Intersection Graphs of Maximal Sub-polygons of k-Lizards by Daugherty, Caroline, Laison, Joshua D., Robinson, Rebecca, Salois, Kyle

“…Abstract We introduce k-maximal sub-polygon graphs (k-MSP graphs), the intersection graphs of maximal polygons contained in a polygon with sides parallel to a regular 2k-gon. We prove that all complete graphs are k-MSP graphs for all $$k>1$$ k > 1 ; trees are 2-MSP graphs; trees are k-MSP graphs for $$k>2$$ k > 2 if and only if they are caterpillars; and n-cycles are not k-MSP graphs for $$n>3$$ n > 3 and $$k>1$$ k > 1 . …”

Assessment of PCL/carbon material scaffolds for bone regeneration by Huang, Boyang, Caetano, Guilherme, Wang, Weiguang, Bártolo, Pauko

“…This paper investigates the use of an extrusion additive manufacturing system to produce poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL), PCL/graphene nanosheet and PCL carbon nanotube (CNT) scaffolds for bone applications. Scaffolds with regular and reproducible architecture and uniform dispersion of carbon materials were produced and evaluated in terms of carbon material concentration and biological performance. …”

Mobile sensors-based detection of road conditions and quality by Singh, Prabhat, Bansal, Abhay, Kamal, Ahmed E., Kumar, Sunil

“…Due to the frequent use of roads, maintenance, and monitoring at regular intervals become important. Indian roads have many factors such as poor construction quality, heavy traffic, poor drainage, weak sub grade, and large variations in temperature that can contribute to the creation of potholes, cracks, etc. …”

A Framework for Robust Assessment of Power Grid Stability and Resiliency by Vu, Thanh Long, Turitsyn, Konstantin

“…By this toolbox we can 'offline' screen a wide range of contingencies or power injection profiles, without reassessing the system stability on a regular basis. In particular, we formulate and solve two novel robust stability and resiliency assessment problems of power grids subject to the uncertainty in equilibrium points and uncertainty in fault-on dynamics. …”

Cross-Modal Deep Variational Hashing by Liong, Venice Erin, Lu, Jiwen, Zhou, Jie, Tan, Yap Peng

“…We then design modality-specific neural networks in a probabilistic manner such that we model a latent variable to be close as possible from the inferred binary codes, at the same time approximated by a posterior distribution regularized by a known prior, which is suitable for out-of-sample extension. …”

The effects of gender and gain versus loss frame on processing breast cancer screening messages by Kim, Hyo Jung

“…This current study investigated how the gain versus loss framing effect would be moderated by gender of message recipients in the context of breast cancer screening (BCS) intervention that promotes both men and women to recommend regular BCS to their close women. A 2 (male vs. female) x 2 (gain vs. loss) between-subject experiment was conducted using 128 African American participants (mean age = 45.9). …”
