Potential of emodepside for vector-borne disease control by Khemrattrakool, P, Hongsuwong, T, Phanphoowong, T, Sriwichai, P, Poovorawan, K, Tarning, J, Kobylinski, KC

“…The An. dirus emodepside LC50 was 4,623 [4,159–5,066] ng/ml which is > 100-fold greater than the peak concentrations seen in human. The ivermectin and emodepside co-feed experiment with An. dirus did not indicate any altered effect of ivermectin on mosquito survival when emodepside co-fed at human Cmax or five times that of the human Cmax. …”

Modulation of visual-motor responses by the perception of object affordance, automatic imitation and action agency by Pereira Lima, R

“…The result suggested that, at least for error rates, when the relationship between an object and its action-related stimulus is explicit, affordances can elicit an attentional bias towards a representation of the action that a recently seen object affords.</p> <p>In Chapter 3, I investigated the temporal aspects of automatic imitation focusing on the discussion regarding the stage of information processing where the interfering effects of observing an incongruent action takes place. …”

The emergence of DNAM-1 as the facilitator of NK cell-mediated killing in ovarian cancer by Pounds, R, Croft, W, Pearce, H, Hossain, T, Singh, K, Balega, J, Jeevan, DN, Sundar, S, Kehoe, S, Yap, J, Moss, P, Zuo, J

“…Discussion: These findings reveal profound modulation of the tumour tissue and systemic profile of NK cells which likely contributes to the high rates of local progression and metastasis seen with OC. Immunotherapeutic approaches that overcome local immune suppression and enhance DNAM-1-targeted lysis of OC offer the potential to improve disease control.…”

A feline model of spontaneously occurring autoimmune limbic encephalitis by Glantschnigg-Eisl, U, Klang, A, Kneissl, S, Lang, B, Waters, P, Irani, SR, Binks, SNM, Pakozdy, A

“…Among feline AE patients, there was no seizure type or other clinical characteristic that could distinguish LGI1-antibody positive from negative cats, unlike the pathognomic faciobrachial dystonic seizures seen in humans. Although six cats were euthanased in the first year for epilepsy-associated reasons, those attaining at least 1-year survival had good seizure control and quality of life with appropriate veterinary care and medication. …”

The early struggle of black internationalism: intellectual interchanges among American and French black writers during the interwar period by Gaetan, M

“…Black internationalism during the interwar period can be seen as a circuit of interconnections which resulted in multifaceted and shifting identifications encompassing national and transnational affiliations as well as, sometimes, a cosmopolitan sense of belonging. …”

Non-stationary modeling of seasonal precipitation series in Turkey: estimating the plausible range of seasonal extremes by Tosunoglu, F, Slater, LJ, Kowal, KM, Gu, X, Yin, J

“…In particular, the NCPI was seen as a significant predictor during the winter, while the MOI captured precipitation variability well across the country during autumn and summer. …”

A high‐resolution AUV navigation framework with integrated communication and tracking for under‐ice deployments by Randeni, Supun, Schneider, Toby, Bhatt, EeShan C., Víquez, Oscar A., Schmidt, Henrik

“…To decouple the contributions from the HydroMAN and ICNN subsystems towards a stable navigation solution, this article evaluates them separately: (1) HydroMAN was compared against DVL bottom‐track aided INS during pre‐ICEX20 engineering trials where both systems provided similar accuracy; (2) ICNN was evaluated by conducting a static experiment in the Arctic where the ICNN navigation updates were compared against GPS with ICNN error within low tens of meters. The joint HydroMAN‐ICNN framework was tested during ICEX20, which provided a nondiverging high‐resolution navigation solution—with the majority of error below 15 m—that facilitated a successful AUV recovery through a small ice hole after an 11 km untethered run in the upper and mid‐water column.…”

Targeted pancreatic beta cell imaging for early diagnosis by Cong, Goh Zheng, Ghosh, Krishna Kanta, Mishra, Sachin, Gulyás, Miklós, Kovács, Tibor, Máthé, Domokos, Padmanabhan, Parasuraman, Gulyás, Balázs

“…Using bioimaging techniques to measure beta cell mass is crucial because a decrease in beta cell density is seen in diseases such as diabetes and thus can be a new way of diagnosis for such diseases. …”

Bio-mimicking acellular wet electrospun scaffolds promote accelerated integration and re-epithelialization of full-thickness dermal wounds by Chin, Jiah Shin, Madden, Leigh, Phillips, Anthony R. J., Chew, Sing Yian, Becker, David Lawrence

“…The 3D PCL/Coll scaffolds impeded wound re-epithelisation, inducing a thickening of wound-edge epidermis as opposed to a thin tongue of migratory keratinocytes as seen when 3D PCL scaffolds were implanted in the wounds. …”

Error measurements for a quantum annealer using the one-dimensional Ising model with twisted boundaries by Chancellor, Nicholas, Crowley, Philip J. D., Durić, Tanja, Vinci, Walter, Amin, Mohammad H., Green, Andrew G., Warburton, Paul A., Aeppli, Gabriel

“…The noise measured in this fashion is smaller than what is seen during the single-qubit tuning process, but nonetheless qualitatively affects the outcome of the simulation performed by the annealer.…”

Case report: the 'vanished' left pulmonary artery by Chan, Charmaine Jiahui, Kotecha, Monika Kantilal, Choo, Jonathan Tze Liang, Fortier, Marielle V., Sundararaghavan, Sreekanthan

“…He was initially diagnosed post-natally with ‘absent left pulmonary artery’ (LPA), though the LPA was seen in antenatal scans. He underwent angiography and was re-diagnosed with bilateral arterial ducts, with ductal origin of the LPA from the left arterial duct. …”
