Mapping miRNA research in schizophrenia: a scientometric review by Lim, Mengyu, Carollo, Alessandro, Neoh, Michelle Jin Yee, Esposito, Gianluca

“…Although a relatively new field of research, this area of study has progressed sufficiently to warrant dozens of reviews summarising findings from past to present. However, as a majority of reviews cannot encapsulate the full body of research, there is still a need to synthesise the diversity of publications made in this area in a systematic but easy-to-understand manner. …”

Biomolecular topology: modelling and analysis by Liu, Jian, Xia, Ke-Lin, Wu, Jie, Yau, Stephen Shing-Toung, Wei, Guo-Wei

“…The high dimensionality, structural complexity, the nonlinearity, and entanglements of biomolecular data, ranging from DNA knots, RNA secondary structures, protein folding configurations, chromosomes, DNA origami, molecular assembly, to others at the macromolecular level, pose a severe challenge in their analysis and characterization. In the past few decades, mathematical concepts, models, algorithms, and tools from algebraic topology, combinatorial topology, computational topology, and topological data analysis, have demonstrated great power and begun to play an essential role in tackling the biomolecular data challenge. …”

Acoustic focusing by a double layered acoustic grating by Du, Liangfen, Saini, Abhishek, Sun, Zeqing, Chen, Jian, Fan, Zheng

“…Acoustic focusing has wide applications in many domains including non-destructive evaluation, medical diagnosis and particle manipulation. In the past decades, due to their outstanding capacity of wave manipulation, acoustic metasurfaces (AMSs) based on various structures, such as coiling-up space structures, Helmholtz-resonator-like structures and membrane-type structures, have been proposed to achieve different functionalities including acoustic focusing. …”

Three essays on national and organizational cultures by Kawasaki, Shota

“…Chapter 2 illustrates a novel pathway linking employees’ perceptions of organizational cultural strength to job satisfaction and organizational commitment via organizational nostalgia (i.e., one’s sentimental longing or wistful affection for past organizational events). This chapter also shows that the relevance of organizational nostalgia to employee well-being becomes more pronounced when employees work in the office compared to when working remotely. …”
