Prejudice against foreign students in university : does priming articles reduce implicit prejudice? by Sor, Hong Yuen.

“…Study 1 of the present research investigates whether Singaporean students display a greater degree of prejudice against foreign students from China, compared to foreign students from other nationalities. It also aims to find out whether psychological and social factors, such as perceptions of realistic threats, symbolic threats and the need of dependence as well as the social interactions contribute to the prejudice. …”

Long-term multi-resource fairness for pay-as-you use computing systems by Tang, Shanjiang, Niu, Zhaojie, He, Bingsheng, Lee, Bu-Sung, Yu, Ce

“…In view of the heterogeneous resource demands of users' workloads, multi-resource allocation fairness is a must for resource sharing in such pay-as-you-use computing systems. However, we find that, existing multi-resource fair policies such as Dominant Resource Fairness (DRF), implemented in currently popular resource management systems such as Apache YARN [4] and Mesos [23] , are not suitable for the pay-as-you-use computing systems. …”

Coherently tunable triangular trefoil phaseonium metamaterial by Soci, Cesare, Nguyen, Duc Minh, Ooi, Raymond C. H.

“…For specific values of the probing frequencies and control fields, the phaseonium can display either metallic or dielectric optical response. We find that, in the metallic regime, the phaseonium metamaterial structure supports extremely large transmission, with optical amplification at large enough intensity of the microwave thanks to strong surface plasmon coupling; while, in the dielectric regime without microwave excitation, the transmission bandwidth can be tuned by varying the control beam intensity. …”
