“…Although it is known that inherited risk for MS is located within or in close proximity to immune-related genes, it is unknown when, where and how this genetic risk originated. …”

Topography of social touching depends on emotional bonds between humans by Suvilehto, JT, Glerean, E, Dunbar, RIM, Hari, R, Nummenmaa, L

“…Nonhuman primates use social touch for maintenance and reinforcement of social structures, yet the role of social touch in human bonding in different reproductive, affiliative, and kinship-based relationships remains unresolved. Here we reveal quantified, relationship-specific maps of bodily regions where social touch is allowed in a large cross-cultural dataset (N = 1,368 from Finland, France, Italy, Russia, and the United Kingdom). …”

Glass box and black box machine learning approaches to exploit compositional descriptors of molecules in drug discovery and aid the medicinal chemist by Robson, B, Cooper, R

Effect of Co on twin formation and magnetic properties of Sm(Fe,Ti,V)12 alloys by Tozman, P, Hrkac, G, Patrick, CE, Staunton, JB, Saito, T, Sasaki, T, Ohkubo, T, Sepehri-Amin, H

“…Twin formation is one of the reasons for the inability to achieve high coercivity and remanence. Here we have shown that the addition of Co in Sm(Fe_1-xCo_x)_10&ndash;11M_1&ndash;2&nbsp;alloys, where&nbsp;<em>M</em>=Ti and V, leads to an increase in twin density. …”

Study on Acoustic Emission Characteristics and Damage Evolution Law of Shale under Uniaxial Compression by Wu, Wenjie, Chan, Chee-Ming, Gu, Yilei, Su, Xiaopeng

“…When axial stress reaches the damage strength σcd, which is approximately 80% of the uniaxial compressive strength, a significant number of AE signals are generated. …”

Effect of TBHQ on quality characteristics of RBD olein during frying by Asap, Telingai, Augustin, M. A.

“…The reduction in the rates of these undesirable changes was more pronounced when the TBHQ was added to the system on each day of frying than when there was a single addition of TBHQ prior to frying on the first day. …”

Measuring the performances of covariates using exponential survival analysis with partly-interval censored simulation data by Muhamad Jamil, Siti Afiqah, Lai, Jessintha, Abdullah, Mohd Asrul Affendi

“…This paper aims at proposing the partly-interval censored data into the fixed and time-varying covariates and measure the performances of Exponential survival distribution using mean square error (MSE), mean bias error (MBE), mean absolute error (MAE), root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and standard error. As a result, when dealing the data without censored observations, the exponential distribution significantly fit the simulation data since low values of error measurements appeared when the data included the exact and complete types of simulation. …”

Triadic interaction in the background of a pairwise spin-glass by Bagherikalhor, M., Askari, B., Jafari, G. R.

“…Although the p-spin interactions were studied individually without considering lower-order interactions, is it always feasible to ignore the lower ones? Here, we are interested in finding an analytical solution for considering a triadic interaction as a perturbation in the background of a pairwise interaction in the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick spin-glass model. …”

Conservation of red blood cell signalling in Plasmodium merozoite invasion by Yong, James Jia Ming

“…It is though clear that the parasite has exploited innate RBC signalling cascades to direct invasion. Here we observed that RH5 binding to Basigin promotes the increased assembly and organisation of a multimeric RBC membrane complex consisting of β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR) and CD44, demonstrating that this RH5-induced oligomerisation of RBC proteins is necessary to promote downstream invasion events. …”

White- and blue- collar workers' responses towards underground workspaces by Su, Ying, Roberts, Adam Charles, Yap, Hui Shan, Car, Josip, Kwok, Kian Woon, Soh, Chee Kiong, Christopoulos, George I.

“…Modern technologies have enabled the development of high quality work environments in underground spaces (UGS).Yet, the fundamental issue of whether UGS are suitable for people intensive functions, such as office or manual work, is largely not well understood. Here, we examine whether full-time white collar (office [WCW]) and blue collar (mostly manual [BCW]) workers of UGS have different responses to critical organizational variables when compared to similar workers of aboveground spaces (AGS). …”

Accuracy of second order perturbation theory in the polaron and variational polaron frames by Lee, Chee Kong, Moix, Jeremy, Cao, Jianshu

“…It is found that the second order results in the original frame are accurate for weak system-bath coupling; the results deteriorate when the bath cut-off frequency decreases. The full polaron results are accurate for the entire range of coupling for a fast bath but only in the strong coupling regime for a slow bath. …”
