Object level grouping for video shots by Sivic, J, Schaffalitzky, F, Zisserman, A

“…For example, the front and back of a car, or the front and side of a face. In turn this enables object-level matching and recognition throughout a video.…”

SNeS: learning probably symmetric neural surfaces from incomplete data by Insafutdinov, E, Campbell, D, Henriques, JF, Vedaldi, A

“…We evaluate our method on the recently introduced CO3D dataset, focusing on the car category due to the challenge of reconstructing highly-reflective materials. …”

Topic extraction and sentiment analysis of a subreddit (r/coronavirus) by Chong, You Min

“…The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has spread its roots globally since the first outbreak in early 2020, and the first global crisis since SARS in 2002. COVID-19 has negatively impacted the world in more ways than one and has completely changed the way lives are being led. …”

Unraveling microglial spatial organization in the developing human brain with DeepCellMap, a deep learning approach coupled with spatial statistics by Perochon, T, Krsnik, Z, Massimo, M, Ruchiy, Y, Romero, AL, Mohammadi, E, Li, X, Long, KR, Parkkinen, L, Blomgren, K, Lagache, T, Menassa, DA, Holcman, D

“…Additionally, we uncover an association between microglia and blood vessels in fetal brains exposed to maternal SARS-CoV-2. These findings offer insights into whether various microglial phenotypes form networks in the developing brain to occupy space, and in conditions involving haemorrhages, whether microglia respond to, or influence changes in blood vessel integrity. …”

Safety outcomes following COVID-19 vaccination and infection in 5.1 million children in England by Copland, E, Patone, M, Saatci, D, Handunnetthi, L, Hirst, J, Hunt, DPJ, Mills, NL, Moss, P, Sheikh, A, Coupland, CAC, Harnden, A, Robertson, C, Hippisley-Cox, J

“…An additional 12 (95%CI 0–23) hospitalisations with epilepsy and 4 (95%CI 0–6) with demyelinating disease (in females only, mainly optic neuritis) were estimated per million following a second dose with BNT162b2. SARS-CoV-2 infection was associated with increased risks of hospitalisation from seven outcomes including multisystem inflammatory syndrome and myocarditis, but these risks were largely absent in those vaccinated prior to infection. …”

Artificial Intelligence and the US-China Balance of Power by Chang, Benjamin Angel

“…Finally, the third essay exploits supply chain datasets to assess each side’s ability to bring AI-enabled autonomous weapons to bear in future conventional conflicts. I find that control over the production of advanced AI chips by the United States and allies almost certainly means the United States would better exploit such weapons, if they emerged as decisive in modern warfare, within at least the next ten years. …”

Predicative adjectives in Thai: diachronic changes in the past century by Jaratjarungkiat, Sureenate, Park, Kyung-Eun, Tan, Samuel Yuan Han

“…Peripheral adjectives, on the other hand, bear resemblance to both nouns and verbs from a syntactic standpoint (e.g. they may co-occur with the negation marker, auxiliary verbs and even the copula /pen/). …”

Industrial policy refraction: how corporate strategy shapes development outcomes in Brazil by Zylberberg, E

“…My findings are brought to bear on three traditionally disparate bodies of research –industrial policy, corporate strategy and institutional theory – extending each and also bringing them into fruitful communion with one another.…”

Soft law, hard stakes? State commitment to non-binding international instruments and the case of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples by Villeneuve, L

“…In this thesis, incorporating insights from public international law into rationalist IR approaches, I argue that soft law instruments can have important effects over time and bring substantial costs for states to bear. This is particularly the case for soft law instruments ‘hardening’ through domestic law, treaties or customary international law, increasing the sovereignty and implementation costs attached to commitment. …”

Unravelling giant molecular clouds by Liang, F

“…<p>Giant molecular clouds (GMCs) provide the fuel for star formation and bear various feedbacks. Thus, they are key to our understanding of galaxy evolution and the baryon cycle. …”

Mechanics in dehydration-induced leaf morphing behaviors by Guo, Kexin

“…As the leaf naturally detaches and dries, the leaf lamina shrinks more than the stiff midrib, resulting in in-plane strain mismatch between the mesophyll tissues and the midrib. For thin-sheet materials like plant leaves, uniform uniaxial stretching of the sheet leads to wrinkling, a phenomenon that has been extensively studied analytically and numerically. …”

Light management in nanostructures for solar cell application by Du, Qingguo

“…With the optimized parameters, the nanopatterned aluminum thin film exhibits a high transmittance in the range from 300 – 1000 nm and has a low sheet resistance, which makes it a potential electrode to replace ITO. …”

The corrosion of stirrups and its effect on the seismic fragility of a corroded reinforced concrete (RC) column by Zhang, Guanghui, Li, Bing

“…The corrosion of stirrups is more serious than that of longitudinal bars, due to smaller clear concrete cover and smaller diameter. …”

A study on protein secondary structure phase transition based on an effective hydrogen bonding potential by Leong, Hon Wai

“…We have employed such formalism to analyze the normal modes distribution of polypeptide secondary structures, such as the α-helix and the β-sheet. Interestingly, our results are in agreement with literature. …”
