Potential of emodepside for vector-borne disease control by Khemrattrakool, P, Hongsuwong, T, Phanphoowong, T, Sriwichai, P, Poovorawan, K, Tarning, J, Kobylinski, KC

“…The An. dirus emodepside LC50 was 4,623 [4,159–5,066] ng/ml which is > 100-fold greater than the peak concentrations seen in human. The ivermectin and emodepside co-feed experiment with An. dirus did not indicate any altered effect of ivermectin on mosquito survival when emodepside co-fed at human Cmax or five times that of the human Cmax. …”

Sleep-control circuits in Drosophila melanogaster by Garmendia Sanchez, L

“…In addition, I evaluated the influence of ROS in tissues other than the dFB neurons in promoting sleep. Using an innovative inducible ROS-generating chemogenetic system based on the D-amino acid oxidase enzyme, I observed that inducing ROS in gut enterocytes (MyO1A-GAL4 cells) increases sleep. …”

Disruption of seasonal influenza circulation and evolution during the 2009 H1N1 and COVID-19 pandemics in Southeastern Asia by Chen, Z, Tsui, JL, Cai, J, Su, S, Viboud, C, du Plessis, L, Lemey, P, Kraemer, MUG, Yu, H

“…We find a higher persistence of A/H3N2 than B/Victoria circulation in Southeastern Asia and identify distinct pandemic-related disruptions in A/H3N2 antigenic evolution between two pandemics, compared to interpandemic levels; similar patterns are observed in B/Victoria using genetic distance. …”

Investigating the contribution of the unfolded protein response to prostate cancer bone metastasis by Kaya, Z

Elucidation of thermally induced internal porosity in zinc oxide nanorods by Handoko, Albertus D., Liew, Laura-Lynn, Lin, Ming, Sankar, Gopinathan, Du, Yonghua, Su, Haibin, Dong, Zhili, Goh, Gregory Kia Liang

“…It is also demonstrated that the internal porosity can be exploited to improve the visible light absorption of ZnO. A combination of the lower defect density and improved light absorption of the heat-treated ZnO films thus lead to an increase in the photoelectrochemical response of more than 20× compared to that of the as-grown ZnO.…”

Densification of LaGaO3 at low sintering temperatures via Fe3+ substitution at Ga3+ site by Chandrasekaran, A., Azad, A.-M.

“…Compositions containing 35 mole% Fe2O3 soaked for 48 h or more at 1200°C and for as low as 12 h at 1300°C resulted in perfectly dense compacts. Bodies containing lower dopant concentrations (xFe2O3 ≤ 0.25) were found to have a substantial degree of porosity with good intergranular connectivity, while a significant amount of grain growth and broad grain size distribution was an interesting feature in samples containing mole fractions higher than 0.35.…”

A comparison of preterm and full-term infant emotional regulation development through infant-mother affect synchrony by Low, Heather Yee Theng

“…Several findings were revealed: (1) preterm infants experienced highest positive affect in singing/dancing, but overall exhibited significantly lower positive affect than full-term infants, (2) compared to the full-term group, mothers of preterm infants made behavioural adjustments (i.e. reduced positive and negative affect), especially during tickling, and took on more responsive roles in dyadic interactions, (3) preterm infants whose mothers responded to their emotions during dyadic interactions had better emotional self-regulation. …”
