Overexpression of 4EBP1, p70S6K, Akt1 or Akt2 differentially promotes Coxsackievirus B3-induced apoptosis in HeLa cells by Xing, X., Huang, L., Li, X., Li, Z., Zhou, W., Tian, L., Chen, J., Chen, C., Ma, Xing, Yang, Z.

“…And then, we established the stable transfected cell lines. Next, after CVB3 infection, apoptosis in different groups was determined by flow cytometry; the expressions of Bim, Bax, caspase-9 and caspase-3 were examined by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and western blot analysis; the expression of CVB3 mRNA and viral capsid protein VP1 were also analyzed by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR, western blot analysis and immunofluorescence, respectively. …”

Cross-layer host-network co-design for QoS in streamed video data networking by Nan, Ya

“…The proposed design faces the challenge of constraints of both computation resources at the edge servers and network bandwidth of the edge-cloud links. An accuracy gradient-based resource allocation algorithm is proposed to allocate the limited computation and network resources across different video streams to achieve the maximum overall performance. …”

Investigating S-acylation in the metabolic dysfunction of the T2D heart by Dennis, KMJH

“…The lipid post translational modification <em>S</em>-acylation has been linked to regulating CD36 trafficking. However, it remains unknown whether CD36 is <em>S</em>-acylated in the heart and whether CD36 <em>S</em>-acylation levels are altered in T2D.…”

How to learn Chinese characters? Exploring the effectiveness of different learning methods in young Singaporean children by Toh, Wendy Hwee Bin

“…In Experiment 2, it was revealed that generally, the repeated practice of character writing was more effective compared to repeatedly writing its Pinyin, especially among the low RA children. The findings of Experiment 3 demonstrated that the structured writing modality was effective for character learning and retention, be it focusing on radical/component or stroke sequence. …”

Institutions and agricultural transformation: a study of induced innovation in the Philippine rice sector by Montesclaros, Jose Ma. Luis P.

“…The 2019 Rice Tariffication Law is highlighted as a key “path-breaking” event which contributed to addressing not only the rice trade protectionism problem but also in part the farmers’ capitalisation problems. These findings imply the need for more nuanced approaches in promoting agricultural transformation which consider the roles of broader macroeconomic policies and their lingering impacts, to more effectively “securitise” the food sector.…”

Sound event recognition in unstructured environments using spectrogram image processing by Dennis, Jonathan William

“…The motivation for such an approach is based on finding an automatic approach to ``spectrogram reading'', where it is possible for humans to visually recognise the different sound event signatures in the spectrogram. …”

Structural study of ribosome : 1) structural basis of EF-G in translocation. 2) molecular mechanism of ribosome-dependent toxin YoeB in mRNA cleavage by Chen, Yun

“…The positioning of the catalytic His87 into the active site is coupled to the hydrophobic-gate opening and involves the ribosomal 23S rRNA sarcin-ricin loop as well as domain III of EF-G. These findings provide a structural basis for the GTPase activation of EF-G, based on which, a substrate-promoted mechanism is proposed. …”

The effects of exercise, heat-induced hypo-hydration and rehydration on blood–brain-barrier permeability, corticospinal and peripheral excitability by Uddin, N, Scott, J, Nixon, J, Patterson, SD, Kidgell, D, Pearce, AJ, Waldron, M, Tallent, J

“…Serum UCH-L1 increased across time for all conditions (p &lt; 0.001) but was not significantly different between conditions. Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate an increase in corticospinal inhibition after exercise with fluid ingestion, but a decrease in corticospinal excitability after heat-induced hypo-hydration. …”

Characterization of liposome-encapsulated tylosin, in vitro Cytotoxicity and its antibacterial activitiy against Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis isolated from goats by Saddiqi, Mohammad Ehsan

“…The release behaviour of tylosin from the conventional liposomes is based on initial fast release followed by sustained and slow-released as compared to free tylosin. Cytotoxicity findings revealed higher cell viability (above 70%) for liposomal tylosin and below 70% for free tylosin at a high concentration of 1024 μg/mL. …”
