Effectiveness of interpretive exhibits in influencing students’ intention in birdwatching activity at a Bird Interpretive Center, Fraser’s Hill, Pahang, Malaysia by Mokhli, Nuraain Amalina

“…The study has shown that the new interpretive intervention exhibit is more effective in influencing students’ affect and intention to participate in birdwatching compared to the existing non-interpretive exhibit at the Bird Interpretive Centre. These findings indicated that the interpretive exhibit developed in this study successfully delivers the messages and the ‘call for action’ and shapes students’ affect and intention based on the objective of the interpretive exhibit.…”

Optical gain in ultrathin self-assembled bi-layers of colloidal quantum wells enabled by the mode confinement in their high-index dielectric waveguides by Foroutan-Barenji, Sina, Erdem, Onur, Gheshlaghi, Negar, Altintas, Yemliha, Demir, Hilmi Volkan

“…To achieve optical gain from such an ultra-thin nanocrystal film, hybrid waveguide structures partly composed of self-assembled layers of CQWs and partly high-index dielectric material are developed and shown: in asymmetric waveguide architecture employing one thin film of dielectric underneath CQWs and in the case of quasi-symmetric waveguide with a pair of dielectric films sandwiching CQWs. …”

Solution-processed highly bright and durable cesium lead halide perovskite light-emitting diodes by Wei, Zhanhua, Perumal, Ajay, Su, Rui, Sushant, Shendre, Xing, Jun, Zhang, Qing, Tan, Swee Tiam, Demir, Hilmi Volkan, Xiong, Qihua

“…The precursor solution is prepared by simply dissolving CsPbBr3 powder and a CsBr additive in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). We find that the CsBr additive not only significantly enhances the PLQY but also induces directional crystal growth into micro-plates, forming a smooth perovskite film for LEDs. …”

When Do Investors Freak Out? Machine Learning Predictions of Panic Selling by Elkind, Daniel, Kaminski, Kathryn, Lo, Andrew W., Siah, Kien Wei, Wong, Chi Heem

“…Using a novel dataset of 653,455 individual brokerage accounts belonging to 298,556 households, we document the frequency, timing, and duration of panic sales, which we define as a decline of 90% of a household account’s equity assets over the course of one month, of which 50% or more is due to trades. We find that a disproportionate number of households make panic sales when there are sharp market downturns, a phenomenon we call ‘freaking out.’ …”
