Maternal infections during pregnancy and the risk of childhood leukaemia in the offspring: Evidence from large-scale cohort studies by He, J

“…In the I4C analysis, maternal urinary tract infection (HR, 1.68; 95% CI, 1.10-2.58) and respiratory tract infection (HR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.05-2.26) were associated with increased risk of childhood leukaemia. Influenza-like illness showed a similar pattern but with less precise estimates (HR, 1.62; 95% CI, 0.76-3.42). …”

Metabolic maturation of induced pluripotent stem cells derived cardiomyocytes by Lopez, C

“…By simultaneously targeting both maturation methods we have shown a degree of maturation through an increased movement towards reduced glycolysis and increased FAO in our iPSC-CMs.</p> <p>Like others this thesis has shown that iPSC-CMs mature slowly over time with changes in structural genes occurring during the first month of differentiation and continuing to increase up to 3 months, whereas metabolic changes took longer to develop. 3D culture on collagen-derived scaffolds and engineered heart tissue (EHT) accelerated this maturation time and increased mitochondrial oxidative metabolism while decreasing anaerobic glycolysis. …”

Molecular characterisation of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus pseudintermedius in cats, dogs and pet owners in a Veterinary Hospital by Afshar, Mohammad Farzad

Deep learning-based concrete image analysis and generalization capability by Qian, Hanjie

“…When deploying models trained on one SEM dataset to new scenarios, such as different compositions or regions, a significant decrease in performance is often observed. Since the training data and test data belong to different distributions, and directly applying a trained model can be highly risky. …”

Modeling and optimization of photovoltaic systems under partially shaded and rapidly changing conditions by Jiang, Lian Lian

“…The performance of each method is evaluated and compared with each other in a table. Since the existing methods show either low accuracy in derived parameters of the PV array or too much complexity in their calculation, in Chapter 3, we proposed a Chebyshev functional link neural network (CFLNN) to model the PV module. …”
