On a problem of El-Zahar and Erdős by Nguyen, T, Scott, A, Seymour, P

“…Is it true that if <i>G</i> is a graph with bounded clique number, and sufficiently large chromatic number, then it has two anticomplete subgraphs, both with large chromatic number? …”

Dissonances in care: childhood, well-being, and the politics of welfare in Japan by Chapman, CR

“…The welfare system still does not help children achieve permanence as social relationships remain structurally bounded, yet it is the local level acts of care that mediate subjectivity that present the most significance for improving policy and practice.…”

CSQUiD: an index and non-probability framework for constrained skyline query processing over uncertain data by Lawal, Ma'aruf Mohammed, Ibrahim, Hamidah, Mohd Sani, Nor Fazlida, Yaakob, Razali, Alwan, Ali A.

Deep learning based monocular visual-inertial odometry by Mahdi Abolfazli Esfahani

“…This combination can be used in many applications, from smart mobile phones to micro aerial vehicles. Traditional methods attempt to extract features from visual information, track them in consecutive frames, and tightly optimize the relation between feature points in consecutive camera frames with the secured IMU information to solve the problem. …”

Design and verification of carefree maneuvering protection for a high performance fighter aircraft by Jebakumar, S. K., Pashilkar, Abhay A., Sundararajan, Narasimhan

“…This is then augmented with a novel angle of attack protection that comes into play only when the pilot inputs cause the aircraft to exceed the incidence on the positive or negative side (one sided protection), while maintaining the rate command attitude hold behavior within the normal operational bounds of angle of attack. Traditional methods of piloted simulation with a representative cohort of pilots can be time consuming to set up and may not give sufficient confidence whether a departure protection scheme is effective. …”

Exploring integrity of AEADs with faults: definitions and constructions by Saha, Sayandeep, Khairallah, Mustafa, Peyrin, Thomas

“…Concerning symmetric-key operating modes, such as Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD), the state-of-the-art mainly addresses the passive Side-Channel Attacks (SCA) in the form of leakage resilient cryptography. So far, only a handful of work address Fault Attacks (FA) in the context of AEADs concerning the fundamental properties – integrity and confidentiality. …”

Nanoconfinement of magnesium hydride in porous scaffolds for hydrogen storage: Kinetics, thermodynamics, and future prospects by Saeid, Mohammed Faraj, Abdulkadir, B. A., Sumaiya, Zainal Abidin, Herma Dina, Setiabudi

“…Among the frequently reported hydrides, magnesium hydride (MgH2) gained significant consideration as a highly prospective material for energy storage applications. Nevertheless, the hands-on use of MgH2 is restricted by its high thermodynamic barriers and slow kinetics. …”

Development of a software application for teaching computer networking by Wang, Jason Shicheng

“…This has been shown to make learning more enjoyable and effective, while also promoting independent learning. The hands-on nature also increases immersion for many students, allowing them to put the theoretical principles into use with practical examples. …”

Lessons in ecology and conservation from a tropical forest fragment in Singapore by Lum, Shawn, Ngo, Kang Min

“…Exotic tree species are confined to recovering secondary forest fringes and do not threaten the primary forest, except for perhaps shade tolerant Pará rubber and a handful of cultivated fruit trees. Studies of birds and plants found that life history differences could account for differences in genetic connectivity or isolation for different species, with population genetic implications for other taxa. …”

An investigation of friction-based tendon sheath model appropriate for control purposes by Tjahjowidodo, Tegoeh, Lau, Michael Wai Shing, Phee, Soo Jay, Do, T. N.

“…The tendon sheath mechanism plays an important role in many robotic systems from surgical devices to robot hands. However, many unexpected properties such as nonlinear hysteresis and backlash, which appear in the tendon sheath system, cause major losses in force transmission. …”

Development and implementation of a 3d-HDR brachytherapy program for cervical cancer in a sub-Saharan African centre by Joseph, A, Balogun, O, Adegboyega, B, Salako, O, Irabor, OC, Ajose, A, Adeneye, S, Alabi, A, Ohazurike, E, Ogamba, CF, Oladipo, A, Fagbemide, O, Habeebu, M, Puthoff, D, Onitilo, A, Ngwa, W, Nwachukwu, C

“…</p> <p><strong>METHOD AND METERIALS:&nbsp;</strong>The implementation process required investment in infrastructure: creating a dedicated brachytherapy suite equipped with modern technology; and human capital: conducting both virtual and hands-on training for staff; and involving international experts during the initial treatment phases. …”

Pathway and network analysis of more than 2500 whole cancer genomes by Reyna, MA, Haan, D, Paczkowska, M, Verbeke, LPC, Vazquez, M, Kahraman, A, Pulido-Tamayo, S, Barenboim, J, Wadi, L, Dhingra, P, Shrestha, R, Getz, G, Lawrence, MS, Pedersen, JS, Rubin, MA, Wheeler, DA, Brunak, S, Izarzugaza, JMG, Khurana, E, Marchal, K, von Mering, C, Sahinalp, SC, Valencia, A, PCAWG Drivers and Functional Interpretation Working Group, Reimand, J, Stuart, JM, Raphael, BJ, PCAWG Consortium

“…However, non-coding cancer driver mutations are less well-characterized and only a handful of recurrent non-coding mutations, most notably TERT promoter mutations, have been reported. …”

Self-learning shape recognition in medical images by Ma, Jingting

“…Experiments are conducted using two representative datasets, a set of 30 public CT kidneys and a set of 49 internal MRI ankle bones. Embedded into an existing segmentation framework, experimental results show that SSM built with the proposed RKPCA outperforms the state-of-the-art modeling techniques in terms of model quality and segmentation accuracy. …”
