Comparison of models to predict incident chronic liver disease: a systematic review and external validation in Chinese adults by Cong, X, Song, S, Li, Y, Song, K, MacLeod, C, Cheng, Y, Lv, J, Yu, C, Sun, D, Pei, P, Yang, L, Chen, Y, Millwood, I, Wu, S, Yang, X, Stevens, R, Chen, J, Chen, Z, Li, L, Kartsonaki, C, Pang, Y

“…Models with high discrimination (C-index ≥ 0.70) in CKB were as follows: (1) general population: Li-2018 and Wen 1–2012 for HCC, CLivD score (non-lab and lab) and dAAR for CLD; (2) hepatitis B virus (HBV) infected individuals: Cao-2021 for HCC and CAP-B for CLD. In CKB, all models tended to overestimate the risk (O:E ratio 0.55–0.94). …”

Behaviors of floating droplet by Kan, Kah Hou

“…Investigation reveals the formation and transition of flow pattern and vorticity originates from the complex thermo-solutal Marangoni convection induced by the evaporating cap. A droplet forming two stable axis-symmetrical counter circulating flow during evaporation is seen to collapse into a large rotating vortical flow non-periodically. …”

Indefinite metamaterials for optical applications by Bisht, Ankit

“…Further, fabrication of diffraction-limited objects for both Superlensing (slits on film) and hyperlensing (slits on curved Cr-caps) are presented. These results are important for making progress in the realization of real-time bio-molecular imaging systems, eliminating the need for near-field scanning, destructive electron microscopy and various image post-processing techniques.…”

The GCSE attainment gap: assessing the influence of permanent school exclusion by Hills, Stephen, Walker, Matthew, Guinn, James, Kent, Aubrey

“…Using the National Pupil Database and a full cohort of UK pupils (N=590,092), our analysis tracked a sample of 1,490 pupils permanently excluded in year 11 of the English education system in 2018/19. Using capped GCSE points as the academic attainment variable, we find that permanently excluded pupil scores were nearly 25 points lower than their non-permanently excluded peers. …”
