Strain-specific parallel evolution drives short-term diversification during Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm formation by McElroy, Kerensa E., Hui, Janice G. K., Woo, Jerry K. K., Luk, Alison W. S., Webb, Jeremy S., Kjelleberg, Staffan, Rice, Scott A., Thomas, Torsten

“…Taken together, these results suggest that the majority of the P. aeruginosa genome is constrained by negative selection, with strong positive selection acting on an accessory subset of genes that facilitate adaptation to the biofilm lifecycle. Long-term bacterial evolution is known to proceed via few, nonsynonymous, positively selected mutations, and here we show that similar dynamics govern short-term, within-population bacterial diversification.…”

A nonclassical monocyte phenotype in peripheral blood is associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease : a report from an EMIL subcohort by Wang, Yan, Oeztuerk, Suemeyra, Kratzer, Wolfgang, Boehm, Bernhard Otto

“…The nonclassical monocyte fraction and classical monocyte fraction were significantly correlated with waist-to-hip ratio. This pilot long-term follow-up study suggests that nonclassical monocyte fraction and total monocyte fraction might have potential as a prognostic and modifiable biomarker in NFALD patients. …”

Investigation of solar cell carrier lifetime using photoconductance lifetime measurements by Sng, Joseph Ding Wen

“…The results obtained show that among the three transition metal oxides, the Si wafer passivated with MoOx has the highest lifetime of 69.6 μs and lowest surface recombination velocity of 464.95 cm/s. The long lifetime achieved through the passivation is important for realizing good efficiency for the Si/TMO heterojunction solar cell. …”
