Development of a system to detect hidden information in a document using steganography software by Wuan, Neng Jie

“…This report documents the steps and development process of a software system that implements a signature-based steganalysis approach based on Patterns of Pixel Differences and Random Embedding. Like other blind steganalysis attempts, there will be inherent uncertainties and does not guarantee 100% detection rates. …”

Violence risk assessment using the Oxford Mental Illness and Violence Tool by Fazel, S, Scola, G

“…</li> <li>Traditional risk assessment tools are being replaced by novel tools like OxMIV, which provide probability scores for better clinical assessments.…”

Wrapped branes and punctured horizons by Bobev, N, Bomans, P, Gautason, FF

“…We show that some singular solutions of the Liouville equation have a physical interpretation as explicit point-like brane sources on the Riemann surface. We uncover the details of this picture by focusing on $\mathcal{N}$ = 1 theories of class $\mathcal{S}$ arising from M5-branes on a punctured Riemann surface. …”

New approach to obtain height measurements from video by Criminisi, A, Zisserman, A, Van Gool, LJ, Bramble, SK, Compton, D

“…A height measurement is obtained from each frame of the video. A `stereo like' correspondence between images is not required. …”

Linguistic distance and market integration in India by Fenske, J, Kala, N

“…A one-standard-deviation increase in linguistic distance predicts a reduction in the price correlation between two markets of 0.121 standard deviations for wheat, 0.181 for salt, and 0.088 for rice. While factors like genetic distance, literacy gaps, and railway connections are correlated with linguistic distance, they do not fully explain the correlation between linguistic distance and market integration.…”

The uniqueness trap by Flyvbjerg, B, Budzier, A, Christodoulou, MD, Zottoli, M

“…Project managers and planners are highly prone to believing that their projects are one of a kind—partly because those that seem new and distinctive are more likely to win support. But research on 1,300-plus projects reveals that few, if any, actually are unique. …”

A contract negotiation scheme for safety verification of interconnected systems by Tan, X, Papachristodoulou, A, Dimarogonas, DV

“…In this paper, we show that compositional methods like AGC can mitigate this problem. We formulate the synthesis problem into a set of small-size problems, which constructs local contracts for subsystems, and propose a negotiation scheme among the subsystems at the contract level. …”

High p16 expression and heterozygous RB1 loss are biomarkers for CDK4/6 inhibitor resistance in ER+ breast cancer by Palafox, Marta, Monserrat, Laia, Bellet, Meritxell, Villacampa, Guillermo, Gonzalez-Perez, Abel, Oliveira, Mafalda, Brasó-Maristany, Fara, Ibrahimi, Nusaibah, Kannan, Srinivasaraghavan, Mina, Leonardo, Herrera-Abreu, Maria Teresa, Òdena, Andreu, Sánchez-Guixé, Mònica, Capelán, Marta, Azaro, Analía, Bruna, Alejandra, Rodríguez, Olga, Guzmán, Marta, Grueso, Judit, Viaplana, Cristina, Hernández, Javier, Su, Faye, Lin, Kui, Clarke, Robert B., Caldas, Carlos, Arribas, Joaquín, Michiels, Stefan, García-Sanz, Alicia, Turner, Nicholas C., Prat, Aleix, Nuciforo, Paolo, Dienstmann, Rodrigo, Verma, Chandra Shekhar, Lopez-Bigas, Nuria, Scaltriti, Maurizio, Arnedos, Monica, Saura, Cristina, Serra, Violeta

“…Here, we show that p16 overexpression is associated with reduced antitumor activity of CDK4/6 inhibitors in patient-derived xenografts (n = 37) and estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cell lines, as well as reduced response of early and advanced breast cancer patients to CDK4/6 inhibitors (n = 89). …”

Characterizing the conformational landscape of MDM2-binding p53 peptides using molecular dynamics simulations by Yadahalli, Shilpa, Li, Jianguo, Lane, David P., Gosavi, Shachi, Verma, Chandra Shekhar

“…Complementing earlier observations, the current study suggests that the p53 peptides largely follow the ‘conformational selection’ paradigm in their recognition of and complexation by MDM2 while the 12/1 peptides likely undergo some element of conformational selection but are mostly driven by ‘binding induced folding’. …”

Development of serum alternative with fermented soybean residue (okara): towards cultured meat production application by Teng, Ting Shien

“…The observed differences in the results suggested that cells may be stimulated by specific metabolites from the extract, and such interactions may vary from cell line to cell line. An in-depth study on the cellular metabolite interaction would be required to optimise the proliferative effects that the fermented okara extracts have on the cells. …”
