Low toxicity and long circulation time of Polyampholyte-coated magnetic nanoparticles for blood pool contrast agents by Wang, Qi, Shen, Ming, Zhao, Tao, Xu, Yuanyuan, Lin, Jiang, Duan, Yourong, Gu, Hongchen

“…The results showed that PAMNPs at the working concentration (0.138 mM) present similar hemocompatibility with negative control, thus have no significant effect to vessels. PAMNPs were mainly distributed in the liver and the blood. The circulation time in blood was considerably long, with the half-time of 3.77 h in plasma. …”

Ligand substitutions between ruthenium–cymene compounds can control protein versus DNA targeting and anticancer activity by Davey, Curt Alexander, Adhireksan, Zenita, Davey, Gabriela E., Campomanes, Pablo, Groessl, Michael, Clavel, Catherine M., Yu, Haojie, Nazarov, Alexey A., Yeo, Charmian Hui Fang, Ang, Wee Han, Dröge, Peter, Rothlisberger, Ursula, Dyson, Paul J.

“…Using a novel ‘atom-to-cell’ approach, we establish the basis for the surprisingly site-selective adduct formation behaviour and distinct cellular impact of these two chemically similar anticancer agents, which suggests that the cytotoxic effects arise largely from DNA lesions, whereas the protein adducts may be linked to the other therapeutic activities. Our study shows promise for developing new ruthenium drugs, via ligand-based modulation of DNA versus protein binding and thus cytotoxic potential, to target distinguishing epigenetic features of cancer cells.…”

Model Predictive Control of High Power Converters and Industrial Drives / by Geyer, Tobias, 1975-, author 656156

“…In this original book on model predictive control (MPC) for power electronics, the focus is put on high-power applications with multilevel converters operating at switching frequencies well below 1 kHz, such as medium-voltage drives and modular multi-level converters. Consisting of two main parts, the first offers a detailed review of three-phase power electronics, electrical machines, carrier-based pulse width modulation, optimized pulse patterns, state-of-the art converter control methods and the principle of MPC. …”

Self-Assembly of a Biologically Plausible Learning Circuit by Liao, Qianli, Ziyin, Liu, Gan, Yulu, Cheung, Brian, Harnett, Mark, Poggio, Tomaso

“…Over the last four decades, the amazing success of deep learning has been driven by the use of Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) as the main optimization technique. The default implementation for the computation of the gradient for SGD is backpropagation, which, with its variations, is used to this day in almost all computer implementations. …”

Study of risk management adoption on firm value as effected by board's independence. by Chen, Kaiyu., Hwee, Andrew Ji-Feng., Toh, Han Boon.

“…Given the lack of prior empirical studies done with regards to the relationship between the varying degree of risk management adoption and firm value, we build upon our studies based on the postulations of Meulbroek (2002) and also other prior discussions of risk management and corporate governance with firm value. The main implication of our research is that the emergence and growing importance of risk management is not unfounded. …”
