Exploring the regulation of myofilament function in the heart using experimental and computational approaches by Folkmanaite, M

“…Dysregulation of cAMP-dependent, PKA-mediated phosphorylation of myofilament proteins, such as troponin I (TNI) and myosin binding protein C (MYBPC), contributes to cardiac pathologies like heart failure. Current therapies, such as beta-blockers and phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors, often lack specificity and have adverse effects. …”

A benchtop induction-based AC magnetometer for a fast characterization of magnetic nanoparticles by Mohd Mawardi, Saari, Mohd Herwan, Sulaiman, Hamzah, Ahmad, Nurul Akmal, Che Lah, Sakai, Kenji, Kiwa, Toshihiko, Tsukada, Keiji

“…In the pickup coil design, the number of turns and coil section separation are varied from 200 to 400 turns, and 1 to 4 sections, respectively. We find that the usable frequency range is greatly affected by the pickup coil's inductance due to the self-resonance phenomena compared to their parasitic capacitance. …”

GWTC-2.1: Deep extended catalog of compact binary coalescences observed by LIGO and Virgo during the first half of the third observing run

“…We also expand the population of binaries with significantly asymmetric mass ratios reported in GWTC-2 by an additional two events (the mass ratio is less than 0.65 and 0.44 at 90% probability for GW190403_051519 and GW190917_114630 respectively), and find that two of the eight new events have effective inspiral spins χ eff > 0 (at 90% credibility), while no binary is consistent with χ eff < 0 at the same significance. …”

Generative pretrained autoregressive transformer graph neural network applied to the analysis and discovery of novel proteins by Buehler, Markus J

“…The model is formulated as a general framework, completely prompt-based, and can be adapted for a variety of downstream tasks. We find that adding additional tasks yields emergent synergies that the model exploits in improving overall performance, beyond what would be possible by training a model on each dataset alone. …”

Topology optimization of support structure for selective laser melting process by Wu, Lingyun

“…Modelling is presented for simulation of the support structure for SLM, based on structural topology optimization. This is performed to find the best distribution of structure materials with the objectives for minimizing compliance, and subject to certain volume fraction constraint. 2) Optimization of support structure subject to heat flux load, based on thermal topology optimization methodology. …”

Essays in dynamic pricing, channel control and channel competition by Song, Boqian

“…In particular, we show the existence of a unique sub-game perfect normalized Nash equilibrium where both sellers share identical shadow prices on the constrained strategy space. We find that, at any given state, the normalized Nash equilibrium is uniquely determined by the reservation costs of distribution channels. …”

Bio-modification of sand for cement grouting by Ng, Samuel Joel Rui Ming

“…This was answered by comparing the compressive strength of lean concrete cubes made with MICP treated sea sand to lean concrete made with untreated river sand. Research was done to find its economic cost. From the results obtained, it was found that as the amount of calcium carbonate increased, the strength of the lean concrete, in other words, grout, also increased with an optimum treatment run of 2 times. …”
