From the Andes to the coast: human mobility and diet in the Atacama desert during the late intermediate period (ad 900-1450) by Santana Sagredo, F

“…Human remains were analysed for tooth enamel, bone collagen, bone apatite, and hair-keratin. A second aim of the thesis was to provide new analysis of archaeological plants and animals of the area. …”

GHZ-like states in the Qubit-Qudit Rabi model by Shen, Yuan, Marchegiani, Giampiero, Catelani, Gianluigi, Amico, Luigi, Liu, Ai Qun, Fan, Weijun, Kwek, Leong Chuan

“…The ground state of the strongly coupled system is found to be of Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) type. Therefore, despite the qubit-qudit strong coupling, the nature of the specific tripartite entanglement of the GHZ state suppresses the bipartite entanglement. …”

Entanglement witness via symmetric two-body correlations by Tan, Ernest Y.-Z., Kaszlikowski, Dagomir, Kwek, Leong Chuan

“…We show that while the witness is unable to detect Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states, it is instead able to detect superpositions of Dicke states with GHZ states.…”

The impact of natural climate variability on the global distribution of Aedes aegypti: a mathematical modelling study by Kaye, AR, Obolski, U, Sun, L, Hart, WS, Hurrell, JW, Tildesley, MJ, Thompson, RN

“…Some regions could experience vector-borne disease outbreaks earlier than expected under climate change alone. …”

In vitro bioactivity and biocompatibility assessment of PCL/PLA–scaffolded mesoporous silicate bioactive glass: role of boron activation by Md. Zain, Siti Khalijah, Sazali, Ezza Syuhada, Ghoshal, Sib Krishna, Hisam, Rosdiyana

“…Bioactive glasses with rapid biodegradation and efficient biomineralization for damaged bone tissue repair remain deficient. Based on this fact, some new types of boron-activated mesoporous Bioactive silicate glasses (BMSGs) were made to determine the feasibility of achieving their improved mechanical strength, structure, porosity, biodegradability and bone healing performance. …”

Experimental investigation into load settlement characteristics of piled rafts in sand by Leong, Hazel Xueling.

“…Studies by many notable researchers in the years to come suggest that the most effective combinations of piles and raft happens when all the initial loading can be borne with the raft’s bearing capacity alone. The role of the piles was solely to reduce the excessive settlement experienced by the plain raft.…”

Specific inhibition of PI3K p110δ inhibits CSF‐1‐induced macrophage spreading and invasive capacity by Mouchemore, KA, Sampaio, N, Murrey, MW, Stanley, ER, Lannutti, BJ, Pixley, FJ

“…Here we show that pY721‐based signaling is necessary for CSF‐1‐stimulated PtdIns(3,4,5)P production. While primary bone marrow‐derived macrophages and the immortalized bone marrow‐derived macrophage cell line M−/−.WT express all three class IA PI3K isoforms, p110δ predominates in the cell line. …”
