A two-part mixed-effects model for analyzing clustered time-to-event data with clumping at zero by Zhao, Jian, Zhao, Yun, Xiang, Liming, Khanal, Vishnu, Binns, Colin W, Lee, Andy H.

“…Furthermore, subjects are often clustered within hospitals, communities or health service centers, resulting in correlated observations. The framework of the two-part model has been developed and utilized widely to analyze semi-continuous data or count data with excess zeros, but its application to clustered time-to-event data with clumping at zero remains sparse.…”

The effects of processing conditions on the morphology of single conjugated polymers. by Yeo, Hui Lin.

“…Spun-cast single chains were largely found to give neat intensity traces exhibiting discrete emission levels and clear off-states, suggesting a compact and collapsed disordered conformation favoring efficient energy funneling to one or a few low-energy exciton traps. These emissive centers of the collapsed chain were proposed to be intrachain aggregates consisting of closely π-stacked segments, therefore possessing weak oscillator strength and an extended radiative lifetime. …”

Epi-microRNA mediated metabolic reprogramming counteracts hypoxia to preserve affinity maturation by Nakagawa, R, Llorian, M, Varsani-Brown, S, Chakravarty, P, Camarillo, JM, Barry, D, George, R, Blackledge, NP, Duddy, G, Kelleher, NL, Klose, RJ, Turner, M, Calado, DP

“…To increase antibody affinity against pathogens, positively selected GC-B cells initiate cell division in the light zone (LZ) of germinal centers (GCs). Among these, higher-affinity clones migrate to the dark zone (DZ) and vigorously proliferate by utilizing energy provided by oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). …”
