Engineering culture: logics of optimization in music, games, and apps by Morris, JW, Prey, R, Nieborg, DB

“…Through comparative cases of music, games, and apps that draw on trade press and industry discourse, institutional and financial analysis, and select interviews with musicians, we consider various forms of, and strategies for, what we call cultural optimization. …”

Modular Titratable Polypills for Personalized Medicine and Simplification of Complex Medication Regimens by Karavasili, Christina, Babaee, Sahab, Kutty, Shruti, Chu, Jacqueline N., Min, Seokkee, Fitzgerald, Nina, Morimoto, Joshua, Inverardi, Nicoletta, Traverso, Giovanni

“…To fill the existing gap in drug dose personalization and simplification of complex medication regimens commonly encountered in the treatment of cardiovascular disease, tuberculosis, and tapering of corticosteroid therapy, a modular titratable polypill approach that simultaneously addresses both aspects is proposed. …”

‘I don’t care who joins my choir’: investigating attitudes to diversity and inclusivity in lower- and upper-voice choirs in the United Kingdom by MacGregor, E

“…We conclude by making initial recommendations for how choirs might recognise and address such challenges, and call for a shift in the research agenda to pay greater attention to exclusionary factors in amateur and community music participation…”

Interfacial phenomena and biological recognition of mammalian cells on biomimetic materials by Chan, Vincent.

“…We intend to fill this gap by interrogating the biophysical events involved in membrane-polymer interaction, biological adhesion, tissue engineering and cellular fluid mechanics. …”
