Two complementary features of humoral immune memory confer protection against the same or variant antigens by Van Beek, Matthew, Nussenzweig, Michel C, Chakraborty, Arup K

“…We developed a computational model to study how humoral memory is recalled upon reinfection or booster vaccination. We find that upon reexposure to the same antigen, affinity-dependent selective expansion of available memory B cells outside GCs (extragerminal center compartments [EGCs]) results in a rapid response made up of the best available antibodies. …”

Computational modeling reveals optimal strategy for kinase transport by microtubules to nerve terminals by Koon, Yen Ling, Koh, Cheng Gee, Chiam, Keng-Hwee

“…We show how this strategy outperforms protein transport by diffusion alone, using metrics such as signaling rate and signal amplification. We find that there exists a range of scaffold concentrations for which JNK transport is optimal. …”

The influence of Ti doping on morphology and photoelectrochemical properties of hematite grown from aqueous solution for water splitting by Zhao, Xin, Feng, Jianyong, Wang, Ning, Yao, Xin, Chen, Wei, Chen, Shi, Huang, Zhaohong, Chen, Zhong

“…Herein, we have investigated the influence of Ti doping on the morphology change and find that insufficient precursor concentration is the main reason for the morphology deviation from the optimized nanorod structure. …”

The role of electronic properties of Pt and Pt alloys for enhanced reformate electro-oxidation in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells by Halder, A., Mukerjee, S., Jia, Qingying, Chan, S. H., Ehteshami, Seyyed Mohsen Mousavi

“…This electrocatalyst shows the best reformate tolerance in low temperature PEM fuel cells by taking advantage of the bifunctional mechanism induced by Mo and the ligand effect induced by Co simultaneously. Our findings put forward a theory which gives a strong perspective for further research and development of new inexpensive catalysts with superior CO tolerance and durability.…”

Arbitrarily strong utility-privacy tradeoff in multi-agent systems by Wang, Chong Xiao, Song, Yang, Tay, Wee Peng

“…We also provide a method to find the maximum estimation privacy achievable without compromising the utility and propose an alternating algorithm to optimize the utility-privacy tradeoff in the case where arbitrarily strong utility-privacy tradeoff is not achievable.…”

Geographically-aware mobile application for managing events and interest group communications by Lee, Chong Yan

“…Besides, with the huge pool of information online, it would be hard for the relevant party to find this thread, let alone reply it. Beyond that, the nature of socializing is vastly different between forum-based chat and real-time chat as real-time chat turns these connections into personal relationship and increases user engagement as users have to keep the conversations going. …”

Supply chain resilience for global operations (2) : a re-evaluation of performance benchmarking (information sharing) by Tan, Tricia Zann Yinn

“…For instance, managers from the sharing end might find it difficult to determine the quantity or type of information to share, while on the receiving end, managers might ponder about the reliability and usefulness of that same information shared. …”

Hydrodynamics of random-organizing hyperuniform fluids by Lei, Qun-Li, Ni, Ran

“…We study the criticality of the absorbing-phase transition. We find that the origin of fluidic HU can be understood as the damping of a stochastic harmonic oscillator in q space, which indicates that the suppressed long-wavelength density fluctuation in the hyperuniform fluid can exhibit as either acoustic (resonance) mode or diffusive (overdamped) mode. …”

Influences of surface charges and gap width between p-type and n-type semiconductors on charge pumping by Deng, Shuo, Xu, Ran, Li, Min, Li, Lijie, Wang, Zhong Lin, Zhang, Qing

“…In this work, charge pumping between p-type and n-type silicon is investigated using the first principles calculation with non-equilibrium Green function. We find that a large density of states is formed during silicon surface relaxation and they are further changed during hydrogenated process. …”

Nature-based solutions for flood risk reduction : a probabilistic modeling framework by Lallemant, David, Hamel, Perrine, Balbi, Mariano, Lim, Tian Ning, Schmitt, Rafael, Win, Shelly

“…Results for the Chindwin River basin in Myanmar highlight the potential consequences of deforestation on long-term flood risk. We find that loss reduction is driven by small but frequent storms, suggesting that current practice relying on large storms may underestimate the benefits of nature-based solutions. …”
