Towards collisions : an enhanced successive interference cancellation with asynchronism by Li, Qiang., Ting, See Ho., Motani, Mehul., Pandharipande, Ashish.

“…In this paper, we consider a hidden terminal scenario where two transmitters A and B, hidden to each other, wish to communicate to a common access point, AP. When a collision occurs at AP, due to the inherent asynchrony between the colliding packets, the mutual interference between them is effectively decreased. …”

Study of direct nanoimprinting processes by molecular dynamics simulations by Pei, Qing Xiang, Liu, Zi Shun, Zhang, Yong Wei, Dong, Zhili

“…In contrast, the dislocations move in parallel or normal to the imprint direction when imprinting on the (1 1 0) surface. For imprinting on the (1 1 1) surface, the dislocations glide in a small angle or normal to the imprint direction. …”

An improved coefficient decimation based reconfigurable low complexity FIR channel filter for cognitive radios by Ambede, Abhishek, Smitha, Kavallur Gopi, Vinod, Achutavarrier Prasad

“…Our method enhances the frequency response flexibility of the filter and doubles the center frequency resolution when compared to the conventional CDM. The proposed channel filter has a significantly lower multiplication complexity and achieves superior stopband and transition band characteristics when compared to the channel filters based on the conventional CDM. …”

Deactivation of the parvalbumin-positive interneurons in the hippocampus after fear-like behaviour following electrical stimulation of the dorsolateral periaqueductal gray of rats by Temel, Yasin., Blokland, Arjan., Lim, Lee Wei.

“…The majority of patients with panic disorder express a fearful sensation when encountered with panic-related cues. A subpopulation of GABAergic interneurons in the hippocampus has been demonstrated in the regulation of behavioural learning, especially during the contextual fear-conditioning. …”

A study of Chinese Adults’ motivation to learn a third or more languages by Li, J

“…<p>The level and nuances of motivation when learning third or more languages has not yet been widely researchd despite China having a large population of English language learners. …”

On tube models of rubber elasticity: fitting performance in relation to sensitivity to the invariant I2 by Kumar, G, Brassart, L

“…However, I₂ sensitivity can emerge from line-stretch–based micromechanical models when three-chain averaging is used. Comparisons between model predictions and experimental data confirm the direct correlation between strong I₂ sensitivity and fitting performance. …”

Professional obligations and the demandingness of acting against one’s conscience by Giubilini, A

“…On this view, freedom of conscience should be respected when the individual is operating in a professional capacity. …”

Information gathering: dissociable effects of autistic and alexithymic traits in youths aged 6–25 years by Lee, KS, Long, EL, Catmur, C, Hauser, TU, Bird, G

“…Accordingly, 97 typically developing youths (aged 6–25 years) performed an information gathering task in which they were asked to gather information to infer socioemotional (emotional state) and nonsocial (clothing preference) information about another person when information gathering was costly versus not costly. …”

Unlocking the value of ranger-based monitoring for biodiversity conservation and protected area management by Kuiper, T, Dancer, A, Beale, C, Ghoddousi, A, Ibbett, H, Joanny, L, Keane, A, Kavhu, B, Makaza, D, Milner-Gulland, EJ, Moore, J, Xu, L

“…Here we distill six key lessons and present a decision framework to guide funders, governments, protected area managers and NGOs toward more effective use of ranger-based monitoring for protected area management and suggest when alternative monitoring approaches may add value. …”

Emergent constraints indicate slower increases in future global evapotranspiration by Chai, Y, Yue, Y, Slater, L, Miao, C

“…Here, we uncover bivariate emergent constraint relationships between projected global ET trends (2015–2100) and historical vapour pressure deficit (VPD) trends (1980–2014) under the low emission scenario of SSP126 when water supply is sufficient, and with historical precipitation trends under the high emission scenarios of SSP370 and SSP585 when water availability is limited, across 28 CMIP6 models. …”

Gate-tunable Josephson diode by Mazur, GP, van Loo, N, van Driel, D, Wang, J-Y, Kouwenhoven, LP, Badawy, G, Gazibegovic, S, Bakkers, EPAM

From screen to scene: exploring factors influencing flow state and actual destination visitation tendencies in short travel videos by Chong, Sin-Er, Lim, Xin-Jean, Cheah, Jun-Hwa, Tee, Keng Kok

“…Moreover, the tendency to visit actual sites is heightened when the flow state experience is increased. This underscores the importance of considering these factors as crucial stimuli when exploring the effectiveness of STVs in shaping audience emotional states and responses.…”

Robust parameter estimation for one-inflated positive Poisson Lindley distribution under the presence and absence of outliers with applications to crime data by Mohd Tajuddin, Razik Ridzuan, Mohd Safari, Muhammad Aslam, Ismail, Noriszura

“…Hence, several estimators: maximum likelihood, method of moments, ordinary least squares, weighted least squares, Cramér-Von Mises, modified Cramér-Von Mises (MCVM) and maximum product of spacing (MPS); for the parameters of the model are also proposed and investigated in terms of unbiasedness, consistency and joint efficiency under the presence and absence of outliers. When the outliers are absent, the MPS estimator is the best estimator and when the outliers are present, the MCVM estimator is the best estimator. …”
