Cross-layer host-network co-design for QoS in streamed video data networking by Nan, Ya

“…The proposed design faces the challenge of constraints of both computation resources at the edge servers and network bandwidth of the edge-cloud links. An accuracy gradient-based resource allocation algorithm is proposed to allocate the limited computation and network resources across different video streams to achieve the maximum overall performance. …”

Investigating S-acylation in the metabolic dysfunction of the T2D heart by Dennis, KMJH

“…The lipid post translational modification <em>S</em>-acylation has been linked to regulating CD36 trafficking. However, it remains unknown whether CD36 is <em>S</em>-acylated in the heart and whether CD36 <em>S</em>-acylation levels are altered in T2D.…”

Development of high-affinity peptide-drug conjugates for investigating the TRIM24 PHD and bromodomain by Platt, MA

“…</p> <br> <p>Given the close proximity of the PHD and BRD, and lack of TRIM24 PHD ligands, it was decided that a TRIM24 BRD ligand would be linked to a H3-mimicking peptide containing a KMe₃ isostere, to generate bivalent peptide-drug conjugates (PDCs) (Figure 0.1a). …”

How to learn Chinese characters? Exploring the effectiveness of different learning methods in young Singaporean children by Toh, Wendy Hwee Bin

“…In Experiment 2, it was revealed that generally, the repeated practice of character writing was more effective compared to repeatedly writing its Pinyin, especially among the low RA children. The findings of Experiment 3 demonstrated that the structured writing modality was effective for character learning and retention, be it focusing on radical/component or stroke sequence. …”

Institutions and agricultural transformation: a study of induced innovation in the Philippine rice sector by Montesclaros, Jose Ma. Luis P.

“…The 2019 Rice Tariffication Law is highlighted as a key “path-breaking” event which contributed to addressing not only the rice trade protectionism problem but also in part the farmers’ capitalisation problems. These findings imply the need for more nuanced approaches in promoting agricultural transformation which consider the roles of broader macroeconomic policies and their lingering impacts, to more effectively “securitise” the food sector.…”

Investigating the neural substrates of Chinese character processing by Wu, Chiao-Yi

“…Regions-of-interest (ROIs) were defined based on the meta-analysis findings and a priori ROI approaches were implemented in the subsequent studies to examine the involvement and integrity of the sub-network. …”

Structural study of ribosome : 1) structural basis of EF-G in translocation. 2) molecular mechanism of ribosome-dependent toxin YoeB in mRNA cleavage by Chen, Yun

“…The positioning of the catalytic His87 into the active site is coupled to the hydrophobic-gate opening and involves the ribosomal 23S rRNA sarcin-ricin loop as well as domain III of EF-G. These findings provide a structural basis for the GTPase activation of EF-G, based on which, a substrate-promoted mechanism is proposed. …”

Preclinical development of antisense conjugates for the treatment of myotonic dystrophy 1 by Stoodley, J

“…Subsequent <em>in vivo</em> testing confirmed these findings, demonstrating enhanced delivery to skeletal muscle, heart and significantly reduced nephrotoxicity, relative to its previous CPP-PMOs. …”

The effects of exercise, heat-induced hypo-hydration and rehydration on blood–brain-barrier permeability, corticospinal and peripheral excitability by Uddin, N, Scott, J, Nixon, J, Patterson, SD, Kidgell, D, Pearce, AJ, Waldron, M, Tallent, J

“…Serum UCH-L1 increased across time for all conditions (p &lt; 0.001) but was not significantly different between conditions. Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate an increase in corticospinal inhibition after exercise with fluid ingestion, but a decrease in corticospinal excitability after heat-induced hypo-hydration. …”

Exploring Malaysian public universities Japanese language students' views on the effects of LGBT elements in anime and manga by Paee, Rokiah, Abdul Rashid, Roswati, Ahmad, Normah, Mamat, Roslina

“…There were 56 (37%) male and 94 (63%) female respondents. Findings: 34 (22.7%) respondents mentioned anime and manga titles that have LGBT elements, with some titles fitting under the LGBT genre. …”

Characterization of liposome-encapsulated tylosin, in vitro Cytotoxicity and its antibacterial activitiy against Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis isolated from goats by Saddiqi, Mohammad Ehsan

“…The release behaviour of tylosin from the conventional liposomes is based on initial fast release followed by sustained and slow-released as compared to free tylosin. Cytotoxicity findings revealed higher cell viability (above 70%) for liposomal tylosin and below 70% for free tylosin at a high concentration of 1024 μg/mL. …”

Three Provocations for Civic Crowdfunding by Davies, Rodrigo

“…It offers three provocations to scholars and practitioners considering the practice, questioning the extent to which civic crowdfunding is participatory, the extent to which it addresses or contributes to social inequality, and the extent to which it augments or weakens the role of public institutions. In doing so, it finds that civic crowdfunding is capable of vastly divergent outcomes, and argues that the extent to which civic crowdfunding produces outcomes that are beneficial, rather than harmful to the public sphere, will be determined by the extent to which the full range of stakeholders in civic life participate in the practice. …”
