Learning with partial labels: an exploratory study of data scarcity for medical images by Dong, N

“…While VRM was originally designed as a simple technique to enhance the generalization ability of deep learning models in supervised learning, I demonstrate that, by leveraging principle of maximum entropy, VRM can be successfully applied to PSL. Through experimental evidence, I illustrate that VRM shows advantages over semi-supervised learning methods in both accuracy and computational complexity, particularly in practical and challenging scenarios. …”

T1-mapping as a novel technique for myocardial tissue characterisation using cardiovascular magnetic resonance – from method development to clinical validation and application by Ferreira, V

“…The design of ShMOLLI was successful in breaching the 10-second breath-hold time without compromising the accuracy of T1 measurements compared to the conventional method; further, unlike MOLLI, ShMOLLI did not exhibit increasing error with increasing T1 or heart rates, making it advantageous in measuring long T1 values and at fast heart rates. …”

On the nature of dynamic cavity collapse using x-ray phase contrast imaging by Escauriza, E

“…A key aspect of understanding the phenomenon is to observe it directly, which allows comparison to numerical simulations of the process. This has been successfully achieved for cavities in fluids through established high-speed optical imaging techniques. …”

Differential immunodominance hierarchy of CD8+ T cell responses in HLA-B*27:05 and B*27:02-mediated control of HIV-1 infection. by Adland, E, Hill, M, Lavandier, N, Csala, A, Edwards, A, Chen, F, Radkowski, M, Kowalska, J, Paraskevis, D, Hatzakis, A, Valenzuela-Ponce, H, Pfafferott, K, Williams, I, Pellegrino, P, Borrow, P, Mori, M, Rockstroh, J, Prado, J, Mothe, B, Dalmau, J, Martinez-Picado, J, Tudor-Williams, G, Frater, A, Stryhn, A, Buus, S, Reyes Teran, G, Mallal, S, John, M, Buchbinder, S, Kirk, G, Martin, J, Michael, N, Fellay, J, Deeks, S, Walker, B, Avila-Rios, S, Cole, D, Brander, C, Carrington, M, Goulder, P

“…In combination with the protective Gag-KK10 and Pol-KY9 CD8+ T-cell responses that dominate HIV-specific CD8+ T-cell activity in HLA-B*27:05-positive subjects, a Nef-VW9-specific response is additionally present and immunodominant in HLA-B*27:02-positive subjects, mediated through a polymorphism at residue 81 in the F-pocket, that contributes to selection pressure against HIV.IMPORTANCE CD8+ T-cells play a central role in successful control of HIV infection, and have the potential also to mediate the eradication of viral reservoirs of infection. …”

Borane, boryl and borylene complexes of electron rich metal centres by Addy, D, David A Addy

“…Attempts to synthesise boryl complexes via simple oxidative addition of monomeric aminoboranes have also proved successful, through the use of electron rich iridium precursors containing the [Ir(PMe₃)₃] fragment. …”

Evaluating Long-term Outcomes of NHS Stop Smoking Services (ELONS): a prospective cohort study by Dobbie, F, Hiscock, R, Leonardi-Bee, J, Murray, S, Shahab, L, Aveyard, P, Coleman, T, McEwen, A, McRobbie, H, Purves, R, Bauld, L

“…The study raises a number of issues for future research including (1) examining the role of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) in smoking cessation for service clients [this study did not look at e-cigarette use (except briefly in the longer-term NRT study) but this is a priority for future studies]; (2) more detailed comparisons of rolling groups with other forms of behavioural support; (3) further exploration of the role of practitioner knowledge, skills and use of effective behaviour change techniques in supporting service clients to stop smoking; (4) surveillance of the impact of structural and funding changes on the future development and sustainability of SSSs; and (5) more detailed analysis of well-being over time between those who successfully stop smoking and those who relapse. Further research on longer-term use of non-combustible nicotine products that measures a wider array of biomarkers of smoking-related harm such as lung function tests or carcinogen metabolites.The National Institute for Health Research Health Technology Assessment programme. …”

Identification and characterisation of novel SMAD2/3 binding partners underlying pancreatic cancer cell plasticity by Ervin, E-H

Understanding and modulating vessel formation in human rotator cuff tendon disease by Baldwin, M

“…Produced by electrospinning these scaffolds and can alter cellular phenotypes through the provision of topographical cues. The successful tailoring of such biomaterials demands a detailed understanding of tendon disease pathobiology and cell-material interactions, yet the role of the endothelium in tendon disease remains hitherto unexplored.…”

Assessing the capacity of unoccupied aerial systems Structure-from-Motion (UAS-SfM) for monitoring forest and fuel attributes in California, USA for improved fire hazard land manag... by Reilly, S

“…However, exacerbated by climate change and the expansion of the wilderness urban interface, over a century of federal wildfire suppression policies has given rise to elevated fuel loads in forests throughout the state such that half of California’s forestlands now require restoration. The successful application of fuels reduction treatments on such a broad landscape scale depends highly upon targeting management efforts using accurate maps of fuel loading. …”

Cannabinoid type 1 receptor antagonists for smoking cessation. by Cahill, K, Ussher, M

Bisphosphonates: the first 40 years. by Russell, R

“…The discovery and development of the bisphosphonates (BPs) as a major class of drugs for the treatment of bone diseases has been a fascinating story, and is a paradigm of a successful journey from 'bench to bedside'. Bisphosphonates are chemically stable analogues of inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi), and it was studies on the role of PPi as the body's natural 'water softener' in the control of soft tissue and skeletal mineralisation that led to the need to find inhibitors of calcification that would resist hydrolysis by alkaline phosphatase. …”
