Random walk models in the life sciences: including births, deaths and local interactions by Plank, M, Simpson, M, Baker, R

Life is uncertain: inherent variability exhibited by organisms, and at higher levels of biological organization by Bull, JW

“…Important practical implications arise if organisms can indeed be defined by an association with specific classes of inherent uncertainty: not least that isolating those signatures then provides a potential means for detecting life, for considering the forms that life could theoretically take, and for exploring the wider limits to how life might become distributed. …”

“…<p>Buruli Ulcer (BU) and Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) are two Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) of the skin. Both are ‘diseases of poverty’ and can cause long-term disabilities. …”

Repeat expansion detection in neurodegenerative diseases with CRISPR/Cas9-targeted long read sequencing by Phua, Kimberly

“…Neurodegenerative diseases are broadly characterised by degeneration and loss of neurons in the brain over time which affects the quality of life of affected individuals. Recently, new associations of repeat expansions with various neurodegenerative diseases have been reported and point to a landscape of genomic alterations that have not been well-studied in neurodegenerative diseases. …”

In vitro anti-cancer and antimicrobial effects of manganese oxide nanoparticles synthesized using Glycyrrhiza uralensis leaves extract on breast cancer cell lines by Althobiti, Maryam Musleh, Alzahrani, Badr, Elderdery, Abozer Y., Alzerwi, Nasser A. N., Rayzah, Musaed, Elkhalifa,, Ahmed M. E., Idrees, Bandar, Bakhsh, Ebtisam, Alabdulsalam, Abdulrahim A., Mohamedain, A., Kumar, Suresh S., Mok, Pooi Ling

“…In this study, we evaluated the antiproliferative and apoptotic properties of Pluronic-F127-containing manganese oxide nanoparticles (PF-127-coated Mn2O3 NPs) derived from the leaf extract of Glycyrrhiza uralensis (GU) on breast adenocarcinoma, MCF7, and MDA-MB-231 cell lines. The leaf extract of GU contains bioactive molecules that act as a reducing or capping agent to form Mn2O3 NPs. …”

Graph attention informer for long-term traffic flow prediction under the impact of sports events by Song, Yaofeng, Luo, Ruikang, Zhou, Tianchen, Zhou, Changgen, Su, Rong

“…However, due to the complexity of traffic maps and external factors, such as sports events, these models cannot perform well in long-term prediction. In order to enhance the accuracy and robustness of the model on long-term time series prediction, a Graph Attention Informer (GAT-Informer) structure is proposed by combining the graph attention layer and informer layer to capture the intrinsic features and external factors in spatial-temporal correlation. …”
