A Coral Reef Algorithm Based on Learning Automata for the Coverage Control Problem of Heterogeneous Directional Sensor Networks by Li, Ming, Miao, Chunyan, Leung, Cyril

“…To solve this multi-objective problem, we introduce a learning automata-based coral reef algorithm for adaptive parameter selection and use a novel Tchebycheff decomposition method to decompose the multi-objective problem into a single-objective problem. Simulation results show the consistent superiority of the proposed algorithm over alternative approaches.…”

Modulation of spin-orbit torque efficiency by thickness control of heavy metal layers in Co/Pt multilayers by Sethi, Pankaj, Krishnia, Sachin, Li, Sihua, Lew, Wen Siang

“…The proposed Co/Pt thin film double stack gives property enhancement on thermal stability and perpendicular magnetization anisotropy strength over the single stack Pt/Co/Ta. In the proposed Co/Pt double stack we observed that increasing the Ta capping thickness to three times enhances the SHA in similar order, consistent with larger spin injection efficiency. …”

An algebraic MIDO-MISO code construction by Oggier, Frederique, Hollanti, Camilla, Roope, Vehkalahti

“…Finally, we show that a multiple-input single output (MISO) code is actually embedded in the MIDO code, allowing the transmitter to choose betweens ending a MIDO or MISO code, without having to change the encoder. …”

A factorized quaternion approach to determine the arm motions using triaxial accelerometers with anatomical and sensor constraints by Lee, Guo Xiong, Low, Kay-Soon

“…Typical use of the quaternion method determines the angle and axis of rotation represented by a single angle-axis quaternion. Different from the conventional approach, we propose using the factorized quaternion approach for the determination of arm motions. …”

Road surface analysis through machine learning techniques by Singh, Prabhat, Sharma, Shilpi, Kamal, Ahmed E., Kumar, Sunil

“…Road conditions are divided into three categories to achieve this methodology: potholes, deep traverse cracks, and smooth roads.This categorization helped in analyzing the road surface condition through smartphone sensors over all three axes instead of taking it over a single axis. Neural networks helped analyze data or road conditions more accurately than Decision Tree and SVM.…”

ProteoSign: an end-user online differential proteomics statistical analysis platform by Efstathiou, G, Antonakis, AN, Pavlopoulos, GA, Theodosiou, T, Divanach, P, Trudgian, DC, Thomas, B, Papanikolaou, N, Aivaliotis, M, Acuto, O, Iliopoulos, I

“…Bottom-up proteomics, the most common MS-based proteomics approach, has always been challenging in terms of data management, processing, analysis and visualization, with modern instruments capable of producing several gigabytes of data out of a single experiment. Here, we present ProteoSign, a freely available web application, dedicated in allowing users to perform proteomics differential expression/abundance analysis in a user-friendly and self-explanatory way. …”

A complex and severe encephalitis associated with four co-existing neuronal cell-surface autoantibodies by Gilligan, M, O'Donnell, L, Westbrook, A, Tubridy, N, Riordan, SO, McGuigan, C, Connolly, S, Farrell, M, Waters, P, Irani, SR, Kinsella, JA

“…The co-occurrence of four neuronal cell-surface antibodies in a single patient is exceptionally rare. We report a patient who had a severe encephalitis associated with antibodies to NMDA, Glycine, GABAA and GABAB receptors. …”

Immunogenic recombinant Mayaro virus-like particles present natively assembled glycoprotein by Kim, YC, Watanabe, Y, Arlen-Celina, L, Song, X, de Oliveira Souza, R, Stass, R, Azar, SR, Rossi, SL, Claser, C, Kümmerer, BM, Crispin, M, Bowden, TA, Huiskonen, JT, Reyes-Sandoval, A

“…Immunisation of Mayaro virus VLPs in mice with or without an adjuvant (poly:IC) yielded similar levels of neutralising antibodies suggesting that the VLPs may be used for immunisation without the need for an adjuvant. A single or two doses of non-adjuvanted 5 µg of MAYV VLP vaccination provided significant protection against viremia and MAYV-induced foot swelling in the C57BL/6 mouse challenge model. …”

Investigation of a high-pressure turbine stage in a high-speed rotating transient test facility for rotor tip study and a parametric study for improved heat transfer calculation by Singh, D, Beard, PF, Cardwell, D, Chana, KS

“…The first part of the paper presents commissioning of a single-stage high-pressure turbine employed in a series of extensive experiments to study the aerodynamics and heat transfer on the rotor surface and casing liner. …”

Correlated and anticorrelated binocular disparity modulate GABA+ and glutamate/glutamine concentrations in the human visual cortex by Matuszewski, J, Ip, IB, Alvarez, I, Clarke, WT, Parker, AJ, Bridge, H

Reconciling founder variant multiplicity of HIV-1 infection with the rate of CD4+ decline by Baxter, J, Villabona-Arenas, J, Thompson, RN, Hue, S, Regoes, R, Kouyos, R, Gunthard, H, Albert, J, Brown, AL, Atkins, K

“…HIV-1 transmission precipitates a stringent genetic bottleneck, with 75% of new infections initiated by a single genetic variant. Where multiple variants initiate infection, recipient set point viral load (SpVL) and the rate of CD4+ 4 T cell decline may be elevated, but these findings remain inconsistent. …”

Enhancing exemplar SVMs using part level transfer regularization by Aytar, Y, Zisserman, A
