A comparative analysis of ENCODE and Cistrome in the context of TF binding signal by Perna, Stefano, Pinoli, Pietro, Ceri, Stefano, Wong, Limsoon

“…Results: We provide evidence that data points with high signalValue(s) (top 25% of values) are more likely to be consistent between ENCODE and Cistrome in human cell lines K562, GM12878, and HepG2. In addition, we show that filtering according to said high values improves the quality of predictions for a machine learning algorithm that detects transcription factor interactions based only on positional information. …”

Temperature and Cognitive Performance: Evidence from Mental Arithmetic Training by Krebs, Benjamin

“…Using data from 31,000 individuals and 1.15 million games played, I analyze frequent engagement in a cognitively challenging task in a non-stressful and familiar environment. I find that, above a threshold of 16.5∘ C, a 1∘ C increase in outside air temperature leads to a performance reduction of 0.13%. …”

Subnanometric osmium clusters confined on palladium metallenes for enhanced hydrogen evolution and oxygen reduction catalysis by Prabhu, P., Do, Viet-Hung, Yoshida, Takefumi, Zhou, Yingtang, Ariga-Miwa, Hiroko, Kaneko, Takuma, Uruga, Tomoya, Iwasawa, Yasuhiro, Lee, Jong-Min

“…Here, we leverage a facile heterostructure design strategy to construct atomically thin Os@Pd metallenes, with atomic-scale Os nanoclusters of varying geometries confined on the surface layer of the Pd lattice, which exhibit excellent bifunctional properties for catalyzing both hydrogen evolution (HER) and oxygen reduction reactions (ORR). Importantly, Os5%@Pd metallenes manifest a low η10 overpotential of only 11 mV in 1.0 M KOH electrolyte (HER) as well as a highly positive E1/2 potential of 0.92 V in 0.1 M KOH (ORR), along with superior mass activities and electrochemical durability. …”
