Perception of emotion conveyed through language is influenced by embodied experiences obtained from social interactions, which may vary across different cultures. To explore cross-cultural differences in the perception of emotion between Chinese and English speakers, this study collected norms of valence and arousal from 322 native Mandarin speakers for 4923 Chinese words translated from Warriner et al., (Behavior Research Methods, 45, 1191-1207, 2013).

Over the past decade, the size of neural network models has gradually increased in both breadth and depth, leading to a growing interest in the application of neural network pruning. Unstructured pruning provides fine-grained sparsity and achieves better inference acceleration under specific hardware support. Unstructured Pruning at Initialization (PaI) optimizes the iterative pruning pipeline, but sparse weights increase the risk of underfitting during training.

Current biomedical titanium alloys have been repurposed from other industries, which has contributed to several biologically driven implant failure mechanisms. This review highlights the added value that may be gained by building an appreciation of implant biological responses at the onset of alloy design. Specifically, the fundamental mechanisms associated with immune response, angiogenesis, osseointegration and the potential threat of infection are discussed, including how elemental selection can modulate these pivotal systems.
