Characterizing Cortex-Hippocampus Interactions During Language Processing by Lee, Jiachen Elizabeth

“…In patients with hippocampal damage, language is left largely intact [Vargha-Khadem et al., 1997], suggesting that the hippocampus is likely not necessary for language processing. Recent evidence, however, has shown that the hippocampus may serve functions outside its traditional roles in episodic memory and spatial navigation, and may generally aid in the encoding of relationships across time and space [Cohen and Eichenbaum, 1993]. …”

Overturning of No-Tension Towers by Moir, Katherine

“…A comparison of the predictions for each of the two tower geometries shows that the predicted critical angles of overturning are very close, while the cylinder is likely to begin cracking at lower inclinations compared to rectangular towers. …”

Standalone immersion cooling for high performance servers by Liang, Wayne

“…Based on past recommendations, the author uses PTFE tape to effectively delay the evaporation of the coolant in the tank which likely affected the CPU temperature obtained. Additionally, a submersible pump is introduced to assess the hypothesis that forced convection is more efficient than natural convection. …”

Empowering communication for mute individuals through AI-assisted conversations by Au, Roydon Yew Rong

“…Lastly, to enhance greater flexibility for the mute user, they are also able to edit the generated responses directly and provide feedback to the ai model through liking or disliking certain responses. Since this project was built from scratch, this report highlights all features implemented, experiments attempted, areas of improvements and next steps. …”

To avoid or to engage : testing the spiral of silence theory using hypothetical and experimental settings by Cha, Ee Ling, Kwok, Kristle Zhen Hui, Lee, Jamie Jing Ting, Sim, Madeleine Kai Lin

“…Findings suggest that the lack of visual and status cues, rather than perceived anonymity, were more likely to elicit opinion expression. Future research should consider coming to a consensus on the measurement of silence on online platforms.…”

Effects of automation transparency on trust and diagnostic decision making with an automated decision aid during medical emergencies by Mohamed Syahid Hassan

“…Novice doctors in a simulated emergency diagnosis task used automated decision aids with different transparency configurations, manipulated by the presence of two transparency features, a list of Key Diagnostic Cues that explain its recommendation and a Likelihood Rating that displays how likely the aid thinks its recommendation is correct. …”

Characterizing the spectrum of slip behavior at the Sumatran subduction zone with long-term geodetic records by Tsang, Louisa Lok Hang

“…I examine a range of oceanographic and tectonic processes that can potentially explain these observations, and find that the most likely explanation is a 15-year-long slow slip event on the Banyak Islands section of the Sunda megathrust. …”

Edge color constrained influence maximization in social networks by Chandra, Bhavya

“…However, simply selecting the most influential people does not maximize the spread as the content of a post dictates how likely a user will ‘share’ it. Thus, we show that it is not only imperative to select the top-k seed nodes but also the top-r most relevant topics in the network. …”

Cadmium isotope fractionation during adsorption onto calcite by Peng, H, Liu, P, Zheng, H, Belshaw, NS, Hu, S, Zhu, Z

“…However, near identical coordination environments of the aqueous and sorbed Cd species in the presence of PO43− likely led to the reduced Cd isotope fractionation. …”

Metacognition facilitates Theory of Mind through optimal weighting of trait inferences by Long, EL, Catmur, C, Fleming, S, Bird, G

“…This effect was greater in magnitude with lower metacognitive sensitivity, i.e., when confidence is more likely to be misplaced. Furthermore, participants’ trait inference ability was associated with the accuracy of their understanding of the average mind. …”
