Placing objects in context via inpainting for out-of-distribution segmentation by De Jorge, P, Volpi, R, Dokania, PK, Torr, PHS, Rogez, G

“…When deploying a semantic segmentation model into the real world, it will inevitably encounter semantic classes that were not seen during training. To ensure a safe deployment of such systems, it is crucial to accurately evaluate and improve their anomaly segmentation capabilities. …”

Rethinking urban street experiments through Lefebvre's rhythmanalysis: from vehicles and vibrancy to virtuosos by Chan, THY

“…This paper explores intentional and spontaneous street experiments, drawing on Henri Lefebvre's rhythmanalysis. Streets are seen as hosts to intersecting rhythms shaped by daily routines and mobility, with users as performers in rhythmic interactions. …”

Perturbation of fetal liver hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell development by trisomy 21 by Roy, A, Cowan, G, Mead, AJ, Filippi, S, Bohn, G, Chaidos, A, Tunstall, O, Chan, JKY, Choolani, M, Bennett, P, Kumar, S, Atkinson, D, Wyatt-Ashmead, J, Hu, M, Stumpf, MPH, Goudevenou, K, O'Connor, D, Chou, ST, Weiss, MJ, Karadimitris, A, Jacobsen, SE, Vyas, P, Roberts, I

“…In lymphopoiesis, T21 FL lymphoid-primed multipotential progenitors and early lymphoid progenitor numbers are maintained, but there was a 10-fold reduction in committed PreproB-lymphoid progenitors and the functional B-cell potential of HSC and early lymphoid progenitor is severely impaired, in tandem with reduced early lymphoid gene expression. The same pattern was seen in all T21 FL samples and no samples had GATA1 mutations. …”

Policies in parallel? A comparative study of journalistic AI policies in 52 global news organisations by Simon, FM, Becker, KB, Crum, C

“…However, we argue that national and organisational idiosyncrasies continue to matter in shaping publishers’ practices, with both accounting for some of the variation seen in the data. We conclude by pointing out blind spots around technological dependency, sustainable AI, and inequalities in current AI guidelines and providing directions for further research.…”

Computational methods for quantifying in vivo muscle fascicle curvature from ultrasound images by Namburete, AIL, Rana, M, Wakeling, JM

“…Muscle fascicles curve during contraction, and this has been seen using B-mode ultrasound. Curvature can vary along a fascicle, and amongst the fascicles within a muscle. …”

Radiocarbon calibration: from bane to blessing by Bronk Ramsey, C

“…These re-evaluations, and the loss of chronological precision that comes with accurate calibration, have often been seen as an unfortunate drawback in the ¹⁴C dating method. …”

Submerged past: dam construction and cultural heritage protection policy in Iran by Rouhani, B, Nazari, F

“…The Iranian plateau, characterised by its scarcity of water, has seen the development of historical settlements along river valleys and water resources, while nomadic communities have determined their migration routes based on water availability and pastures. …”

Effect of crosslinking reagents and hydroxypropylation levels on dual-modified sago starch properties by Wattanachant, Saowakon, Muhammad, K., Mat Hashim, D., Abd. Rahman, R.

“…Through hydroxypropylation, it was found that there was a significant increase in molar substitution which in turn induces an increase in crosslinking and this was seen from the marked increase in phosphorus content and degree of substitution. …”

Moments of the Riemannn zeta function and log-correlated random variables by Curran, MJ

“…This improves upon previous work of Chandee [21] and Ng, Shen, and Wong [77]. Our bounds are especially interesting when the the shifts are unbounded and the random matrix theory model is no longer appropriate.…”

Aqueous-only exfoliation of pristine graphite to graphene : towards sustainable, multifunctional polymer nanocomposites by Seyed Ismail Seyed Shahabadi

“…Graphene and, by extension, polymer/graphene nanocomposites have seen huge interest in academia and industry. Among different methods to produce graphene, liquid-phase exfoliation (LPE) is one of the most commonly used. …”

Poetry as postmodern by Zhang, Jieqiang

“…The paper will then make a case for how the poetic form is intimately concerned with silence, and thus, is inherently geared toward an exploration of the limits of language: how the poem’s visual shape can be seen as a metaphor for silence, how the poem is actually made of ruins—of the “ruined” poetic verse—and finally, how poetry’s near-condition of music is its desire to detach itself from the real world, into an imaginative textual reality.…”
