Predicting the antigenicity and reassortment probability of influenza viruses by Ong, Wenqi

“…Numerous studies have shown that influenza viruses possess the ability commonly known as influenza reassortment, In this process, viruses rearrange their genetic components to produce never-before-seen genome combinations which render current vaccines ineffective. With data and knowledge on the influenza virus becoming more abundant and accessible in the field of bioinformatics, there is accordingly an increase in the development of computational models for analysis and prediction based on various characteristics of the influenza virus, such as influenza antigenicity. …”

Antibody Fab‐Fc properties outperform titer in predictive models of SIV vaccine‐induced protection by Pittala, Srivamshi, Bagley, Kenneth, Schwartz, Jennifer A., Brown, Eric P., Weiner, Joshua A., Prado, Ilia J., Zhang, Wenlei, Xu, Rong, Ota‐Setlik, Ayuko, Pal, Ranajit, Shen, Xiaoying, Beck, Charles, Ferrari, Guido

“…Systems analyses modeling protection and adjuvant differences using Fab‐Fc Array measurements revealed a set of correlates yielding strong and robust predictive performance, while models based on measurements of response magnitude alone exhibited significantly inferior performance. At the same time, rendering Fab‐Fc measurements mathematically independent of titer had relatively little impact on predictive performance. …”

Building 'Tilesy' : a lean tile map editor in unity by Chen, Chin Jieh

“…The many features natively supported by Unity naturally presents an opportunity to ignore lower-level concerns normally present in application development, such as event systems, input handling, rendering, user interface and so on. As an external application that exports data readable by ‘Game Editor’ – which in itself is built on Unity – Tilesy provides a grid-based interface and supports the saving and loading of tile maps, customizable tilesets, custom parameter support, and automatic tile selection for ease of boundary tile placement between two perceivable environments with a simplified implementation of the Tile Bitmasking methodology. …”

Legislating instability: Adam Smith, free banking, and the financial crisis of 1722 by Goodspeed, T

“…In support of previous research on Scottish “free banking,” I find that this absence of legal restrictions on Scottish banking contributed to a proliferation of what Adam Smith derisively referred to as “beggarly bankers” which rendered the Scottish financial system both intensely competitive and remarkably resilient to a series of severe adverse shocks to the small developing economy. …”
