The role of EZH2-VAV interaction in tumorigenesis by Wong, Jong Fu

“…EZH2-mediated talin1 methylation enhances talin1 cleavage and thereby promotes turnover of adhesion structures and likely directly contributes to tumorigenesis. Our data provides a novel mechanistic insight into the cellular transformation associated with EZH2 overexpression. …”

Political market imperfections and the political incentives for the provision of social services : a case study of two states in India by Taisha Grace Antony

“…Using macroeconomic data from 1961 to 20 I I, this thesis undertakes a case study on two states in India - Kerala and Uttar Pradesh- to demonstrate that a state with better informed voters, political competition among two credible political parties, as well as voters who are less ethnically fragmented on policy issues, is likely to be more efficient in its public expenditure policies than a state made up of relatively uninformed voters, non-credible political competition among multiple parties, and a highly ethnically divided population . …”

UNCLOS and its Limitations as the Foundation for a Regional Maritime Security Regime by Sam, Bateman

“…The paper concludes that uncertainty in the law of the sea is likely to grow and that State practice in East Asia, under the influence of domestic politics and regional tensions, may well continue to diverge from more traditional views of the law. …”

Immunotherapy-responsive neuropathic pain and allodynia in a patient with glycine receptor autoantibodies: a case report by Soleimani, B, Board, C, Yu, T, Tracey, I, Irani, SR, Foley, P

“…<p><strong>Discussion</strong></p> A detailed longitudinal phenotyping, using validated pain measurement instruments, of severe neuropathic pain and allodynia associated with likely pathogenic glycine receptor autoantibodies is reported. …”

The Exorcist and the Rabbi: Hebrew divine names in Christian prayer, 750-850 by Bertuzzi Rivett, P

“…Placing the hymn in the broader context of exorcism and performative ritual, I trace its adjurational formulae to late antique Christian and Jewish apotropaic texts. These were most likely transmitted directly from magic or mystical Jewish sources, rather than Patristic texts.…”

The value of flexible vaccine manufacturing capacity: value drivers, estimation methods, and approaches to value recognition in health technology assessment by McElwee, F, Newall, A

“…We argue that, while the value of additional FVMC is uncertain and further research is needed to help to better estimate it, the value of increased pandemic preparedness is likely to be too large to be ignored.…”

Transforming CCTV cameras into NO 2 sensors at city scale for adaptive policymaking by Ibrahim, MR, Lyons, T

“…For instance, if trucks only drive at night, their effects on NO2 levels are most likely to be seen in the morning when people commute. …”

Developing a framework for tracking antimicrobial resistance gene movement in a persistent environmental reservoir by Mathers, AJ, Li, TJX, He, Q, Narendra, S, Stoesser, N, Eyre, DW, Walker, AS, Barry, KE, Castañeda-Barba, S, Huang, FW, Parikh, H, Kotay, S, Crook, DW, Reidys, C

“…The Composite Sample Complex accounts for the co-occurrence of both plasmids and chromosomes within an isolate, and highlights likely gene donors and recipients. From the validated model, we demonstrate frequent transposition events of&nbsp;<em>bla</em>_KPC&nbsp;from plasmids to other plasmids, as well as integration into the bacterial chromosome within specific drains. …”

The role of recoverability in the implementation of non-phonemic glottalization in Hawaiian by Davidson, L, Parker Jones, O

“…Full closures were more likely between identical vowels, but stress does not affect realization. …”

Nanostructure silver absorbance with polarized light spectroscopy (PLS) and mobile imaging by Liu, Xinzhi, Shafie, Suhaidi

“…However, discrepancies were observed from 500 to 600 nm, likely due to ambient light interferences and inherent optical phenomena such as diffraction, reflection, and refraction. …”

Individual subject meta-analysis of parameters for Giardia duodenalis shedding in animal experimental models by Adell, A. D., Miller, W. A., Harvey, D. J., Van Wormer, E., Wuertz, S., Conrad, P. A.

“…This study suggests inoculation of the experimental host with cysts rather than trophozoites and administration of higher doses of Giardia will most likely result in cyst shedding. Based on the results of this meta-analysis, the infective stage (cyst versus trophozoite), parasite dose, and the interactions between dose and infective stage, as well as dose and species of experimental host, should be considered when designing experimental dose response studies that will assist in the study of zoonotic neglected tropical diseases globally.…”

Nanoconfined β-sheets mechanically reinforce the supra-biomolecular network of robust squid sucker ring teeth by Guerette, Paul A., Hoon, Shawn, Ding, Dawei, Amini, Shahrouz, Masic, Admir, Ravi, Vydianathan, Venkatesh, Byrappa, Weaver, James C., Miserez, Ali

“…The suckerin gene family has likely played a key role in the evolutionary success of decapodiform cephalopods and provides a large molecular toolbox for biomimetic materials engineering.…”

Accident severity levels and traffic signs interactions in state roads : a seemingly unrelated regression model in unbalanced panel data approach by Xu, Xuecai, Šarić, Željko, Zhu, Feng, Babić, Dario

“…Results revealed that (1) low visibility and the number of invalid traffic signs per km increased the accident rate of material damage, death or injured; (2) average speed limit exhibited a high accident rate of death or injured; (3) the number of mandatory signs was more likely to reduce the accident rate of material damage, while the number of warning signs was significant for accident rate of death or injured.…”

Population-specific adaptation in malaria-endemic regions of Asia by Gusareva, Elena S., Lorenzini, Paolo Alberto, Nurul Adilah Ramli, Ghosh, Amit Gourav, Kim, Hie Lim

“…Interestingly, most of the identified genes (82%) were found to be under selection in a single population group, while adaptive genes shared across populations were rare. This is likely due to the independent adaptation history in different endemic populations. …”
