A novel low-velocity impact region identification method for cantilever beams using a support vector machine by Wang, Fengde, Kang, Yongtian, Xiao, Wensheng, Li, Changjiang, Liu, Qi

“…In this study, a novel low-velocity impact region identification method based on the spectral peak frequency (SPF) and support vector machine (SVM) is proposed to identify the low-velocity impact regions on a steel cantilever beam. A low-velocity impact region identification system of the cantilever beam is established by applying fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors, and only 2 sensors are used in this system. …”

The cellular characterization of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in virus-infected cells using the receptor binding domain binding specific human monoclonal antibodies by Chan, Conrad En-Zuo, Ng, Ching-Ging, Lim, Angeline Pei-Chew, Seah, Shirley Lay-Kheng, Chye, De-Hoe, Wong, Steven Ka-Khuen, Lim, Jie-Hui, Lim, Vanessa Zi-Yun, Lai, Soak-Kuan, Wong, Pui-San, Leong, Kok-Mun, Liu, Yi-Chun, Sugrue, Richard J., Tan, Boon Huan

“…A human monoclonal antibody panel (PD4, PD5, PD7, SC23, and SC29) was isolated from the B cells of convalescent patients and used to examine the S protein in SARS-CoV-2-infected cells. While all five antibodies bound conformational-specific epitopes within SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein, only PD5, PD7, and SC23 were able to bind to the receptor binding domain (RBD). …”
