VERY LARGE-SCALE NEIGHBORHOOD SEARCH FOR THE QUADRATIC ASSIGNMENT PROBLEM by Ahuja, Ravindra, Jha, Krishna, Orlin, James, Sharma, Dushyant

“…Previous efforts to explore larger size neighborhoods (such as 3-exchange or 4-exchange neighborhoods) were not very successful, as it took too long to evaluate the larger set of neighbors. In this paper, we propose very largescale neighborhood (VLSN) search algorithms where the size of the neighborhood is very large and we propose a novel search procedure to heuristically enumerate good neighbors. …”

Engineering protein thermostability using a generic activity-independent biophysical screen inside the cell by Asial, Ignacio, Cheng, Yue Xiang, Engman, Henrik, Dollhopf, Maria, Wu, Binghuang, Nordlund, Pär, Cornvik, Tobias

“…We also show that thermostabilization of a protein drug using our approach translates into dramatic improvements in long-term stability. As the method is generic and activity independent, it can easily be applied to a wide range of proteins.…”

The role of mainstreamness and interdisciplinarity for the relevance of scientific papers by Thurner, Stefan, Liu, Wenyuan, Klimek, Peter, Cheong, Siew Ann

“…Studying the rewards of papers, we find that in terms of absolute citations, both, mainstream and interdisciplinary papers are rewarded. In the long run, mainstream papers perform less than interdisciplinary ones in terms of citation rates. …”

Comment toxicity detection via a multichannel convolutional bidirectional gated recurrent unit by Kumar, J. Ashok, Abirami, S., Trueman, Tina Esther, Cambria, Erik

“…Moreover, this hybrid model extracts local features with many filters and different kernel sizes to model input words with long term dependency. We then integrate multiple channels with a fully connected layer, normalization layer, and an output layer with a sigmoid activation function for predicting multilabel categories. …”

An epistemic case study: how businesses exploit consumers in self-care by Kok, Wenyi

“…With references to specific companies involved in the topic of self-care, and drawing theories from Fricker, Goldman, Carson, Wokutch and Cox, businesses’ interests for profits, along with its strong influence can shape the public’s belief regarding self-care. I argue that in the long run, businesses’ involvement in the topic of self-care will cause negative epistemic effects on the public’s belief. …”

Investigation of pollen microgel and its viability as a sunscreen product by Koh, Wei Jun

“…However, exposure to a combination of common organic UV filters such as oxybenzone and homosalate is worrying considering the lack of safety data for these compounds, which does not make the long-term use of chemical sunscreens viable. Therefore, there has been extensive research conducted on the possibility of having more natural ingredients being used as sunscreen. …”

Sworn oaths, golden writing and decapitated heads: communication in Thomas Malory's Le Morte D’Arthur by Chwa, Yi Jie

“…Current Malorian scholarship has identified these three modes of communication as essential in interpreting the complex ethical situations in the text, but have long treated them as separate categories. Additionally, I also examine the use of oaths in the early parts of the text, namely Arthur’s coronation oath and the Pentecostal Oath, to examine how Malory sets a rudimentary framework on how we should expect Arthur and his knights to behave. …”
