Estimating evolutionary and demographic parameters via ARG-derived IBD by Huang, Z, Kelleher, J, Chan, Y, Balding, D

“…Inference of evolutionary and demographic parameters from a sample of genome sequences often proceeds by first inferring identical-by-descent (IBD) genome segments. By exploiting efficient data encoding based on the ancestral recombination graph (ARG), we obtain three major advantages over current approaches: (i) no need to impose a length threshold on IBD segments, (ii) IBD can be defined without the hard-to-verify requirement of no recombination, and (iii) computation time can be reduced with little loss of statistical efficiency using only the IBD segments from a set of sequence pairs that scales linearly with sample size. …”

Modelling the rheology of living cell cytoplasm: poroviscoelasticity and fluid-to-solid transition by Thekkethil, Namshad, Köry, Jakub, Guo, Ming, Stewart, Peter S., Hill, Nicholas A., Luo, Xiaoyu

“…Baseline simulations (neglecting the viscosity of the cytosol) indicate that the system exhibits seven different regimes across the parameter space spanned by the viscoelastic relaxation timescale of the cytoskeleton and the poroelastic diffusion timescale; these regimes agree qualitatively with experimental measurements. …”

Determining targets for antiretroviral drug concentrations: a causal framework illustrated with pediatric efavirenz data from the CHAPAS-3 trial by Schomaker, M, Denti, P, Bienczak, A, Burger, D, Díaz, I, Gibb, DM, Walker, AS, McIlleron, H

“…<p><strong>Background:&nbsp;</strong>Determining a therapeutic window for maintaining antiretroviral drug concentrations within an appropriate range is required for identifying effective dosing regimens. The limits of this window are typically calculated using predictive models. …”

Thermoplastic polymer nanocomposites based on polydopamine-coated clay : preparation, structures and properties by Phua, Si Lei

“…This strong interfacial interaction between D-clay and hard segments not only facilitates the stress transfer across the filler and polymer matrix, but also acts as nucleating agent for hard segment crystallization, leading to higher hard segment crystallinity. …”

The four worlds of ‘welfare reality’ – social risks and outcomes in Europe by Ferragina, E, Seeleib-Kaiser, M, Spreckelsen, T

“…After three decades of welfare state crisis, change and transformation can we still speak of welfare state regimes when looking at their outcomes? The analysis of outcomes provides a picture of ‘the real worlds of welfare’ and is of considerable importance to understanding political legitimacy across countries. …”
