Predicting the antigenicity and reassortment probability of influenza viruses by Ong, Wenqi

“…As such, the aim of this project is to aid the aforementioned through developing two web applications, by proposing and applying various computation methods to data. In the first web application, by providing an antigenic database consisting of virus information and HI assays data, researchers are able to upload/retrieve data to predict the antigenic similarity between viruses using computational analysis methods such as context-free encoding scheme. …”

Antitumor polycyclic acridines. 7. Synthesis and biological properties of DNA affinic tetra- and pentacyclic acridines by Stanslas, Johnson, Hagan, Damien J., Ellis, Michael J., Turner, Claire, Carmichael, James, Ward, Wynne, Hammonds, Timothy R., Stevens, Malcolm F. G.

“…The novel water-soluble agent dihydroindolizino[7,6,5-kl]acridinium chloride 14 has inhibitory activity in a panel of non-small-cell lung and breast tumor cell lines exceeding that of m-AMSA. The salt inhibited the release of minicircle products of kDNA confirming that disorganization of topoisomerase II partly underlies the activity of the compound. …”

Online Measurement for Parameter Discovery in Fused Filament Fabrication by Read, Jake Robert, Seppala, Jonathan E., Tourlomousis, Filippos, Warren, James A., Bakker, Nicole, Gershenfeld, Neil

“…Our method allows us to successfully find process parameters, using one set of input parameters, across all of the machine and material configurations that we tested, even in materials that we had never printed before. Rather than using direct parameters in FFF printing, which is time-consuming to tune and modify, it is possible to deploy machine-generated data that captures the fundamental phenomenology of FFF to automatically select parameters.…”
