Natural IgG antibodies provide innate protection against ficolin-opsonized bacteria by Panda, Saswati, Zhang, Jing, Tan, Nguan Soon, Ho, Bow, Ding, Jeak Ling

“…Here, we show for the first time that natural IgG recognizes a spectrum of bacteria through lectins like ficolin and mannose binding lectin (MBL). Infection‐inflammation condition markedly increased the affinity of natural IgG for bacteria associated with ficolins. …”

Singles' reasons for being single : empirical evidence from an evolutionary perspective by Apostolou, Menelaos, O, Jiaqing, Esposito, Gianluca

“…Younger people were more likely to indicate that they were single because they had poor flirting skills, because they did not see themselves as desirable mates, and because they did not like commitment; whereas older people were more likely to indicate that they were single in order to be free to do what they have wanted. …”

Receding horizon control of a 3 DOF helicopter using online estimation of aerodynamic parameters by Mehndiratta, Mohit, Kayacan, Erdal

“…Two reference trajectories, namely, sinusoidal and square-like, are tracked, and owing to the better learning capability of NMHE over EKF, the NMPC-NMHE closed-loop control framework is able to track both reference signals with more accuracy than the NMPC-EKF control framework, even under parameter uncertainties. …”
