A recommendation for a pre-standardized marine microalgal dry 3 weight determination protocol for laboratory scale culture using 4 ammonium formate as a washing agent by Khaw, Yam Sim, Tan, Hui Teng, Sopawong, Arissara, Shaharuddin, Noor Azmi, Omar, Abdul Rahman, Md. Yusoff, Fatimah

“…GMF grade GF/A with precombustion at 450 °C provided the most satisfactory DW and the highest ash-free dry weight (AFDW)/DW ratio. Furthermore, 0.05 M ammonium formate with 1:2 culture: washing agent ratio and a minimum of two washing cycles appeared to be the best settings of microalgal DW determination. …”

Extracellular ATP increases cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration in clonal insulin-producing RINm5F cells. A mechanism involving direct interaction with both release and refilling o... by Arkhammar, P, Hallberg, A, Kindmark, H, Nilsson, T, Rorsman, P, Berggren, P

“…Effects of extracellularly applied ATP (added as disodium salt) on stimulus-secretion coupling were investigated in clonal insulin-producing RINm5F cells. Cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration [( Ca2+]i), electrical activity, membrane potential, formation of InsP3 and insulin release were measured. …”

Methods for autonomously decomposing and performing long-horizon sequential decision tasks by Pateria, Shubham

“…We refer to this approach as Autonomous Task Decomposition (ATD) in the thesis and study it for multi-agent coordination using model-free Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning (HRL), single-agent goal-reaching using model-free HRL, and single-agent goal-reaching using model-based planning. …”

Optimal exercise of an executive stock option by an insider by Monoyios, M

“…We consider an optimal stopping problem arising in connection with the exercise of an executive stock option by an agent with inside information. The agent is assumed to have noisy information on the terminal value of the stock, does not trade the stock or outside securities, and maximises the expected discounted payoff over all stopping times with regard to an enlarged filtration which includes the inside information. …”

ABOUND.2L+: A randomized phase 2 study of nanoparticle albumin‐bound paclitaxel with or without CC‐486 as second‐line treatment for advanced nonsquamous non‐small cell lung cancer... by Morgensztern, D, Cobo, M, Ponce Aix, S, Postmus, PE, Lewanski, CR, Bennouna, J, Fischer, JR, Juan-Vidal, O, Stewart, DJ, Fasola, G, Ardizzoni, A, Bhore, R, Wolfsteiner, M, Talbot, DC, Jin Ong, T, Govindan, R, On Behalf Of The Abound L Investigators

“…The median progression‐free survival was 3.2 months for the combination and 4.2 months for single‐agent nab‐paclitaxel (hazard ratio, 1.3; 95% confidence interval, 0.9‐1.9). …”

The contours of control by Shepherd, J

“…Necessarily, if S lacks the ability to exercise (some degree of) control, S is not an agent. If S is not an agent, S cannot act intentionally, responsibly, or rationally, nor can S possess or exercise free will. …”

Individual-based and continuum models of growing cell populations: a comparison. by Byrne, H, Drasdo, D

“…Since simulations of the lattice-free agent-based model in the case of very large random migration are too long to be practical, lattice-based cellular automaton (CA) models have to be used for a quantitative analysis of sparse monolayers. …”

Optimal exercise of an executive stock option by an insider by Monoyios, M, Ng, A

The agent is assumed to have noisy information on the terminal value of the stock, does not trade the stock or outside securities, and maximises the expected discounted payoff over all stopping times with regard to an enlarged filtration which includes the inside information. …”

Addiction, identity, morality by Earp, B, Skorburg, J, Everett, J, Savulescu, J

“…Typically, such judgments have to do with what sorts of capacities the agent has (e.g., free will, agency). Much less work, however, has been done on the relationship between addiction and judgments about the agent’s identity, including whether or to what extent an individual is seen as the same person after becoming addicted. …”

Silver recovery from spent IPA using solid liquid extraction by Khairul Afif, Mohammad

“…This company use IPA as a cleaning agent.Solid-liquid extraction (leaching process) is used in this study to extract the silver because of its simplicity,environmental friendly, lower cost and provides high purity of product.In order to get better understanding in this study,few parameters such as type of leaching agent,concentration of leaching agent and retention time were investigated.Based on the result obtain, it can conclude that all the parameters affect silver leaching.Most of leaching agent that been used in this study show the potential on silver leaching because of the existence of free chloride ions produce by HCl and form silver chloro complexes with Ag+ ions. …”
