Sowing the seeds : towards reaping a harvest using social web applications in Nanyang Technological University Library by Nurhazman Abdul Aziz, Chia, Yew Boon, Loh, Hazel

“…In this paper, we share why and how Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Library has explored and implemented Web 2.0 technologies extensively to reach out to our users using a range of social web tools such as blogs, share this widget, library toolbar and RSS feeds as well as online services like Facebook, Flickr, and Google Analytics. These digital library innovations have enabled us to meet the needs of our users more effectively and resulted in a tremendous growth in online visitorship.…”

Non-bifurcation regulation of chaos in a Memristive Hopfield neural network by Zhang, X, Li, C, Moroz, I, Huang, K, Liu, Z

“…<p>The construction of neural networks using memristors has been widely studied in the field of brain-like computing. However, there is a relative lack of research on the non-bifurcation regulation of chaos in memristive neural networks. …”

Zn2+-mediated catalysis for fast-charging aqueous Zn-ion batteries by Dai, Y, Lu, R, Zhang, C, Li, J, Yuan, Y, Mao, Y, Ye, C, Cai, Z, Zhu, J, Li, J, Yu, R, Cui, L, Zhao, S, An, Q, He, G, Waterhouse, GIN, Shearing, PR, Ren, Y, Lu, J, Amine, K, Wang, Z, Mai, L

“…Historically, ion-shuttling models centring on ion-migration behaviour have dominated explanations for charge/discharge processes in aqueous batteries, like classical ion insertion/extraction and pseudocapacitance mechanisms. …”

Perturbed hematopoiesis in the Tc1 mouse model of Down syndrome by Alford, KA, Slender, A, Vanes, L, Li, Z, Fisher, EMC, Nizetic, D, Orkin, SH, Roberts, I, Tybulewicz, VLJ

“…Introduction of GATA1s into Tc1 mice resulted in a synergistic increase in megakaryopoiesis, but did not result in leukemia or a TMD-like phenotype, demonstrating that GATA1s and trisomy of approximately 80% of Hsa21 perturb megakaryopoiesis but are insufficient to induce leukemia.…”

Amphibious ethics and speculative immersions: laboratory aquariums as a site for developing a more inclusive animal geography by Greenhough, B, Roe, E, Message, R

“…Intuitively these modes of relating seem best suited to interactions between humans and warm-blooded mammals who share human-like facial features and characteristics. Animal geographers and those working in animal welfare have noted the challenges that humans face in learning to care about fishes, and how this leads to welfare guidelines and regulations which are poorly suited to aquatic species. …”

AI can outperform humans in predicting correlations between personality items by Schoenegger, P, Greenberg, S, Grishin, A, Lewis, J, Caviola, L

“…These results suggest that while advanced LLMs make superior predictions compared to most individual humans, specialized models like PersonalityMap can match even expert group-level performance in domain-specific tasks. …”

Splatter image: ultra-fast single-view 3D reconstruction by Szymanowicz, S, Rupprecht, C, Vedaldi, A

“…Owning to the speed of the renderer (588 FPS), we use a single GPU for training while generating entire images at each iteration to optimize perceptual metrics like LPIPS. On several synthetic, real, multi-category and large-scale benchmark datasets, we achieve better results in terms of PSNR, LPIPS, and other metrics while training and evaluating much faster than prior works. …”

Automation acceptance for sustainable digital daily life by Vrain, E, Wilson, C

“…While various daily life activities have seamlessly integrated automation, such as bill payments and streaming recommended entertainment, those with substantial energy impacts, like home energy management, face challenges in gaining end-user acceptance. …”

Discovering objects and their location in images by Sivic, J, Russell, BC, Efros, AA, Zisserman, A, Freeman, WT

“…The model is applied to images by using a visual analogue of a word, formed by vector quantizing SIFT-like region descriptors. The topic discovery approach successfully translates to the visual domain: for a small set of objects, we show that both the object categories and their approximate spatial layout are found without supervision. …”

Exploring China’s cyber sovereignty concept and artificial intelligence governance model: a machine learning approach by Hung, HT

“…Dissatisfied with the status quo, some developing countries like China embrace another governance concept called cyber sovereignty, which advocates more state control. …”

A Brief History of Blockchain Interoperability by Belchior, Rafael, S??enguth, Jan, Feng, Qi, Hardjono, Thomas, Vasconcelos, Andr?, Correia, Miguel

“…These recent developments have, slowly but steadily, contributed to the improvement of the scalability of blockchain networks, as well as providing new functionality and use cases [36], but there is still a long way to go until mass adoption. In this paper, we will dive into the rabbit hole of blockchain interoperability and explain why it is needed, what has work been done in the last decade (the past), how it is currently deployed and used in practice (the present), and likely paths of development (the future).…”
