Effect of informational constraints on sprint running by Tan, Ignatius Wei Ren

“…Although slight changes in sprint performance were captured, these findings were not significant. However, it was noted that 7 participants displayed improvements in their sprint performance, indicating that more in-depth investigation could be done to further examine the presence of any possible trends or significant effects. …”

The role of emotional tears in intergroup bias by Pang, James, Zhen Yao

“…Operationalisation of in-group and outgroup concepts was based on university affiliation. Findings supported that implicit intergroup bias favouring the in-group was present in both non-tear (p = .038) and tear (p = .003) conditions. …”

Neutralizing software piracy by Chang, Victoria Munn Cheng

“…Mediation analyses also found that three techniques: (i) denial of injury, (ii) condemnation of condemners and (iii) defense of necessity, played a significant role in explaining the gendered differences in software piracy intentions. The study findings help provide new insights into the decision mechanisms behind a person’s intent to pirate software. …”

Influence of fibre aspect ratio on rheological performance for 3D printable materials by Angellee, Raymond Rafael

“…These critical parameters affect the process of how concrete mix flows out and settles upon printed. The experiment finds that higher fibre content contributes to higher value of static and dynamic yield stress and demonstrating decreasing trend for plastic viscosity. …”

An epitope-specific LGI1-autoantibody enhances neuronal excitability by modulating Kv1.1 channel by Extrémet, J, El Far, O, Ankri, N, Irani, SR, Debanne, D, Russier, M

“…We found an increase in intrinsic excitability correlated with a reduction of the sensitivity to a selective Kv1.1-channel blocker in neurons treated with the LRR mAb, but not in neurons treated with the EPTP mAb. Our findings suggest LRR mAbs are able to modulate neuronal excitability that could account for epileptiform activity observed in patients.…”

IL-5 antagonism reverses priming and activation of eosinophils in severe eosinophilic asthma by Luo, J, Chen, W, Liu, W, Jiang, S, Ye, Y, Shrimanker, R, Hynes, G, Klenerman, P, Pavord, ID, Xue, L

“…It also enhances the pro-fibrotic roles of eosinophils in airway remodeling via transforming growth factor-β pathway. These findings provide a mechanistic understanding of eosinophil priming in severe eosinophilic asthma and the therapeutic effect of anti-IL-5 approaches in the disease.…”

Probabilistic forecasting of daily COVID-19 admissions using machine learning by Rostami-Tabar, B, Arora, S, Rendon-Sanchez, JF, Goltsos, TE

“…We provide evidence that QRF outperforms univariate time series methods and other more sophisticated benchmarks. Our findings also show that lagged admissions, total positive cases, daily tests performed, and Google grocery and Apple driving are the most salient predictors. …”

Microstructural evolution of electrospun microfibers for biomedical applications by Chandler, A

“…At higher strains, CFC unfold and recrystallize into thermodynamically more stable chain-extended crystals (CEC) aligned to the stretch axis. These findings suggest potential mechanical and degradative implications for biomedical applications, warranting further investigation.…”

From social media to artificial intelligence: improving research on digital harms in youth by Mansfield, KL, Ghai, S, Hakman, T, Ballou, N, Vuorre, M, Przybylski, AK

Experimental investigation and crystal plasticity modelling of dynamic recrystallisation in dual-phase high entropy alloy during hot deformation by Zhou, Z, Huo, Y, Wang, Z, Demir, E, Jiang, A, Yan, Z, He, T

“…The initiation of DRX is highly temperature-sensitive, and the distinct mechanisms of the FCC and BCC phases jointly influence grain refinement and texture evolution. These findings provide theoretical support for the thermal processing of HEAs and for understanding their internal changes.…”

DSIF factor Spt5 coordinates transcription, maturation and exoribonucleolysis of RNA polymerase II transcripts by Kuś, K, Carrique, L, Kecman, T, Fournier, M, Hassanein, SS, Aydin, E, Kilchert, C, Grimes, JM, Vasiljeva, L

“…Spt5 is also a key factor that attenuates the expression of non-coding transcripts, coordinates pre-mRNA splicing and 3’-end processing. Our findings indicate that engagement with the transcribing Pol II is an essential regulatory step modulating the activity of RNA enzymes such as Xrn2, thus advancing our understanding of how RNA maturation is controlled during transcription.…”
