Performance-based identity in a BIM environment : An architect’s perceptions and experiences by Syafizal, Shahruddin, Mohd, Zairul, Ahmad Tarmizi, Haron, Meor Mohammad, Fared

“…Consequently, architects' failing to adapt their core identity to the varying circumstances may lead to their irrelevance and being side-lined merely as aesthetic building surgeons. The current study therefore seeks a better understanding of their perceptions and experiences in manifesting their identities in the phenomenon. …”

Tablets, Pens, and Pencils: The Influence of Tools on Sketching in Early Stage Design by Das, Madhurima, Huang, May, Yang, Maria C

“…We hypothesize that participants using tablet and pencil will produce fewer drawings than those using pen due to their ability to erase and focus on perfecting drawings, and we expect participants using the tablet to produce cleaner drawings with smoother strokes due to the tablet’s ability to auto-smooth lines. Based on prior literature, we posit that women and gender minorities will produce fewer sketches and use the feathering style of sketching more than men.…”

Regulation of microRNA degradation in Caenorhabditis elegans via the E3 ubiquitin ligase EBAX-1 by Stubna, Michael William

“…TDMD underlies the instability of many miRNAs in diverse cell lines and animals. In this work, I probe the biological scope of TDMD as a regulatory mechanism in the nematode Caenorhabiditis elegans, which tolerates homozygous loss of the ZSWIM8 ortholog, EBAX-1, and expresses some miRNAs that are subject to rapid, developmentally regulated decay. …”

Cellular studies on the role of OGFOD1, a 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase by Attwood, M

“…The transcriptional regulator, Thanatos associated protein 11 (THAP11) was identified as a novel high stoichiometry OGFOD1-interacting protein across a range of cell lines. Analysis of the THAP11 transcriptional programme in SW620 cells defined a repressive action of OGFOD1 overexpression on THAP11 DNA binding and target gene expression. …”

Towards Synergistic Understanding of Language Processing in Biological and Artificial Systems by Hosseini Asl, Eghbal

“…Furthermore, the average degree of sentence straightening in the deep layers of the model correlates with corpus-based estimates of sentence surprisal, which are linked to human comprehension difficulty (e.g., as reflected in reading times). Collectively, these lines of work provide essential ingredients for building a more computationally precise model of language processing in the human brain, leveraging synergies with artificial neural network language models.…”
