Correlation-based estimation of cutting force coefficients for ball-end milling by Dhupia, Jaspreet Singh, Girsang, Irving P.

“…This method can be applied on measured cutting force data over any small interval of time that need not contain information of the time instant when the cutting tool enters the workpiece, which has been the main requirement in the conventional method. …”

Performance analysis of orthogonal space-time block code with minimum-selection generalized selection combining receiver over rayleigh fading by Tan, Beng Soon, Li, Kwok Hung, Teh, Kah Chan

“…In addition, it was shown that the OSTBC/MS-GSC can achieve similar performance, compared with the OSTBC/GSC with reduced processing when the predetermined threshold is optimized. In the analysis of this OSTBC/MS-GSC system over a Rayleigh-fading channel, the moment-generating function is presented, where it can be conveniently used to numerically compute the symbol error rate (SER). …”

Solution-processed CuZn1−xAlxS2 : a new memory material with tuneable electrical bistability by Jinesh, K. B., Batabyal, Sudip Kumar, Chandra, R. Devi, Huang, Yizhong

“…The electrical memory effect in this material is observed only when both Zn and Al are present in the film, indicating that migration of interstitial Al towards the anode may be the origin of this memory effect.…”

Polyvinyl alcohol coated photonic crystal optical fiber sensor for humidity measurement by Wong, Wei Chang, Chan, Chi Chiu, Chen, Li Han, Li, Tao, Lee, Kok Xian, Leong, Kam Chew

“…PVA was dip coated onto the sensor and the interference shift was measured when the sensor was exposed to varying RH. The sensor with 9% (w/w) coating showed a high sensitivity of 0.60 nm/%RH, displayed little hysteresis, high repeatability, low cross-sensitivity to temperature and ammonia gas and stability over 7 days of testing. …”

Cluster based power efficient cooperative spectrum sensing under reduced bandwidth using location information by Smitha, Kavallur Gopi, Vinod, Achutavarrier Prasad

“…This is solved by applying cooperative detection. However, when the number of SUs is large, the bandwidth for reporting their sensing results to the common receiver will be very huge. …”

Role of initially formed cake layers on limiting membrane fouling in membrane bioreactors by Wu, Bing, Kitade, Tamotsu, Chong, Tzyy Haur, Uemura, Tadahiro, Fane, Anthony Gordon

“…In this study, an interesting phenomenon was observed that when the levels of soluble polysaccharides (SP) and soluble transparent exopolymer particles (sTEP) in the MBR unexpectedly and suddenly increased, the cleaned membranes tended to be more easily fouled compared to the membranes with the initial cake layers formed in a slow TMP increase stage. …”

Modelling futility in the setting of fertility treatment by Polyakov, A, Gyngel, C, Savulescu, J

“…When is a fertility treatment futile? This question has great practical importance, given the role futility plays in ethical, legal and clinical discussions. …”

Intraindividual dynamics of primary school students’ executive functioning: accuracy and response-time by Malmberg, L-E, Lo, H, Heemskerk, C, Esser, P, Dawes, H, Claudia, R

“…State-accuracy-on-response-time-slopes showed that children with a relatively lower trait-accuracy performed more accurately when they slowed down. In contrast, children with a relatively higher trait-accuracy performed at the same level of accuracy regardless whether they accelerated or decelerated. …”

Cats and dogs by Parkhi, OM, Vedaldi, A, Zisserman, A, lawahar, CV

“…These models are very good: they beat all previously published results on the challenging ASIRRA test (cat vs dog discrimination). When applied to the task of discriminating the 37 different breeds of pets, the models obtain an average accuracy of about 59%, a very encouraging result considering the difficulty of the problem.…”

Non-bifurcation regulation of chaos in a Memristive Hopfield neural network by Zhang, X, Li, C, Moroz, I, Huang, K, Liu, Z

“…Numerical simulations show that the amplitude of partial neuron can be regulated by the memristor coupling parameters, and the internal parameters of the memristor can easily control the offset of neurons in the phase space. More interestingly, when symmetry breaking occurs, the neurons can be offset in different directions depending on the choice of initial values. …”

Compensation for Historic Injustice: Does it Matter how the Victims Respond? by Miller, D

Introduction of magneto-fluorescence fluctuation microspectroscopy for investigating quantum effects in biology by Antill, LM, Kohmura, M, Jimbo, C, Maeda, K

“…The instrument uncovers the importance of photodegradation on protein–flavin interactions via magnetic field effects, which will prove paramount when searching for similar quantum effects in biological locales.…”

Paracrine provision of lipids in the immune system by Pond, C

“…Perinodal adipose tissue is abnormal in Crohns disease, leading to insufficient fatty acid precursors of eicosanoids in mesenteric lymph nodes, even when they are plentiful in the diet. Perivascular, epicardial and perinodal adipose tissue have some common properties. …”

Generalized RBF feature maps for efficient detection by Vempati, S, Vedaldi, A, Zisserman, A, Jawahar, CV
