Proteomic and metabolomic analyses of the human adult myocardium reveal ventricle-specific regulation in end-stage cardiomyopathies by Hunter, B, Li, M, Parker, BL, Koay, YC, Harney, DJ, Pearson, E, Cao, J, Chen, GT, Guneratne, O, Smyth, GK, Larance, M, O’Sullivan, JF, Lal, S

“…Inter-ventricular significance of these metabolic pathways was then found to be diminished within end-stage dilated cardiomyopathy and ischaemic cardiomyopathy, while heart failure-associated pathways were increased in the left ventricle relative to the right within ischaemic cardiomyopathy, such as fluid sheer-stress, increased glutamine-glutamate ratio, and down-regulation of contractile proteins, indicating a left ventricular pathological bias.…”

Large scale paired antibody language models by Kenlay, H, Dreyer, FA, Kovaltsuk, A, Miketa, D, Pires, D, Deane, CM

“…With the advent of next-generation sequencing, billions of antibody sequences have been collected in recent years, though their application in the design of better therapeutics has been constrained by the sheer volume and complexity of the data. To address this challenge, we present IgBert and IgT5, the best performing antibody-specific language models developed to date which can consistently handle both paired and unpaired variable region sequences as input. …”

A carbuncle cure for the Harten-Lax-van Leer contact (HLLC) scheme using a novel velocity-based sensor by Vevek, U. S., Zang, B., New, Tze How

“…A hybrid numerical flux scheme is proposed by adapting the carbuncle-free modified Harten-Lax-van Leer contact (HLLCM) scheme to smoothly revert to the Harten-Lax-van Leer contact (HLLC) scheme in regions of shear. This hybrid scheme, referred to as the HLLCT scheme, employs a novel, velocity-based shear sensor. …”

Analysis of bedload transport in laminar flows by Cheng, Nian-Sheng

“…Bedload transport generally depends on the bed shear stress and Reynolds number. Many studies conducted for the condition of turbulent flows have revealed the dependence of the transport rate on the bed shear stress, while knowledge of the Reynolds number effect on the transport rate is very limited. …”

Quality over quantity: powering neuroimaging samples in psychiatry by Makowski, C, Nichols, TE, Dale, AM

“…In this review, we encourage this discourse to shift from a focus on sheer increases in sample size to more thoughtful choices surrounding experimental study designs. …”

Numerical analysis of thermophoresis of charged colloidal particles in non-Newtonian concentrated electrolyte solutions by Zhou, Yi, Deng, Xin, Liang, Sheng, Zhao, Cunlu, Yang, Chun

“…The numerical simulations reveal that the shear-thinning effect of pseudoplastic fluids is advantageous to the thermophoresis, and the shear-thickening effect of dilatant fluids slows down the thermophoresis. …”

Application of long gauge sensors on RC structures by Yong, Jun Jordan

“…Various types of sensors are utilized, including Linear Variable Differential Transformers (LVDTs), point gauges, and long gauge sensors (LGS). By applying gradual shear loads and monitoring subsequent responses, our goal is to ascertain the extent of shear stress under varying loading circumstances. …”
