We’re too busy singing: acoustic analysis with apes by French, Fiona, Good, Stephen, Mokkadem, Karim, Frost, Naomi, Finch, Katherine

“…At this early stage, technology is being used to passively monitor acoustic signals in the environment and subsequently support the analysis of recordings, using visualisation and machine learning techniques to reveal patterns and identify sound sources. Initial findings demonstrate that the fundamental frequency of gorilla low growls fall in the range of 150 to 200 Hz, with subharmonics as low as 30 Hz, just on the edge of human hearing. …”

Examining graph neural networks for crystal structures: Limitations and opportunities for capturing periodicity by Gong, Sheng, Yan, Keqiang, Xie, Tian, Shao-Horn, Yang, Gomez-Bombarelli, Rafael, Ji, Shuiwang, Grossman, Jeffrey C.

“…In this study, we introduce an approach using human-designed descriptors as a compendium of human knowledge to investigate the extent to which GNNs can comprehend crystal structures. Our findings reveal that current state-of-the-art GNNs fall short in accurately capturing the periodicity of crystal structures. …”

The influence of the dynamic change of fear: how gender-specific messages affect anti-smoking intentions by Gu, Rui

“…The drive model, one of the earliest attempts to reveal the mechanisms and effects of fear appeals, inspires the idea that fear should rise and fall to successfully predict persuasion. This dynamic change of fear in its entirety is captured by an inverted-U trajectory. …”

Minimum number of inertial measurement units needed to identify signiicant variations in walk patterns of overweight individuals walking on irregular surfaces by Sikandar, Tasriva, Rabbi, Mohammad Fazle, Kamarul Hawari, Ghazali, Altwijri, Omar, Almijalli, Mohammed, Ahamed, Nizam Uddin

“…Our results revealed two combinations of body locations, including the thigh and shank (i.e., the left and right shank, and the right thigh and right shank), from which IMU data should be collected to accurately classify walking patterns over real-world irregular surfaces (with classification accuracies of 97.24 and 95.87%, respectively). Our findings suggest that the identified numbers and locations of IMUs could potentially reduce the amount of data recorded and processed to develop a fall prevention system for overweight individuals.…”

Postural stability in cyclists by Preece, Mia, Grainger, Karl, Starrs, Paul

“…Conclusion: MTB balance was worse than RC balance, but both cycling groups were found to have better balance scores than the control. These findings have implications for public health, as cycling, an inexpensive and accessible activity already known to offer substantial health benefits, could additionally help maintain postural stability and potentially reduce risk of falls in later life.…”

Enhancing downstream ML performance with unconditional diffusion models for return predictions by Agarwala, Pratham

“…These include: (1)Discriminative Score: measures classifier’s ability to differentiate between real and synthetic. (2) Mutual Information Coefficient: measures amount of shared information between the synthetic and real. (3) Variation in Information: Evaluates the diversity within the synthetic data. Findings indicate a direct link between these factors and model performance, with high-diversity and optimal fidelity datasets enhancing forecasting accuracy. …”
