Smart sensor-based pillbox for polypharmacy management by Kum, Brandon Zhi Wei

“…Research has shown that patients forgetting or deciding not to consume a dose is the most important cause of poor adherence amidst many other contributing factors. Current solutions available out there are focused solely on combating two of the many factors that contributes to poor medication adherence/nonadherence however medication adherence is a complex problem with multi contributing factors. …”

A novel method for segmenting growth of cells in sheared endothelial culture reveals the secretion of an anti-inflammatory mediator by Ghim, Mean, Pang, Kuin T., Arshad, Mehwish, Wang, Xiaomeng, Weinberg, Peter D.

“…A flaw in this class of experiments is that cells exposed to a certain shear profile in one location may release mediators into the medium that alter the behaviour of cells at another location, experiencing different shear, thus obscuring or corrupting the true relation between shear and cell properties. …”

Investigation of the effects of codeposition of tin on the suppression of hydrogen evolution in nickel electrodeposition system by Tan, Ronald Teck Ee

“…Regardless of PEG or MSA addition, the non-adherent deposit remained unsolved. Adding sulphuric acid to the solution was proposed for future experiment and investigation as it may eliminate the issue of non-adherent deposits, therefore allowing the continuation of the investigation of the effects of co-depositing tin on hydrogen suppression.…”

Cytisine versus varenicline for smoking cessation in a primary care setting: a randomized non-inferiority trial by Oreskovic, T, Percac-Lima, S, Ashburner, JM, Tiljak, H, Rifel, J, Klemenc Ketiš, Z, Oreskovic, S

“…Of 191 participants assigned to varenicline treatment 59.16% (113) were adherent, while 70.43% (131 of 186) were adherent in the cytisine group (OR: 1.65, 95% CI: 1.07 to 2.56). …”

Vortex-induced vibrations of a cylinder with tripping wires by Hover, F.S., Tvedt, H., Triantafyllou, M.S.

“…The flow-induced response of a flexibly mounted cylinder with attached wires is significantly altered as well, even far away from lock-in. Parameterizing the response using nominal reduced velocity Vrn = U/fnD, we found that frequency lock-in occurs and lift phase angles change through 180deg at Vrn=4.9; anemometry in the wake confirms that a mode transition accompanies this premature lock-in. …”
