Factor modeling for clustering high-dimensional time series by Zhang, Bo, Pan, Guangming, Yao, Qiwei, Zhou, Wang

“…Our setting also offers the flexibility that some time series may not belong to any clusters. The consistency with explicit convergence rates is established for the estimation of the common factors, the cluster-specific factors, and the latent clusters. …”

Exploring population structure, antibiotic resistance and horizontal gene transfer in Neisseria gonorrhoeae by Unitt, A

“…The results were as follows: 1) A new, stable taxonomic nomenclature using LIN codes was developed, and demonstrated to provide improved resolution and reliability when defining gonococcal lineages. 2) The most common species contributing to mosaic <em>N. gonorrhoeae penA</em> alleles were shown to be <em>Neisseria subflava</em> and <em>Neisseria cinerea</em>, and resistance associated polymorphisms were found to be widespread across the genus. 3) African gonococci were shown to predominantly carry non-mosaic <em>penA</em> alleles and belong to a distinct range of lineages, with LIN code lineage 0_0_33 dominating, while common global lineages 0_2_0 and 0_2_1 were rare.…”

Adaptation of Plasmodium falciparum in human RBC supplemented NSG mice by Chew, Marvin

“…During the adaptation process, variant surface antigens (VSAs), known to play a major role in virulence and antigenic variation are upregulated. These VSAs belong to large multigenic families such as P. falciparum Erythrocyte Membrane Protein 1 (PfEMP1) and Repetitive Interspersed Family proteins (RIFINs) that have been shown to immune modulate effector function of host immune cells. …”

Theoretical analysis of structures and electronic spectra in molecular cadmium chalcogenide clusters by Nguyen, Kiet A., Pachter, Ruth, Day, Paul N., Su, Haibin

“…A unified treatment of these clusters to obtain a fundamental understanding of the size, ligand, and solvation effects on their optical properties has not been heretofore presented. The clusters belong to three topological classes, specifically supertetrahedral (Tn), penta-supertetrahedral (Pn), and capped supertetrahedral (Cn), where n is the number of metal layers in each cluster. …”

Adaptive management framework for growth response analysis of tomato in controlled environment plant production systems by Shamshiri, Ramin

“…The results light-condition-based analysis showed that maximum temperature and VPD values occur at sun condition, with peak values between 11:00am to 4:00pm, when RH is at minimum, and the lowest VPD values belong to night hours. It was found that the averaged GR(x) based on light conditions depends on the growth stage. …”
