What the visual system can learn from the non-dominant hand: The effect of graphomotor engagement on visual discrimination by Ben-Ami, Shlomit, Buaron, Batel, Yaron, Ori, Keane, Kyle, Sun, Virginia H., Phillips, Flip, Friedman, Jason, Sinha, Pawan, Mukamel, Roy

“…However, existing studies have emphasized the dominant hand, which is superiorly dexterous in fine-motor movements. This near-exclusive focus prompts the inquiry of whether the observed perceptual facilitation is a general characteristic of the motor system, or specific to pathways controlling the skilled over-trained dominant hand. …”

Learning Model Predictive Control Parameters via Bayesian Optimization for Battery Fast Charging by Hirt, Sebastian, Höhl, Andreas, Schaeffer, Joachim, Pohlodek, Johannes, Braatz, Richard D, Findeisen, Rolf

“…This approach establishes a hierarchical control framework where Bayesian optimization directly fine-tunes closed-loop behavior towards a global and long-term objective, while MPC handles lower-level, short-term control tasks. …”

A model for cis-regulation of transcriptional condensates and gene expression by proximal lncRNAs by Natarajan, Pradeep, Shrinivas, Krishna, Chakraborty, Arup K

“…Finally, our model predicts that lncRNA transcription can fine-tune transcription from neighboring condensate-controlled genes, repressing transcription from highly expressed genes and enhancing transcription of genes expressed at a low level. …”

Enabling Perspective-Aware Ai with Contextual Scene Graph Generation by Platnick, Daniel, Alirezaie, Marjan, Rahnama, Hossein

“…We evaluated PASGG-LM pipelines using state-of-the-art SGG models, including Motifs, Motifs-TDE, and RelTR, and showed that fine-tuning LLMs, particularly GPT-4o-mini and Llama-3.1-8B, improves performance in terms of R@K, mR@K, and mAP. …”

Towards Spatially Varying Gloss Reproduction for 3D Printing by Piovarci, Michal, Foshey, Michael, Babaei, Vahid, Rusinkiewicz, Szymon, Matusik, Wojciech, Didyk, Piotr

“…The main difficulty in automating this process lies in the physical properties of the varnishes which owe their appearance to a high concentration of large particles and as such, they cannot be easily deposited with current 3D color printers. As a result, fine-grained control of gloss properties using today's 3D printing technologies is limited in terms of both spatial resolution and the range of achievable gloss. …”

Full-spectrum out-of-distribution detection by Yang, Jingkang, Zhou, Kaiyang, Liu, Ziwei

“…These new benchmarks have a more fine-grained categorization of distributions (i.elet@tokeneonedot, training ID, covariate-shifted ID, near-OOD, and far-OOD) for the purpose of more comprehensively evaluating the pros and cons of algorithms. …”

Operando electrodeposition of nonprecious metal copper nanocatalysts on low-dimensional support materials for nitrate reduction reactions by Tan, Shu Fen, Roslie, Hany, Salim, Teddy, Han, Zengyu, Wu, Dongshuang, Liang, Caihong, Teo, Lim Fong, Lam, Yeng Ming

“…By combining real-time imaging, electrochemical measurements, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and finite-element analysis (FEA), we show that low-dimensional support materials, especially carbon nanotubes, are excellent for generating uniform and finely dispersed platinum group metal-(PGM)-free catalysts under mild electrochemical conditions. …”

Characterising human disparity tuning properties using population receptive field mapping by Alvarez, I, Mancari, A, Ip, IB, Parker, AJ, Bridge, H

“…Finally, the individual thresholds for psychophysical stereoacuity at the 3 different pedestal disparities were broadly related to population receptive field tuning width in area V1, suggesting a possible limit for fine stereopsis at the earliest level of cortical processing. …”

A driftwood-based record of Arctic sea ice during the last 500 years from northern Svalbard reveals sea ice dynamics in the Arctic Ocean and Arctic peripheral seas by Hole, GM, Rawson, T, Farnsworth, WR, Schomacker, A, Ingólfsson, Ó, Macias-Fauria, M

“…Provenance and age determinations by dendrochronology and wood anatomy provide insights into Arctic Ocean currents and climatic conditions at a fine spatial resolution, as crossdating with reference chronologies from the circum-Arctic boreal forests enables determination of the watershed the driftwood originated from. …”

Bach performance practice in the late French Romantic Organ School: a study of Welte organ roll recordings by Holman, C

“…However, written sources can only give generalities of performance practice. The extremely fine details of timing, articulation, registration, and more can be seen in the medium of organ rolls by the Welte Company of Freiburg im Breisgau, which can not only reproduce performances today that sound identical to what the recording artist heard, but be analysed in extreme detail.…”
