Understanding early molecular mechanisms of abnormal myelination in neurological conditions by characterising Ermin deficiency by Oh, Sher Li, Ziaei, Amin, Tan, Liang Juin, Utami, Kagistia Hana, Pouladi, Mahmoud A., Langley, Sarah Raye

“…Ermin is a gene expressed specifically in oligodendrocytes during the late stage of myelination, and its altered expression has been associated with several neurological conditions, including epilepsy, schizophrenia, and a familial form of multiple sclerosis, although its involvement in their pathophysiology is still unclear. We studied the transcriptome of Ermin-deficient mice using gene co-expression and differential gene expression analyses to investigate early transcriptional effects of Ermin deficiency across age and sex. …”

Development and design optimisation of digital intensity measurement system for shot peening by Tarani, Dinesh Kumar

“…Despite being a well-established process, it still exhibits certain drawbacks. For instance, measurements cannot be stored over a longer period of time due to material relaxation, online intensity verification is not viable and the process itself can be quite time consuming, depending on the complexity of the part to be peened. …”

The Efficacy of Different Analysis Algorithms for Summarizing Online Deliberations by Venkat, Naveen

“…Through a randomized controlled trial of all three approaches using a nationally representative sample, we compare their practical effectiveness, as measured by participants’ subjective experiences regarding how well these summaries represent their concerns. We find that the computational social choice-inspired algorithm consistently outperforms Polis’s current methods in this regard, though future theoretical work is still needed to fully adapt this approach to a real-world setting.…”
