Gendered Paths Into STEM-Related and Language-Related Careers: Girls’ and Boys’ Motivational Beliefs and Career Plans in Math and Language Arts

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2019
Women are often underrepresented in math-intensive fields like the physical sciences, technology, engineering and mathematics. By comparison, boys relative to girls are less likely to strive for jobs in social and human-services domains.

Theoretical analysis of the role of chromatin interactions in long-range action of enhancers and insulators [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Long-distance regulatory interactions between enhancers and their target genes are commonplace in higher eukaryotes. Interposed boundaries or insulators are able to block these long distance regulatory interactions.

The Generalized Internal/External Frame of Reference Model: An Extension to Dimensional Comparison Theory

open access: yesFrontline Learning Research, 2016
The dimensional comparison theory (DCT) is based on the internal/external frame of reference model (I/E model). The model focuses on the effects of external (e.g., “How good am I in math compared to my classmates?”) and internal, dimensional comparisons (

Distributed video coding for wireless video sensor networks: a review of the state-of-the-art architectures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Distributed video coding (DVC) is a relatively new video coding architecture originated from two fundamental theorems namely, Slepian–Wolf and Wyner–Ziv.

Perceptually-Driven Video Coding with the Daala Video Codec [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The Daala project is a royalty-free video codec that attempts to compete with the best patent-encumbered codecs. Part of our strategy is to replace core tools of traditional video codecs with alternative approaches, many of them designed to take ...

Study of Channel Characteristics for Galvanic-Type Intra-Body Communication Based on a Transfer Function from a Quasi-Static Field Model

open access: yesSensors, 2012
Intra-Body Communication (IBC), which modulates ionic currents over the human body as the communication medium, offers a low power and reliable signal transmission method for information exchange across the body.

Origin of the diversity in DNA recognition domains in phasevarion associated modA genes of pathogenic Neisseria and Haemophilus influenzae. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Phase variable restriction-modification (R-M) systems have been identified in a range of pathogenic bacteria. In some it has been demonstrated that the random switching of the mod (DNA methyltransferase) gene mediates the coordinated expression of ...

Assessing Different Temporal Scales of Calcium Dynamics in Networks of Beta Cell Populations

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2021
Beta cells within the pancreatic islets of Langerhans respond to stimulation with coherent oscillations of membrane potential and intracellular calcium concentration that presumably drive the pulsatile exocytosis of insulin.

Transferable Positive/Negative Speech Emotion Recognition via Class-wise Adversarial Domain Adaptation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Speech emotion recognition plays an important role in building more intelligent and human-like agents. Due to the difficulty of collecting speech emotional data, an increasingly popular solution is leveraging a related and rich source corpus to help ...

Stratified Transfer Learning for Cross-domain Activity Recognition

open access: yes, 2017
In activity recognition, it is often expensive and time-consuming to acquire sufficient activity labels. To solve this problem, transfer learning leverages the labeled samples from the source domain to annotate the target domain which has few or none ...
