HLO : half-kernel laplacian operator for surface smoothing by Pan, Wei, Lu, Xuequan, Gong, Yuanhao, Tang, Wenming, Liu, Jun, He, Ying, Qiu, Guoping

“…Given a vertex v, HLO first finds all pairs of its neighboring vertices and divides each pair into two subsets (called half windows); then computes the uniform Laplacians of all such subsets and subsequently projects the computed Laplacians to the full-window uniform Laplacian to alleviate flipping and degeneration. …”

Green city under the earth by Sim, Jun An

“…With such developments, we have to acknowledge the need to remove Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in such confined spaces to prevent the Sick Building Syndrome (SBS). Plants can be grown in the underground city using Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs), which has an edge over fluorescent lights, which aid in improving Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). [2nd Award]…”

Determination of Optimal Shot Peen Forming Patterns Using the Theory of Non-Euclidean Plates by Sushitskii, Vladislav, van Rees, Wim M., Levesque, Martin, Gosselin, Frederick P.

“…We show how a theoretical framework developed for modeling nonuniform growth can model the shot peen forming process. Shot peen forming consists in bombarding a metal panel with multiple millimeter-sized shots that induce local bending of the panel. …”

FACETS : multi-faceted functional decomposition of protein interaction networks by Bhowmick, Sourav S., Seah, Boon-Siew, Dewey Jr., C. Forbes

“…In this article, we propose a novel PPI network decomposition algorithm called FACETS in order to make sense of the deluge of interaction data using Gene Ontology (GO) annotations. FACETS finds not just a single functional decomposition of the PPI network, but a multi-faceted atlas of functional decompositions that portray alternative perspectives of the functional landscape of the underlying PPI network. …”

The impact of repeated notifications and notification checking mode on investors' reactions to managers’ strategic positive title emphasis by Chen, Wei, Tan, Hun-Tong, Wang, Elaine Ying

“…We conduct an experiment to examine how repeated earnings notifications and the mode in which investors check notifications affect their reactions to managers' strategic positive emphasis in earnings release titles (i.e., when firm performance is not as positive as the emphasis indicated in the title). We predict and find that a title with (versus without) a strategic positive emphasis can result in both a negative content incongruency effect and a positive title impression effect. …”
