You look familiar … but what’s your name? Word learning in Singaporean older adults by Tan, Justina Yu Han

“…However, while younger adults were negatively affected by the familiarization task, older adults seemed to benefit from the additional exposure. The findings suggest that age differences in word learning may require specialized learning methods to meet different needs.…”

Effect of informational constraints on sprint running by Tan, Ignatius Wei Ren

“…Although slight changes in sprint performance were captured, these findings were not significant. However, it was noted that 7 participants displayed improvements in their sprint performance, indicating that more in-depth investigation could be done to further examine the presence of any possible trends or significant effects. …”

The role of emotional tears in intergroup bias by Pang, James, Zhen Yao

“…Operationalisation of in-group and outgroup concepts was based on university affiliation. Findings supported that implicit intergroup bias favouring the in-group was present in both non-tear (p = .038) and tear (p = .003) conditions. …”

Neutralizing software piracy by Chang, Victoria Munn Cheng

“…Mediation analyses also found that three techniques: (i) denial of injury, (ii) condemnation of condemners and (iii) defense of necessity, played a significant role in explaining the gendered differences in software piracy intentions. The study findings help provide new insights into the decision mechanisms behind a person’s intent to pirate software. …”

An epitope-specific LGI1-autoantibody enhances neuronal excitability by modulating Kv1.1 channel by Extrémet, J, El Far, O, Ankri, N, Irani, SR, Debanne, D, Russier, M

“…We found an increase in intrinsic excitability correlated with a reduction of the sensitivity to a selective Kv1.1-channel blocker in neurons treated with the LRR mAb, but not in neurons treated with the EPTP mAb. Our findings suggest LRR mAbs are able to modulate neuronal excitability that could account for epileptiform activity observed in patients.…”

IL-5 antagonism reverses priming and activation of eosinophils in severe eosinophilic asthma by Luo, J, Chen, W, Liu, W, Jiang, S, Ye, Y, Shrimanker, R, Hynes, G, Klenerman, P, Pavord, ID, Xue, L

“…It also enhances the pro-fibrotic roles of eosinophils in airway remodeling via transforming growth factor-β pathway. These findings provide a mechanistic understanding of eosinophil priming in severe eosinophilic asthma and the therapeutic effect of anti-IL-5 approaches in the disease.…”

Probabilistic forecasting of daily COVID-19 admissions using machine learning by Rostami-Tabar, B, Arora, S, Rendon-Sanchez, JF, Goltsos, TE

“…We provide evidence that QRF outperforms univariate time series methods and other more sophisticated benchmarks. Our findings also show that lagged admissions, total positive cases, daily tests performed, and Google grocery and Apple driving are the most salient predictors. …”

Microstructural evolution of electrospun microfibers for biomedical applications by Chandler, A

“…At higher strains, CFC unfold and recrystallize into thermodynamically more stable chain-extended crystals (CEC) aligned to the stretch axis. These findings suggest potential mechanical and degradative implications for biomedical applications, warranting further investigation.…”

From social media to artificial intelligence: improving research on digital harms in youth by Mansfield, KL, Ghai, S, Hakman, T, Ballou, N, Vuorre, M, Przybylski, AK

“…We present an approach grounded in interpreting findings through a coherent and collaborative evidence-based framework in a measured, incremental, and informative way.…”

Experimental investigation and crystal plasticity modelling of dynamic recrystallisation in dual-phase high entropy alloy during hot deformation by Zhou, Z, Huo, Y, Wang, Z, Demir, E, Jiang, A, Yan, Z, He, T

“…The initiation of DRX is highly temperature-sensitive, and the distinct mechanisms of the FCC and BCC phases jointly influence grain refinement and texture evolution. These findings provide theoretical support for the thermal processing of HEAs and for understanding their internal changes.…”

DSIF factor Spt5 coordinates transcription, maturation and exoribonucleolysis of RNA polymerase II transcripts by Kuś, K, Carrique, L, Kecman, T, Fournier, M, Hassanein, SS, Aydin, E, Kilchert, C, Grimes, JM, Vasiljeva, L

“…Spt5 is also a key factor that attenuates the expression of non-coding transcripts, coordinates pre-mRNA splicing and 3’-end processing. Our findings indicate that engagement with the transcribing Pol II is an essential regulatory step modulating the activity of RNA enzymes such as Xrn2, thus advancing our understanding of how RNA maturation is controlled during transcription.…”

Jurassic fossil juvenile reveals prolonged life history in early mammals by Panciroli, E, Benson, RBJ, Fernandez, V, Fraser, NC, Humpage, M, Luo, Z-X, Newham, E, Walsh, S

“…When analysed against a dataset of life history parameters for extant mammals4, the relative sequence of adult tooth eruption was already established in Krusatodon, and within the range observed in extant mammals, but this development was prolonged; taking place during a longer period as part of a significantly longer maximum lifespan than extant mammals of comparable adult body mass (≤156 grams). Our findings suggest early-diverging mammaliaforms did not experience the same life histories as extant small-bodied mammals, and the fundamental shift to faster growth over a shorter lifespan may not have taken place in mammaliaforms until during or after the Middle Jurassic.…”

RE teachers’ ways of balancing children’s existential concerns and the curriculum: mirrored through established RE approaches by Osbeck, C, Lilja, A, Fancourt, N

“…In the analysis of the interview transcripts of the eleven middle-school teachers focussing on what the teachers express as important goals for RE, the findings were placed on a continuum between a focus on the child’s experiences and on the curriculum. …”

Natural variations in grain length 10 (GL10) regulate rice grain size by Zhan, P, Ma, S, Xiao, Z, Li, F, Wei, X, Lin, S, Wang, X, Ji, Z, Fu, Y, Pan, J, Zhou, M, Liu, Y, Chang, Z, Li, L, Bu, S, Liu, Z, Zhu, H, Liu, G, Zhang, G, Wang, S

“…Analysis of GL10 haplotypes shows obvious divergence between the japonica and indica lineages. Our findings reveal an allelic variation of GL10 that may explain differences in grain length among modern cultivars and could be used to breed rice varieties with optimized grain shape.…”
