Comparison of diabetic and non-diabetic human leukocytic responses to different capsule types of klebsiella pneumoniae responsible for causing pyogenic liver abscess by Lee, I. Russel, Sng, Ethel, Lee, Kok-Onn, Molton, James S., Chan, Monica, Kalimuddin, Shirin, Izharuddin, Ezlyn, Lye, David C., Archuleta, Sophia, Gan, Yunn-Hwen

“…DNA and myeloperoxidase levels were elevated in the plasma of KLA patients compared to uninfected individuals indicating neutrophil activation, but diabetic status had no effect on these neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) biomarkers in both subject groups. Clinical hvKP isolates universally stimulated KLA patient neutrophils to produce NETs ex vivo, regardless of host diabetic status. …”

Combating Household Bankruptcy: Developing a New Integrated Financial Education Model for Malaysian (S/O 13585) by Sawandi, Norfaiezah, Abu Bakar, Abu Sufian, Shaari, Hasnah, Amran, Noor Afza, Saad, Ram Al Jaffri

“…Meanwhile, it is observed that main factors that lead to poor financial/debts management are lack of financial knowledge and skills, lack of discipline in managing or paying debts, poor self-control, inability or not afford to pay loans/debts as the amount of payments are too much as compared to amount of income earned as well as greed which cause someone to be trapped in financial scams such as ponzi scheme. Finally, the study has developed the new integrated, holistic financial education model, which has three vital elements, that aims to create a financial literate or savvy society who are competent and able to apply knowledge, as well as have the right attitude, skills, knowledge, and habits to make effective financial decisions and are able to avoid being the victims of financial fraud or scam.…”

Probabilistic Volumetric Fusion for Dense Monocular SLAM by Rosinol, Antoni, Leonard, John J., Carlone, Luca

“…We show that the resulting depth uncertainty provides an excellent signal to weight the depth-maps for volumetric fusion. Without our depth uncertainty, the resulting mesh is noisy and with artifacts, while our approach generates an accurate 3D mesh with significantly fewer artifacts. …”
