“…The Composite Sample Complex accounts for the co-occurrence of both plasmids and chromosomes within an isolate, and highlights likely gene donors and recipients. From the validated model, we demonstrate frequent transposition events of&nbsp;<em>bla</em>_KPC&nbsp;from plasmids to other plasmids, as well as integration into the bacterial chromosome within specific drains. …”

The role of recoverability in the implementation of non-phonemic glottalization in Hawaiian by Davidson, L, Parker Jones, O

The impact and effectiveness of local content policy on oil exploration and production in Brazil by de Almeida, E, Martinez-Prieto, D

“…Shifting from an approach that penalizes non-compliance to one that rewards operators who exceed commitments would likely represent a more effective incentive structure. …”

Forecasting green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) landing in Sarawak using grey model by Abang Mohammad Hudzaifah Abang Shakawi, Ani Shabri, Ruhana Hassan

“…The model also suggested that the current conditions will likely increase turtle landings. This approach will find useful applications in evaluating the conservation status of the species.…”

Nanostructure silver absorbance with polarized light spectroscopy (PLS) and mobile imaging by Liu, Xinzhi, Shafie, Suhaidi

“…However, discrepancies were observed from 500 to 600 nm, likely due to ambient light interferences and inherent optical phenomena such as diffraction, reflection, and refraction. …”

P2P energy trading among isolated microgrids in the remote area by Huang, Rui

“…As for the power supply in remote areas, the traditional transmission method by using the central grid has the drawbacks of large transmission loss and long transmission lines, which are easy to be broken. At the same time, there are areas where electricity is not available because of costly transmission losses, for the transmission networks are not yet widespread. …”

Induction of apoptosis and the signalling pathways involved by dillenia suffruticosa dichloromethane root extract in mcf-7 and mda-mb-231 breast cancer cells by Foo, Jhi Biau

“…DCMDS induced apoptosis and oxidative stress in these two cell lines. Treatment with α- tocopherol reduced the cytotoxicity of DCM-DS at 50 µg/mL in the cells, suggesting that DCM-DS induced lipid peroxidation to destroy the cancer cells. …”

Temporal and spatial characteristics of the Beaufort Sea ambient noise environment by Chen, R., Schmidt, H.

“…The observed events are grouped into three categories—short-time-broadband, long-time-narrowband, and long-time-broadband—each likely generated through a different mechanism by the ice cover. …”

Individual subject meta-analysis of parameters for Giardia duodenalis shedding in animal experimental models by Adell, A. D., Miller, W. A., Harvey, D. J., Van Wormer, E., Wuertz, S., Conrad, P. A.

“…This study suggests inoculation of the experimental host with cysts rather than trophozoites and administration of higher doses of Giardia will most likely result in cyst shedding. Based on the results of this meta-analysis, the infective stage (cyst versus trophozoite), parasite dose, and the interactions between dose and infective stage, as well as dose and species of experimental host, should be considered when designing experimental dose response studies that will assist in the study of zoonotic neglected tropical diseases globally.…”

Accident severity levels and traffic signs interactions in state roads : a seemingly unrelated regression model in unbalanced panel data approach by Xu, Xuecai, Šarić, Željko, Zhu, Feng, Babić, Dario

“…Results revealed that (1) low visibility and the number of invalid traffic signs per km increased the accident rate of material damage, death or injured; (2) average speed limit exhibited a high accident rate of death or injured; (3) the number of mandatory signs was more likely to reduce the accident rate of material damage, while the number of warning signs was significant for accident rate of death or injured.…”

Population-specific adaptation in malaria-endemic regions of Asia by Gusareva, Elena S., Lorenzini, Paolo Alberto, Nurul Adilah Ramli, Ghosh, Amit Gourav, Kim, Hie Lim

“…Interestingly, most of the identified genes (82%) were found to be under selection in a single population group, while adaptive genes shared across populations were rare. This is likely due to the independent adaptation history in different endemic populations. …”
