Structural behaviour of 2D post-tensioned precast beam-column sub-assemblages subjected to column loss scenario by Tran, Manh Ha, Tan, Kang Hai

“…The test results indicated that both unbonded and bonded parabolic-shaped PT significantly enhanced compressive arch action (CAA) and catenary action (CA) beyond basic flexural capacity, and also changed the plastic hinge mechanism in the precast beams. The specimen with unbonded PT could provide greater residual capacity than bonded PT, but the former was severely damaged by fracture of normal reinforcement and crushing of concrete rather than fracture of the tendon. …”

Cross-Modal Deep Variational Hashing by Liong, Venice Erin, Lu, Jiwen, Zhou, Jie, Tan, Yap Peng

“…Unlike most existing cross-modal hashing methods which learn a single pair of projections to map each example into a binary vector, we design a deep fusion neural network to learn non-linear transformations from image-text input pairs, such that a unified binary code is achieved in a discrete and discriminative manner using a classification-based hinge-loss criterion. We then design modality-specific neural networks in a probabilistic manner such that we model a latent variable to be close as possible from the inferred binary codes, at the same time approximated by a posterior distribution regularized by a known prior, which is suitable for out-of-sample extension. …”

Dynamical and statistical properties of anyons in fractional quantum hall effect by Ha, Quang Trung

“…Another important aspect of anyons is their intrinsic spin and the corresponding spin-statistics relation, which must account for the fact that FQH anyons are not point particles, but objects with finite sizes and intricate internal structures. …”

Evolutionary origin of the chordate nervous system revealed by amphioxus developmental trajectories by Dai, Y, Zhong, Y, Liu, H, Pan, R, Yuan, L, Du, J, Li, M, Wang, X, Shi, C, Liu, G, Zhu, P, Shimeld, S, Zhou, X, Li, G

“…Our results show three developmental origins for the vertebrate nervous system: an anterior FoxQ2-dependent mechanism that is deeply conserved in invertebrates, a less-conserved route leading to more posterior neurons in the vertebrate spinal cord and a mechanism for specifying neuromesoderm progenitors that is restricted to chordates. …”

Ambipolar ferromagnetism by electrostatic doping of a manganite by Zheng, L. M., Lü, W. M., Li, C. J., Paudel, T. R., Liu, Z. Q., Huang, Z., Zeng, S. W., Han, Kun, Qiu, X. P., Li, M. S., Yang, Shize, Wang, Xiao Renshaw, Chen, Z. H, Yang, B., Chisholm, Matthew F., Martin, L. W., Pennycook, S. J., Tsymbal, E. Y., Coey, J. M. D., Cao, W. W.

“…Complex-oxide materials exhibit physical properties that involve the interplay of charge and spin degrees of freedom. However, an ambipolar oxide that is able to exhibit both electron-doped and hole-doped ferromagnetism in the same material has proved elusive. …”
