Information systems practice for the age of consequences by Silberman, MS

“…Building on the view that bottlenecks in addressing environmental problems are more ‘institutional’ than ‘technical,’ but that technology development can be understood as ‘politics by other means,’ the paper makes two main contributions to LIMITS. First, it offers a set of propositions about technology and institutions, from literatures including organizational psychology and software engineering, to help orient ‘limits-aware’ information technology practice. …”

Editorial commentary: Evidence for patch augmentation of rotator cuff repair is weak by Cook, JA, Baldwin, M, Carr, AJ

“…Patch augmentation is an intuitively appealing approach to seek to reduce failure rate and improve outcomes for patients. Two main augmentation approaches are used: "on-lay" and "bridging." …”

Bayesian methods for image super-resolution by Pickup, LC, Capel, DP, Roberts, S, Zisserman, A

“…Related Bayesian super-resolution approaches marginalize over the high-resolution image, necessitating the use of an unfavourable image prior, whereas our method allows for more realistic image prior distributions, and reduces the dimension of the integral considerably, removing the main computational bottleneck of algorithms such as Tipping and Bishop's Bayesian image super-resolution. …”

Morphology‐Directed Light Emission from Fluorescent Janus Colloids for Programmable Chemical‐To‐Optical Signal Transduction by Frank, Bradley D., Nagelberg, Sara, Baryzewska, Agata W., Simón Marqués, Pablo, Antonietti, Markus, Kolle, Mathias, Zeininger, Lukas

“…Informed by experimental observations of morphology‐dependent optical confinement of internally emitted light within the higher refractive index phases, ray‐tracing is used to predict and fine‐tune the droplets’ optical properties and their ability to concentrate light. …”

What the visual system can learn from the non-dominant hand: The effect of graphomotor engagement on visual discrimination by Ben-Ami, Shlomit, Buaron, Batel, Yaron, Ori, Keane, Kyle, Sun, Virginia H., Phillips, Flip, Friedman, Jason, Sinha, Pawan, Mukamel, Roy

“…However, existing studies have emphasized the dominant hand, which is superiorly dexterous in fine-motor movements. This near-exclusive focus prompts the inquiry of whether the observed perceptual facilitation is a general characteristic of the motor system, or specific to pathways controlling the skilled over-trained dominant hand. …”
