Machine translation of English relative clauses to Chinese in commercial contracts -- a contrastive evaluation of the outputs by SYSTRAN translate, Baidu translate and Google trans... by Li, Yidi

“…BLEU scores were correlated to the human scores for the three MT outputs. When generating relative clauses, the MT tools tended to prepose attributes regardless of their lengths, generate wrong identifications of the headwords, neglect relative clauses, and choose expressions with inaccurate meanings and overlong premodifiers. …”

Gait recognition by dynamic vision sensor and deep neural network by Ng, Noah Winston

“…Instead of capturing an image as a frame by RGB camera, DVS captures gait movement as asynchronous events when there are changes in intensity. DVS offers several benefits compared to RGB sensors such as the ability to capture movement in microseconds, lower consumption in resources, and larger dynamic range. …”

Increasing antibiotic activity by rapid bioorthogonal conjugation of drug to resistant bacteria using an upconverted light-activated photocatalyst by Du, Quanchao, Wu, Xiangyang, Bi, Wuguo, Xing, Bengang, Yeow, Edwin Kok Lee

“…A Nd³⁺-sensitized upconversion nanocrystal (UCNC) decorated with toluidine blue O (TB) on its surface undergoes upconverted energy transfer from the UCNC to TB when excited by 808 nm light. The photoexcited TB then catalyses the conversion of the dihydrotetrazine (dHTz) moiety in a Van-dHTz conjugate system to tetrazine which undergoes an efficient inverse electron demand Diels-Alder reaction with prior attached norbornene molecules on bacterial cell walls. …”

In-situ alkaline enhanced two-stage anaerobic digestion system for waste cooking oil and sewage sludge co-digestion by Yan, Wangwang, Vadivelu, Vel, Maspolim, Yogananda, Zhou, Yan

“…The thermophilic operation applied to the stage-1 of the ALK-2-CSTRs failed to improve the methane yield when the methanogenic performance was stable; while upon WCO overloaded, the elevated temperature mitigated the deterioration of methanogenesis by stimulating the bioconversion of the toxic LCFAs, especially the unsaturated oleic acid. …”

On the commute travel pattern with compressed work schedule by Su, Qida, Wang, David Zhi Wei

“…At a low rate of agglomeration, it is socially beneficial to introduce CW and the system can achieve the social optimum naturally at long-run equilibrium with positive CW users, under mild assumptions. However, when the agglomeration rate is high, the social optimum is no longer achieved, and workers would stick to the normal schedule at equilibrium if the initial case without CW is considered. …”
