Better late than never: sleep still supports memory consolidation after prolonged periods of wakefulness by Petzka, M, Zika, O, Staresina, BP, Cairney, SA

“…While the benefits of sleep for associative memory are well established, it is unclear whether single-item memories profit from overnight consolidation to the same extent. We addressed this question in a preregistered, online study and also investigated how the temporal proximity between learning and sleep influences overnight retention. …”

It's just another day: unique video Captioning by Discriminative Prompting by Perrett, T, Han, T, Damen, D, Zisserman, A

“…In this paper, we formulate the problem of unique captioning: Given multiple clips with the same caption, we generate a new caption for each clip that uniquely identifies it. …”

Viewpoint invariant texture matching and wide baseline stereo by Schaffalitzky, F, Zisserman, A

“…Two texture matching applications of this descriptor are demonstrated: (1) it is used to automatically identify, regions of the same type of texture, but with varying surface pose, within a single image; (2) it is used to support wide baseline stereo, i.e. to enable the automatic computation of the epipolar geometry between two images acquired from quite separated viewpoints. …”

Accuracy and stability of CUR decompositions with oversampling by Park, T, Nakatsukasa, Y

“…When the number of columns and the rows are the same, the CUR decomposition can become unstable and less accurate due to the presence of the matrix inverse in the core matrix. …”

Automated scene matching in movies by Schaffalitzky, F, Zisserman, A

“…<p>We describe progress in matching shots which are images of the same 3D scene in a film. The problem is hard because the camera viewpoint may change substantially between shots, with consequent changes in the imaged appearance of the scene due to foreshortening, scale changes and partial occlusion.…”

The theoretical direct-band-gap optical gain of Germanium nanowires by Xiong, Wen, Wang, Jian-Wei, Fan, Weijun, Song, Zhigang, Tan, Chuan Seng

“…Based on the electronic structures, the density of states of Germanium nanowires are also obtained, and we find that the conduction band density of states mostly come from the electron states at the L-valley because of the eight equivalent degenerate L points in Germanium. …”

Exploring semantic information for deep image aesthetics assessment by Hou, Jingwen

“…In the third work, we further discuss how we can exploit personalized content preferences from features describing general semantic information of images when personal rating profiles are available. Finally, we come to a conclusion based on what we have investigated.…”

纪实同志文学 ：多元性别再现与抗争 = A study on Singapore’s LGBT non-fiction literature : representation and challenges of the sexually diversified by 梁峻洋 Neo, Jun Yang

“…Yet, LGBT individuals that choose to openly express one’s sexuality and come out of the closet (i.e. self-disclosure of one’s homosexuality) are often subjected to social discrimination, rejection and disapproval. …”

History education for transitional justice: how students understand and construct historical legacies in the post-apartheid South African history classroom by Robinson, N

“…<p>Central to the transitional justice agenda is a society’s attempt “to come to terms with a legacy of largescale past abuses” (United Nations, 2004, emphasis added). …”

Nonlinear Optics for Frequency-Doubling in Nanosatellite Laser Communication by Clark, James, Cahoy, Kerri

HiPIMS deposition of VO2 thermochromic coating for enhanced optical properties by Vu, Tuan Duc

“…Vanadium dioxide (VO2) is one of the potential candidates for smart window materials due to its ability to reversibly transit from monoclinic VO2(M) to rutile VO2(R) at a near room temperature. As a result of this transition, the infrared radiation (IR) transparent VO2(M) abruptly becomes IR opaque and effectively regulates the heat intake by solar radiation. …”

Thermal effects on particle deposition in microchannels by Yan, Zhibin

“…The reduction of particle deposition rate with Reynolds number is attributed to the increased hydrodynamic lift force which hinders the transport of particles from the bulk solution to the near-wall region. For the pulsatile flow which is generated by a specially designed pulsation generation unit, an oscillatory flow component is superimposed onto the steady flow of the particle suspension. …”
