On the higher-order edge toughness of a graph by Chen, C.C., Koh, K.M., Peng, Y.H.

“…For an integer c, 1≤c≤{curly logical or}V(G){curly logical or}-1, we define the cth-order edge toughness of a graph G as tc(G)=min |X| ω(G-X)-cX⊆E(G) & ω(G-X)>c The objective of this paper is to study this generalized concept of edge toughness. …”

Fungal colonization of rice straw and palm press fibre in the rumen of cattle and buffalo by Ho, Y.W., Abdullah, N., Jalaludin, S.

“…In both animal species, attachment to rice straw by rumen fungal zoospores was rapid, within 15 min of rumen incubation. At 6 h of rumen incubation, thin- and thick-walled tissues were colonized by fungal hyphae and by 24 h fungal colonization was extensive. …”

Public bus transit service modeling and optimization: from conventional to autonomous vehicles by Tian, Qingyun

“…In the first part, this thesis proposes a novel tri-level model for a transit service operation design problem that primarily determines the optimal bus line frequency setting. Unlike the existing studies, the strategy choices of passengers in presence of congested common lines are explicitly considered. …”

A comparative analysis of ENCODE and Cistrome in the context of TF binding signal by Perna, Stefano, Pinoli, Pietro, Ceri, Stefano, Wong, Limsoon

“…Results: We provide evidence that data points with high signalValue(s) (top 25% of values) are more likely to be consistent between ENCODE and Cistrome in human cell lines K562, GM12878, and HepG2. In addition, we show that filtering according to said high values improves the quality of predictions for a machine learning algorithm that detects transcription factor interactions based only on positional information. …”

Anti-leukaemic and chemotherapy supportive effects of berberis vulgaris l. Fruit crude extract on in vitro and in vivo models by Saedi, Tayebeh Azam

“…For the in vitro method, cytotoxic effects of BVFCE were evaluated using MTT assay to determine the IC50 values and compare with non-leukaemic cell line (The 3T3 cell). Observation of the morphological changes in the treated leukaemic cell lines with BVFCE and Doxorubicin (Doxo) was examined using inverted microscope. …”
