Scalable mesenchymal stem cell enrichment from bone marrow aspirate using deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) microfluidic sorting by Tan Kwan Zen, Nicholas, Zeming, Kerwin Kwek, Teo, Kim Leng, Loberas, Mavis, Lee, Jialing, Goh, Chin Ren, Yang, Da Hou, Oh, Steve, Hui Hoi Po, James, Cool, Simon M., Hou, Han Wei, Han, Jongyoon

“…Conventional MSC harvesting from BMA relies on archaic centrifugation methods, often leading to poor yield due to osmotic stress, high centrifugation force, convoluted workflow, and long experimental time (∼2–3 hours). To address these issues, we have developed a scalable microfluidic technology based on deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) for MSC isolation. …”

The order of operations and A/Ā interactions by Newman, Elise

“…Indirect objects wh-move through the position that controls A-movement early, blocking a direct object from A-moving, so long as the indirect object can A-move itself. The analysis features a smuggling approach to passives of ditransitives (Collins 2005) and an economy condition like van Urk and Richards’ (2015) Multitasking, which jointly predict the order of operations that gives rise to the wh-movement restriction observed in Norwegian.…”

Individual Mobility Prediction in Mass Transit Systems Using Smart Card Data: An Interpretable Activity-Based Hidden Markov Approach by Mo, Baichuan, Zhao, Zhan, Koutsopoulos, Haris N, Zhao, Jinhua

“…Based on a case study of Hong Kong’s metro system, we show that the proposed model can achieve similar prediction performance as the state-of-the-art long short-term memory (LSTM) model. Unlike LSTM, the proposed IOHMM approach can also be used to analyze hidden activity patterns, which provides meaningful behavioral interpretation for why an individual makes a certain trip. …”

Empirical estimation of metal powder bed fusion technological improvement rate by Alves de Campos, António, Torres Ferreira, Bruna, Gonçalves, Afonso, Leite, Marco, Ribeiro, Inês, L. Magee, Christopher, Henriques, Elsa

“…This study empirically estimates the technological improvement rate (TIR) of metal powder bed fusion (PBF) technology, widely used in aerospace, automotive, and medical industries. PBF's continuous long-term adoption growth is driven by its ability to enhance manufacturing efficiency in terms of time and raw material use, as well as its capability to produce high-quality, high-strength, complex-shaped parts. …”

JWST sighting of decameter main-belt asteroids and view on meteorite sources by Burdanov, Artem Y., de Wit, Julien, Broz, Miroslav, Muller, Thomas G., Hoffmann, Tobias, Ferrais, Marin, Micheli, Marco, Jehin, Emmanuel, Parrott, Daniel, Hasler, Samantha N., Binzel, Richard P., Ducrot, Elsa, Kreidberg, Laura, Gillon, Michael, Greene, Thomas P., Grundy, Will M., Kareta, Theodore, Lagage, Pierre-Olivier, Moskovitz, Nicholas, Thirouin, Audrey, Thomas, Cristina A., Zieba, Sebastian

“…These asteroids were sampled from multiple asteroid families —most likely Nysa, Polana and Massalia— according to the geometry of pointings considered here. Through additional long-stare infrared observations, JWST is poised to serendipitously detect thousands of decameter-scale asteroids across the sky, probing individual asteroid families and the source regions of meteorites “in-situ”.…”
