Rate-distortion optimized sparse coding with ordered dictionary for image set compression by Zhang, Xinfeng, Lin, Weisi, Zhang, Yabin, Wang, Shiqi, Ma, Siwei, Duan, Lingyu, Gao, Wen

“…In order to improve coding efficiency, the dictionary atoms are reordered according to their use frequencies when representing the representative image. As such, the remaining images can be efficiently compressed with sparse coding based on the reordered dictionary that is highly adaptive to the content of the image set. …”

Structure-behaviour correlations between two genetically closely related snail species by Le Ferrand, Hortense, Morii, Yuta

“…Recently, two land snails, Karaftohelix editha and Karaftohelix gainesi, were found to exhibit divergent phenotypes and responses to predation despite sharing the same habitat and most of their genome. When under attack from a beetle, K. editha snails retract into their shells whereas K. gainesi snails swing their shells. …”

Attachment style, COVID-19, and impression formation : how individual differences and external experiences influence the Halo effect by Lim, Yun Yee

“…Despite the body of literature on the topic, little is known about how individual differences and experiences influence someone's tendency to rely on irrelevant information when forming impressions. This is especially more poignant amid the global COVID-19 pandemic, where personal differences may cloud the perception of social distancing or other new pandemic policies. …”

High-pressure Response in Two-dimensional Perovskites with Fluorinated Organic Spacers by Ong, Brandon Toon Sheng

“…In this report, we demonstrated applying high pressure causes a significant bandgap narrowing in both perovskites. When a fluorine atom is substituted in (PEA)2PbI4, the intermolecular bonds between each molecule are stronger than without the presence of the fluorinated organic cation under the same pressure conditions for both the organic and inorganic framework of the perovskite. …”
