Development of morphing UAV actuated with shape memory alloy by Zhang, Alwyn Jianzhong

“…SMAs are “smart” materials that remember its original shape and are able to return to the shape after deformation when heated to a certain temperature. The process is also known as Shape Memory Effect (SME). …”

Lights and sounds : effects of congruence and musical sophistication on auditory and visual perception by Aw, Justus Jinyue

“…Such effects are observed, for example, when visual stimuli presented higher in visual space seem to are reacted to more quickly when an accompanying sound is also high in pitch as compared to if the sound is low in pitch. …”

From zero to hero : entrepreneurial experience and its motivational dynamics by Zhan, Siran

“…Based on this reasoning, I then develop additional propositions and hypotheses regarding the moderating role of entrepreneurial experience on how role identities motivate entrepreneurs' cognition and behavior, specifically, when generating and evaluating creative business ideas. …”

An analytical formulation for the fatigue damage skewness relating to a narrowband process by Low, Ying Min.

“…This paper extends the statistical analysis to the skewness, as the damage probability distribution can be distinctly asymmetric when the coefficient of variation is sizeable. For a linear oscillator system, the damage skewness has a closed form result, which is demonstrated to be highly accurate when benchmarked against Monte Carlo simulation and rainflow counting. …”

Finding large additive and multiplicative Sidon sets in sets of integers by Jing, Y, Mudgal, A

“…In this paper, we prove, amongst other results, that there exist absolute constants g ∈ N and δ > 0 such that for any h ∈ N and for any finite set A of integers, the largest B + h [g] set B inside A and the largest B × h [g] set C inside A satisfy<br><br> max{|B|, |C|} ≫h |A| (1+δ)/h .<br><br> In fact, when h = 2, we may set g = 31, and when h is sufficiently large, we may set g = 1 and δ ≫ (log log h) 1/2−o(1). …”

Link me baby one more time: social music discovery on Spotify by Babul, SA, Hristova, D, Lima, A, Lambiotte, R, Beguerisse-Díaz, M

“…We find that the receiver of a link is more likely to engage with a new artist when (1) they have similar music taste to the sender and the shared track is a good fit for their taste, (2) they have a stronger and more intimate tie with the sender, and (3) the shared artist is popular amongst the receiver’s connections. …”

The Mark of Cain: The crime of terrorism in times of armed conflict as interpreted by the Court of Appeal of England and Wales in R v. Mohammed Gul by Coco, A

“…Marking them as terrorists, even when they abide by the laws of war, constitutes instead a disincentive to comply with such laws.…”

The evolution of signalling and monitoring in plant-fungal networks by Scott, T, Kiers, ET, West, SA

“…Experiments have shown that when one plant is attacked by a pathogen or herbivore, this can lead to other plants connected to the same mycorrhizal network up-regulating their defense mechanisms. …”

2D human pose estimation in TV shows by Ferrari, V, Marín-Jiménez, M, Zisserman, A

“…Direct pose estimation on this uncontrolled material is often too difficult, especially when knowing nothing about the location, scale, pose, and appearance of the person, or even whether there is a person in the frame or not.…”

Heights via anabelian geometry and local Bloch-Kato Selmer sets by Betts, L

“…To this end, we present three main theorems giving such a description in terms of the Q_l and Q_p-pro-unipotent etale realisations when the base field is p-adic, and in terms of the R-pro-unipotent Betti–de Rham realisation when the base field is archimedean.…”

Estimation of end-of-outbreak probabilities in the presence of delayed and incomplete case reporting by Plank, MJ, Hart, WS, Polonsky, J, Keita, M, Ahuka-Mundeke, S, Thompson, RN

“…Towards the end of an infectious disease outbreak, when a period has elapsed without new case notifications, a key question for public health policymakers is whether the outbreak can be declared over. …”

Policies in parallel? A comparative study of journalistic AI policies in 52 global news organisations by Simon, FM, Becker, KB, Crum, C

“…Our study shows that publishers have already begun to converge in their guidelines on key points such as transparency and human supervision when dealing with AI-generated content. However, we argue that national and organisational idiosyncrasies continue to matter in shaping publishers’ practices, with both accounting for some of the variation seen in the data. …”

Dark patterns and consumer vulnerability by Zac, A, Huang, Y, von Moltke, A, Decker, C, Ezrachi, A

“…This insight highlights the instances in which dark patterns would be most effective – when no further action is required by the user. Consumer vulnerability is therefore more pronounced when dealing with online providers who store users’ payment details and can rely on a ‘single click’ to complete the purchase.…”
