Two for tau: automated model discovery reveals two-stage tau aggregation dynamics in Alzheimer’s disease by Stockman, CA, Goriely, A, Kuhl, E, Jerusalem, A, Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative

“…When trained on data from amyloid-𝛽 positive and negative subjects, the neural network clearly distinguishes between both groups and uncovers a more subtle relationship between amyloid-𝛽 and tau than previously postulated. In line with the amyloid-tau dual pathway hypothesis, our results show that the presence of toxic amyloid-𝛽 influences the accumulation of tau, particularly in the earlier disease stages. …”

Key Factors in Developing a Holistic Framework for Partnering in Sustainable Campus Development (S/O 13371) by Abdul Nifa, Faizatul Akmar, Salleh, Nurul Azita, Mohd Nawi, Mohd Nasrun

“…This rapid expansion of the education industry is also reflected by the increasing number of foreign universities launching local campuses in Malaysia. In line with the government's aim to place Malaysia as the top higher education provider in this region, it is imperative that campus development is at par with international universities especially in the matters of sustainability. …”

Densification behaviour and sintering mechanisms of Cu- or Co-doped SnO2 : a comparative study by Zhang, T. S., Kong, Ling Bing, Song, X. C., Du, Z. H., Xu, W. Q., Li, S.

“….% Cu- or Co-doped SnO2 ceramics could reach over 95% relative density when sintered to 1250 °C with a heating rate of 5 °C min−1. It was found that both CoO4/3- and CuO-doped SnO2 follow the same mass transport mechanism – viscous flow sintering during early-stage sintering. …”

Divergent reactivity of phosphapalladacycles toward E-H (E = N, P, As) bonds by Tay, Wee Shan, Li, Yongxin, Pullarkat, Sumod A., Leung, Pak-Hing

“…In the latter, HAsPh2 afforded the preligands of monomeric, dimeric, bidentate, and tridentate complexes of Pd in excellent yields of 95-98% within 30 min at room temperature. Key reaction steps for the intramolecular insertion of As-H into the Pd-C bond were outlined, and the effects of regioisomerism on the ortho-protonation pathway were evaluated.…”
