Characterising human disparity tuning properties using population receptive field mapping by Alvarez, I, Mancari, A, Ip, IB, Parker, AJ, Bridge, H

“…Finally, the individual thresholds for psychophysical stereoacuity at the 3 different pedestal disparities were broadly related to population receptive field tuning width in area V1, suggesting a possible limit for fine stereopsis at the earliest level of cortical processing. …”

Investigating the role of factor inhibiting HIF (FIH) in tumourigenesis by Ma, J

“…Factor Inhibiting HIF (FIH), an oxygen-dependent hydroxylase of HIF, inhibits the transcription of selective HIF target genes, and is hence a potential therapeutic target to fine-tune HIF activity. However, how FIH may affect tumourigenesis has not been comprehensively investigated.…”

A driftwood-based record of Arctic sea ice during the last 500 years from northern Svalbard reveals sea ice dynamics in the Arctic Ocean and Arctic peripheral seas by Hole, GM, Rawson, T, Farnsworth, WR, Schomacker, A, Ingólfsson, Ó, Macias-Fauria, M

“…Provenance and age determinations by dendrochronology and wood anatomy provide insights into Arctic Ocean currents and climatic conditions at a fine spatial resolution, as crossdating with reference chronologies from the circum-Arctic boreal forests enables determination of the watershed the driftwood originated from. …”

Nebular dominated galaxies: insights into the stellar initial mass function at high redshift by Cameron, AJ, Katz, H, Witten, C, Saxena, A, Laporte, N, Bunker, A

“…Modelling the UV turnover with a DLA requires extreme column densities (𝑁HI > 1023 cm−2 ), and simultaneously explaining the high 𝑓esc,Ly𝛼 requires a fine-tuned geometry. In contrast, modelling the spectrum as primarily nebular provides a good fit to both the continuum and emission lines, motivating scenarios in which (a) we are observing only nebular emission or (b) the ionizing source is powering extreme nebular emission that outshines the stellar emission. …”

Integration of genetic data and genomic annotation in the analysis of genome wide association studies by Ng, E

“…An example of an identified association was that between serum apolipoprotein B levels and rs7412, which is consistent with other GWAS. To fine map these loci and assign functional annotation, I created Bayesian credible sets and checked for overlap between SNPs in these credible sets and regulatory marks in the Encyclopaedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) database. …”

The structural, mechanical, and biological variation of silica bioglasses obtained by different sintering temperatures by Sarmast Sh, M., Dayang Radiah, A. B., Hoey, D. A., Abdullah, N.

“…These findings highlight the potential of fine-tuning the sintering temperature to modulate the crystallinity of bioglasses, thereby enhancing their application scope in bone tissue engineering.…”

Responses of gas exchange and growth in Merkus pine seedlings to expected climatic changes in Thailand by Koskela, Jarkko

“…A carbon-and nitrogen-balance growth model applied structural regularities of a tree and a modification of functional balance between foliage and fine roots as growth-guiding rules. Adaptation to local climates was incorporated in the models. …”

Potential of Pressmud Waste from Sugar Industry in Brick Manufacturing for Green Business and Sustainability by Mohamad, Maheera, Chong, Khai Lin, Abdul Nasir, Muhammad Hafeez, Abidin, Rahimi, Abu, Noor Hidayah, Razalli, Mohd Rizal, Taib, Che Azlan, Mohd Yusoff, Yuhainis, Chellamuthu, Vignes

Essays on the dynamics of the U.S. real exchange rate by Li, Yingzhu

“…Subsequent structural form analysis shows that only relative productivity shock has a significant long-run impact on the U.S. real exchange rate. Forecast error variance decomposition also shows that while transitory shocks and relative fiscal policy shock account for more than two thirds of short-run movements in the U.S. real exchange rate, relative productivity shock dominates its long-run fluctuations. …”

Understanding the information needs of Singapore marketing managers for making strategic decisions by Lee, Joseph Siew Hoong.

“…It is by venturing abroad and by redirecting internationally, there would be more long term opportunities for optimal growth. Although there will be more emerging markets internationally, but along its course, Singapore organizations will also be fraught with threats of more intense competition arising from the rapid economic growth of the neighboring countries.…”
