Naturalistic multimodal emotion data with deep learning can advance the theoretical understanding of emotion by Angkasirisan, T

“…This enduring fragmentation likely stems from the limitations of traditional research methods, which often adopt narrow methodological approaches. …”

Highlighting the role of biota in feedback loops from tundra ecosystems to the atmosphere by Schmidt, NM, Barrio, IC, Kristensen, JA, López-Blanco, E, van Beest, FM

“…However, biota may still play important roles in modulating ecosystem feedback loops, and by including these dynamics into ecosystem models, magnitude, accuracy and credibility of model projections are likely to improve.…”

Between personalized and racialized precision medicine : a relative resources perspective by Sun, Shirley

“…The author elaborates on the ‘heterogeneity of resources’ and suggests that the extent to which precision medicine will be personalized or racialized/ethnicized in the clinic will most likely be a function of the relative availability of resources – including but not limited to financial, human and computer informatics, and legal and infrastructural resources – at individual and collective levels in healthcare contexts.…”

Why East Asian war is unlikely by Bitzinger, Richard A., Desker, Barry

“…In particular, the emergence of a more assertive China does not mean a more aggressive China or that war in Asia is more likely. While Beijing may be increasingly pushing its own agenda in regional international affairs, and while it may seek to displace the United States as the regional hegemon, this does not automatically translate into an expansionist China. …”

Enhanced monsoon-driven upwelling in Southeast Asia during the Little Ice Age by Chen, Mengli, Martin, Patrick, Ren, Haojia, Zhang, Run, Samanta, Dhrubajyoti, Chen, Yi-Chi, Hughen, Konrad A., Phan, Kim Hoang, Vo, Si Tuan, Goodkin, Nathalie Fairbank

“…Climate change impacts ocean nutrient availability and will likely alter the marine food web. While climate models predict decreased average ocean productivity, the extent of these changes, especially in the marginal seas upon which large human populations depend, is not well understood. …”

Think Twice Before Going for Incentives: Social Norms and the Principal's Decision on Compensation Contracts by Cardinaels, Eddy, Yin, Huaxiang

“…When principals use incentives, their choices not only incentivize truthful reporting and signal distrust, but they also leak important information about the social norm, namely, that other agents are likely to report dishonestly. Agents conform to this social norm by misrepresenting cost information more. …”

Entropic centrality for non-atomic flow networks by Oggier, Frédérique, Phetsouvanh, Silivanxay, Datta, Anwitaman

“…Given a graph, the notion of entropic centrality was introduced by Tutzauer to characterize vertices which are important in the sense that there is a high uncertainty about the destination of an atomic flow starting at them, assuming that at each hop, the flow is equally likely to continue to any unvisited vertex, or to be terminated there. …”

Southeast Asian maritime security in the age of terror : threats, opportunity, and charting the course forward by Bradford, John

“…The potential application of those factors is assessed to anticipate the most likely forms of future regional cooperation. While cooperation will expand on many levels, the most fruitful cooperation will result from improved networks of bilateral relationships. …”

News sharing in social media : the effect of gratifications and prior experience by Lee, Chei Sian, Ma, Long

“…Results from structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis revealed that respondents who were driven by gratifications of information seeking, socializing, and status seeking were more likely to share news in social media platforms. Prior experience with social media was also a significant determinant of news sharing intention. …”

Evaluation of the quality of online information about perinatal depression in China by Li, Miaomiao, Wan Abas, Wan Anita, Ma’rof, Aini Azeqa, Wang, Peng, Wang, Xiaoyan

“…There was a significant negative correlation between search engine rankings and the quality of information on perinatal depression, suggesting that higher quality content is less likely to be searched for and may hinder access to reliable information. …”

Exploring the trait plasticity of ipa1-2d and qpl6 under different nitrogen treatments and heading periods by Zhuang, Wenshu, Jin, Guangyang, Zou, Yiting, Bian, Zhong, Xie, Dong, Zhang, Shuwei, Yeilaghi, Hadi, Yu, Liangliang, Wong, Muiyun, Fan, Xiaolei, Zhao, Dongsheng, Liu, Qiaoquan, Zhang, Lin

“…QTL analysis could elaborate on the environmental impact on trait plasticity using nearly isogenic lines (NILs) of different QTLs. Two QTLs, ipa1-2D and qPL6 are identified to have pleio-tropic contributions to panicle size and plant architecture, but their responses to different growth conditions are still unclear. …”

Performance-based identity in a BIM environment : An architect’s perceptions and experiences by Syafizal, Shahruddin, Mohd, Zairul, Ahmad Tarmizi, Haron, Meor Mohammad, Fared

“…Consequently, architects' failing to adapt their core identity to the varying circumstances may lead to their irrelevance and being side-lined merely as aesthetic building surgeons. The current study therefore seeks a better understanding of their perceptions and experiences in manifesting their identities in the phenomenon. …”

Tablets, Pens, and Pencils: The Influence of Tools on Sketching in Early Stage Design by Das, Madhurima, Huang, May, Yang, Maria C

“…We hypothesize that participants using tablet and pencil will produce fewer drawings than those using pen due to their ability to erase and focus on perfecting drawings, and we expect participants using the tablet to produce cleaner drawings with smoother strokes due to the tablet’s ability to auto-smooth lines. Based on prior literature, we posit that women and gender minorities will produce fewer sketches and use the feathering style of sketching more than men.…”

Regulation of microRNA degradation in Caenorhabditis elegans via the E3 ubiquitin ligase EBAX-1 by Stubna, Michael William

“…TDMD underlies the instability of many miRNAs in diverse cell lines and animals. In this work, I probe the biological scope of TDMD as a regulatory mechanism in the nematode Caenorhabiditis elegans, which tolerates homozygous loss of the ZSWIM8 ortholog, EBAX-1, and expresses some miRNAs that are subject to rapid, developmentally regulated decay. …”
