Missing Data by Jungs de Almeida, Alessandra, Klein, Lauren, D’Ignazio, Catherine

“…While some might refer to data that is literally absent, as in statistical approaches to missing data that attempts to interpolate what might fill in the gaps,1 others, such as the artist and educator Mimi Ọnụọha, take “missing data” to mean something more political — “something [that] does not exist, but it should.”2 In the same line as Ọnụọha, our definition of missing data refers to information that goes uncounted (or otherwise unrecorded), despite social and political demands that such data should be collected and made available. …”

A training algorithm and stability analysis for recurrent neural networks by Xu, Zhao, Song, Qing, Wang, Danwei, Fan, Haijin

“…Besides, the transient response of learning process of RNNs is a critical issue, especially for on-line applications. Conventional RNNs training algorithms such as the backpropagation through time (BPTT) and real-time recurrent learning (RTRL) have not adequately satisfied these requirements because they often suffer from slow convergence speed. …”

PPARβ/δ agonism upregulates forkhead box A2 to reduce inflammation in C2C12 myoblasts and in skeletal muscle by Phua, Wendy Wen Ting, Tan, Wei Ren, Yip, Yun Sheng, Hew, Ivan Dongzheng, Wee, Jonathan Wei Kiat, Cheng, Hong Sheng, Leow, Melvin Khee Shing, Wahli, Walter, Tan, Nguan Soon

“…This reduced local inflammatory response limits tissue damage and restores muscle tetanic contraction. In line with these results, a deficiency in either PPARβ/δ or FoxA2 diminishes the action of the PPARβ/δ agonist GW501516 to suppress an aggravated inflammatory response. …”

Structural integrity assessment of rail steel failure modes and mechanism by Liu, Yang

“…Transverse weld-toe surface cracks at the fusion line of the welded joint are found to be caused by the high density of weld defects and the mismatch of strength and fatigue properties between the thermite weld metal and unaffected rail steel. …”

Towards in-situ texture analysis during LPBF: optical microscopy and texture control by Wang, Xiaogang

“…Finally, I present my attempts atix enabling optical microstructural analysis, in-line, during L-PBF processes (Chapter 4). To this end, I integrated special surface processing techniques as well as the optical characterization methods described in the previous chapters inside a custom-made L-PBF system. …”

Data-driven approach to spatiotemporal dynamic risk assessment of urban flooding based on shared socio-economic pathways by Wang, Mo, Chen, Furong, Zhang, Dongqing, Chen, Zijing, Su, Jin, Zhou, Shiqi, Li, Jianjun, Chen, Jintang, Li, Jiaying, Tan, Soon Keat

“…Under SSP126 scenario, nearly no change was predicted in the area with high flooding risk, with only increase of 1%, future urbanization hotspots associated with serious flooding risks will likely to be found on the fringe of the GBA's construction areas, in line with the extent of construction land expansion. …”

What do you want to make? What to make of public library makerspaces: a look into the power of makerspaces in Singapore public libraries by Tan, Yi Lin

“…Ten years on, the desire by libraries to offer makerspaces shows no sign of letting up. In Singapore, in line with the Library and Archives Blueprint 2025 (LAB25), the National Library Board (NLB) opened their fourth MakeIT at Libraries at Punggol Regional Library in January 2023. …”

Empowerment through suicide in “The little mermaid” and “Giselle ou les wilis” by Wong, Angelene Suet Fong

“…The protagonists, namely, the little mermaid in Andersen’s text and Giselle in Gautier’s text, are presented in line with the “conventional romance formula of female sacrifice,” leaving much room to expand on their suicides as more than self-sacrifice, but as empowerment (de Armas Wilson 111). …”

Binding of TCR multimers and a TCR-like antibody with distinct fine-specificities is dependent on the surface density of HLA complexes by Low, Jianrong L., Gehring, Adam J., Kranz, David M., Grotenbreg, Gijsbert M., Yau, Yin Hoe, Shochat, Susana Geifman, Bertoletti, Antonio, Naidoo, Anneta, Yeo, Gladys, Ho, Zi Zong

“…Various protein scaffolds have been designed to recapitulate the specific recognition of presented antigens with the aim to be exploited both diagnostically (e.g. to visualize cells exposed to infectious agents or cellular transformation) and therapeutically (e.g. for the delivery of drugs to compromised cells). In line with this, we report the construction of a soluble tetrameric form of an αβ T cell receptor (TCR) specific for the HBV epitope Env183–191 restricted by HLA-A*02:01, and compare its avidity and fine-specificity with a TCR-like monoclonal antibody generated against the same HLA target. …”

Investigating the genetics and immunopathogenesis of ankylosing spondylitis by Liu, F

“…This subset of monocytes exhibited a gene expression profile highly similar to a major population of CD14+ myeloid cells identified in AS synovial fluid (SF), strongly suggesting that T cell-induced myeloid cell activation occurs in vivo in inflamed joints. In line with this, PD1+IFN-γ+ T-cells were enriched in AS SF compared to blood. …”
