The Efficacy of Different Analysis Algorithms for Summarizing Online Deliberations by Venkat, Naveen

“…Through a randomized controlled trial of all three approaches using a nationally representative sample, we compare their practical effectiveness, as measured by participants’ subjective experiences regarding how well these summaries represent their concerns. We find that the computational social choice-inspired algorithm consistently outperforms Polis’s current methods in this regard, though future theoretical work is still needed to fully adapt this approach to a real-world setting.…”

Event detection in spatiotemporal soccer data using neural networks by Wilbert

“…However, all neural networks were unable to detect ‘Tackle’ event successfully. Nonetheless, the findings from this project still further verify that using neural networks is a highly suitable approach to perform automatic event detection in spatiotemporal soccer data. …”

Translational GTPase BipA is involved in the maturation of a large subunit of bacterial ribosome at suboptimal temperature by Goh, Kwok Jian, Ero, Rya, Yan, Xin-Fu, Park, Jung Eun, Kundukad, Binu, Zheng, Jun, Sze, Siu Kwan, Gao, Yong-Gui

“…Furthermore, tandem mass tag-mass spectrometry analysis of the ΔbipA strain proteome revealed upregulations of a number of proteins (e.g., DeaD, RNase R, CspA, RpoS, and ObgE) implicated in ribosome biogenesis and RNA metabolism, and these proteins were restored to wild-type levels by plasmid-borne bipA supplementation or the genomic rluC deletion, implying BipA involvement in RNA metabolism and ribosome biogenesis. …”

Global response of Vibrio cholerae to predation by heterotrophic protists by Hu, Jie

“…Indeed, a pigmented mutant, disrupted in VC1345 (hmgA), survived 100-fold better intracellularly in amoebae than did the wild type. The biomass of V. cholerae biofilms increased when the cell-free supernatant from a T. pyriformis culture was added, indicating that there may be chemical cues involved. …”

Integration of an Aptamer-Based Signal-On Probe and a Paper-Based Origami Preconcentrator for Small Molecule Biomarkers Detection by Lee, Na E., Hong, Ji H., Lee, Seungmin, Yoo, Yong K., Kim, Kang H., Park, Jeong S., Kim, Cheonjung, Yoon, Junghyo, Yoon, Dae S., Lee, Jeong H.

“…However, detecting small molecules such as cortisol using LFAs is challenging due to limited binding sites and weak signal generation. Here, we report the development of cortisol-specific aptamer-based probes and a paper-based origami preconcentrator (POP) to amplify the probe signal. …”

Enhancing downstream ML performance with unconditional diffusion models for return predictions by Agarwala, Pratham

“…Previous methods, reliant on simple transformations or generative adversarial networks (GANs) with inherent training instability, fall short in addressing these challenges. To bridge this gap, our research introduces an innovative approach that leverages Unconditional Diffusion Models with self-guidance mechanism for conditioning during inference to perform financial data augmentation. …”

The contribution of traumatic brain injury to Alzheimer’s disease progression by Zainal Azman, JAB

“…The J20-TBI model, compared to a wild-type TBI (WT-TBI) group, confirmed the two-hit hypothesis after acute contusion. 6-month-old (prodromal stage) and 12-month-old (AD dementia stage) J20 mice were used to study the impact of varying plaque burdens on APR. …”

Making public transport the choice mode by Tan, Siew Fong
