Heterotic string compactification and quiver gauge theory on toric geometry by Sun, C

“…These 16 manifolds are the only ones among the more than half a billion manifolds in the Kreuzer-Skarke (KS) list with a non-trivial fundamental group. We classify the line bundle models on these manifolds, both for SU(5) and SO(10) Grand Unified Theories (GUT), which lead to consistent supersymmetric string vacua and they have three chiral families. …”

Investigation of digital twins and metaverse by Chow, Harry Yun Fatt

“…In recent years, innovations like integrating BIM technology with laser scanners have introduced the concept of scan-to-BIM (Scan2BIM) [7], allowing 3D models to be created and generated from physical spaces through the scanners. …”

SimSC: a simple framework for semantic correspondence with temperature learning by Li, X, Han, K, Wan, X, Prisacariu, VA

“…We discover that when fine-tuning ImageNet pre-trained backbone on the semantic matching task, L2 normalization of the feature map, a standard procedure in feature matching, produces an overly smooth matching distribution and significantly hinders the fine-tuning process. …”

Mental-LLM: Leveraging Large Language Models for Mental Health Prediction via Online Text Data by Xu, Xuhai, Yao, Bingsheng, Dong, Yuanzhe, Gabriel, Saadia, Yu, Hong, Hendler, James, Ghassemi, Marzyeh, Dey, Anind K., Wang, Dakuo

“…In this work, we present a comprehensive evaluation of multiple LLMs on various mental health prediction tasks via online text data, including Alpaca, Alpaca-LoRA, FLAN-T5, GPT-3.5, and GPT-4. We conduct a broad range of experiments, covering zero-shot prompting, few-shot prompting, and instruction fine-tuning. …”

Age-related functional compensation in novelty and relational encoding of scenes : a brain activation and functional connectivity study by Leow, Dayton Wei Yang

“…This study utilized functional MRI-task sensitive to novelty and relational encoding of indoor/outdoor scenes to examine the age-related changes in brain activation and IFG-hippocampus/parahippocampus functional connectivity, among high/low performing older adults and young adults, for PASA effect and the support for its compensatory function. Functional scans of 33 old adults and 48 young adults were analyzed at the group level, in terms of whole brain activation and seed-to-voxel functional connectivity, focusing on the IFG, hippocampus and parahippocampus. …”

Observation of membrane fouling with 3D-printed spacers using 3D optical coherence tomography by Koo, Jing Wee

“…This study focused on using optical coherence tomography (OCT) to investigate the effects of 3D-printed spacers (especially the 3D-printed sinusoidal spacers) on the fouling process. A series of OCT scans of a representative unit cell in a spacer was taken as a function of time to generate 3D-images illustrating the morphology of a foulant layer. …”

Field instrumentation for performance assessment of Geobarrier System by Rahardjo, Harianto, Qian, Zhai, Satyanaga, Alfrendo, Leong, Eng Choon, Wang, Chien Looi, Wong, Johnny Liang Heng

“…The saturated hydraulic conductivity of a coarse-grained material is normally higher than that of a fine-grained material. However, the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity of the coarse-grained material decreases much faster than that of the fine-grained material with increasing matric suction and consequently the coarse-grained material can be less permeable than the fine-grained material in unsaturated condition. …”
