Journey into genetics: taking the twists and turns of life by Rosli, Rozita

“…Subsequently, the selected research projects that were carried out in the application of genetics and genetic technologies in cancer, especially breast cancer, infectious diseases and therapeutics, including genetic immunisation will be chronicled and highlighted. It is highly likely that human genetics research through the years will become an increasingly more integral component of medical research. …”

Deletion of VPS50 protein in mouse brain impairs synaptic function and behavior by Ahumada-Marchant, Constanza, Ancatén-Gonzalez, Carlos, Haensgen, Henny, Brauer, Bastian, Merino-Veliz, Nicolas, Droste, Rita, Arancibia, Felipe, Horvitz, H. Robert, Constantine-Paton, Martha, Arriagada, Gloria, Chávez, Andrés E., Bustos, Fernando J.

“…In cultured neurons, KO of VPS50 did not affect the number of synaptic vesicles but did cause mislocalization of the V-ATPase V1 domain pump and impaired synaptic activity, likely as a consequence of defects in vesicle acidification and vesicle content. …”

Defects in β-cell Ca2+ dynamics in age-induced diabetes by Li, Luosheng, Trifunovic, Aleksandra, Köhler, Martin, Wang, Yixin, Petrovic Berglund, Jelena, Illies, Christopher, Juntti-Berggren, Lisa, Larsson, Nils-Göran, Berggren, Per-Olof

“…We show that these changes are likely to be accounted for by impaired mitochondrial function and to involve phospholipase C/inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate–mediated Ca2+ mobilization from intracellular stores as well as decreased β-cell Ca2+ influx over the plasma membrane. …”

Coseismic and postseismic slip of the 2005 Mw8.6 Nias‐Simeulue earthquake : spatial overlap and localized viscoelastic flow by Qiu, Qiang, Feng, Lujia, Hermawan, Iwan, Hill, Emma M.

“…We also find that the viscoelastic flow in the mantle wedge following this event was likely localized beneath the downdip region of the coseismic slip, rather than uniformly layered across the area as assumed by forward models. …”

Pollen geochronology from the Atlantic coast of the united states during the last 500 years by Christie, Margaret A., Bernhardt, Christopher E., Parnell, Andrew C., Shaw, Timothy Adam, Khan, Nicole S., Corbett, Dorbett Reide, García-Artola, Ane, Clear, Jennifer, Walker, Jennifer S., Donnelly, Jeffrey P., Hasse, Tobias R., Horton, Benjamin P.

“…Inconsistencies were likely related to the hyperlocality of pollen chronohorizons, mixing of salt marsh sediment, reworking of pollen from nearby tidal flats, misidentification of pollen signals, and inaccuracies in or misinterpretation of other age markers. …”

Causal attribution, benefits sharing, and earnings management by Helikum, Lukas J., Tan, Hun-Tong, Xu, Tu

“…In Experiment 1, we predict and find that managers are more likely to manage earnings when the firm's underperformance is caused by an external event and misreported earnings benefit other employees besides the reporting manager. …”

Design of a >500MHz current starving VCO/DLL with low phase noise for digital PWM control by Chua, Dillon Yu Ze

“…However, when frequency multiplication is not needed, a DLL offers an advantage in performance over the PLL as it does not suffer on-chip noise and it has better stability. It is also less likely to accumulate jitter from power-supply and substrate noise. …”

The impact of repeated notifications and notification checking mode on investors' reactions to managers’ strategic positive title emphasis by Chen, Wei, Tan, Hun-Tong, Wang, Elaine Ying

“…As a result, compared to a title without a strategic positive emphasis, we find that a title with a strategic positive emphasis is more likely to result in a favorable investment judgment when investors receive repeated notifications in a one-by-one mode than when they receive a notification for the first time. …”
