Roles of POPX2 phosphatase in the regulation of apoptosis by Weng, Ting

“…Apart from regulating cell morphology, higher substrate stiffness also increases cell growth. This is partly due to higher rigidity-dependent mitogenic activities of FAK, ERK, STAT3 and less basal apoptosis. …”

Agamben's understanding of time and its implications for Christology by Wright, O

“…The temporality for which Agamben argues, therefore, needs to be understood both from its constituent metaphysical parts, but more importantly from within the performance of that understanding. …”

Structural studies of PfEMP1 bound to human cluster of differentiation 36 and of an unusual human antibody by Hsieh, F

“…<p>In <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em>-infected humans, parasites escape from splenic clearance and cause severe or chronic symptoms partly through the action of the variable surface antigens expressed on the surfaces of infected erythrocytes, called <em>P. falciparum</em> erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (<em>Pf</em>EMP1). …”

India’s ‘gas renaissance’ - rhetoric versus reality by Sen, A

“…The reason for this incongruity is because the Indian gas sector is characterized by two moving parts: one where prices and quantities are set by the government, and another which utilizes gas at market (import) prices. …”

How are cognitive maps formed and encoded in humans? by Glitz, L

“…It therefore appears that the order in which we experience parts of a map during initial exposure is crucial for not only map retention but also the nature of the resulting map.…”

Unravelling the bioactivities of Acmella paniculata extract-mediated green deep eutectic solvent of citric acid monohydrate and glycerol by Rajina Shahmir Sivaraj, Roziana Mohamed Hanaphi, Rizana Yusof

Prevalence of overweight and obesity in Chinese preschoolers in Singapore by Pwint, Mar Khin, Lee, Yung Seng, Wong, Teck Yee, Saw, Seang Mei

“…Materials and Methods: This was a population-based cross-sectional study of 3009 Chinese preschoolers aged 6 to 72 months from southwestern and western parts of Singapore. Overweight and obesity were defi ned by using the Center for Disease Control (CDC) (85th and 95th percentile, respectively), the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) and the local National Health Group Polyclinics (NHGP), Singapore (90th and 97th percentile, respectively) references. …”

Spatter transport by inert gas flow in selective laser melting : a simulation study by Ahmad Bin Anwar, Ibrahim, Imran Halimi, Pham, Quang-Cuong

“…The distinctively large and dark solidified molten particles have always been observed on the powder bed, leading to the potential deterioration of the final printed parts. In commercial SLM machines, inert gas flow is pumped into the chamber over the powder bed to remove spatter and other unwanted by-products such as metal vapour and plasma plumes. …”

From Words to Worlds: Bridging Language and Thought by Wong, Lionel Catherine

“…This thesis proposes a computational framework for modeling language-informed thinking, organized into two parts. In the first, I overview the overarching framework that makes up the backbone of this thesis, Rational Meaning Construction, which proposes how natural language can construct arbitrary expressions in a flexible, symbolic, and probabilistic language of thought that supports general inferences. …”
