Paternalism, petitions and the politics of church construction in Alsace, c. 1850–1885 by Clement, W

“…The article focuses on a case-study in the Alsatian city of Mulhouse during the nineteenth century. Over a period of 30 years, Catholic parishioners and clergy repeatedly petitioned the town’s Calvinist industrial and municipal elite for a church to be built in the paternalist cités ouvrières housing district, culminating in the eventual construction of the church of Saint-Joseph by 1883. …”

What does America's energy revolution mean for China? by Luft, G

“…Thanks to hydraulic fracturing or fracking, US oil production has grown from 5.1 million barrels a day in 2006 to 8 million in 2013 and US oil imports have dropped to their lowest level in 20 years. According to the International Energy Agency the USA will become the world’s number one oil producing country by 2015. …”

Exoplanet Albedo Spectra and Colors as a Function of Planet Phase, Separation, and Metallicity by Cahoy, Kerri, Marley, Mark, Fortney, Jonathan

“…In addition to alkalis and methane, our Jupiter models show H2O absorption features near 0.94 μm. While solar system giant planets are well separated by their broadband colors, we find that arbitrary giant exoplanets can have a large range of possible colors and that color alone cannot be relied upon to characterize planet types. …”

Revealing Structural and Spin-state Dependent Reactivity of Single Atom Catalysts (SACs) with Systematically Improvable Computational Tools by Jia, Haojun (贾皓钧)

“…Moreover, modulating the coordination environment near single metal sites by means of codopants, we carry out a large-scale virtual high-throughput screening (VHTS) of transition metal (i.e., Mn, Fe, Co, and Ru) SACs codoped with various elements (i.e., N, O, P, and S) in numerous spin and oxidation (i.e., M(II)/M(III)) states for the challenging conversion of methane to methanol. …”

Using Principles from Cognitive Science to Analyze and Guide Language-Related Neural Networks by Tucker, Mycal

“…First, human naming systems (e.g., a language’s words for colors such as “red” or “blue”) appear near-optimal in an informationtheoretic sense of compressing meaning into a small number of words; I ask how one might train AI systems that behave similarly. …”

Study of endothelial cell apoptosis using fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) biosensor cell line with hemodynamic microfluidic chip system by Yu, J. Q., Liu, X. F., Chin, Lip Ket, Liu, Ai Qun, Luo, Kathy Qian

“…A 12% apoptotic rate (nearly a 4-fold increase compared to the static condition) was observed when the endothelial cells were exposed to a high glucose concentration of 20 mM under 2 h exhaustive pulsatile shear stress of 30 dyne cm−2 and followed with another 10 h normal pulsatile shear stress of 15 dyne cm−2. …”

Principled asymmetric boosting approaches to rapid training and classification in face detection by Pham, Minh Tri

“…A means for determining the ideal asymmetric goal is provided, which is theoretically justified under a conservative bound on the operating point target in the receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) curve, and is empirically near-optimal under the exact bound. Moreover, the method automatically minimizes the number of weak classifiers, avoiding the need to retrain a boosted classifier multiple times as in conventional methods. …”

Development a novel paradigm for characterization of emerging contaminants in mixed-use anthropogenic impacted watersheds by Lee, Theodora Hui Yian

“…With more compounds synthesized overtime, it is nearly impossible to monitor all compounds. Thus, the understanding of spatial and temporal variations of contaminant source and sink becomes a priority in contaminant research to aid intervention. …”
