Correlation between optical absorption redshift and carrier density in phase change materials by Ho, H. W., Song, W. D., Bai, K., Branicio, P. S., Tan, Teck L., Ji, R., Law, L. T., Ng, C. M., Lan, Wang.

“…We found that, with phase change from amorphous to crystalline, the observed redshift increases with Ge concentration along pseudo-line of compositions, which directly reflects the enhanced electron delocalization/resonant bonding and increased carrier concentrations in the respective crystal compounds. …”

Hierarchical TiO2 nanoflakes and nanoparticles hybrid structure for improved photocatalytic activity by Tang, Yuxin, Wee, Peixin, Lai, Yuekun, Wang, Xiaoping, Gong, Dangguo, Kanhere, Pushkar D., Lim, Teik-Thye, Dong, Zhili, Chen, Zhong

“…The nanostructure of hierarchical microspheres undergoes three evolution steps, which includes the change from nanosheets into hybrid nanoflakes/nanoparticles and finally to nanoparticles as calcination temperature increases, in line with the predicable trend of increase in crystallinity and decrease in specific surface area. …”

Investigating the role of phosphatases in the regulation of mitosis by Leitch, I

“…</p> <p>This study also demonstrates the role of PLK1 activity in the initial recruitment of the phosphatase PP2A-B56 to kinetochores using a fluorescently labelled B56 CRISPR cell line. Additional tools for investigating the role of PLK1 in the formation of stable kinetochore-microtubule attachments are also generated and preliminary experiments carried out.…”

Chloroquine has shown high therapeutic efficacy against uncomplicated Plasmodium vivax malaria in southern Ethiopia: seven decades after its introduction by Mare, AK, Mohammed, H, Sime, H, Hailgiorgis, H, Gubae, K, Gidey, B, Haile, M, Assefa, G, Bekele, W, Auburn, S, Price, R, Parr, JB, Juliano, JJ, Tasew, G, Abay, SM, Assefa, A

“…<p><strong>Background: </strong><em>Plasmodium vivax</em> malaria is a leading cause of morbidity in Ethiopia. The first-line treatment for <em>P. vivax</em> is chloroquine (CQ) and primaquine (PQ), but there have been local reports of CQ resistance. …”

The mechanisms of sleep restriction therapy for insomnia disorder by Maurer, LF

“…While pharmacological treatment is available, the current recommended first-line intervention is a multi-component psychological therapy called cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I). …”

Role of Tau and NRF2 in oxidative stress responses by Ameyaw, B

“…In the neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y, which expresses high levels of Tau, Tau KO led to increased oxidative stress, reversible by re-expressing Tau, but not fully rescued by NRF2 upregulation or microtubule stabilisation.…”

Autoimmune encephalitis by Irani, SR

“…Observational studies provide the mainstay of evidence guiding first- and second-line immunotherapy administration in autoimmune encephalitis and, whereas these typically result in some clinical improvements, almost all patients have residual neuropsychiatric deficits, and many experience clinical relapses. …”

Literary metatranslation: understanding the multiple in post-communist Poland by Szymanska, K

“…In discussing the ethical ideas underpinning these works, I demonstrate how literary metatranslations and their gesture of acknowledging more than one view and line of thinking could also undermine totalised discourses and put forward a more democratic agenda.…”

Structural basis of haptoglobin-haemoglobin scavenging by CD163 by Zhou, X

“…Haptoglobin (Hp) acts as the first line of defence by scavenging Hb in the serum. Humans produce three major Hp phenotypes, the dimeric Hp 1-1 as well as the multimeric Hp 2-1 and 2-2. …”

PRMT5 controls the innate immune response by Zhang, C

“…We hypothesised that PRMT5 inhibition could increase retained introns (RIs) in the colorectal cancer cell line HCT116, leading to the production of immunogenic double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs). …”

Population genomics and transcriptomics of Plasmodium falciparum in Cambodia and Vietnam uncover key components of the artemisinin resistance genetic background by Nayak, S, Peto, TJ, Kucharski, M, Tripura, R, Callery, JJ, Quang Huy, DT, Gendrot, M, Lek, D, Nghia, HDT, van der Pluijm, RW, Dong, N, Long, LT, Vongpromek, R, Rekol, H, Hoang Chau, N, Miotto, O, Mukaka, M, Dhorda, M, von Seidlein, L, Imwong, M, Roca, X, Day, NPJ, White, NJ, Dondorp, AM

“…The emergence of Plasmodium falciparum parasites resistant to artemisinins compromises the efficacy of Artemisinin Combination Therapies (ACTs), the global first-line malaria treatment. Artemisinin resistance is a complex genetic trait in which nonsynonymous SNPs in PfK13 cooperate with other genetic variations. …”

The unintended consequences of information system change on organizational memory: remembering and forgetting in English and Ontarian child protection services by Vogl, TM

“…Information technology change in this sector is ostensibly aimed at addressing key challenges exposed by child death reviews, performance audits, and research into child outcomes, such as the issue of past information not being available for front-line or policy decision making. However, the promise of digitization was not always achieved. …”
