Weber’s Law of perception is a consequence of resolving the intensity of natural scintillating light and sound with the least possible error by Pednekar, Shourav, Krishnadas, Arun, Cho, Byunggu, Makris, Nicholas C.

“…This resolution obeys Weber’s Law when the smallest resolvable change, a just-noticeable-difference, grows in direct proportion to the stimulus. …”

Anomalous crystalline ordering of particles in a viscoelastic fluid under high shear by Sun, Sijie, Xue, Nan, Aime, Stefano, Kim, Hyoungsoo, Tang, Jizhou, McKinley, Gareth H., Stone, Howard A., Weitz, David A.

“…Addition of particles to a viscoelastic suspension dramatically alters the properties of the mixture, particularly when it is sheared or otherwise processed. Shear-induced stretching of the polymers results in elastic stress that causes a substantial increase in measured viscosity with increasing shear, and an attractive interaction between particles, leading to their chaining. …”

Tuning the shear thickening of suspensions through surface roughness and physico-chemical interactions by Bourrianne, Philippe, Niggel, Vincent, Polly, Gatien, Divoux, Thibaut, McKinley, Gareth H.

“…We show here that both properties matter when it comes to continuous shear thickening (CST) and that the presence of hydrogen bonds between the particles is essential to achieve discontinuous shear thickening (DST) by enhancing solid friction between closely contacting particles. …”

Summarized Causal Explanations For Aggregate Views by Youngmann, Brit, Cafarella, Michael, Gilad, Amir, Roy, Sudeepa

“…Hence, generating automated explanations for aggregate views can allow users to gain better insights into the results while saving time in data analysis. When providing explanations for such views, it is paramount to ensure that they are succinct yet comprehensive, reveal different types of insights that hold for different aggregate answers in the view, and, most importantly, they reflect reality and arm users to make informed data-driven decisions, i.e., the explanations do not only consider correlations but are causal. …”

Memory-efficient approximate three-dimensional beamforming by Rypkema, Nicholas R., Fischell, Erin M., Schmidt, Henrik

“…Its key lies in reducing 3D look directions [described by azimuth/inclination angles (ϕ, θ) when considering the array as a whole] to a single variable (a conical angle, ζ) by treating the array as a collection of sensor pairs. …”

An acoustic remote sensing method for high-precision propeller rotation and speed estimation of unmanned underwater vehicles by Railey, Kristen, DiBiaso, Dino, Schmidt, Henrik

“…In negligible currents, and when the UUV turn-per-knot ratio was known, measuring motor noise produced speed predictions within the error range of the vehicle's inertial navigation system's reported speed. …”

Fast and accurate variant identification tool for sequencing-based studies by Gaston, Jeffry M., Alm, Eric J., Zhang, An-Ni

“…Results We present QuickVariants, a bioinformatics tool that effectively summarizes variant information from read alignments and identifies variants. When tested on diverse bacterial sequencing data, QuickVariants demonstrates a ninefold higher median speed than bcftools, a widely used variant identifier, with higher accuracy in identifying both point mutations and indels. …”

Combining Acoustic Bioprinting with AI-Assisted Raman Spectroscopy for High-Throughput Identification of Bacteria in Blood by Safir, Fareeha, Vu, Nhat, Tadesse, Loza F., Firouzi, Kamyar, Banaei, Niaz, Jeffrey, Stefanie S., Saleh, Amr. A. E., Khuri-Yakub, Butrus (Pierre) T., Dionne, Jennifer A.

“…We demonstrate rapid printing of 2 pL droplets from solutions containing S. epidermidis, E. coli, and blood; when they are mixed with gold nanorods (GNRs), SERS enhancements of up to 1500× are achieved.We then train a ML model and achieve ≥99% classification accuracy from cellularly pure samples and ≥87% accuracy from cellularly mixed samples. …”

Assessing Early Stage Design Sketches and Reflections on Prototyping by Das, Madhurima, Yang, Maria C

“…The study finds a positive correlation between sketch quality and understandability, which indicates the importance of sketch quality when using sketches as a communication tool. Results indicate that early stage sketch quantity is linked with design outcomes, though sketch quality does not have a strong correlation with design outcomes. …”

Avoidance of Concave Obstacles Through Rotation of Nonlinear Dynamics by Huber, Lukas, Slotine, Jean-Jacques, Billard, Aude

“…This article introduces a novel approach called the rotational obstacle avoidance method (ROAM) for adapting the initial dynamics when obstacles partially occlude the workspace. ROAM presents a closed-form solution that effectively avoids star-shaped obstacles in spaces of arbitrary dimensions by rotating the initial dynamics toward the tangent space. …”

A Bayesian Approach to Forced Oscillation Source Location Given Uncertain Generator Parameters by Chevalier, Samuel, Vorobev, Petr, Turitsyn, Konstantin

“…Since forced oscillations are exogenous to dynamic power system models, the models by themselves cannot predict when or where a forced oscillation will occur. Locating the sources of these oscillations, therefore, is a challenging problem which requires analytical methods capable of using real time power system data to trace an observed oscillation back to its source. …”
