A comparison of methods for forecasting value at risk and expected shortfall of cryptocurrencies by Trucíos, C, Taylor, JW

“…Several procedures to forecast daily risk measures in cryptocurrency markets have been recently implemented in the literature. Among them, long-memory processes, procedures taking into account the presence of extreme observations, procedures that include more than a single regime, and quantile regression-based models have performed substantially better than standard methods in terms of forecasting risk measures. …”

Rationale and concerns for using JAK inhibitors in axial spondyloarthritis by Ahmed, S, Yesudian, R, Ubaide, H, Coates, LC

“…Treatments for individual patients need to be tailored to whichever organ is inflamed at that point in time but should also consider the presence of other inflamed organs, comorbidities, long-term safety and cost. axSpA is a treatable condition where low disease activity or remission should be the target in most patients. …”

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

“…This multimodal emotion framework has the potential to provide novel, nuanced insights into long-standing questions, such as whether emotion categories are innate or learned and whether emotions exhibit coherence or degeneracy, thereby refining emotion theories. …”

Monstrans de droit, petition of right, and liability for Crown debt by Getzler, J

“…A vested right to property was seen as a stronger claim than an action to enforce an executory or precatory obligation, and as such could be claimed by a summary version of the petition of right known as monstrans de droit, a demonstration or plea of right. Tort claims for long remained outside the system, as ‘the king could do no wrong’; hence trespassory remedies such as assumpsit were generally unavailable. …”

Strike a pose: tracking people by finding stylized poses by Ramanan, D, Forsyth, DA, Zisserman, A

“…We develop an algorithm for finding and kinematically tracking multiple people in long sequences. Our basic assumption is that people tend to take on certain canonical poses, even when performing unusual activities like throwing a baseball or figure skating. …”

Controversies in neurology: asymptomatic carotid stenosis—intervention or just stick to medical therapy. The argument for carotid endarterectomy by Hirt, L, Halliday, A

“…Carotid endarterectomy, on the other hand, has been shown to reduce the incidence of ipsilateral ischaemic stroke in both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients, with the benefits extending into the long-term. Carotid angioplasty and stenting is a newer technique with the benefit of being minimally invasive. …”

Dynamic linkages of Asian stock markets by Baharumshah, Ahmad Zubaidi, Sarmidi, Tamat, Tan, Hui Boon

“…This study examines the dynamic interrelationship among the major stock markets and in the four Asian markets (Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan and South Korea), both in the short run and in the long run. To investigate the impact of financial reforms and the Asian financial crisis on these markets, we split the sample into three sub-periods: pre-liberalization (1988-91), post-liberalization (1992-96) and post-crisis (1997-99) periods. …”

Managing Change in Lean Manufacturing Implementation by Nordin, Norani, Md Deros, Baba, Abdul Wahab, Dzuraidah, Ab. Rahman, Mohd Nizam

The influence of soil age on ecosystem structure and function across biomes by Delgado-Baquerizo, Manuel, Reich, Peter B., Bardgett, Richard D., Eldridge, David J., Lambers, Hans, Wardle, David A., Reed, Sasha C., Plaza, César, Png, Kenny Guochen, Neuhauser, Sigrid, Berhe, Asmeret Asefaw, Hart, Stephen C., Hu, Hang-Wei, He, Ji-Zheng, Bastida, Felipe, Abades, Sebastián, Alfaro, Fernando D., Cutler, Nick A., Gallardo, Antonio, García-Velázquez, Laura, Hayes, Patrick E., Hseu, Zeng-Yei, Pérez, Cecilia A., Santos, Fernanda, Siebe, Christina, Trivedi, Pankaj, Sullivan, Benjamin W., Weber-Grullon, Luis, Williams, Mark A., Fierer, Noah

“…We propose that, regardless of soil age, changes in the environmental context, such as those associated with global climatic and land-use changes, will have important long-term impacts on the structure and function of terrestrial ecosystems across biomes.…”

Nonlinear regression approach for GPS multipath mitigation : from code to carrier-phase measurements by Phan, Quoc Huy

“…Multipath, where GPS signals arrive by more than one path and thereby create a range error, has remained the long-lasting major error source in GPS solutions although having been a target of the GPS research community since the day the system started operating. …”

Micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) enabled digital pen by Tan, Joel Qi Zhi

“…A low pass filter was also applied after the EKF to eliminate any short-term fluctuations while keeping the long-term trend. The output of the filters was then used to plot out the letters in the digital world. …”

“…Besides, we observed iconic topological surface states with chiral edge modes around the Γ point, forming long Fermi-arc winding across the Brillouin zone. …”

Novel technologies for cell culture and tissue engineering by Ge, C

“…As a result, the ITO-film based heating system was evaluated and constructed successfully to serve as a heating element for long-term static cell culture with facilitated proliferation rate in gas-permeable PDMS microbioreactor outside of conventional incubation.…”

Heterogeneity within colorectal cancer cell lines and epigenetic regulation of CD24 by Ibn Ayub, M

“…Single cell sorting by FACS allowed to isolate and establish these clones which were stable in the culture for long enough (until passage ∼30) to allow their characterisations. …”

Elemental characteristics of particulate matter (Pm10 and Pm2.5) from peat swamp area in kuala pahang by Eng, Hwai Ern, Teoh, Chee Shan, Firdaus, Ismail, Abdul Syukor, Abd Razak, Suryati, Sulaiman

“…Particulate matter (PM) is normally being divided into two common groups known as: the coarse fraction particle with a range of sizing from 2.5 to 10 UM (PM10–PM2.5), and the fine fraction particles with a dimension smaller than 2.5 UM (PM2.5). …”
