A temperature-dependent virus-binding assay reveals the presence of neutralising antibodies in human cytomegalovirus gB vaccine recipients’ sera by Gomes, Ariane, Baraniak, Ilona, McIntosh, Megan, Sodi, Isabella, Langstone, Tony, Siddiqui, Saima, Atkinson, Claire, McLean, Gary R., Griffiths, Paul D., Reeves, Matthew B.

“…We go on to show that this is not a general feature of gB neutralizing antibodies suggesting specific antibody responses induced by vaccination could be important. Although we can find no evidence that these neutralizing antibody responses are a correlate of protection in vivo in transplant recipients their identification demonstrate the utility of the approach in identifying these responses. …”

Marta Czok ARCHĪVUM by Scarso, Jacek Ludwig, Czok, Marta

“…Each work is a standing document, but also part of a compendium of memories made, in this case, of images and narratives that intertwine with one another, as if they were branches of a tree – itself a symbol that we frequently find in Marta Czok's works. For Palazzo Mathis in Bra, this concept became the stimulus for a retrospective exhibition that looked at the artist's overall work, highlighting particular moments through a selection of four themes: AURUM (gold representations), CIVITAS (scenes of social life), VENUS (female representations), URBS (cityscapes). …”

Reflex inhibition of the human quadriceps in the presence of knee joint damage by Stokes, Maria

“…The nature of reflex inhibition has been studied in patients undergoing arthrotomy and meniscectomy in order to find ways of preventing inhibition. The maximal voluntary activation (MVA) of quadriceps was recorded, using surface integrated electromyography, during straight leg isometric contractions before end after surgery. …”

Modelling cross-docking in a three-level supply chain with stochastic service and queuing system: MOWFA algorithm by Rostami, Parinaz, Avakh Darestani, Soroush, Movassaghi, Mitra

“…Therefore, three metaheuristics, including multi‐objective water flow, non‐dominated sorting genetic, and a multi‐objective simulated annealing algorithm have been used to find near‐optimal solutions to the problem. After adjusting the parameters of the algorithms using the Taguchi method, the results obtained from the algorithms were analyzed with a statistical test and the performance of the algorithms was evaluated. …”
