'Women in an extraordinary time': the transnational network and educational spaces of the Canadian Eiwa Girls' mission schools in 1920s and 1930s Japan by Dugal, A

“…Through network development, physical and intellectual spatial construction, and curriculum and activity design, these historical actors reached outside their institutions to actively connect themselves and their peers with the wider world. In the 1930s, this appears to have been conducted with a sense of urgency. …”

Atherogenesis and plaque rupture, surface/interface-related phenomena by Siegel, G., Berkholz, J., Klüßendorf, D., Knosalla, C., Zakrzewicz, A., Ermilov, E., Malmsten, M., Lindman, Bjorn

“…Since NFκB is inhibited by one reaction strand in this model and inhibits itself collagen and proteoglycan synthesis in the fibrous cap of the plaque, this double check (disinhibition) causes a stabilization of the fibrous cap through a specially strong collagen and proteoglycan production, which in addition is supported by circulating TGFβ. …”

Development of innovative nano-satellites with new generation technologies by Menezes, Ajit Denis

“…The models are tested based on performance parameters provided by an established launch agency and analysed under a microscope to check for any cracks or major degradation. The ULTEM is also tested for outgassing properties to ensure it is acceptable for Space applications. …”

Selecting correct methods to extract fuzzy rules from artificial neural network by Tan, Xiao, Zhou, Yuan, Ding, Zuohua, Liu, Yang

“…Fuzzy rules are an intuitive and reasonable representation to be used for explanation, model checking, and system integration. However, different methods may extract different rules from the same ANN. …”

Design of phase locked loop with PVT tolerance by Chong, Kok Foong

“…VCO dummies are normally added to the VCO in order to provide a uniform loading for each VCO delay stage. To check the impacts of different VCO dummy implementation on PLL jitter, five experimental charge pump PLLs are simulated with difference only in the dummy stages: (i) no dummy, (ii) simple dummy, (iii) single stage differential dummy, (iv) double stage differential dummy and (v) full differential dummy with the D2S converters. …”

Time to resolution and effect on quality of life of molluscum contagiosum in children in the UK: a prospective community cohort study by Olsen, JR, Gallacher, J, Finlay, AY, Piguet, V, Francis, NA

“…Participants were prospectively followed up every month to check on their recovery from molluscum contagiosum and transmission to other children in the same household, until the child's lesions were no longer visible.…”

Body composition, body mass, and cardiovascular health in mid-childhood and midlife: a compositional data analysis by Liu, M, Dumuid, D, Olds, T, Burgner, D, Ellul, S, Juonala, M, Wang, Y, Ranganathan, S, Cheung, M, Baur, L, Dwyer, T, Kerr, JA, Lycett, K, Wake, M

“…</p> <br> <p><strong>Methods:</strong> In the population-based cross-sectional Child Health CheckPoint study (1495 children, mean 12 ± 0.4 years, 49.3% girls; 1496 parents, mean 44.3 ± 5.0 years, 86.7% mothers), we measured weight, height, body composition [truncal fat, non-truncal fat, fat-free mass (FFM)], and CV functional (blood pressure, pulse wave velocity, arterial elasticity) and structural (carotid intima-media thickness, retinal arteriolar/venular caliber) outcomes. …”

Precision holography and supersymmetric theories on curved spaces by Genolini, P

“…We may then formulate a precise check of the holographic dictionary by asking whether the dual holographic observables are similarly invariant, as the free energy of the gauge theory is identified with the holographically renormalized supergravity action.…”

Insights into Li+ Storage Mechanisms, Kinetics, and Reversibility of Defect-Engineered and Functionalized Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes for Enhanced Energy Storage by Kong, Lingping, Zhu, Yuntong, Williams, P. Jason, Kabbani, Mohamad, Brushett, Fikile R., Rupp, Jennifer L. M.

“…To overcome these challenges, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have been explored as an alternative, offering Li+ storage within the interplanar space between graphene sheets, along with excellent electrical conductivity, and eco-friendliness. …”
