Hadamard transform-based calibration method for programmable optical filters based on digital micro-mirror device by Kang, Jian, Li, Xiang, Liu, Quan

“…The smallest relative RMSE values are therefore achieved when each channel contains only one DMD pixel. In contrast, for the sequential scanning method, the relative RMSE increases dramatically when each channel contains three or fewer DMD pixels. …”

A simplified weak coupling dynamic analysis method for running safety evaluation of train on bridges under earthquake excitation by Zhu, Zhihui, Gong, Wei, Zhou, Gaoyang, Yang, Yaowen, Jiang, Lizhong

“…Additionally, based on the method's assumptions, the earthquake excitation on the train can be separated into the seismic inertial effect and seismic-induced bridge deformation, enabling a quantitative analysis of the impact of these two types of excitations on train safety. Taking a 10-span simply supported bridge and a long-span cable-stayed bridge as examples, the proposed method's assumptions are verified by comparing its results with those obtained from a complex TTBS model. …”

Effect of negative mood on working memory in 3 to 5 year old pre-schoolers. by Revathy Pachamuthu.

“…Preschoolers also engaged in the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT), Dimensional Change Card Sort (DCCS) and Digit and Block Span tasks. The findings did not give support to our main hypothesis, as results showed that there was no significant difference in reaction time between negative and neutral mood manipulated group in the SOPT, but additional insights were revealed.…”

Positive mood and working memory in young preschool children. by Tang, Mavis Yi Wen.

“…However, positive mood did not significantly affect children’s working memory span. These findings suggested that positive mood elicits an additional load on underlying executive processes (inhibition) in the service of working memory, decreasing cognitive resource capacity to devote to the task at hand.…”
