A Tensor Compiler with Automatic Data Packing for Simple and Efficient Fully Homomorphic Encryption by Krastev, Aleksandar, Samardzic, Nikola, Langowski, Simon, Devadas, Srinivas, Sanchez, Daniel

“…We evaluate on both a state-of-the-art FHE accelerator and a CPU. is the first compiler that matches or exceeds the performance of large hand-optimized FHE applications, like deep neural networks, and outperforms a state-of-the-art FHE compiler by gmean 18.5. At the same time, dramatically simplifies programming, reducing code size by 10–48.…”

Scaffold-mediated sustained, non-viral delivery of miR-219/miR-338 promotes CNS remyelination by Milbreta, Ulla, Lin, Junquan, Pinese, Coline, Ong, William, Chin, Jiah Shin, Shirahama, Hitomi, Mi, Ruifa, Williams, Anna, Bechler, Marie E., Wang, Jun, ffrench-Constant, Charles, Hoke, Ahmet, Chew, Sing Yian

“…Using spinal cord injury as a proof-of-concept, we further demonstrate that miR-219/miR-338 could also be delivered non-virally in vivo using an aligned fiber-hydrogel scaffold to enhance remyelination after a hemi-incision injury at C5 level of Sprague-Dawley rats. Specifically, miR-219/miR-338 mimics were incorporated as complexes with the carrier, TransIT-TKO (TKO), together with neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) within hybrid scaffolds that comprised poly(caprolactone-co-ethyl ethylene phosphate) (PCLEEP)-aligned fibers and collagen hydrogel. …”

Whence came these plants most foul? Phylogenomics and biogeography of Lowiaceae (Zingiberales) by Niissalo, Matti A., Gardner, Elliot M., Khew, Gillian S., Šída, Otakar, Poulsen, Axel Dalberg, Leong-Škornicková, Jana

“…In particular, the relatively early isolation between Indochina and Borneo could be explained by the presence of a sea barrier that developed 10–15 MYA, and the continuous movement of plant species between Borneo and Peninsular Malaysia could be explained by a land bridge that existed until c. 5 MYA. The lack of an extensive land bridge with a suitable habitat may explain the absence of this genus from Sumatra and other Indonesian islands aside from Borneo. …”
