Examining twitter discourse on electronic cigarette and tobacco consumption during national cancer prevention month in 2018: topic modeling and geospatial analysis by Lu, Jiahui, Lee, Edmund Wei Jian

“…Background: Examining public perception of tobacco products is critical for effective tobacco policy making and public education outreach. While the link between traditional tobacco products and lung cancer is well established, it is not known how the public perceives the association between electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) and lung cancer. …”

Elevated reactive oxygen species can drive the alternative lengthening of telomeres pathway in ATRX-null cancers by Goncalves, T, Cunniffe, S, Ma, T, Mattis, N, Rose, A, Kent, T, Mole, D, Geiller, HB, van Bijsterveldt, L, Humphrey, T, Hammond, E, Gibbons, R, Clynes, D, Rose, A

“…Further, we found a possible causal link between the formation of R-loops and the accumulation of DPCs, in particular, formation of TOP1 complexes covalently linked to DNA (Top1cc). …”

Direct observation of deterministic domain wall trajectory in magnetic network structures by Sethi, Pankaj, Murapaka, Chandrasekhar, Goolaup, Sarjoosing, Chen, Yun Jie, Leong, Siang Huei, Lew, Wen Siang

“…The DW propagation in the network structure is governed by the geometrically induced potential barrier and pinning strength against the propagation. This technique can be extended for controlling the trajectory of magnetic charge carriers in an artificial spin ice lattice.…”

Resolving structural ambiguity using animacy and grammatical cues in Chinese. by Ong, Deborah Yoke Ting.

“…The role of animacy has also been found to be relevant in Chinese, with studies on the Competition Model supporting it as an important cue in agent identification (Bates et al., 1992). With two off-line questionnaire studies, this study looks at how the semantic animacy role and grammatical role (low attachment preference) affect ambiguity resolution in Chinese for both comprehension and production. …”
