Minoan Linguistic Resources: The Linear A Digital Corpus by Petrolito, Tommaso, Petrolito, Ruggero, Winterstein, Grégoire, Perono Cacciafoco, Francesco

“…Thirdly we explain our choice concerning the data format: why we decided to digitize the Linear A resources; why we decided to convert all the ranscriptions in standard Unicode characters; why we decided to use an XML format; why we decided to implement the TEI-EpiDoc DTD. Lastly we describe: the developing process (from the data collection to the issues we faced and the solving strategies); a new font we developed (synchronized with the Unicode Characters Set) in order to make the data readable even on systems that are not updated. …”

Network analysis and data science for finance: from traditional markets to decentralised exchanges by Miori, D

“…The trading activity of agents on multiple tokens is used to construct a network of transactions for each one of them, and clustering the set of such graphs allows us to identify interpretable “species” of traders. Lastly, we analyse data on liquidity provision, consumption, and price formation on competing decentralised exchange venues, to find a model for the prediction of incoming trading volume at block-level.…”

Cortical evoked activity is modulated by the sleep state in a ferret model of tinnitus. A cross-case study by Milinski, L, Nodal, FR, Emmerson, MKJ, King, AJ, Vyazovskiy, VV, Bajo, VM

“…Following noise overexposure, ferrets developed lasting, frequency–specific impairments in operant behaviour and evoked brainstem activity. …”

Segmentation of magnetic resonance images for assessing neonatal brain maturation by Wang, S

“…We then construct a spatio-temporal growth model for myelin-like signals using logistic regression based on the automatic segmentations of 114 preterm infants aged between 29 and 44 gestational weeks. Lastly, we demonstrate the ability of age estimation using the normal growth model in a leave-one-out procedure.…”
