Yeast9: a consensus genome-scale metabolic model for S. cerevisiae curated by the community by Zhang, Chengyu, Sánchez, Benjamín J., Li, Feiran, Cheng, Eiden Wei Quan, Scott, William T., Liebal, Ulf W., Blank, Lars M., Mengers, Hendrik G., Anton, Mihail, Rangel, Albert Tafur, Mendoza, Sebastián N., Zhang, Lixin, Nielsen, Jens, Lu, Hongzhong, Kerkhoven, Eduard J.

“…Well able to predict the strains' growth rates, fluxomics from those large-scale ssGEMs outperformed transcriptomics in predicting functional categories for all studied genes in machine learning models. Based on those findings we anticipate that Yeast9 will continue to empower systems biology studies of yeast metabolism.…”

#Hooked? Extending the social cognitive model in examining the antecedents of problematic social network sites use among Singaporean adolescents and adults by Lee, Edmund Wei Jian

“…The overall analysis showed that the social cognitive model was a viable communication model in understanding problematic SNSs use as it had good psychometric properties and all the hypothesized paths were significant. Chapter Five—which is the third study—builds upon the findings of Chapter Four by postulating that problematic SNSs use is a three-dimensional factor comprising of excessive SNSs use, withdrawal symptoms, and negative outcomes, and extends the social cognitive model to include both external- (relationship with parents) and individual-level antecedents (i.e., depression, loneliness, dependence on SNSs for identity formation, and self-reactive outcome expectations). …”
