Certified grasping by Aceituno-Cabezas, Bernardo, Ballester, Jose, Rodriguez, Alberto

“…We develop convex-combinatorial models for each of these certificates, which can be expressed as simple semi-algebraic relations under mild-modeling assumptions, such as point-fingers and frictionless contact. …”

Cyclodextrin-functionalized thiophene-based copolymers and their guest-host recognition behaviour by Soheila Bahmanjah.

“…These copolymers are quantitatively and rapidly converted into functionalized polymers under mild conditions by post polymerization reactions with 6^A-amino-6^A-alpha-deoxy-cyclodextrin and 6^A-amino-6^A-beta-deoxy-cyclodextrin.These polythiophene derivatives exhibit a highly conjugated form in the solid state at room temperature and their molecular recognition behaviour has been investigated. …”

Virtual reality for medical application II by Yang, Cheng Yee

“…The project presents the use of Virtual Reality system combines with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in helping users or patients who have a mild-to-moderate mental health problem. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy considered as a new approach to psychotherapy that alleviates “bad” emotions and some minor mental illness with the use of a combination of cognitive and behavioral therapies. …”

New insights into the genetic etiology of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias by Bellenguez, C, Küçükali, F, Jansen, IE, Amin, N, Ahmad, S, Lovestone, S, Smith, AD, Warden, D, Wilcock, G, Laitinen, T, van Duijn, CM

“…We also built a new genetic risk score associated with the risk of future AD/dementia or progression from mild cognitive impairment to AD/dementia. The improvement in prediction led to a 1.6- to 1.9-fold increase in AD risk from the lowest to the highest decile, in addition to effects of age and the <i>APOE</i> ε4 allele.…”

Human herpesvirus 6 and 7 by Drysdale, S

“…Both HHV-6 and HHV-7 tend to produce mild self-limiting illness in immunocompetent children that typically develops in late infancy and early childhood. …”

The neurological consequences of contracting COVID-19 by Aknin, LB, De Neve, JE, Dunn, EW, Fancourt, DE, Goldberg, E, Helliwell, JF, Jones, SP, Karam, E, Layard, R, Lyubomirsky, S, Rzepa, A, Saxena, S, Thornton, EM, VanderWeele, TJ, Whillans, AV, Zaki, J, Caman, O, Amor, YB

“…Specifically, early evidence suggests that COVID-19 has both mild (e.g., loss of smell (anosmia), loss of taste (ageusia), latent blinks (heterophila), headaches, dizziness, confusion) and more severe outcomes (e.g., cognitive impairments, seizures, delirium, psychosis, strokes). …”

Vision-language-model-based video quality assessment by Zhang, Erli

“…This work not only advances the state-of-the-art in VQA but also sets the stage for future research in evaluating and enhancing the quality of in-the-wild videos.…”

The role of growth factor receptor bound protein 2 (GRB2) in gain of function of mutant p53. by Lau, Sok Ting.

“…Several mutant p53 have been shown to have dominant phenotype over wild-type p53. Studies have attributed the ability of mutant p53 to acquire oncogenic properties such as cell proliferation, metastasis as a “gain-of-function”. …”

Mycobacterium tuberculosis drug resistance detection by pyrosequencing method by Goh, Mei Ling

“…The commonly known mutations on the 81-bp core region of rpoB were sequenced in two reactions to obtain quality reads. Validation with wild type M. tuberculosis genomic DNA and synthetic mutant sequences showed pyrograms with low background and was highly specific. …”

Extending material cognition to primate tool use by Mosley, H, Haslam, M

“…We illustrate this suggestion with examples from the tool use behaviour of wild monkeys and chimpanzees. Non-human primate social groups develop bodies of traditional knowledge, and we consider whether idiosyncratic expression of such knowledge may be viewed in terms of an individual's constructed social identity. …”

Host genetics maps to behaviour and brain structure in developmental mice by Asbury, S, Lai, JKY, Rilett, KC, Haqqee, Z, Darwin, BC, Ellegood, J, Lerch, JP, Foster, JA

“…The behavioral phenotype of 1060 wild type and genetically-modified mice was examined followed by structural brain imaging at 4 weeks of age. …”

The king of fruits by Thorogood, CJ, Ghazalli, MN, Siti‐Munirah, MY, Nikong, D, Kusuma, YWC, Sudarmono, S, Witono, JR

“…We suggest that further research into obscure wild relatives and local cultivars, will be important in the context of growing international demand for durian, coupled with an increasing reliance on commercial cultivars of this economically and culturally important fruit. …”

SNeS: learning probably symmetric neural surfaces from incomplete data by Insafutdinov, E, Campbell, D, Henriques, JF, Vedaldi, A

“…A major shortcoming of such approaches is that they fail to reconstruct any part of the object which is not clearly visible in the training image, which is often the case for in-the-wild images and videos. When evidence is lacking, structural priors such as symmetry can be used to complete the missing information. …”

2H-azirines as potential bifunctional chemical linkers of cysteine residues in bioconjugate technology by Chen, Yang, Yang, Wenjie, Wu, Jiamin, Sun, Wangbin, Loh, Teck-Peng, Jiang, Yaojia

“…2H-Azirine-2-caboxamides have been designed to perform as a new type of bifunctional thiol linker under very mild reaction conditions. The cleavage of a C-N double bond of 2H-azirine furnishes an amino amide functional group in situ through a thiol addition and ring-opening process. …”

Molecular interactions between Parkin and FBXO7 and links with induced dopaminergic neuron degeneration in Parkinson's disease. by Tang, Alyssa Meiyan.

“…The FCCP treatment concentration and time was optimized to minimize cell death and induce mild levels of mitophagy. Using the conditions optimized we found that FBXO7, a protein not previously linked to mitophagy, plays a role in promoting mitophagy after treating with low concentrations of FCCP. …”
