Nephila spider male aggregation: preference for optimal female size and web clustering.

Sexual size dimorphism theory predicts biased operational sex ratios (OSRs) and an uneven distribution of males among certain females. We studied this phenomenon through a field census of the giant wood spider Nephila pilipes (family Nephilidae) in Singapore, a species where females are, on average, 6.9 times larger than males.

SuperFormer: Continual learning superposition method for text classification.

One of the biggest challenges in continual learning domains is the tendency of machine learning models to forget previously learned information over time. While overcoming this issue, the existing approaches often exploit large amounts of additional memory and apply model forgetting mitigation mechanisms which substantially prolong the training process. Therefore, we propose a novel SuperFormer method that alleviates model forgetting, while spending negligible additional memory and time.

Impact of changes in climate on air pollution in Slovenia between 2002 and 2017.

Air pollutant levels depend on emissions but can also be affected by the meteorological situation. We examined air pollutant trends (PM, NO, O and SO) in Slovenia, where in the past the main issue were SO levels. Now, the population is still exposed to PM and ozone levels that are above the recommended levels.

Classification of ischaemic episodes with ST/HR diagrams.

Coronary artery disease is the developed world's premier cause of mortality and the most probable cause of myocardial ischaemia. More advanced diagnostic tests aside, in electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis it manifests itself as a ST segment deviation, targeted by both exercise ECG and ambulatory ECG. In ambulatory ECG, besides ischaemic ST segment deviation episodes there are also non-ischaemic heart rate related episodes which aggravate real ischaemia detection.
