Investigating Factors Influencing Consumer Willingness to Buy GM Food and Nano-food by Yue, Chengyan, Zhao, Shuoli, Cummings, Christopher, Kuzma, Jennifer

“…As such, it is important to understand the factors that influence consumer desires for labeling and their willingness-to-buy (WTB) these food products. Using data from a national survey with US consumers, this study employs structural equation modeling to explore relationships between potential influences such as trust in government to manage technologies, views on restrictive government policies, perceptions about risks and benefits, and preferences for labeling on consumer’s WTB genetically modified (GM) and nano-food products. …”

Dok3 restrains neutrophil production of calprotectin during TLR4 sensing of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein by Loh, Jia Tong, Teo, Joey Kay Hui, Lam, Kong-Peng

“…In this study, we showed that Dok3 adaptor restrains calprotectin production by neutrophils in response to SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein engagement of TLR4. Dok3 recruits SHP-2 to mediate the de-phosphorylation of MyD88 at Y257, thereby attenuating downstream JAK2-STAT3 signaling and calprotectin production. …”

Bio-inspired categorization using event-driven feature extraction and spike-based learning by Zhao, Bo, Chen, Shoushun, Tang, Huajin

“…Bio-inspired, cortex-like, spikebased features are obtained through event-driven convolution and neural competition. The extracted spike feature patterns are then classified by a network of leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) spiking neurons, in which the weights are trained using tempotron learning rule. …”
