SPP/LSP coupled hybrid mode directed multi-functional surface-enhanced Raman system by Du, Luping

“…Meanwhile, due to the extremely narrow linewidth of Raman peaks, the SPCE curve of SERS can also be employed for measuring the propagation length of SPPs and quantitatively characterizing the point spread function of an SPCE microscopy. Last but not least, as a promising application, the two-dimensional mapping of the strongly-dominant longitudinal field component of SPPs was realized based on the SERS imaging. …”

Use of Mid Upper-Arm Circumference (MUAC) as screening tool in an urban township in the Eastern Cape: rationale for testing changed cut-off values to identify malnutrition by McLaren, Shawn, Steenkamp, Liana, Venter, Danie

“…The r-value (0.78) for the relationship between WHZ and MUAC suggests a dependent relationship between these two indicators. The least squares regression formula (Y = 15.409 + 0.803x (males); Y = 15.13 + 0.83x (females)) was then used to predict where WHZ = -2 is most likely to correspond with a MUAC value in cm. …”

Vaccines: The Health of Nations - A Paradigm Shift by Datta, Shoumen

“…"The Health of Nations" is a review/summary of research results over the past 30+ years which indicates that untreated, raw, plant products (leafs, stems, roots) may be effective in delivering antigens (e.g. viral proteins engineered in recombinant vectors for production in transgenic plant tissue) to humans and animals to vaccinate against future infections (e.g. emerging threat from viruses with pandemic potential). …”

Towards Synergistic Understanding of Language Processing in Biological and Artificial Systems by Hosseini Asl, Eghbal

“…Despite decades of research aimed at uncovering the neural mechanisms underlying activity in this network, a computationally precise account has remained elusive. Over the past five years, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have achieved capabilities in the comprehension and production of language that are indistinguishable from those of humans, and their internal representations bear similarity to activity within the language network. …”

Tectonic influences on late Holocene relative sea levels from the central-eastern Adriatic coast of Croatia by Shaw, Timothy Adam, Plater, Andrew J., Kirby, Jason R., Roy, Keven, Holgate, Simon, Tutman, Pero, Cahill, Niamh, Horton, Benjamin Peter

“…Here, we compare reconstructions of RSL from the central-eastern Adriatic coast of Croatia with ICE-7G_NA (VM7) glacial-isostatic model RSL predictions to assess underlying driving mechanisms of RSL change during the past ∼ 2700 years. Local standardized published sea-level index points (n = 23) were combined with a new salt-marsh RSL reconstruction and tide-gauge measurements. …”

“…Although from the 1950s till now, the status of women in Singapore has been improving constantly, but in the 1970s, the improvement of women’s status is not as significant as compared to the past 20 years and from the 1980s and beyond. It was only in 1980 when the Singapore Council of Women’s Organizations was established that encouraged Singaporean women to be more proactive once again in fighting for their own rights to improve their status further. …”
