Viral content: a theory of vaccine hesitancy based on information encountering in the greater Manila area, Philippines by Sacramento, Simon Philip R., Sipin, Ian Dominic P.

“…Background: Ground experiences of the researchers indicate substantial concern about the side-effects of the AstraZeneca vaccine in some individuals who lined up to get vaccinated. The Philippine Department of Health, Food and Drug Administration temporarily suspended the administration of the AstraZeneca vaccine to persons below 60 years old on April 8, 2021, due to reports of “rare cases of blood clots with low platelets detected in some individuals inoculated with the vaccine.” …”

Operando electrodeposition of nonprecious metal copper nanocatalysts on low-dimensional support materials for nitrate reduction reactions by Tan, Shu Fen, Roslie, Hany, Salim, Teddy, Han, Zengyu, Wu, Dongshuang, Liang, Caihong, Teo, Lim Fong, Lam, Yeng Ming

“…By combining real-time imaging, electrochemical measurements, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and finite-element analysis (FEA), we show that low-dimensional support materials, especially carbon nanotubes, are excellent for generating uniform and finely dispersed platinum group metal-(PGM)-free catalysts under mild electrochemical conditions. …”

Interleukin-26 (IL-26) is a novel anti-microbial peptide produced by T cells in response to staphylococcal enterotoxin by Woetmann, Anders, Alhede, Morten, Dabelsteen, Sally, Bjarnsholt, Thomas, Rybtke, Morten, Nastasi, Claudia, Krejsgaard, Thorbjørn, Andersen, Mads Hald, Bonefeld, Charlotte M., Geisler, Carsten, Givskov, Michael, Odum, Niels

“…Here we show that (i) skin T cells in chronic wounds infected with S. aureus express interleukin-26 (IL-26) in situ, (ii) staphylococcal enterotoxins (SE) trigger IL-26 expression in T cell lines and primary skin T cells, and (iii) IL-26 triggers death and inhibits biofilm formation and growth of S. aureus. …”

Entangled exclusions: borders, frontiers and urban geopolitics from northeast India by Das, P, Mittal, G, Sarma, J

“…These have, in turn, led to further displacement, enclavization, and ghettoization of minority communities who are deemed ‘non-native’ along ethnocentric lines. Taking two cases from Shillong and Guwahati, we introduce the concept of entangled exclusions to analyse the layered, intertwined, multi-scalar nature of divides within these frontier cities. …”

Automatic metric 3D surface mesh generation using subdivision surface geometrical model. Part 1 : construction of underlying geometrical model by Lee, Chi King

“…By using the subdivision surface concept, the new mesh generator can generate finite element meshes to model a wide range of surfaces which may contain sharp features such as cusp points and crease lines. When comparing with other traditional algorithms which use analytical surface patches as the underlying geometrical model, the new mesh generation scheme can be used in applications such as large deformation or crack analyses in which the domains to be gridded are not well defined or involve changing boundaries. …”
