Another philosophical look at twistor theory by Gajic, G, Lilani, N, Read, J

“…In this article, we (a) present for philosophers an introduction to twistor theory, (b) consider how the spacetime–twistor correspondence interacts with the philosophical literature on theoretical equivalence, and (c) explore the bearing which twistor theory might have on philosophical issues such as the status of dynamics, the geometrisation of physics, spacetime ontology, the emergence of spacetime, and symmetry-to-reality inferences. …”

Fragmentation of white phosphorus by a cyclic (alkyl)(amino)alumanyl anion by Koshino, Kota, Kinjo, Rei

“…Structural and electronic features of the latter were fully characterized by standard spectroscopic means, X-ray diffraction analysis, and computational studies, which revealed that 2 bears highly polarized Al (δ+) and P (δ-) and relatively short Al-P bonds, indicative of the σ-donating and π-accepting nature of CAAAl groups.…”

Open questions in ancient Greek phonology: some new evidence from enclitics by Probert, P

“…Roussou and Probert (2023: 235–297) put forward some new discoveries bearing on the accentuation of sequences of consecutive ancient Greek enclitics, and a new descriptive claim as to the way in which host words plus sequences of consecutive enclitics were accented. …”

Development of image-based method for the quantitative assessment of cartilage damage from CT as a biomarker in osteoarthritis by Zheng, J-Q

“…</p> <p>The next phase included segmenting the cartilage from aligned CT volumes, utilizing a deep learning segmentation method, the Gate Attention-U-net, for enhanced precision and versatility in cartilage segmentation, achieving an 88% DSC and 9um ASD in the tibia's weight-bearing area.</p> <p>After extracting cartilage shape, we compared the thickness and remaining volume of tibial cartilage in the weight-bearing area with a prior semi-manual method, observing a Pearson correlation coefficient (R value) exceeding 0.8 with the semi-manual method (p&lt;0.0001) and a correlation with OA scores from histological images (p&lt;0.05). …”

Applications of deep learning for physical layer of wireless communication systems by Xie, Yihang

“…The 1D-TRNet receiver outperforms traditional OFDM receivers and state-of-the-art generalized approximate message passing (GAMP) receivers in terms of bit-error rate (BER) performance. The third research work proposes a deep learning-based 5G receiver, named communication transformer network (Comm-Trans Net), which is designed to be robust for different sub-types of TDL channels. …”

Sexual selection predicts the persistence of populations within altered environments by Parrett, Jonathan M., Mann, Darren J., Chung, Arthur Y. C., Slade, Eleanor M., Knell, Robert J.

“…The effect of sexual selection on species persistence remains unclear. The cost of bearing ornaments or armaments might increase extinction risk, but sexual selection can also enhance the spread of beneficial alleles and increase the removal of deleterious alleles, potentially reducing extinction risk. …”
