Intelligent diagnostic feedback in virtual learning environment by Guo, Ruisheng

“…On the other hand, according to the National Student Survey (NSS) reports (2007-2010), in England, about half of students and 35% of students (2011 -2014), and 30% of students (2015-2016) did not agreed with that: 1, feedback on their work has been prompt; 2, feedback on their work has helped them clarify things they did not understand; 3, they have received detailed comments on their work. …”

Time to resolution and effect on quality of life of molluscum contagiosum in children in the UK: a prospective community cohort study by Olsen, JR, Gallacher, J, Finlay, AY, Piguet, V, Francis, NA

“…</p> <p><strong>Interpretation</strong> One in ten children with molluscum contagiosum is likely to have a substantial effect on their quality of life and therefore treatment should be considered for some children, especially those with many lesions or who have been identified as having a severe effect on quality of life. …”

Exploring the regulation of myofilament function in the heart using experimental and computational approaches by Folkmanaite, M

“…Specifically, the regulation of the myofilament by multiple distinct nanodomains has not been investigated. Similarly, the impact of PKA phase separation on myofilament function is unknown. …”

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

“…While the role of L-type VGCCs has been long established in larger arteries, recent research has highlighted the importance of T-type VGCCs in smaller resistance arteries and their potential involvement in vasodilation. …”

Tissue and spatially resolved immune drivers of fibrotic pulmonary sarcoidosis by Weeratunga, P

“…This gene has previously been found to drive increased synthesis of extracellular matrix proteins via TGF-β activation. …”

Controlling selectivity in the reductive activation of CO2 by mixed sandwich uranium(iii) complexes by Tsoureas, N, Castro, L, Kilpatrick, A, Cloke, FGN, Maron, L

“…Electrochemical studies on both the uranium(III) complexes and the dimeric uranium(IV) CO2 reduction products have been carried out and all exhibit quasi reversible redox processes; in particular, the similarities in the U(III)/U(IV) redox couples suggest that the selectivity in the outcome of CO2 reductive activation by these complexes is steric in origin rather than electronic. …”

Co-designing the implementation of a rural health systems-strengthening rheumatic heart disease program with remote First Nations Australian communities using Theory of Change by Jones, B, Mitchell, A, Haynes, E, Howard, NJ, Wade, V, Pears, C, Rossingh, B, Gatti, J, Ramadani, S, Corpus, E, Yan, J, Marangou, J, Kaethner, A, Bailey, M, Francis, JR, English, M, Nagraj, S

“…Task-sharing using local healthcare workers, trained to screen for active RHD cases (using handheld ultrasound with remote support from experts), has been proposed as a means of improving early detection whilst also strengthening referral pathways. …”

Social bonding among children in joint physically active play by Jefferies, M

“…Each of these features has been associated with interpersonal affiliation in either human or non-human primates. …”

Molluscum contagiosum and associations with atopic eczema in children: a retrospective longitudinal study in primary care by Olsen, JR, Piguet, V, Gallacher, J, Francis, NA

“…An association between the presence of atopic eczema (AE) and MC has been shown, but the subsequent risk of developing MC in children with a diagnosis of AE is not known.…”

The aerodynamics of turbomachines for high–enthalpy gas heating by Karefyllidis, N

“…</p> <br> <p>In response to the urgent demand to reduce industrial CO₂ emissions and achieve net-zero by 2050, a new class of electrically-driven, energy-imparting turbomachines referred to as the turbo-heaters have been developed. These machines fundamentally aim to convert mechanical energy into internal energy without pressurising the gas, enabling ultra-high-enthalpy gas heating for a range of high-temperature industrial applications. …”

Development of CRISPR gene therapy for retinal degenerations by Fry, LE

“…Gene-supplementation therapies using adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors have been developed, however, they are limited to the treatment of recessive IRDs and genes with small coding sequences. …”

The influence of polarisation on the behaviour of anions within ion channels and nanopores by Phan, LX

“…Whilst cation channels have been studied in great depth, general mechanisms underlying anion selectivity and permeation within such pores remain unclear. …”

Fabrication and characterization of Si doped ZnO and Cu2P2O7 thin films by Wang, J

“…However, the two issues of ITO are the high cost of indium as well as its incomplete coverage of blockage in the NIR range, especially in the 790–1100 nm range that contains nearly 60% of the NIR solar irradiance. For decades, ZnO has been considered as a potentially low-cost replacement for ITO. …”

The political psychology of personality and attitudes towards immigrants by Buettner, N

“…Second, I build on Cybernetic Big Five Theory (CB5T), an influential causal, integrative theory which has recently been developed in the field of personality psychology, to derive and subsequently empirically test multiple hypotheses linking personality’s major dimensions of covariation on three levels of CB5T’s personality trait hierarchy to natives’ immigration attitudes based on survey data from the United Kingdom and the United States. …”

Deep brain stimulation of the hypothalamic region: a systematic review by Mofatteh, M, Mohamed, A, Mashayekhi, MS, Skandalakis, GP, Neudorfer, C, Arfaie, S, MohanaSundaram, A, Sabahi, M, Anand, A, Aboulhosn, R, Liao, X, Horn, A, Ashkan, K

Preterm birth and cardiometabolic health trajectories from birth to adulthood: the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children by Clayton, GL, Howe, LD, O’Keeffe, LM, Lewandowski, A, Lawlor, DA, Fraser, A

“…Our aim was to compare trajectories of multiple cardiometabolic risk factors from childhood to early adulthood between those who had and had not been born preterm.</p> <br> <p><strong>Methods and Results:</strong> Multilevel models were used to compare trajectories from early childhood (&lt;9 years) to age 25 of BMI, fat and lean mass, systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP), lipids, glucose and insulin, between individuals born preterm (N=311-676, range 25-36 gestation) and term (N=4973-10534) in a UK birth cohort study. …”

Serological cross-reactivity between Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus and Nairobi sheep disease virus glycoprotein C by Maze, EA, Booth, G, Limon, G, Belij-Rammerstorfer, S, Tchakarova, SR, Alexandrov, T, Browning, C, Wilsden, G, Ludi, AB, Charleston, B, Lambe, T

“…Crucially, only one seropositive sample to NSDV Gc-specific out of a set of 224 (0.4%) showed a neutralizing capacity at the lowest serum dilution (1:8), suggesting these field sera have not been exposed to NSDV. Based on an analysis of known epitopes in NP targeted by antibodies in sheep serum, we propose that NP is less cross-reactive because dominant epitopes are highly dissimilar between CCHFV and NSDV. …”
