, called EE-QPS. …”

Personal relative deprivation increases self-selected portion sizes and food intake by Cheon, Bobby Kyungbeom, Sim, A. Y., Lim, E. X., Forde, C. G.

“…Consequently, these findings demonstrate that chronic and acute subjective deprivation of non-food resources may contribute to socioeconomic gradients in obesity, and that perceived social inequality may have inherently obesogenic properties that promote excess calorie intake.…”

The role of perceived stress and gender on portion selection patterns by Cheon, Bobby Kyungbeom, Lim, E. X., Sim, A. Y., Forde, C. G.

“…Additionally, for females, increased perceived stress was associated with lowered expectations of the satiety of foods presented, suggesting a potential mechanism by which stress may influence decisions about portion size. These findings reveal that the potentially obesogenic effects of stress on food judgments and behaviours (particularly among females) are not only expressed within meals, but also during more deliberate stages of planning that precedes meals.…”

Asymmetric pathways in the electrochemical conversion reaction of NiO as battery electrode with high storage capacity by McDermott, Eamon, Shukla, Alpesh K., Yi, Tanghong, Boesenberg, Ulrike, Marcus, Matthew A., Teh, Pei Fen, Srinivasan, Madhavi, Moewes, Alexander, Cabana, Jordi

“…NiO was chosen as a simple model system. The most important finding is that the voltage hysteresis has its origin in the differing chemical pathways during reduction and oxidation. …”

Enhancing interlaminar fracture characteristics of woven CFRP prepreg composites through CNT dispersion by Joshi, Sunil Chandrakant, Dikshit, Vishwesh

“…The presence of nanotubes increased fiber bridging within the ply interfaces, which in turn controlled the inter-ply crack propagation. The findings and the mechanisms are discussed using the test data, SEM pictures, schematics, and scans of the fractured surfaces.…”

Foreign direct investment inflows and economic growth in Singapore : an empirical approach by Le, Ha-Chi, Le, Thai-Ha

“…The results show that, while there are multiple drivers of the country’s economic growth in the short run, only FDI and exports are long-term determinants of Singapore’s economic growth. The findings suggest that FDI plays a crucial role in assisting the country’s economic development and the results are relatively robust to different measures of trade and finance. …”

Enhancing the learning effectiveness of ill-structured problem solving with online co-creation by Pee, Loo Geok

“…Results indicate that solution co-creation and solution sharing enhance cognitive learning (e.g. perceived knowledge about a subject topic), while decision co-creation enhances epistemic learning (e.g. perceived understanding of criteria of knowing). The findings demonstrate the value of online co-creation and they pave the way for more research on online co-creation in other collaborative pedagogical practices such as co-skilling.…”

Advertising primed: how professional identity affects moral reasoning by Schauster, Erin, Ferrucci, Patrick, Tandoc, Edson C., Walker, Tara

“…While professional identity was not a significant predictor of moral reasoning, an interaction effect between gender and identity priming occurred. This finding suggests that we reconsider moral psychology theory’s explanatory power for media practitioners and consider how the complexity of professional identities in concert with gender and professional training, among other variables, interact to affect moral reasoning. …”

The curse of class imbalance and conflicting metrics with machine learning for side-channel evaluations by Picek, Stjepan, Heuser, Annelie, Jovic, Alan, Bhasin, Shivam, Regazzoni, Francesco

“…Next, we provide extensive results on comparison of machine learning and side-channel metrics, where we show that machine learning metrics (and especially accuracy as the most often used one) can be extremely deceptive. This finding opens a need to revisit the previous works and their results in order to properly assess the performance of machine learning in side-channel analysis.…”

From ideological to political sectarianism: Nahdlatul Ulama, Muhammadiyah, and the state in Indonesia by Arifianto, Alexander R.

“…This contribution applies the sectarianisation thesis of Hashemi and Postel to analyse renewed political sectarianism between Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Muhammadiyah, the two largest Indonesian Islamic organisations. It finds that while distinct ideologies and rituals do distinguish these organisations one from another, recent conflicts between the two organisations can be attributed to political-based sectarianism rather than an ideological-based one. …”

Ecosystem productivity has a stronger influence than soil age on surface soil carbon storage across global biomes by Plaza, César, García-Palacios, Pablo, Berhe, Asmeret Asefaw, Barquero, Jesús, Bastida, Felipe, Png, Kenny Guochen, Rey, Ana, Bardgett, Richard D., Delgado-Baquerizo, Manuel

“…Conversely, soil carbon in low productivity, drier and colder ecosystems was dominated by mineral-protected carbon, and was less responsive to warming. Our findings emphasize the importance of conserving ecosystem productivity to protect carbon stored in surface soils.…”
