Development of serum alternative with fermented soybean residue (okara): towards cultured meat production application by Teng, Ting Shien

“…The observed differences in the results suggested that cells may be stimulated by specific metabolites from the extract, and such interactions may vary from cell line to cell line. An in-depth study on the cellular metabolite interaction would be required to optimise the proliferative effects that the fermented okara extracts have on the cells. …”

The model of norm-regulated responsibility for proenvironmental behavior in the context of littering prevention by Ai, Pengya, Rosenthal, Sonny

“…It also showed that strong injunctive norms can reduce the inhibitory effect of descriptive norms on ascription of responsibility. These findings were consistent with several hypotheses constituting the model of norm-regulated responsibility, a novel explanatory framework offering new insights and a more nuanced and comprehensive understanding of social norms' influence on proenvironmental behavior.…”

Modelling the impact of testing, contact tracing and household quarantine on second waves of COVID-19 by Aleta, Alberto, Martín-Corral, David, Pastore y Piontti, Ana, Ajelli, Marco, Litvinova, Maria, Chinazzi, Matteo, Dean, Natalie E., Halloran, M. Elizabeth, Longini Jr, Ira M., Merler, Stefano, Pentland, Alex, Vespignani, Alessandro, Moro, Esteban, Moreno, Yamir

“…Here we integrate anonymized, geolocalized mobility data with census and demographic data to build a detailed agent-based model of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission in the Boston metropolitan area. We find that a period of strict social distancing followed by a robust level of testing, contact-tracing and household quarantine could keep the disease within the capacity of the healthcare system while enabling the reopening of economic activities. …”

All-sky search for gravitational wave emission from scalar boson clouds around spinning black holes in LIGO O3 data by Sudhir, Vivishek

“…Outliers from this search are followed up using two different methods, one more suitable for nearly monochromatic signals, and the other more robust towards frequency fluctuations. We do not find any evidence for such signals and set upper limits on the signal strain amplitude, the most stringent being ≈ 10 − 25 at around 130 Hz. …”

Self-ejection of salts and other foulants from superhydrophobic surfaces to enable sustainable anti-fouling by McBride, Samantha A., Lake, John R., Varanasi, Kripa K.

“…Counterintuitively, we find that the addition of “contaminant” chemistries can enable ejection under conditions where ejection was not observed for waters containing only sodium chloride salt (e.g., from smooth hydrophobic surfaces), and that increased concentrations of both surfactants and colloids lead to longer ejection lengths. …”
