Stability improvement and control optimization of isolated two-stage AC-DC-DC converter systems by Feng, Fan

“…The analysis results offer instructive implications to fine-tune the design rules of the DAB converters. Bearing the mind that the impedance model of the DAB converter is closely related to the modulation schemes, the impacts of three typical modulation methods on the DAB impedances are analyzed and compared. …”

Striatal and Behavioral Responses to Reward Vary by Socioeconomic Status in Adolescents by Decker, Alexandra L, Meisler, Steven L., Hubbard, Nicholas A., Bauer, Clemens C.C., Leonard, Julia, Grotzinger, Hannah, Giebler, Melissa A., Torres, Yesi Camacho, Imhof, Andrea, Romeo, Rachel, Gabrieli, John D. E.

“…However, lower SES correlated with smaller reward-driven striatal responses, and reduced response slowing after rare rewards. These findings link lower SES to reduced reward responses, which could trigger a cycle of reduced reward pursuit, leading to fewer positive experiences, which could further diminish reward sensitivity.…”

Shear-flow characteristics of rock fractures and implications for injection-induced seismicity by Ji, Yinlin

“…To explore the causal link between fluid pressure heterogeneity and fracture slip propagation, the PFC2D modeling is developed and demonstrates that non-uniformly pressurized fractures exhibit global and localized drops of shear stress during the aseismic and seismic slip, respectively, and the slip transition dominates the fluid injection period. …”

Missing Data by Jungs de Almeida, Alessandra, Klein, Lauren, D’Ignazio, Catherine

“…While some might refer to data that is literally absent, as in statistical approaches to missing data that attempts to interpolate what might fill in the gaps,1 others, such as the artist and educator Mimi Ọnụọha, take “missing data” to mean something more political — “something [that] does not exist, but it should.”2 In the same line as Ọnụọha, our definition of missing data refers to information that goes uncounted (or otherwise unrecorded), despite social and political demands that such data should be collected and made available. …”

A training algorithm and stability analysis for recurrent neural networks by Xu, Zhao, Song, Qing, Wang, Danwei, Fan, Haijin

“…Besides, the transient response of learning process of RNNs is a critical issue, especially for on-line applications. Conventional RNNs training algorithms such as the backpropagation through time (BPTT) and real-time recurrent learning (RTRL) have not adequately satisfied these requirements because they often suffer from slow convergence speed. …”

PPARβ/δ agonism upregulates forkhead box A2 to reduce inflammation in C2C12 myoblasts and in skeletal muscle by Phua, Wendy Wen Ting, Tan, Wei Ren, Yip, Yun Sheng, Hew, Ivan Dongzheng, Wee, Jonathan Wei Kiat, Cheng, Hong Sheng, Leow, Melvin Khee Shing, Wahli, Walter, Tan, Nguan Soon

“…This reduced local inflammatory response limits tissue damage and restores muscle tetanic contraction. In line with these results, a deficiency in either PPARβ/δ or FoxA2 diminishes the action of the PPARβ/δ agonist GW501516 to suppress an aggravated inflammatory response. …”
