Investigating molecular vulnerabilities in TP53-mutant transformed myeloproliferative neoplasms by Paterson, A

“…Furthermore, all upregulated RBP were identified to be essential for cancer cell line survival via <em>in silico</em> analysis and validated by candidate RBP-targeted gene perturbation screens.…”

On self-dual cyclic codes and generalized self-dual cyclic codes over finite fields by Yan, Jia

“…We decompose a QT code to a direct sum of component codes – linear codes over rings. Furthermore, given the decomposition of a QT code, we can describe the decomposition of its dual code. …”

Synthesis of epoxidized poly(ester carbonate)-b-polyimide-b-poly(ester carbonate) : reactive single-walled carbon nanotube dispersants enable synergistic reinforcement around multi... by Liu, Bo, Liu, Chengyin, De Luca, Hugo G., Raman Pillai, Suresh Kumar, Anthony, David B., Li, Jianghua, Bismarck, Alexander, Shaffer, Milo S. P., Chan-Park, Mary Bee Eng

“…Herein, PI-derived block copolymers are synthesized via ring-opening copolymerization of lactide (LA) (a control monomer) and allyl-bearing 2-methyl-2-(allyloxycarbonyl)-propylene carbonate (MAC) from the OH-terminal ends of the PI block to produce PLA-PI-PLA (TB1, a control) and PMAC-PI-PMAC (TB2). …”

Solution-processed lead halide perovskite single crystal scintillators by Xie, Aozhen

“…Simple linear alkyl and small bulky ring-containing cations tend to introduce (100) type which typically exhibits narrow emission and more likely to show negative thermal quenching behavior (stronger emission upon higher temperature). …”

Discrete geodesic graphs by Fang, Zheng

“…The computational domain shrinks to a local patch as the basis function decays to zero outside one-ring neighbors of the patch. I introduce an optimization scheme to solve the localized harmonic B-spline equation and compute the discrete Green's function quickly, which is a better simulation of ground truth on synthetic models according to experimental results. …”

Operations and Supply Management 4.0 : Industry Insights, Case Studies and Best Practices / by Helmold, Marc, author 645775, Terry, Brian, author 206444

“…It explains comprehensively, how these new paradigms enable companies to concentrate on value-adding activities and processes to achieve a long-term sustainable and competitive advantage. …”

Love and Other Words / by Lauren, Christina, author 593883, Little, Brown Book Group (Online service) 655987

“…Although their memories are obscured by the agony of what happened that night so many years ago, Elliot will come to understand the truth behind Macy’s decade-long silence, and will have to overcome the past and himself to revive her faith in the possibility of an all-consuming love.…”

Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers / by Sapolsky, Robert M., author 656050, Holt (Online service) 655998

“…Sapolsky focuses on the effects of glucocorticoids on the human body, arguing that such hormones may be useful to animals in the wild escaping their predators, (see Fight-or-flight response) but the effects on humans, when secreted at high quantities or over long periods of time, are much less desirable. Sapolsky relates the history of endocrinology, how the field reacted at times of discovery, and how it has changed through the years. …”

Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion: Current Stroke Prevention Strategies and a Shift Toward Data-Driven, Patient-Specific Approaches by Mendez, Keegan, Kennedy, Darragh G., Wang, Dee Dee, O’Neill, Brian, Roche, Ellen T.

“…Oral anticoagulation therapies are the mainstay of stroke prevention options for patients; however, not all patients are candidates for long-term oral anticoagulation. Percutaneous occlusion devices are an attractive alternative to long-term anticoagulation therapy, although they are not without limitations, such as peri-implant leakage and device-related thrombosis. …”

Microneedle‐mediated Delivery of Immunomodulators Restores Immune Privilege in Hair Follicles and Reverses Immune‐Mediated Alopecia by Younis, Nour, Puigmal, Núria, Kurdi, Abdallah El, Badaoui, Andrew, Zhang, Dongliang, Morales, Claudia, Saad, Anis, Cruz, Diane, Rahy, Nadim Al, Daccache, Andrea, Huerta, Triana, Deban, Christa, Halawi, Ahmad, Choi, John, Dosta, Pere, Lian, Christine, Artzi, Natalie, Azzi, Jamil R.

“…While systemic immunosuppression is the prevailing approach to manage them, it fails to achieve long‐lasting remission due to concomitant suppression of the regulatory arm and carries the risk of heightened susceptibility to infections and malignancies. …”

From Waste to Structure: A Deep Reinforcement Learning Approach to Circular Design by Sørensen, Karl-Johan I.

“…Computational optimization has been implemented to automate the process, but state-of-the-art algorithms still require manually pre-defining a parametric target design-space or take too long to compute when applied to larger problems. …”
