Activated: Decentering activism in and with academia [PDF]

Companion Publication of the 2021 Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing, 2021
Who is an activist? With the advent of activism-related scholarship in HCI and CSCW, the current challenge involves thinking about what activism is, who an activist is, and the opportunities and limitations of activism. Recently, researchers in academia and industry, such as Timnit Gebru, demonstrate a commitment to stay activated for the structural ...

Activate or Not: Learning Customized Activation [PDF]

2021 IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), 2021
We present a simple, effective, and general activation function we term ACON which learns to activate the neurons or not. Interestingly, we find Swish, the recent popular NAS-searched activation, can be interpreted as a smooth approximation to ReLU. Intuitively, in the same way, we approximate the more general Maxout family to our novel ACON family ...

To Activate or Not to Activate [PDF]

Circulation Research, 2013
In a recent study, Watanabe et al identify a novel enhancer in the fgf10 locus that is necessary and sufficient for expression in anterior second heart field. Their results suggest a competitive mechanism in which Isl1 and Nkx2-5 bind the enhancer to activate or repress this enhancer, respectively.

Process evaluation of a pilot multi-component physical activity intervention – active schools: Skelmersdale

BMC Public Health, 2018
Background Schools have been identified as key environments to promote child physical activity (PA). Implementation of multi-component PA interventions within schools is advocated but research has showed that they may not always be effective at ...

Transcriptional activators and activation mechanisms [PDF]

Protein & Cell, 2007
Transcriptional activators are required to turn on the expression of genes in a eukaryotic cell. Activators bound to the enhancer can facilitate either the recruitment of RNA polymerase II to the promoter or its elongation. This article examines a few selected issues in understanding activator functions and activation mechanisms.

Assessing physical activity promotion in different settings and how its associated with public participation during COVID-19 epidemic: evidence from national policy evaluation

BMC Public Health, 2023
Background Various interventions, programs and policies have been implemented to improve physical activity (PA) levels worldwide. However, countries continue to face barriers and challenges in achieving their targets. To date, there is a lack of study on

Development of a behavioural support intervention for e-bike use in Australia

BMC Public Health, 2022
Background Insufficient physical activity (PA) is a risk factor for the development of many non-communicable diseases. Electric bicycles (e-bikes) offer considerable potential to support people to be physically active, however, no previous e-bike ...

Regional variation in adipose tissue metabolism of severely obese premenopausal women.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1995
Lipolytic and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activities were studied in isolated human adipocytes obtained from two intraabdominal depots (round ligament and omental) and from the subcutaneous abdominal region of nine severely obese premenopausal women (with ...
