Enhanced expression of codon optimized interferon gamma in CHO cells by Yusufi, Faraaz N. K., Yang, Yuansheng, Lee, Dong-Yup, Chung, Bevan Kai-Sheng, Mariati

“…However, our RNA-Seq based transcriptome profiling indicated that the ICU and CC distribution patterns of different gene expression classes in CHO cell are relatively similar, unlike other microbial expression hosts, Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This finding was further corroborated through the in vivo expression of various ICU and CC optimized IFN-γ in CHO cells. …”

Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals for light-emitting devices : from materials to device perspectives by Shendre, Sushant

“…The results found in this work nudge the direction of future research towards the mitigation of the disadvantages posed by Auger processes in QLED operation. The findings of this thesis indicate that the synthesis of advanced nanocrystals and understanding of their active device operation will enable us to make high-efficiency colloidal devices to compete as an alternative to their thin-film counterparts.…”

Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) of Nitrothiophenol isomers chemisorbed on TiO2 by Teguh, Jefri S., Liu, Fang, Xing, Bengang, Yeow, Edwin Kok Lee

“…The DFT calculation determined that the HOMO and the LUMO of NTP bound to TiO2 were located entirely on the adsorbate and the semiconductor, respectively, thereby supporting the experimental findings that a molecule-to-TiO2 mechanism was the driving force behind the observed SERS effect.…”

Genome-wide gene expression profiling of the Angelman syndrome mice with Ube3a mutation by Low, Daren., Chen, Ken-Shiung.

“…Consistent with this finding, expression of small interfering RNA that targets Ube3a in P19 cells caused down-regulation of Mc1r and Nr4a2, whereas overexpression of Ube3a results in the up-regulation of Mc1r and Nr4a2 when compared to mock transfected cells. …”

The nature and determinants of user-generated content for dissatisfied customers: evidence from second-hand luxury fashion brands by Ozuem, Wilson, Willis, Michelle, Ranfagni, Silvia, Rovai, Serena, Howell, Kerry

“…Design/methodology/approach Building on an inductive qualitative study of 59 millennials from three European countries (France, Italy and the UK) and by examining the mediating role of UGC and dissatisfied customers, this paper develops a conceptual framework of three clusters of second-hand luxury fashion goods customers: spiritual consumers, entrepreneurial recoverer consumers and carpe diem consumers. Findings The proposed SEC framework (spiritual consumers, entrepreneurial recoverer consumers, and carpe diem consumers) illustrates how the emerging themes interconnect with the identified consumers, revealing significant consumer actions and attitudes found in the second-hand luxury goods sector that influence the usage of UGC and its integration into service failure and recovery efforts Originality/value This study suggested that the perceptions of consumers seeking second-hand luxury fashion products differ from those who purchase new or never previously owned luxury fashion products. …”

Metabolomic characterisation of low-density lipoproteins isolated from iodixanol and KBr-based density gradient ultracentrifugation by Webb, Richard, Lodge, John, Scott, Sophie, Davies, Ian

“…Differences were shown in the molecular composition of LDL prepared using SBUC and IGUC; in positive mode ionisation, the PLS-DA model showed reasonable fit and discriminatory power (R2 = 0.63, Q2 = 0.58, accuracy 0.88) and permutation testing was significant (p < 0.001). Conclusions: The findings reveal distinct differences in the small molecule composition of LDL prepared using the two methods, with IGUC exhibiting greater variation. …”

Advancing cyber incident timeline analysis through retrieval-augmented generation and large language models by Loumachi, Fatma Yasmine, Ghanem, Mohamed Chahine, Ferrag, Mohamed Amine

“…The proposed framework was tested on synthetic cyber incident events in a controlled environment, with results assessed using DFIR-tailored, context-specific metrics designed to evaluate the framework’s performance, reliability, and robustness, supported by human evaluation to validate the accuracy and reliability of the outcomes. Our findings demonstrate the practical power of LLMs in advancing the automation of cyber-incident timeline analysis, a subfield within DFIR. …”

A pilot study on peptidylarginine deiminases and protein deimination in animal cancers across vertebrate species by Inal, Jameel, Hristova, Mariya, Lange, Sigrun

“…Both PAD2 and PAD3 were the most predominantly expressed PADs across all of the cancers assessed, while PAD1, PAD4, and PAD6 were overall expressed at lower, albeit varying, levels. The findings from this pilot study provide novel insights into PAD-mediated roles in different cancers across a range of vertebrate species and may aid in the understanding of cancer heterogeneity and cancer evolution.…”

Postural stability in cyclists by Preece, Mia, Grainger, Karl, Starrs, Paul

“…Conclusion: MTB balance was worse than RC balance, but both cycling groups were found to have better balance scores than the control. These findings have implications for public health, as cycling, an inexpensive and accessible activity already known to offer substantial health benefits, could additionally help maintain postural stability and potentially reduce risk of falls in later life.…”

The relationship between the moderate–heavy boundary and critical speed in running by Hunter, Ben, Meyler, Samuel, Maunder, Ed, Cox, Tobias H., Muniz-Pumares, Daniel

“…Conclusions: The study highlights some uncertainty in the fraction of T1 relative to CS, influenced by inconsistent approaches in determining both boundaries. However, our findings serve as a foundation for remote analysis and prescription of exercise intensity, although testing is recommended for more precise applications.…”

Agamben's understanding of time and its implications for Christology by Wright, O

“…But in the case of Agamben’s work, the discussion of temporality finds a new form of textual presentation: Agamben seeks to orchestrate other ‘texts’ (St Paul’s letters, Franciscan Rules of Life, poetry, art) to create an experience in his reader of his understanding of time. …”
