Analysis of subtelomeric virulence gene families in Plasmodium falciparum by comparative transcriptional profiling by Witmer, Kathrin, Schmid, Christoph D., Brancucci, Nicolas M. B., Luah, Yen-Hoon, Preiser, Peter Rainer, Bozdech, Zbynek, Voss, Till S.

“…Here, we analysed promoters of upsA, upsB and upsC var, rifA1-type rif, stevor, phist and pfmc-2tm genes and investigated their role in endogenous gene transcription by comparative genome-wide expression profiling of transgenic parasite lines. We find that the three major var promoter types are functionally equal and play an essential role in singular gene choice. …”

Sources of value gains in minority equity investments by private equity funds : evidence from block share acquisitions by Chen, Guojun, Kang, Jun-Koo, Kim, Jin-Mo, Na, Hyun Seung

“…Using block share acquisitions made by private equity (PE) funds, we examine the sources of value gains in PE minority equity investments. We find that compared with non-PE acquirers, PE acquirers are more likely to place representatives with finance experience or those with experience in the target's industry on the target's board when the need for target oversight and/or advice is higher. …”

Brain change trajectories in healthy adults correlate with Alzheimer's related genetic variation and memory decline across life by Roe, J, Vidal Pineiro, D, Sørensen, Ø, Grydeland, H, Leonardsen, E, Iakunchykova, O, Pan, M, Mowinckel, A, Strømstad, M, Nawijn, L, Milaneschi, Y, Andersson, M, Pudas, S, Bråthen, AC, Kransberg, J, Falch, E, Øverbye, K, Kievit, R, Ebmeier, KP, Lindenberger, U, Ghisletta, P, Demnitz, N, Boraxbekk, C-J, Drevon, C, Penninx, B, Bertram, L, Nyberg, L, Walhovd, K, Fjell, A, Wang, Y

“…We first show genetic risk links with more brain loss than expected for age in early Braak regions, and find this extends beyond APOE genotype. Next, we run machine learning on AD-control data from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative using brain change trajectories conditioned on age, to identify AD-sensitive features and model their change in healthy adults. …”

Disruption of seasonal influenza circulation and evolution during the 2009 H1N1 and COVID-19 pandemics in Southeastern Asia by Chen, Z, Tsui, JL, Cai, J, Su, S, Viboud, C, du Plessis, L, Lemey, P, Kraemer, MUG, Yu, H

“…The internal movement structure within Southeastern Asia markedly diverged during the COVID-19 pandemic season, and to a lesser extent, during the 2009 A/H1N1 pandemic season. Our findings provide insights into the heterogeneous impact of two distinct pandemic-related disruptions on influenza circulation, which can help anticipate the effects of future pandemics and potential mitigation strategies on influenza dynamics.…”

Legislating instability: Adam Smith, free banking, and the financial crisis of 1722 by Goodspeed, T

“…In support of previous research on Scottish “free banking,” I find that this absence of legal restrictions on Scottish banking contributed to a proliferation of what Adam Smith derisively referred to as “beggarly bankers” which rendered the Scottish financial system both intensely competitive and remarkably resilient to a series of severe adverse shocks to the small developing economy. …”
