What Dicey forgot by Barber, NW

“…This chapter argues that the imperial critique of Dicey is correct, but that the remedy can be found in Dicey’s own work, in his discussion of sovereignty and in the hints he dropped about the social basis of the rule of law. In each case, a link is drawn between the community and the law that regulates it, a link that renders the rule of law morally defensible and efficacious. …”

Structural and biochemical mechanisms of NLRP1 inhibition by DPP9 by Huang, Menghang, Zhang, Xiaoxiao, Toh, Gee Ann, Gong, Qin, Wang, Jia, Han, Zhifu, Wu, Bin, Zhong, Franklin, Chai, Jijie

“…Here we present structural and biochemical evidence that full-length rat NLRP1 (rNLRP1) and rat DPP9 (rDPP9) form a 2:1 complex that contains an autoinhibited rNLRP1 molecule and an active UPA-CARD fragment of rNLRP1. The ZU5 domain is required not only for autoinhibition of rNLRP1 but also for assembly of the 2:1 complex. …”

The influence of contemporary sales determinants and moderating effect of customer organisational citizenship behaviour on sales performance in Singapore’s business-to-consumer mar... by Tham, Weng Kin

“…In the second phase, quantitative analyses using responses from 93 active salespeople tested the relationships between the five determinants, COCB, and sales performance. The hierarchical regression analyses revealed that all five identified key sales determinants significantly predicted sales performance. …”

Combined 2D and 3D features for robust RGB-D visual odometry by Cai, Pei

“…Some works attempt to address this issue by incorporating line features. However, these methods still extract line features merely based on 2D RGB images, resulting in a restricted utilization of the environment’s 3D structural information and therefore providing only limited performance improvement. …”

Elucidating the genomic and transcriptomic profiles contributing to the overall survival of acute myeloid leukaemia patients with normal karyotype in Malaysia by Ambayya @ Ampiah, A Angeli

“…The transcriptome sequencing yielded discoveries of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) profiles and functionally enriched pathways in several subgroup analyses as follows: AML-NK patients with the healthy normal groups (5126 DEGs), paired DX and CR1 (5621 DEGs), FLT3/NPM1 genotypes (750 DEGs), and OS of below and above five years (211 DEGs). There were 27 types of fusion genes (n=68) discovered in this study, of which several novel recurrent fusion genes, including LATS2-SAP18 and HOXA3-HOXA9, exhibited prognostic relevance in patients with OS below five years. …”

Examples of topologically unknotted tori by Juhasz, A, Powell, M

“…It is unclear whether these tori are smoothly unknotted, except for tori with four critical points whose middle level set is a split link. The double cover of S^4 branched along any of these surfaces is a potentially exotic copy of S^2 x S^2, and, in the case of turned twisted tori, we show they cannot be distinguished from S^2 x S^2 using Seiberg-Witten invariants.…”
