Neural and psychological correlates of stuttering by Demirel, B

“…While this protocol did not significantly impact speech adaptation in the learning phase, exploratory analysis suggested potential benefits in retaining the learned state during the after-effect phase. The final study introduced a creative use of choral speech (speaking in unison with another voice) to eliminate stuttering during presentations. …”

Investigating the effects of inflammation on emotional processing by Cooper, C

“…Negative biases were not evident, however, in patients with RA. The final study found that neuropsychological effects of the atypical antidepressant tianeptine were similar to effects following IFN-α, which may be of interest considering tianeptine's purported serotonergic re-uptake enhancing properties and the effects of cytokines on serotonin metabolism. …”

Recent advances of the ultimate microbial influenced corrosion (MIC): A review by Albarqouni, Yasin M.Y., Ali, Gomaa A. M., Chong, Kwok Feng, Nurul Huda, Abu Bakar, Althubaiti, Randa, Arman, Abdullah

Efficient Segment Anything on the Edge by Stiles, Nicole

“…GazeSAM uses face and gaze detection to determine the direction of a user's gaze, object detection to find candidate objects of interest, depth estimation to perform background detection, and image segmentation to generate masks. The final output is a mask segmenting the object at the focus of the user's gaze. …”

Global optimization: a machine learning approach by Bertsimas, Dimitris, Margaritis, Georgios

“…We provide extensions to this approach, by (i) approximating the original problem using other MIO-representable ML models besides decision trees, such as gradient boosted trees, multi layer perceptrons and suport vector machines (ii) proposing adaptive sampling procedures for more accurate ML-based constraint approximations, (iii) utilizing robust optimization to account for the uncertainty of the sample-dependent training of the ML models, (iv) leveraging a family of relaxations to address the infeasibilities of the final MIO approximation. We then test the enhanced framework in 81 global optimization instances. …”

Real-time estimation of bound water concentration during lyophilization with temperature-based state observers by Srisuma, Prakitr, Barbastathis, George, Braatz, Richard D

“…Lyophilization (aka freeze drying) has been shown to provide long-term stability for many crucial biotherapeutics, e.g., mRNA vaccines for COVID-19, allowing for higher storage temperature. The final stage of lyophilization, namely secondary drying, entails bound water removal via desorption, in which accurate prediction of bound water concentration is vital to ensuring the quality of the lyophilized product. …”

Towards best practice of interpreting deep learning models for EEG-based brain computer interfaces by Cui, Jian, Yuan, Liqiang, Wang, Zhaoxiang, Li, Ruilin, Jiang, Tianzi

“…This is commonly done by generating a heatmap indicating to which extent each pixel of the input contributes to the final classification for a trained model. Despite the wide use, it is not yet understood to which extent the obtained interpretation results can be trusted and how accurate they can reflect the model decisions.…”
