Collectors and collecting for the Raffles Museum in Singapore : 1920 to 1940 by Luyt, Brendan

“…The study of museums as part of society has been underway for some time now and a number of pioneering and insightful works have been written on their changing nature and role [1]. I would like in this article to add to this body of literature through the example of one museum director’s efforts at expanding the collection of his institution (the Raffles Museum in Singapore) in the 1920s and 1930s. …”

Supervised pseudo self-evolving cerebellar algorithm for generating fuzzy membership functions by Ang, K. K., Quek, Chai

“…SPSEC first constructs a cerebellar-like structure in which neurons with high trophic factors evolves to form membership functions that relate intimately to the probability distributions of the data and concomitantly reconcile with defined semantic properties of linguistic variables. …”

Estimation for the single-index models with random effects by Pang, Zhen., Xue, Liugen.

“…The variance components also cannot be treated as nuisance parameters and are canceled in the estimation procedure like Wang et al. (2010). A new set of estimating equations modified for the boundary effects is proposed to estimate the index coefficients. …”

A techno-economic analysis of communication in low-voltage islanded microgrids by Neal, DC, Rogers, DJ, McCulloch, M

“…Low-voltage islanded microgrids are an attractive solution for remote electrification due to their flexible and autonomous nature. Like all power systems, high capital costs must be amortised through customer subscriptions. …”

The α-globin super-enhancer acts in an orientation-dependent manner by Kassouf, MT, Francis, HS, Gosden, M, Suciu, MC, Downes, DJ, Harrold, C, Larke, M, Oudelaar, M, Cornell, L, Blayney, J, Telenius, J, Xella, B, Shen, Y, Sousos, N, Sharpe, JA, Sloane-Stanley, J, Smith, AJH, Babbs, C, Hughes, JR, Higgs, DR

“…Within mammalian genomes, enhancer-like elements may be found individually or within clusters referred to as locus control regions or super-enhancers (SEs). …”

Universal in-context approximation by prompting fully recurrent models by Petrov, A, Lamb, TA, Paren, A, Torr, PHS, Bibi, A

“…Hence, these findings do not apply to fully recurrent architectures like RNNs, LSTMs, and the increasingly popular SSMs. …”

A regulatory SNP causes a human genetic disease by creating a new transcriptional promoter by De Gobbi, M, Viprakasit, V, Hughes, JR, Fisher, C, Buckle, V, Ayyub, H, Gibbons, RJ, Vernimmen, D, Yoshinaga, Y, de Jong, P, Cheng, J-F, Rubin, EM, Wood, Wg, Bowden, D, Higgs, DR

“…The rSNP creates a new promoterlike element that interferes with normal activation of all downstream α-like globin genes. Thus, our work illustrates a strategy for distinguishing between neutral and functionally important rSNPs, and it also identifies a pathogenetic mechanism that could potentially underlie other genetic diseases.…”

Specialized replication mechanisms maintain genome stability at human centromeres by Scelfo, A, Angrisani, A, Grillo, M, Barnes, BM, Muyas, F, Sauer, CM, Leung, CWB, Dumont, M, Grison, M, Mazaud, D, Garnier, M, Guintini, L, Nelson, L, Esashi, F, Cortés-Ciriano, I, Taylor, SS, Déjardin, J, Wilhelm, T, Fachinetti, D

“…Prolonged stress causes centromeric alterations like ruptures and translocations, as observed in ovarian cancer models experiencing replication stress. …”

A survey of few-shot learning for biomedical time series by Li, C, Denison, T, Zhu, T

“…An emerging approach to overcome the scarcity of labeled data is to augment AI methods with human-like capabilities to leverage past experiences to learn new tasks with limited examples, called few-shot learning. …”

Strike a pose: tracking people by finding stylized poses by Ramanan, D, Forsyth, DA, Zisserman, A

“…Our basic assumption is that people tend to take on certain canonical poses, even when performing unusual activities like throwing a baseball or figure skating. We build a person detector that quite accurately detects and localizes limbs of people in lateral walking poses. …”

Lost in quantization: improving particular object retrieval in large scale image databases by Philbin, J, Chum, O, Isard, M, Sivic, J, Zisserman, A

“…Our results exceed the current state of the art retrieval performance on these datasets, particularly on queries with poor initial recall where techniques like query expansion suffer. Overall we show that soft-assignment is always beneficial for retrieval with large vocabularies, at a cost of increased storage requirements for the index.…”

Ant, spider and DNA: letting mindless generative mechanisms speak by Bråten, E

“…ANT and SPIDER share a blindness with respect to invisible beings like itself, DNA argues. Their privileging of spatiotemporal immediacy entails a one-dimensional (flat) ontology that tends to push mindless generative mechanisms out of view. …”

Baturaja inscription: a threats to Miańga by Andhifani, Wahyu Rizky, Tedjowasono, Ninny Susanti

“…This inscription, if seen from its paleographic form, most likely originates from around the VII century, like the early inscriptions of the Sriwijaya Kingdom, namely: the Kedukan Bukit inscription, the Talang Tuwo inscription, the Telaga Batu inscription, the Kota Kapur inscription, the Karang Brahi inscription, the Palas Pasemah inscription, and some the short Siddhayatra inscription. …”
