Reconstituting ring-rafts in bud-mimicking topography of model membranes by Ryu, Yong-Sang, Lee, In-Ho, Suh, Jeng-Hun, Park, Seung Chul, Oh, Soojung, Jordan, Luke R., Wittenberg, Nathan J., Oh, Sang-Hyun, Jeon, Noo Li, Lee, Byoungho, Parikh, Atul N., Lee, Sin-Doo

“…In all cases, in addition to the generation or relief of the curvature stress, the buds recruit specific lipids and proteins from the donor membrane through restricted diffusion for the development of a ring-type raft domain of closed topology. Here, by reconstituting the bud topography in a model membrane, we demonstrate the preferential localization of cholesterol- and sphingomyelin-enriched microdomains in the collar band of the bud-neck interfaced with the donor membrane. …”

Urban vulnerability assessment of sea level rise in Singapore through the World Avatar by Phua, Shin Zert, Lee, Kok Foong, Tsai, Yi-Kai, Ganguly, Srishti, Yan, Jingya, Mosbach, Sebastian, Ng, Trina, Moise, Aurel, Horton, Benjamin Peter, Kraft, Markus

“…This paper explores the application of The World Avatar (TWA) dynamic knowledge graph to connect isolated data and assess the impact of rising sea levels in Singapore. Current sea level rise vulnerability assessment tools are often regional, narrow in scope (e.g., economic or cultural aspects only), and are inadequate in representing complex non-geospatial data consistently. …”

Neural abstractive summarization: improvements at the sequence-level by Ravaut, Mathieu

“…Abstractive summarization was stuck in faltering steps until the joint rise of encoder-decoder sequence-to-sequence neural networks, and large-scale annotated datasets, starting from the mid 2010s.
