Role of N-WASP in cell proliferation : implication for organ development and cancer by Verma, Apoorva

“…Ablation of N-WASP in mice using K5-Cre resulted in significantly decreased number of ducts and sub-ductal branches in the mammary gland. …”

Fluorescence diffuse optical imaging for small animal study. by Lim, Shu Qiang.

“…The proposed idea is to capture images of fluorescence of the major internal organs and overlap it with general view of the mice so as to obtain exactly co-registered anatomical overlay images. …”

Deubiquitinases in muscle physiology and disorders by Olie, CS, O'Brien, DP, Jones, HBL, Liang, Z, Damianou, A, Sur-Erdem, I, Pinto-Fernández, A, Raz, V, Kessler, BM

“…USP5, USP9X and USP14 are implicated in synaptic transmission and remodeling at the neuromuscular junction. Mice lacking USP19 show increased maintenance of lean muscle mass. …”

A KLF2-BMPER-Smad1/5 checkpoint regulates high fluid shear stress-mediated artery remodeling by Deng, H, Zhang, J, Wang, Y, Joshi, D, Pi, X, De Val, S, Schwartz, MA

“…Here we report that high FSS suppresses Smad1/5 by elevating KLF2, which induces the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) pathway inhibitor, BMP-binding endothelial regulator (BMPER), thereby de-inhibiting Akt. In mice, surgically induced high FSS elevated BMPER expression, inactivated Smad1/5 and induced vessel outward remodeling. …”

White cat, black cat or good cat: the Beijing consensus as an alternative philosophy for policy deliberation? The case of China by Hasmath, R

“…Contrary to models of development which provide a subset of policy prescriptions for the policymakers’ disposal or a fundamentalist adherence to a particular economic tradition, the philosophical intentionality of the Beijing Consensus is reflected in the infamous words of Deng Xiaoping “I do not care if it is a white cat or a black cat … It is a good cat so long as it catches mice”. That is, the Beijing Consensus inherently recognises that each development scenario has a potential set of challenges that may require unique and/or experimental solutions factoring the current political, social and economic environment. …”

Acceleration by Stepsize Hedging: Multi-Step Descent and the Silver Stepsize Schedule by Altschuler, Jason, Parrilo, Pablo

“…The core algorithmic intuition is hedging between individually suboptimal strategiesÐshort steps and long stepsÐsince bad cases for the former are good cases for the latter, and vice versa. Properly combining these stepsizes yields faster convergence due to the misalignment of worst-case functions. …”

Highly stretchable, compliant, polymeric microelectrode arrays for in vivo electrophysiological interfacing by Qi, Dianpeng, Liu, Zhiyuan, Liu, Yan, Jiang, Ying, Leow, Wan Ru, Pal, Mayank, Pan, Shaowu, Yang, Hui, Wang, Yu, Zhang, Xiaoqian, Yu, Jiancan, Li, Bin, Yu, Zhe, Wang, Wei, Chen, Xiaodong

“…Polymeric microelectrode arrays (MEAs) are emerging as a new generation of biointegrated microelectrodes to transduce original electrochemical signals in living tissues to external electrical circuits, and vice versa. So far, the challenge of stretchable polymeric MEAs lies in the competition between high stretchability and good electrode-substrate adhesion. …”

Modelling the dynamics of microbubble undergoing stable and inertial cavitation: delineating the effects of ultrasound and microbubble parameters on sonothrombolysis by Tan, Zhi Qi, Ooi, Ean Hin, Chiew, Yeong Shiong, Foo, Ji Jinn, Ng, Yin Kwee, Ooi, Ean Tat

“…An increase in jet velocity is always accompanied by a decrease in the translational distance and vice versa. Therefore, a right balance between the jet velocity and the translational distance is critical to maximise the shear stress on the clot surface. …”

“Encouraged to be your true self”: an interpretative phenomenological study of medical students’ experiences of role models in shaping sexual minority identity at medical school... by Zacharias, A, Aitken, D

“…From these results, we built upon existing social cognitive paradigms to develop a ‘doublefunnel’ model to represent how social contexts can map onto individual SM identities and vice versa, mediated by role models. The triangulation of these three aspects in relation to medical education presents novel understandings to the field. …”

Organic donor-acceptor cocrystals for multiferroic applications by Wang, Zongrui, Zhang, Qichun

“…The cocrystallization strategy has provided an efficient route to fulfill room temperature magnetoelectricity in single phase owing to the long-range ordered π-π stacking (donor-acceptor assembled) network, long-lived excitons (with μs lifetime), spin orders (±1/2 s pin) and charge transfer (CT) dipoles in the assembled crystal lattice. …”

The Portevin-Le Chatelier effect of Cu-2.0Be alloy during hot compression by Zhu, Daibo, Wu, Na, Liu, Yang, Liu, Xiaojin, Jiang, Chaohua, Jiang, Yanbin, Zhao, Hongyun, Cui, Shuhui, Xie, Guilan

“…As the strain rate increases, the dislocations outpace the diffusion speed of the solute atoms, limiting their ability to effectively pin the dislocations, resulting in lower dislocation density and serration amplitude. …”

Compatability and equilibrium approach to slender concrete column design (dual project) by Toh, Yi Hui

“…This report evaluates and compares the proposed design method with the Australian code AS3600-2001 for slender concrete column. The failure loads of pin-end columns under short term loading and uniaxial bending are used as a pre-determined factor to analyse the data. …”
