Studies of insulin transport across intestinal epithelium using nano-encapsulation for oral delivery by Zhang, Yiming

“…An oral route not only minimizes the patient compliance issue by eliminating the use of invasive needles, more importantly, it offers hepatic glucose regulation as the orally administered insulin would potentially be carried by hepatic portal vein to reach the liver, where glucose homeostasis take place. …”

Using machine learning to discover candidate localised transcripts from microscopy and genome-wide bioinformatics data by Kiourlappou, M

“…<p>Messenger RNA (mRNA) localisation is an important layer of post-transcriptional regulation. In polarised cells such as glia, mRNA localisation is especially significant as glial cells are long with protrusions that can be far away from the cell body, where mRNA is produced. …”

Crowdsourcing as Reflective Political Practice: Building a Location-based Tool for Civic Learning and Engagement by Graeff, Erhardt

“…Online forums function similarly, in that deliberation occurs within profile-based websites for which you need to sign up and regularly return. This paper responds to the design challenge and research question: How do you address barriers to “minimum effective engagement” in community projects, and ensure that all citizens can have their voice heard on how to improve their local communities? …”

Poggers in the chat : an analysis of in-group communication on Twitch by Tay, Debbie Si Ting

“…In addition to being a popular video streaming site, users of Twitch have formed their own in-group communication model exclusive to those who are regulars of the site. An integral aspect of this model is Twitch emotes, expressions of various reactions that have been so effective and popular that usage of this niche lexicon has gone past chatspeak and found its way into verbal speech. …”

Evolution PDEs on graphs and inverse problems in aggregation-diffusion equations by Mikolás, L

“…We use the PDE's numerical solutions as data and propose a quadratic error functional enhanced with sparsity promoting regularization to solve the learning problem. We obtain stability estimates showing that this error functional controls the 2-Wasserstein distance between solutions generated by the true and learned interaction potential and show the effectiveness of our approach with numerical examples in one and two dimensions.…”

Husband's knowledge and perception on iron consumption compliance among pregnant women in Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia by Saidon, Norelysya Nabila

“…In conclusion, this study may contribute to enhancing the husband's role in encouraging pregnant women to take iron supplements regularly. However, further research should involve a larger sample of pregnant women's husbands from various hospitals across different districts to provide more accurate and representative findings.…”

HLO : half-kernel laplacian operator for surface smoothing by Pan, Wei, Lu, Xuequan, Gong, Yuanhao, Tang, Wenming, Liu, Jun, He, Ying, Qiu, Guoping

“…The half window with least regularization energy is then chosen for v. We develop an iterative approach to apply HLO for surface denoising. …”

Quantile regression for survival data with covariates subject to detection limits by Yu, Tonghui, Xiang, Liming, Wang, Huixia Judy

“…To estimate the quantile process of regression coefficients, we develop a novel multiple imputation approach based on another quantile regression for covariates under DL, avoiding stringent parametric restrictions on censored covariates as often assumed in the literature. Under regularity conditions, we show that the estimation procedure yields uniformly consistent and asymptotically normal estimators. …”

Tackling background ambiguities in multi-class few-shot point cloud semantic segmentation by Lai, Lvlong, Chen, Jian, Zhang, Chi, Zhang, Zehong, Lin, Guosheng, Wu, Qingyao

“…In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective approach to tackle background ambiguities, which adopts the entropy of predictions on query samples to the training objective function as an additional regularization. Besides, we design a feature transformation operation to reduce the feature differences between support and query samples. …”

Region embedding with intra and inter-view contrastive learning by Zhang, Liang, Long, Cheng, Cong, Gao

“…We design the intra-view contrastive learning module which helps to learn distinguished region embeddings and the inter-view contrastive learning module which serves as a soft co-regularizer to constrain the embedding parameters and transfer knowledge across multi-views. …”

Sparse low-rank matrix approximation for data compression by Hou, Junhui, Chau, Lap-Pui, Magnenat-Thalmann, Nadia, He, Ying

“…Technically, we formulate SLRMA as a constrained optimization problem, i.e., minimizing the approximation error in the least-squares sense regularized by the 0-norm and orthogonality, and solve it using the inexact augmented Lagrangian multiplier method. …”

Improved bacterial foraging optimization algorithm with machine learning-driven short-term electricity load forecasting: a case study in peninsular Malaysia by Zaini, Farah Anishah, Sulaima, Mohamad Fani, Wan Abdul Razak, Intan Azmira, Othman, Mohammad Lutfi, Mokhlis, Hazlie

“…However, the less optimal regularization parameter and the Gaussian kernel function in the LSSVM model have contributed to flawed forecasting accuracy and random generalization ability. …”

The algebraic K-theory of the chromatic filtration and the telescope conjecture by Levy, Ishan

“…More specifically, in joint work with Burklund, we prove a general devissage result which in particular identifies the algebraic K-theory of certain coconnective ring spectra satisfying suitable regularity and flatness hypotheses with the K-theory of their pi₀. …”

Plasmonic effect on visible light driven photoelectrochemical activity of semiconductor by Zhang, Huanchao

“…Gold nanoparticles heat-treated at 600°C for 1 hour were tested to achieve the highest regularity in morphology. In addition, absorption spectra for one to five-layer structures were measured, demonstrating that five-layer TiO2/Au composite increased the absorption capability of TiO2 over visible spectrum the most. …”
