Ammonia-dependent reducing power redistribution for purple phototrophic bacteria culture-based biohydrogen production by Huang, Peitian, Chen, Yun, Li, Zong, Zhang, Baorui, Yu, Siwei, Zhou, Yan

“…Leveraging photo fermentation (PF) process, purple phototrophic bacteria (PPB) can harness reducing power derived from organic substrates to facilitate hydrogen production. However, existing studies report much lower H2 yields than theoretical value when using acetate as carbon source and ammonia as nitrogen source, primarily attributed to the widely employed pulse-feeding mode which suffers from ammonia inhibition effect on nitrogenase. …”

Active control of wakes and vortex-induced vibration of a circular cylinder at Re = 100 by Wang, Chenglei

“…This research aims to explore the control of asymmetric vortex shedding and the resulting VIV of bluff bodies using SJs and one of their variants, with the focus being placed on the change of wake dynamics, aerodynamic forces, and motions of a circular cylinder due to the control at a specific low Reynolds number of 100. To facilitate this study, a lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) based framework is established for fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulations. …”

Effects of thrombin and its related peptide fragments on neutrophils by Lim, Chun Hwee

“…These indicate a possible host evasion mechanism where FYT21 reduces inflammatory responses to facilitate P. aeruginosa colonisation. Neutrophils’ presence in wounds extend beyond their inflammatory functions; they produce neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), an extracellular network of DNA decorated with neutrophil-derived proteins. …”

Remote digital cognitive assessment reveals cognitive deficits related to hippocampal atrophy in autoimmune limbic encephalitis: a cross-sectional validation study by Shibata, K, Attaallah, B, Tai, X-Y, Trender, W, Hellyer, PJ, Hampshire, A, Irani, SR, Manohar, SG, Husain, M

“…</p> <br> <p><strong>Interpretation:</strong> These findings demonstrate that subtle cognitive deficits in patients with chronic ALE, who often show full recovery in measures of disability and dependence on daily activities, are detectable using a remote online platform, which also relates to hippocampal atrophy. Such methods may facilitate the characterisation of cognitive profiles in complex neurological diseases. …”

Advancements in Models and Algorithms for Management Science by Yao, Yuanfan (Evan)

“…In investigating a new deviation, quickly finding related historical deviations is crucial, but such deviation reports are not organized in a way to facilitate this task. This chapter proposes an innovative methodology called Document Classification with Reference Information (DCRI), which crucially leverages the existence of reference information, documents which describe the taxonomy of interest but are not labeled examples themselves. …”
