The Relationship between Linguistic Representations in Biological and Artificial Neural Networks by Kauf, Carina

“…Then I use fMRI to probe the computations that drive the language network’s response. I find evidence for a generalized reliance of language comprehension on syntactic processing, contra claims that language comprehension relies on shallow/associative processing, and for only a superficial encoding of sentence meaning. …”

Investigating the inner controls on explosive eruptions using textural analyses and petrology by Bernard, Olivier

“…First, I focus on the Rabaul caldera system (Papua-New-Guinea) where effusive, strombolian, vulcanian and sub-plinian eruptions occured in the past 120 years without any noticeable chemical changes in the magma compositions. I find that slight changes in the pre-eruptive state of the magma such as phenocryst-content and exsolved volatile contents influenced magma ascent rates and subsequent eruption styles. …”

Functional characterization of orexin system by Chua, Peiling

“…Orexin, which has been known to be involved in feeding and sleep-wake cycle, might have antidepressant-like effects. Researches indicate that depression might be associated with nucleus accumbens and its dopaminergic inputs from ventral tegmental area, which make up the mesolimbic dopamine system. …”

Sound and smoke propagation models for virtual crowd environments by Vaisagh Viswanathan Thattamparambil

“…Virtual crowd simulations are important for various applications like defense, social studies, etc. While literature exists on agent design and sensor modeling, there is still no generic model for sound and smoke propagation that can be integrated into existing virtual crowd simulation frameworks. …”

Recovery of Herschel-Bulkley Fluid Parameters from Video via Differentiable Simulations by Eastman, John M.

“…Our approach aims to accurately recover physical parameters and achieve high-fidelity 3D reconstructions from single-view videos of fluids, even those with complex rheological behaviors like shear thinning and thickening. In this study, we apply our method to a Herschel-Bulkley fluid, namely ketchup, under two different real-world conditions: a 50mm column collapse and being squeezed from a bottle. …”

In-plane surface wave in a classical elastic half-space covered by a surface layer with microstructure by Fan, Hui, Long, Jianmin

“…Thirdly, by employing the second-order strain-gradient model (Aifantis in Int. J. Eng. Sci. 30:1279–1299, 1992), we derive the dispersion equation of the surface wave for the case that the microstructure length scale is larger than the layer thickness. …”

Examining discrimination in home improvement financing (Home Mortgage Disclosure Act 2012–2016) and neighborhood health in the United States by Davis, Brigette A., Arcaya, Mariana C., Williams, David R., Metzger, Molly, Krieger, Nancy

“…Using US Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data between 2012 and 2016, we assess individual and census-tract level predictors of applying to, and being denied home improvement loans. We find non-Hispanic Black applicants are significantly more likely to be denied loans (OR: 2.28 p < 0.01), and that loans for areas with a high proportion of non-Hispanic Black residents (OR: 1.09, p < 0.01) are most likely to be denied, while applications in tracts with the highest proportion of non-Hispanic white residents (OR: 0.90, p < 0.01) are least likely to be denied. …”

Leveling the playing field: the selection and motivation effects of tournament prize spread information by Cardinaels, Eddy, Chen, Clara Xiaoling, Yin, Huaxiang

“…In this paper, we experimentally investigate whether the availability of tournament prize spread information enhances employee effort through both a selection effect and a motivation effect. We predict and find that when employees can select into tournaments of varying prize spreads (which proxies for an environment where prize spread information is available), high-ability employees are more likely than low-ability employees to select into the tournament with a larger prize spread. …”
