Theoretical study of spermatozoa sorting by dielectrophoresis or magnetophoresis with supervised learning by Koh, James Boon Yong

“…By fitting the model to a tenth of the sample size required for statistical convergence, predicted results are precise and accurate to a handful of percentage points. This framework can be adopted to shortlist feasible designs of microfluidic devices before fabrication, as well as assess a wider variety of scenarios in preliminary hypotheses.…”

Investigation into ion channel- and nitric oxide-mediated vasodilation in resistance arteries by Wallis, LE

“…Furthermore, we show the expression of T-type VGCCs by VSMCs at the points where myoendothelial projections (MEPs) make contact, raising the possibility that these channels contribute to myoendothelial feedback vasodilation.…”

An analysis of contact stiffness and frictional receding contacts by Parel, KS

“…This was done by the insertion of preformed distributed dislocations (or eigenstrains), which take into account the correct form of the separation of the interface at points away from the area of loading, along with corrective bounded-bounded distributions. …”

Exploiting signed TV broadcasts for automatic learning of British Sign Language by Buehler, P, Everingham, M, Zisserman, A

“…Specifically, we will address 3 main points: (i) automatic detection and tracking of the hands using a generative model of the image; (ii) automatic learning of signs from TV broadcasts of single signers, using only the supervisory information available from subtitles; and (iii) discriminative signer-independent sign recognition using automatically extracted training data from a single signer. …”

SARS-CoV-2 evolution during treatment of chronic infection by Kemp, SA, Collier, DA, Datir, RP, Ferreira, IATM, Gayed, S, Jahun, A, Hosmillo, M, Rees-Spear, C, Mlcochova, P, Lumb, IU, Roberts, DJ, Chandra, A, Temperton, N, Sharrocks, K, Blane, E, Modis, Y, Leigh, KE, Briggs, JAG, van Gils, MJ, Smith, KGC, Bradley, JR, Smith, C, Doffinger, R, Ceron-Gutierrez, L, Barcenas-Morales, G, Pollock, DD, Goldstein, RA, Smielewska, A, Skittrall, JP, Gouliouris, T, Goodfellow, IG, Gkrania-Klotsas, E, Illingworth, CJR, McCoy, LE, Gupta, RK

“…Here we show that chronic infection with SARS-CoV-2 leads to viral evolution and reduced sensitivity to neutralizing antibodies in an immunosuppressed individual treated with convalescent plasma, by generating whole-genome ultra-deep sequences for 23 time points that span 101 days and using in vitro techniques to characterize the mutations revealed by sequencing. …”

Inflammation and colorectal cancer: elucidation of the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which interleukin 22 contributes to the development and progression of colorectal cancer by McCuaig, S

“…</p> <p>Collectively, this work has revealed that an IL-22 signal is interpreted differently in the presence or absence of mutant <em>KRAS</em>. Our data points toward a method to identify a subset of poor prognosis IL-22 receptor-high, <em>KRAS</em> mutant CRC patients and we hypothesise that blockade of the IL-22 pathway in these patients may have therapeutic benefit.…”

Application of smartphone-based biophotonic instrumentation for glucose sensing using colorimetric method by Azlan, Nur Ainin Sofhia Nurul

“…A high sensitivity in detecting high concentrations of glucose can be demonstrated well compared to low concentrations range, potentially due to inconsistencies during sample preparation, minor motions of the instruments, or fluctuations in ambient light throughout each take affecting the fluctuation of the data points. The study underscores the applicability and feasibility of quantitative glucose analysis using ImageJ and smartphones as cost-effective alternatives to traditional methods involving expensive reagents and enzymes. …”

Temporal and spatial characteristics of the Beaufort Sea ambient noise environment by Chen, R., Schmidt, H.

“…The observed events are grouped into three categories—short-time-broadband, long-time-narrowband, and long-time-broadband—each likely generated through a different mechanism by the ice cover. …”

A Brief History of Blockchain Interoperability by Belchior, Rafael, S??enguth, Jan, Feng, Qi, Hardjono, Thomas, Vasconcelos, Andr?, Correia, Miguel

“…In this paper, we will dive into the rabbit hole of blockchain interoperability and explain why it is needed, what has work been done in the last decade (the past), how it is currently deployed and used in practice (the present), and likely paths of development (the future).…”

Individual subject meta-analysis of parameters for Giardia duodenalis shedding in animal experimental models by Adell, A. D., Miller, W. A., Harvey, D. J., Van Wormer, E., Wuertz, S., Conrad, P. A.

“…This study suggests inoculation of the experimental host with cysts rather than trophozoites and administration of higher doses of Giardia will most likely result in cyst shedding. Based on the results of this meta-analysis, the infective stage (cyst versus trophozoite), parasite dose, and the interactions between dose and infective stage, as well as dose and species of experimental host, should be considered when designing experimental dose response studies that will assist in the study of zoonotic neglected tropical diseases globally.…”

Exceptionally active iridium evolved from a pseudo-cubic perovskite for oxygen evolution in acid by Chen, Yubo, Li, Haiyan, Wang, Jingxian, Du, Yonghua, Xi, Shibo, Sun, Yuanmiao, Sherburne, Matthew, Ager, Joel W., Fisher, Adrian C., Xu, Jason Zhichuan

“…Such reconstructed surface region, likely contains a high amount of structural domains with corner-shared and under-coordinated IrOx octahedrons, is responsible for the observed high activity.…”

Accident severity levels and traffic signs interactions in state roads : a seemingly unrelated regression model in unbalanced panel data approach by Xu, Xuecai, Šarić, Željko, Zhu, Feng, Babić, Dario

“…Results revealed that (1) low visibility and the number of invalid traffic signs per km increased the accident rate of material damage, death or injured; (2) average speed limit exhibited a high accident rate of death or injured; (3) the number of mandatory signs was more likely to reduce the accident rate of material damage, while the number of warning signs was significant for accident rate of death or injured.…”

Population-specific adaptation in malaria-endemic regions of Asia by Gusareva, Elena S., Lorenzini, Paolo Alberto, Nurul Adilah Ramli, Ghosh, Amit Gourav, Kim, Hie Lim

“…Interestingly, most of the identified genes (82%) were found to be under selection in a single population group, while adaptive genes shared across populations were rare. This is likely due to the independent adaptation history in different endemic populations. …”
