Imagined futures and relational agency in nurses' writing transitions: a qualitative study across two writing group interventions in a higher education setting by Waite, M

“…</p> <p>I collected data through participant observation, samples of writing-in-development, and individual narratives spanning up to three years. I analysed the data through a conceptual framework that draws theoretically from a sociocultural understanding of developmental transitions and a cultural-historical perspective on relational agency.…”

“…</p> <br> <p><strong>Outcomes:</strong> The base-case intention-to-treat analysis showed PHP significantly increased costs (£912, 95% CI £420–£1405) and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) (0.037, CI 0.006–0.068), with an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of £24,739 (CI £15,539–£39,692). …”

Transforming kernel-based learners to incorporate domain knowledge from climate science by Bouabid, S

“…<p>In the face of persistent modelling and observational challenges in climate science, which hinder our understanding of the climate system, statistical machine learning has emerged as a potential ally in recent years. Modern machine learning methods promise to leverage the vast volumes of data from climate model simulations, satellite imagery, or in-situ measurements to advance our understanding of the climate system and, thereby, our ability to anticipate the adverse consequences of climate change. …”

Expressions of grief on the early modern stage by Welch, K

“…Tracking fake funerals over this time period revealed a sharp increase in this device after 1603, which the final chapter suggests is related to anxieties over public performances of mourning after Elizabeth I's death and one of the worst plague years on record.</p> <p>Performances of theatrical mourning thus occur displaced in time, preemptive requests for a death not to happen rather than the belated wish to bring the dead back to life. …”

Assessment of novel pre-erythrocytic malaria vaccines in humans by Venkatraman, N

“…Though the search for an effective vaccine has seen unprecedented advances in recent years and one of the leading vaccine candidates, RTS,S/AS01 is going to enter pilot deployments in Africa in 2018, there has been no vaccine that has demonstrated durable high level efficacy. …”

Towards Synergistic Understanding of Language Processing in Biological and Artificial Systems by Hosseini Asl, Eghbal

“…Despite decades of research aimed at uncovering the neural mechanisms underlying activity in this network, a computationally precise account has remained elusive. Over the past five years, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have achieved capabilities in the comprehension and production of language that are indistinguishable from those of humans, and their internal representations bear similarity to activity within the language network. …”

From Sample to Answer: Innovations in sample processing and CRISPR-based diagnostics for enhanced clinical translation and field deployment by Arizti Sanz, Jon

“…However, the global diagnostic testing capacity is currently insufficient to effectively respond to emerging infectious disease threats, which has fueled the spread of Lassa, Ebola, SARS-CoV-2, and Zika virus in recent years. Globally, this diagnostic gap is particularly pronounced at the primary care or community level, an essential site for swift and effective response. …”

Growth of gallium nitride nanowires by low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) by Wang, Jianbo

“…Group-III nitrides such as gallium nitride (GaN) have been intensively used for high power electronic, optoelectronic, RF power and sensor applications such as blue light emitting diodes (LEDs), high power and high voltage transistors, etc. In recent years, nanowires have gained interest due to the ability to take advantage of their geometry for improving optical and electrical properties such as increased light absorption, and the freedom synthesis of high quality nano heterostructures on different substrates with large lattice mismatching. …”
