Social gating of statistical learning in infants through interpersonal neural synchrony by Teo, Kai Xin

“…However, it is not known whether interpersonal neural synchronization will influence statistical language learning, an innate mechanism that facilitates infants’ learning through the detection of regularities and patterns in sensory information. Thus, this study examined the effects of eye-contact (full, partial, or none) on neural synchrony and whether neural synchrony will affect infants’ statistical language learning. …”

Seek Singapore : stop the eye epidemic in kids by Ong, Evonne Hui Hoon, Lim, Jermaine Zhen Min, Conceicao, Joshua Francis, Tang, Suzanna Farid Shu Ling

“…Targeted at parents with children below the age of seven, “Seek Singapore” aimed to reduce the incidence of childhood myopia at an early age by educating parents of the risks and long-term consequences of childhood myopia and hence informing and empowering parents to bring their children outdoors regularly to fight childhood myopia. This paper first summarises the primary and secondary research which helped shape the campaign. …”

Variational mesh decomposition by Zhang, Juyong, Zheng, Jianmin, Wu, Chunlin, Cai, Jianfei

“…The algorithm extends the Mumford-Shah model to 3D meshes that contains a data term measuring the variation within a segment using eigenvectors of a dual Laplacian matrix whose weights are related to the dihedral angle between adjacent triangles and a regularization term measuring the length of the boundary between segments. …”

Phase-Field Computational Framework for Addressing Challenges in Solid-State Batteries by Schwietert, Tammo K, Ombrini, Pierfrancesco, Ootes, Laura S, Oostrum, Leon, Azizi, Victor, Cogswell, Daniel, Zhu, Juner, Bazant, Martin Z, Wagemaker, Marnix, Vasileiadis, Alexandros

“…The model is based on multiphase porous electrode theory, where Li-ion diffusion in solid electrolytes and electrode materials is integrated through a regular solution free energy functional. Modules for contact loss and diffusive interlayers, able to capture solid-solid and solid-liquid interfaces such as solid-electrolyte interphase formation and coatings, are also implemented, providing numerous modeling options for a comprehensive understanding of electrochemical systems. …”
