Insight into actin organization and function in cytokinesis from analysis of fission yeast mutants by Subramanian, Dhivya, Huang, Junqi, Sevugan, Mayalagu, Robinson, Robert C., Balasubramanian, Mohan K., Tang, Xie

“…Actin is present in all eukaryotes as highly dynamic filamentous structures, such as linear cables and branched filaments. Detailed investigation of the molecular role of actin in various processes has been hampered due to the multifunctionality of the protein and the lack of alleles defective in specific processes. …”

Independence test for high dimensional data based on regularized canonical correlation coefficients by Yang, Yanrong, Pan, Guangming

“…The asymptotic distribution of the statistic under the null hypothesis is established as a corollary of general central limit theorems (CLT) for the linear statistics of classical and regularized sample canonical correlation coefficients when p1p1p1 and p2p2p2 are both comparable to the sample size nnn. …”

Variational study of the two‐impurity spin–boson model with a common Ohmic bath : ground‐state phase transitions by Zhou, Nengji, Zhang, Yuyu, Lü, Zhiguo, Zhao, Yang

“…Quantum criticality in both the impurity system and the Ohmic bosonic bath is investigated with relevant transition points and critical exponents determined accurately. With the linear grid of the Ohmic spectral density, numerical calculations herein produce a much better description of the ground states with lower energies than other calculations employing a logarithmic grid with a discretization factor far greater than unity. …”

Transition optimization for a VTOL tail-sitter UAV by Li, Boyang, Sun, Jingxuan, Zhou, Weifeng, Wen, Chih-Yung, Low, Kin Huat, Chen, Chih-Keng

“…The simulation and experimental results show that the optimized transition strategy enables the vehicle to finish transition with less time and change of altitude compared with that by using traditional linear transition methods.…”

What’s holding girls back? : Exploring the role of field beliefs in accounting for the gender gap in undergraduate academic fields in Singapore by Chua, Athena Pei Fen

“…Results indicated that field-specific ability beliefs (science), indicated by the STEM indicator and the systemizing-empathizing cognitive style, were correlated to female representation. Using hierarchical linear regressions, we found that the systemizing-empathizing cognitive style explained for female representation across fields, above and beyond what could be accounted for by field-specific ability beliefs (brilliance) and the STEM indicator. …”

Breakup of ultra-thin liquid films on vertical fiber enhanced by Marangoni effect by Ding, Zijing, Liu, Zhou, Liu, Rong, Yang, Chun

“…To predict the breakup of film, the van der Waals attraction, proportional to h-3, is taken into account. Linear stability analysis shows that the Rayleigh-Plateau instability is enhanced by the long-range attractions and Marangoni effect. …”

Effects of a participatory-art based intervention on holistic health outcomes of Singapore older community dwellers: the Singapore a-health study by Ho, Reen Wan Li

“…Intervention group participants were hypothesised to experience unique improvements in frailty, wellbeing and quality of life over the 12 weeks. Linear mixed-effect models did not find quantitative evidence for intervention effects, though a thematic analysis uncovered four themes pointing to benefits of the intervention: promoting cognitive stimulation, enhancing perceived self-efficacy, enabling social involvement and fostering art appreciation. …”

Study of vector antennas by Zeng, Yong

“…However, when the number of antenna elements used is relatively small, the performance degrades dramatically due to the poor accuracy and low resolution. Besides, if linear antenna arrays are used as field sensors, the ambiguity problems make it impossible to estimate the entire 360⁰ ranges. …”
