Ethical issues surrounding access to care for BRCA mutations by Huang, C

“…I conclude that whilst most problematic cases are country-neutral, only US women are problematically constrained by insurance and legal loopholes, and only UK women are problematically constrained by regional variations in health authority funding.</p>…”

A diminished large carnivore guild with contrasting species-habitat associations persists outside national parks in Namibia's central-eastern landscape by Verschueren, S, Hofmann, T, Briers-Louw, WD, Kakove, M, Leirs, H, Bauer, H, Marker, L, Cristescu, B

“…The large proportion (80 %) of suitable habitat identified, i.e. where probability of occupancy exceeded 0.5, is an encouraging outcome for the region's potential to hold value for carnivore persistence and potentially recolonization. …”

Quantifying conformational changes in the TCR:pMHC-I binding interface by McMaster, B, Thorpe, CJ, Rossjohn, J, Deane, CM, Koohy, H

“…Results: In support of some case studies, we demonstrate that all complementarity determining region (CDR) loops move to a certain extent but only CDR3α and CDR3β loops modify their shape when binding pMHC-Is. …”

The potential of eight plasma proteins as biomarkers in redefining leptospirosis diagnosis by Fish-Low, Cheng-Yee, Than, Leslie Thian Lung, Ling, King-Hwa, Sekawi, Zamberi

“…Leptospirosis, a notifiable endemic disease in Malaysia, has higher mortality rates than regional dengue fever. Diverse clinical symptoms and limited diagnostic methods complicate leptospirosis diagnosis. …”

Managing phosphorus : under acid soils environment by Musa, Mohamed Hanafi

Information fusion and cooperative control for target search and localization in multi-agent sensor networks by Hu, Jinwen

“…The whole surveillance region is partitioned into cells where each cell is associated with a probability of target existence within the cell, which constitutes a probability map for the whole region. …”

Thermal effects on particle deposition in microchannels by Yan, Zhibin

“…The reduction of particle deposition rate with Reynolds number is attributed to the increased hydrodynamic lift force which hinders the transport of particles from the bulk solution to the near-wall region. For the pulsatile flow which is generated by a specially designed pulsation generation unit, an oscillatory flow component is superimposed onto the steady flow of the particle suspension. …”

Numerical simulation on flow and heat transfer characteristics of a single-loop oscillating heat pipe with variable pipe diameter ratios by Lu, Hongkun, Noor, M. M., Ning, Shuigen, K., Kadirgama

“…As the diameter ratio increases to 1.25 and 1.5, the turbulent disturbances in the region where the working fluid flows from the adiabatic section to the evaporation or condensation section intensify, facilitating the temperature exchange within the OHP. …”

Development of a perfusable, hierarchical microvasculature-on-a-chip model by Chen, Sophia W., Blazeski, Adriana, Zhang, Shun, Shelton, Sarah E., Offeddu, Giovanni S., Kamm, Roger D.

“…The addition of collagen channels reduces the apparent permeability of the central capillary region, likely by reducing leakage from the side channels, enabling more accurate measurements of vascular permeability—an important motivation for this study. …”

Ligand-specific factors influencing GLP-1 receptor post-endocytic trafficking and degradation in pancreatic beta cells by Fang, Zijian, Chen, Shiqian, Manchanda, Yusman, Bitsi, Stavroula, Pickford, Philip, David, Alessia, Shchepinova, Maria M., Corrêa, Ivan R., Jr., Hodson, David J., Broichhagen, Johannes, Tate, Edward W., Reimann, Frank, Salem, Victoria, Rutter, Guy A., Tan, Tricia, Bloom, Stephen R., Tomas, Alejandra, Jones, Ben

“…The T149M GLP-1R variant shows reduced signalling and internalisation responses, which is likely to be due to disruption of the cytoplasmic region that couples to intracellular effectors. These observations provide insights into how ligand- and genotype-specific factors can influence GLP-1R trafficking.…”

Low biodegradability of dissolved organic matter from Southeast Asian peat-draining rivers by Nichols, Robert S., Martin, Patrick

“…Here, we assess the potential for using phenol oxidase assays as a proxy for tDOC biodegradation across peat-draining rivers and the coastal waters of Sarawak, Borneo, and report experimental measurements of microbial tDOC remineralization rates from this region. We first show that phenol oxidase assays in aquatic samples are problematic because of the rapid, pH-dependent autoxidation of the assay substrate. …”
