Participants were assigned to one of three groups based on diagnostic status for youths who: i) retained an anxiety diagnosis from post to end point (minimal responders); ii) remitted anxiety diagnoses at post but relapsed by end point (relapsed responders); and iii) retained a diagnosis at post but remitted to be diagnosis free at end point (delayed responders). …”

Multicenter double-blind study evaluating AI-driven detection of proximal deep vein thrombosis by Curry, N, Allen, E, Silsby, L, Goodacre, S, Deane, C, Deary, A, Foster, A, Griffiths, J, Sharma, R, Thomas, H, Mischewitz, S, Al-Noor, F

A study of human monoclonal antibodies to influenza and ebola viruses by Rijal, P

“…The response was more diverse, employing a wide selection of VH/L genes, and was directed at multiple epitopes in at least three distinct regions on the GP. Despite these features, half of the antibodies neutralised an Ebola surrogate virus <em>in vitro</em>, and many were therapeutic in a murine infection model. …”

The impact of natural climate variability on the global distribution of Aedes aegypti: a mathematical modelling study by Kaye, AR, Obolski, U, Sun, L, Hart, WS, Hurrell, JW, Tildesley, MJ, Thompson, RN

“…Each of these scenarios corresponds to a single climate projection, allowing us to explore the difference in Ae aegypti suitability between the most-suitable and the least-suitable projections. <p><b>Findings</b></p> Our key finding was that natural climate variability generates substantial variation in future projections of environmental suitability for Ae aegypti. …”

Effects of particle sizes on total catechin content and antioxidant activity of Musa paradisiaca inflorescence using supercritical carbon dioxide (SFE-CO2)) extraction by Qing, Chong Xiu, Hean, Chong Gun, Nik Hadzir, Noor Hadzuin

“…The results indicated that the smallest particles (450 - 600 µm) exhibited the highest total oil extraction yield (29.40 ± 7.95%) at 60°C; 45 M Pa, while 850 µm - 1600μm particles had the least (9.54 ± 1.60%) at 40°C; 45MPa. Extraction efficacy of SFE-CO2 at 45MPa; 60°C demonstrated a comparable effect (p &amp;gt; 0.05) to the 10-hour Sox let extraction. …”

“…The rainfall variable (extreme) was the most important in classifying the leptospirosis occurrence while streamflow was the least important despite showing higher correlations with leptospirosis.…”

Studies of seed-borne fungi of tropical pasture legume species by Nik, WZ, Parbery, DG

“…P. sorghina was also found in embryo and cotyledonary tissue and survived in infected seed for at least 5 years. One storage fungus, Aspergillus ruber, was a seed (embryo) pathogen. …”

Modelling and experimental analysis of aero-engine performance and exhaust emission characteristics fueled with green fuel blends by Abu Talib, Abd Rahim, S. M. Altarazi, Yazan, Yu, Jianglong, Gires, Ezanee, Fahmi Abdul Ghafir, Mohd, Tahmasebi, Arash, Yusaf, Talal, Alsultan, Abdulkareem G., Yunus, Robiah

“…GD10PME10 produced the lowest NOx (12.5 ppm) at maximum speed, while Jet-A1 emitted the least NOx (7.5 ppm) at 120 k RPM. Overall, the data suggested that green fuel might increase the physiochemical properties of biodiesel blends, hence improving the fuel's capacity to burn more effectively in aero-engines.…”

Engineering Escherichia coli to assimilate β-alanine as a major carbon source by Poon, Nga Y., Sinskey, Anthony J., Zhou, Kang

“…Since MSA is a toxic aldehyde, β-alanine was chosen as a surrogate substrate in this study to construct the lower part of the proposed pathway. To this end, we successfully engineered E. coli MG1655 to assimilate β-alanine as the major carbon source. β-alanine could be easily converted into MSA using a β-alanine/pyruvate transaminase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PaBapt). …”
