Redefining Ancient Epirus

“…Yet while the history of the region is well-known, thanks to a combination of historical studies and major Greek myths, its archaeology has remained relatively little studied. …”

Prolonged release of risperidone via gastro retentive drug delivery device by Kwan, Audrey Kai Xin

“…For PLGA:PLLA (1:1) free particles, it fits well in the Higuchi model in the first three days (r2 = 0.9944), and subsequent release follows the Hixson-Crowell model (r2= 0.9668). …”

Investigation of NOT1 proteins in regulating gene expression in plasmodium falciparum by Liu, Ying

“…Furthermore, I found that differential mRNA abundance in the two mutants is correlated to that in Caf1 mutant and Alba1 mutant. I propose that NOT1.1 and NOT1.2 compete to be the scaffold of the CCR4-NOT complex and regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally by modulating the functions of their interacting proteins, including CAF1 and ALBA1, which are key players in mRNA metabolism.…”

Effects of wood composition in 3D printing of wood-polylactic acid composites by Lim, Sean Zhi Xuan

“…Flexural strength testing demonstrated that PLA's mechanical properties are superior to wood composites; however, the addition of PLA to wood increases the stiffness and strength of the material. …”

Electrospun conductive polyaniline–polylactic acid composite nanofibers as counter electrodes for rigid and flexible dye-sensitized solar cells by Mhaisalkar, Subodh Gautam, Ramakrishna, Seeram, Peng, Shengjie, Zhu, Peining, Wu, Yongzhi

“…In addition, the rigid PANI·CSA–PLA-based DSC demonstrates good stability. As the PANI·CSA–PLA counter electrodes can be obtained in a short time at room temperature, they are potentially applicable in large-area DSCs and suitable for flexible DSCs.…”

Investigating the difference between the acute effects of consecutive and non-consecutive days of resistance exercise on the immune system by Teo, Hilary Wei Jian

“…There was significant main effect of time on WBC (p < 0.001), NE (p = 0.041), BA (p = 0.006) and PLA (p < 0.001). Both groups induced similar temporal changes following multiple bouts of RE in NE, BA and PLA. …”

Aging is associated with prolonged hospitalisation stay in pyogenic liver abscess - A 1:1 propensity score matched study in elderly versus non-elderly patients by Chan, Kai Siang, Junnarkar, Sameer P., Low, Jee Keem, Huey, Terence Cheong Wei, Shelat, Vishal G.

“…Background: Mortality of pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) is high ranging 10%–40%. Old age predicts outcomes in many diseases but there is paucity of data on PLA outcomes. …”

Quantitative proteomics reveals CLR interactome in primary human cells by Manolis, D, Hasan, S, Maraveyas, A, O'Brien, DP, Kessler, BM, Kramer, H, Nikitenko, LL

“…We used primary human dermal lymphatic endothelial cells and combined immunoprecipitation (IP) utilising anti-human CLR antibody with label-free quantitative nano-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (nano LC-MS/MS) and quantitative in situ proximity ligation assay (PLA). By using this workflow, we identified 37 proteins interacting with endogenously expressed CLR amongst 4,902 detected members of the cellular proteome (by quantitative nano LC-MS/MS) and revealed direct interactions of two kinases and two transporters with this GPCR (by in situ PLA). …”

Evaluation of controlled-release compound fertilizers in soil by Hanafi, M. M., Eltaib, S. M., Ahmad, M. B., Syed Omar, S. R.

“…A compound fertilizer containing about 15% nitrogen (N), 2% phosphorus (P), 16% potassium (K), 4% calcium (Ca), 1% magnesium (Mg), and 1% copper (Cu) was prepared and subsequently coated with natural rubber (NR), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyacrylamide (PA), and polylactic acid (PLA). Evaluations of the compound CRF were conducted in the laboratory and in the field using an open leaching technique. …”
