Online learning with kernels by Fan, Haijin

“…The sparsification method performs a role to select a compact dictionary consisting of the kernel function centers. They are developed according to different measures, such as the mutual information measure, the significance measure, the coherence measure or the cumulative coherence measure, which are used to evaluate the novelty of new training samples. …”

Chemical mediation of coral larval settlement by crustose coralline algae by Tebben, J., Motti, C. A, Siboni, Nachshon, Negri, A. P., Harder, T., Steinberg, Peter David, Hatta, Masayuki, Tapiolas, D. M., Schupp, P. J., Kitamura, Makoto

“…These algae-derived fractions induce settlement and metamorphosis at equivalent concentrations as present in CCA, both in small scale laboratory assays and under flow-through conditions, suggesting their ability to act in an ecologically relevant fashion to steer larval settlement of corals. Both compound classes were readily detected in natural samples.…”

The structure of hadrons and other potential phases of QCD by Schindler, Stella T.

“…Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is a mathematical theory describing subatomic particles called quarks and gluons, and the strong force that binds them together into protons and neutrons. This thesis centers on two major thrusts of modern QCD research: (1) uncovering the inner quark and gluon structure of the proton, and (2) mapping out other phases of matter that quarks and gluons form as we vary pressure and temperature. …”

Diastereoselective hydroalkylation of aryl alkenes enabled by remote hydride transfer by Gandamana, Dhika Aditya, Gagosz, Fabien, Chiba, Shunsuke

“…Leveraging of 1,5-hydride shift enabled diastereoselective hydroalkylation of aryl alkenes, allowing for construction of consecutive vicinal stereogenic centers in a single process. The transformation is triggered by electrophilic alkylation of aryl alkenes with in-situ generated carbocations, that is followed by diastereoselective 1,5-hydride shift to the resulting benzylic carbocation through a rigid 6-membered ring chair-like transition state.…”
