Language-guided zero-shot segmentation with multi-angle reprojection for point cloud analysis See

Virtual Reality applications increasingly demand accurate 3D representations of real-world environments. While LiDAR point clouds capture physical spaces with high fidelity, they typically lack semantic labels, limiting their direct use for tasks such as object recognition, interaction modeling, and a...

Search for dark matter production in association with a single top quark in proton-proton collisions at √𝒔 = 13 TeV See

A search for the production of a single top quark in association with invisible particles is performed using proton-proton collision data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC at √𝒔 = 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb⁻¹. In this search, a&#...

Search for nonresonant new physics signals in high-mass dilepton events produced in association with b-tagged jets in proton-proton collisions at √𝒔 = 13 TeV See

A search for nonresonant new physics phenomena in high-mass dilepton events produced in association with b-tagged jets is performed using proton-proton collision data collected in 2016–2018 by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC, at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV corresponding to ...

Jiangfeng Wang, Keming Yu and Rong Jiang's contribution to the Discussion of ‘Augmented balancing weights as linear regression’ by Bruns-Smith et al See

This is an interesting and well-executed paper that makes a substantial contribution to the literature on semiparametric causal inference, elegantly bridging the seemingly distinct fields of balancing weights and regression adjustment. ...

Artificial Intelligence & Human-Computer Interaction: The development and deployment of emotionally intelligent, LLM-augmented conversational agent software, utilising generative AI to improve pedagogical and educational management processes See

Background: Viva voce examinations, a form of performance-based assessment (PBA), are valued for their ability to elicit deep insights into student understanding and oral articulation. However, they are often associated with challenges such as increased student anxiety, examiner inconsistency and ...

A social sustainability assessment of a newly developed solar thermal energy system for industrial integration See

The deployment of solar thermal energy (STE) systems plays a critical role in decarbonising industrial heat demand; however, their sustainability performance includes not only technical efficiency and environmental impacts but also social considerations across the supply chain. This study presents...

Adapting through adversity: The transformation of art therapists’ professional identity See

Professional identity, constantly reshaped by social and technological change, comes under increased pressure during crises. The COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine profoundly disrupted healthcare systems, and art therapy was no exception. This study examines how these overlapping crises hav...

Review of factors affecting consumer acceptance of cultured meat See

Concerns about animal welfare and sustainable meat production are growing among consumers. The awareness of carbon emissions linked to livestock and ethical concerns have triggered interest in more sustainable meat alternatives, among which cultured meat (also known as laboratory grown meat) ...
