Hodge theory and its applications to molecular data analysis by Koh, Ronald Joon Wei

“…We first show that HodgeRank can also be used to successfully quantify the ``curvedness'' of different biomolecules, such as modelling the protein folding process and comparing biomolecules of different scales and complexities. We then turn our attention back to Hi-C data, which encompasses TADs/TAD regions. …”

Negative auto-regulation of myostatin expression is mediated by SMAD3 and microRNA-27 by Ge, XiaoJia, McFarlane, Craig, Vajjala, Anuradha, Arigela, Harikumar, Lokireddy, Sudarsanareddy, Bonala, Sabeera, Manickam, Ravikumar, Kambadur, Ravi, Sharma, Mridula

“…These data highlight a novel auto-regulatory mechanism in which Mstn, via Smad3 signaling, regulates miR-27a/b and in turn its own expression. In support, Mstn-mediated inhibition of Mstn 3′ UTR reporter activity was reversed upon miR-27a/b-specific AntagomiR transfection. …”

Understanding customer retrials in call centers: preferences for service quality and service speed by Hu, K, Allon, G, Bassamboo, A

“…<p><strong> Managerial implications:</p></strong> First, our research highlights the importance of recognizing customers’ off-line decisions, which are impacted by online service offerings and, in turn, affect future online service operations. Neglecting customer retrials leads to suboptimal service designs. …”

Attack strategies in birds of prey by Brighton, C

“…It has been proposed that the head is held in line with the body for streamlining, while the body is turned in flight to fixate the image of the prey on the deep fovea, resulting in a curved trajectory. …”

Psychiatric comorbidities in persons with epilepsy compared with persons without epilepsy: a systematic review and meta-analysis by Kwon, C-S, Rafati, A, Ottman, R, Christensen, J, Kanner, AM, Jetté, N, Newton, CR

Identification of mechanism of cancer-cell-specific reactivation of hTERT offers therapeutic opportunities for blocking telomerase specifically in human colorectal cancer by Akıncılar, Semih Can, Chua, Joelle Yi Heng, Ng, Qin Feng, Chan, Claire Hian Tzer, Eslami-S, Zahra, Chen, Kaijing, Low, Joo-Leng, Arumugam, Surendar, Aswad, Luay, Chua, Clarinda, Tan, Iain Beehuat, DasGupta, Ramanuj, Fullwood, Melissa Jane, Tergaonkar, Vinay

“…Elevated β-catenin and JunD level in CRC facilitates chromatin interaction between hTERT promoter and T-INT2 that is necessary to turn on hTERTexpression. Pharmacological screens uncovered salinomycin, which inhibits JunD mediated hTERT-T-INT2 interaction that is required for the formation of a stable transcription complex on the hTERT promoter. …”

Exhibiting Southeast Asia in the cultural Cold War: geopolitics of regional art exhibitions (1940s-1980s) by Ditzig Kathleen Elizabeth Li-Ying

“…Exhibiting Southeast Asia in the Cultural Cold War studies these exhibitions through focusing on what I term the bureaucracy of exhibition-making, wherein archival traces make visible the geopolitics and other agonisms that define the exhibitionary process. This in turn reveals how exhibition-makers were able to engage with and even influence the international order while still functioning within local and regional art worlds—in museums, art associations and art centers—and without official political station. …”

Sound event recognition in unstructured environments using spectrogram image processing by Dennis, Jonathan William

“…In the first study, a method for robust sound classification is developed called the Spectrogram Image Feature (SIF), which is based on a global image feature extracted directly from the time-frequency spectrogram of the sound. This in turn leads to the development of a novel sound event image representation called the Subband Power Distribution (SPD) image. …”
