Urban region representation learning with human trajectories: a multi-view approach incorporating transition, spatial, and temporal perspectives by Zhang, Yu, Huang, Weiming, Yao, Yao, Gao, Song, Cui, Lizhen, Yan, Zhongmin

“…We utilize skip-gram to model human transition patterns exhibited from massive amounts of human trajectories, where long-range dependency is meaningful. Subsequently, we leverage unsupervised graph representation learning to model spatial adjacency and temporal pattern similarities, where short-range dependency is favorable. …”

教会华校的特色与地位 ：以新加坡公教中学为案例 = Missionary Chinese-medium school : its traits and position with Catholic high school, Singapore as case study by 卓汶德 Toh, Boon Teck

“…Historical evidences have shown that the missionary Chinese-medium schools are created on the basis of Chinese-medium schools and dominantly English-speaking Christian schools. With a long history of nearly 80 years and holding onto the teaching ideology of focusing students to become bilingual with Chinese and English, Catholic High School has produced some of the well-known personalities in the entertainment and the political arenas in Singapore. …”

Characterisation of novel electroactive consortia from environmental samples enriched through potentiostatic growth by Doyle, Lucinda Elizabeth

“…After this validation, the platform was then used to characterise a complex microbial community, during long-term electrochemical enrichment. Tropical climate sediment was chosen as inoculum source, as it is currently under-explored in this context which frequently focuses on enrichment from waste water. …”

Kinematics of Active Deformation Across the Western Kunlun Mountain Range (Xinjiang, China) and Potential Seismic Hazards Within the Southern Tarim Basin by Guilbaud, Christelle, Simoes, Martine, Barrier, Laurie, Laborde, Amandine, Van der Woerd, Jérôme, Li, Haibing, Tapponnier, Paul, Coudroy, Thomas, Murray, Andrew

“…From their incision pattern and using age constraints retrieved on some of these terraces from field sampling, we quantify the slip rate on the underlying blind ramp to 0.5 to 2.5 mm/yr, with a most probable long-term value of 2 to 2.5 mm/yr. The evolution of the Yecheng–Pishan fold is proposed by combining all structural, morphological, and chronological observations. …”
