Production of single-chain variable fragment epidermal growth factor receptor (scFv-EGFR) antibody by Loh, Valerie Kai Li.

“…Results show that the antibody product may not have been produced successfully using the initial expression system due to recurring inconclusive results from purification and characterisation procedures. However, with the use of pSYN1/TG1 expression system and protocol, Western blot results appear to show positive production of scFv-EGFR B10 (synthetic optimized sequence), and specific affinity of the scFv-EGFR B10 antibody product to EGFR is proven.…”

Machine-learning-assisted design of high strength steel I-section columns by Cheng, Jinpeng, Li, Xuelai, Jiang, Ke, Li, Shuai, Su, Andi, Zhao, Ou

“…Based on the data in the collected database, the regression model trained by Categorical Boosting and existing codified design provisions, as given in the European code and American specification, were assessed and compared. The European code and American specification were found to yield scattered and inaccurate failure load predictions, while the Categorical Boosting trained model led to substantially more accurate and consistent failure load predictions for high strength steel I-section columns with different material grades, boundary conditions, geometric dimensions and failure modes.…”
