Learning to generalize to new tasks/domains with limited data by Peng, Danni

“…The goal of Artificial Intelligence (AI) research is to develop a system that not only performs tasks comparably to humans (e.g., understanding language and vision) but also learns new tasks similarly to humans. While the former has been well-achieved with the recent advances of large AI models, the latter still remains a challenge for AI researchers. …”

Aqueous-only exfoliation of pristine graphite to graphene : towards sustainable, multifunctional polymer nanocomposites by Seyed Ismail Seyed Shahabadi

“…Water is the most desirable medium for LPE but graphene needs stabilization with surfactants or stabilizers because of the huge mismatch between the surface energies of water and graphene. There have been a myriad of synthetic surfactants and stabilizers studied for this purpose, but natural surfactants have seen less attention. …”

Investigating the role of astrocytes in Parkinson's disease pathogenesis in GBA- N370S iPSC-derived neural cultures by Ibarra Aizpurua, N

“…However, the research available indicates that other cells found in the midbrain, such as astrocytes, are also involved in the disease pathogenesis, although their role has not been fully elucidated yet. Moreover, it is still to be determined whether the neuroinflammation found in PD patients has a causative effect in disease onset or is in turn a consequence of neurodegeneration. …”

Landless in God’s own country: development and perpetual struggles in Kerala by Ramapurath Chemmencheri, S

“…Illustrating seven different sectors from which livelihood expulsions are underway in the lives of landless Adivasis in Kerala, the thesis argues that their position in the local growth trajectory can be understood as an “in-between” one, wherein their wage labour is becoming less and less relevant to the local growth path, although they remain embedded in capitalist relations. Meanwhile, they have been dissuaded from turning into labourers in constant migration by virtue of welfare provisions and political mobilisation. …”
