Implementation of a novel distributed traffic light scheduling strategy in a large scale urban traffic network simulated by VISSIM by Yeo, Terence Zhen Hong

“…Results showed that the traffic scheduling strategy is effective in reducing queue delay times for links with the higher traffic volume. Future work would be required to implement the strategy in the large scale urban simulation model.…”

Near-Infrared Fluorescent Molecular Probe for Sensitive Imaging of Keloid by Miao, Qingqing, Yeo, David Chenloong, Wiraja, Christian, Zhang, Jianjian, Ning, Xiaoyu, Xu, Chenjie, Pu, Kanyi

“…As keloid cells have high expression levels of fibroblast activation protein-alpha (FAPα), the probe (FNP1) is designed to have a caged NIR dye and a FAPα-cleavable peptide substrate linked by a self-immolative segment. FNP1 can quickly and specifically turn on its fluorescence at 710 nm by 45-fold in the presence of FAPα, allowing it to effectively recognize keloid cells from normal skin cells. …”

GWTC-2.1: Deep extended catalog of compact binary coalescences observed by LIGO and Virgo during the first half of the third observing run

“…We also expand the population of binaries with significantly asymmetric mass ratios reported in GWTC-2 by an additional two events (the mass ratio is less than 0.65 and 0.44 at 90% probability for GW190403_051519 and GW190917_114630 respectively), and find that two of the eight new events have effective inspiral spins χ eff > 0 (at 90% credibility), while no binary is consistent with χ eff < 0 at the same significance. …”

Precursors and correlates of transient and persistent longitudinal profiles of psychotic experiences from late childhood through early adulthood by Rammos, A, Sullivan, SA, Kounali, D, Jones, HJ, Hammerton, G, Hines, LA, Lewis, G, Jones, PB, Cannon, M, Thompson, A, Wolke, D, Heron, J, Zammit, S

“…Thus, it might be that the severity of exposure, rather than the presence of specific disease-modifying factors, is most likely to determine whether psychotic experiences are transient or persist, and potentially develop into a clinical disorder over time.…”
