Staphylococci of the Skin: Consequences for Host Health by Khadka, Veda D.

“…When the skin barrier is disrupted – either by daily stressors or genetic factors – the composition of the microbiome abruptly shifts to a less diverse state with an abundance of Staphylococci. Staphylococci have been shown to be important modulators of the host immune response and can improve host barrier repair from damage by wounding or parasitic infection during health. …”

Modeling spatial mapping, memory and their underlying mechanisms in the hippocampal complex by Sharma, Sugandha

“…In particular, it has been difficult to understand what makes human spatial representations generalizable enabling few-shot learning of maps of novel spaces, how humans store the vast amount of spatial information (maps) experienced through their lifetimes, and what is the connection between spatial memory and episodic memory in the brain, and why is it significant? …”

Quantifying the effects of sunlight on the fate of oil spilled at sea by Freeman, Danielle Haas

“…I found that if a spill like DwH had occurred in 5°C water rather than the exceptionally warm 30°C water of the GoM, 7x less oil could have dissolved via photo-dissolution and the viscosity of the remaining insoluble oil could have been 16x higher, resulting in lower entrainment of oil into the water column as small droplets (Chapter 3). …”

UFO Instruction Graphs Are Machine Knittable by Lin, Jenny, Ikarashi, Yuka, Bernstein, Gilbert, McCann, James

“…Programming low-level controls for knitting machines is a meticulous, time-consuming task that demands specialized expertise. Recently, there has been a shift towards automatically generating low-level knitting machine programs from high-level knit representations that describe knit objects in a more intuitive, user-friendly way. …”

Evaluation and Analysis of Next-Generation FY-4A LPW Products over Various Climatic Regions in China by Zhang, Wenyuan, Xiao, Xinyu, Peng, Jinsong, Zhang, Shubi, Shehaj, Endrit, Moeller, Gregor

“…However, the observational quality and spatiotemporal variations of LPW products across different climate zones, e.g., the diverse climatic regions in China, have not been systematically assessed. In this paper, we aim to evaluate and analyze the climatic and seasonal variations of FY-4A LPW products across five climatic regions in China, contributing to a deeper understanding of water vapor variability and providing valuable data for climate change research. …”

Forces on oscillating uniform and tapered cylinders in a crossflow by Hover, F. S., Techet, A. H., Triantafyllou, M.S.

“…To study free motions, a novel force-feedback control system has been developed, consisting of: (a) a force transducer, which measures forces on a section of a cylinder moving forward at constant speed; (b) a computer using the measured force signal to drive in real time a numerical simulation of an equivalent mass-dashpot-spring system; (c) a servomotor and linear table which impose, also in real time, the numerically calculated motion on the cylinder section. …”
