Knowledge-based simulation of a final assembly process in the hard disk drive industry by Koh, Boon Khai.

“…Due to the dynamic and uncertain characteristics in the final assembly process, many problems such as inventory buildup, long leadtime, etc. widely exist. In order to man-age and control the assembly line effectively, as well as reduce the inventory and im-prove the throughput, computer simulation is an obvious potential solution. …”

China's engagement with the liberal international order by Chua, Ze Ping

“…The paper argues that China avoids radically challenging the order’s rules by challenging them in a calibrated way to avoid being regarded as a ‘rule breaker’. In the long run, China desires to amend the order’s rules in its favour while also seeking to reduce the impact of US dominance through achieving technological independence and closer ties with neighbouring states.…”

Quantifying behavior-based gender discrimination on collaborative platforms by Vásárhelyi, O, Vedres, B

“…As platforms employ algorithmic tools and AI systems to manage users’ activity and visibility, and recommend new projects to collaborate, stereotypes associated with behavior can have long-lasting consequences.…”

Breaking the symmetry : gradient in NiFe layered double hydroxide nanoarrays for efficient oxygen evolution by Zhou, Daojin, Jia, Yin, Duan, Xinxuan, Tang, Jialun, Xu, Jie, Liu, Dong, Xiong, Xuya, Zhang, Junming, Luo, Jun, Zheng, Lirong, Liu, Bin, Kuang, Yun, Sun, Xiaoming, Duan, Xue

“…Breaking the symmetry in catalysts through interface engineering has emerged as a new dimension in enhancing the catalytic performances, while the long-range asymmetry (i.e. in nanometer scale) in catalysts can hardly be achieved by alloying or doping. …”

Negative density dependence promotes persistence of a globally rare yet locally abundant plant species Oenothera coloradensis by Stears, AE, Heidel, B, Paniw, M, Salguero-Gómez, R, Laughlin, DC

“…<p>Identifying the mechanisms underlying the persistence of rare species has long been a motivating question for ecologists. Classical theory implies that community dynamics should be driven by common species, and that natural selection should not allow small populations of rare species to persist. …”

Soil-water characteristic curves of hydrophobic sand by Tan, Nicole Shi Qi

“…In this project, the effect of hydrophobicity is investigated using fine and coarse sands. Fine sand was made hydrophobic and mixed with either fine or coarse sand such that sand mixtures of hydrophobicity 20%, 50% and 80% by mass were obtained. …”

Placing objects in context via inpainting for out-of-distribution segmentation by De Jorge, P, Volpi, R, Dokania, PK, Torr, PHS, Rogez, G

“…However, acquiring and labelling semantic segmentation data is expensive and unanticipated conditions are long-tail and potentially hazardous. Indeed, existing anomaly segmentation datasets capture a limited number of anomalies, lack realism or have strong domain shifts. …”
