A proposal for a technology-assisted approach to wildlife management in Singapore by Chen, Melvin, Tan, Alvin De Jun, Quek, Wei Liang, Chahed, Haroun

“…Among the results that will be discussed are the following: a significant decline in the number of macaque sightings at Student Residences over the weekend, a majority of the reported macaque sightings occurring in the early evening, no significant difference in the damage and proximity scores over time, and a trend in observed macaque activity at critical sleep-relevant time intervals and areas on campus. …”

Ultra low-power UWB-RFID system for precise location-aware applications by Zhou, Yuan, Law, Choi Look, Xia, Jingjing

“…Power saving and precision localization is achieved by optimization of the circuit design for ultra short pulses as well as system architecture and operation. When 1 s sleep mode is incorporated with 0.72 ms active mode, the tag consumes on average 6.8 uA when pulsing at 3.3 MHz rate with 15.5 dBm peak transmit power. …”

A cellular basis for mapping behavioural structure by El-Gaby, M, Harris, AL, Whittington, JCR, Dorrell, W, Bhomick, A, Walton, ME, Akam, T, Behrens, TEJ

“…These dynamics mirrored the abstract task structure both on-task and during offline sleep. Our findings suggest that schemata of complex behavioural structures can be generated by sculpting progress-to-goal tuning into task-structured buffers of individual behavioural steps.…”

Effect of residual soil depth on soil-water characteristic curve and unsaturated shear strength by Tikno, Nickanor

“…The percentage of fines plots clearly show the transition region between two layers which is denoted with steep gradient. Based on observation, convergence between upper and lower limits found in the percentage of fines plots of residual soils from Sedimentary Jurong Formation (SJF) and Bukit Timah Granite (BTG) is also observed in the AEV plots of respective soils. …”

Three essays on corporate finance by Fu, Kangkang

“…Moreover, from the principal customers’ perspective, a higher level of environmental risk lowers a supplier firm’s probability of being selected relative to its industry peers by its potential customer. Conditional on an ongoing relationship with principal customers, supplier firms with high environmental risk have lower sales to principal customers and shorter relationship durations. …”

Probabilistic Programming with Programmable Variational Inference by Becker, McCoy R., Lew, Alexander K., Wang, Xiaoyan, Ghavami, Matin, Huot, Mathieu, Rinard, Martin C., Mansinghka, Vikash K.

“…This makes it possible to concisely express many models, variational families, objectives, and gradient estimators from the machine learning literature, including importance-weighted autoencoders (IWAE), hierarchical variational inference (HVI), and reweighted wake-sleep (RWS). We implement our approach in an extension to the Gen probabilistic programming system (genjax.vi, implemented in JAX), and evaluate our automation on several deep generative modeling tasks, showing minimal performance overhead vs. hand-coded implementations and performance competitive to well-established open-source PPLs.…”

Sound based snore signal processing by Ang, Shouchen

“…Snoring can be commonly found in up to 40% of the adult population [1] and it is a symptom that can be used as an indication to justify the existence of obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome(OSA). Over the years, studies have proven that the acoustic characteristics of the snoring sound may differ between a simple/normal snorer and an OSA patient. …”

Reallocation of time between device-measured movement behaviours and risk of incident cardiovascular disease by Walmsley, R, Chan, S, Smith-Byrne, K, Ramakrishnan, R, Woodward, M, Rahimi, K, Dwyer, T, Bennett, D, Doherty, A

“…</p> <p><strong>Methods</strong> Using free-living data from 152 participants, we developed a machine-learning model to classify movement behaviours (moderate-to-vigorous physical activity behaviours (MVPA), light physical activity behaviours, sedentary behaviour, sleep) in wrist-worn accelerometer data. Participants in UK Biobank, a prospective cohort, were asked to wear an accelerometer for 7 days, and we applied our machine-learning model to classify their movement behaviours. …”

Health economic aspects of childhood excess weight by Onyimadu, O

“…My analyses of CPRD-HES data revealed that children living with overweight and obesity incurred significantly higher direct healthcare costs than their peers with a healthy weight. In comparison to children with healthy weight, those living with overweight generated additional costs of £133.93 and £66.32, on average, in the year preceding and following a BMI measurement, respectively, while children with obesity incurred additional costs of £115.47 and £154.51, on average, during the same periods. …”
