Understanding single-protein fouling in micro- and ultrafiltration systems via machine-learning-based models by Tanudjaja, Henry Jonathan, Ng, Angie Qi Qi, Chew, Jia Wei

“…Membrane pore size is the most dominant influence on fouling followed by transmembrane pressure (TMP), while membrane configuration (i.e., flat-sheet, hollow fiber, or tubular) is the least dominant. The NN model gives modest predictive capability despite inconsistencies and variabilities of the experimental setups and protocols, which invariably affects the important parameters in the database compiled from past publications. …”

Synthesis of noble metal-based nanocomposites for enhanced catalytic performance by Liu, Ye

“…Secondly, combing noble metal with some functional materials, such as MOFs, can introduce some additional properties, which may be beneficial to the catalytic activity as well as selectivity. Last but not least, supporting materials can promote the dispersion and stability of noble metal nanostructures.…”

Spin-ice physics and phase transitions in cadmium cyanide by Coates, CS

“…Having confirmed the importance of spin-ice physics, chapter 6 explores the pressure and temperature dependence of the ice-like correlations. At least two phase transitions are identied at low pressure, kinetic trapping is observed and the extreme compressibility shown to be a function of cyanide reorientation and ice-like coordination. …”

Towards formal verification of Bayesian inference in probabilistic programming via guaranteed bounds by Zaiser, F

“…These bounds can be computed for a much larger class of probabilistic programs than exact methods and, unlike approximate methods, provide non-stochastic guarantees about the posterior distribution, such as: “the posterior probability of a given event is at least <em>p</em> and at most <em>q</em>”. Crucially, these bounds are fully automated and require no user-provided auxiliary information like loop invariants. …”

Large-scale profiling of antibody reactivity to glycolipids in patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome by Thomma, RCM, Halstead, SK, de Koning, LC, Fehmi, J, Rinaldi, S, IGOS consortium

“…<br> Of all patients, 1309 (92.6%) were positive for at least one anti-glycolipid (complex) antibody. Anti-GM1 and anti-GQ1b (complex) antibodies best distinguished motor GuillainBarré syndrome and Miller Fisher syndrome from controls, with antibodies to glycolipid complexes outperforming antibodies to single glycolipids. …”

An epigenetic analysis of planarian stem cells by Dattani, A

“…We also present preliminary evidence to suggest that ATAC-seq on planarian cells can identify both transcriptionally permissive gene promoters, at least in differentiated cells, as well as putative enhancers that correlate with expression of neighbouring genes. …”

Analysis of influence and its applications in social advertising by Zhu, Yuqing

“…Our method generates only the samples spreading influence beyond the source with at least one 2-hop live path. The samples generated by our 2-hop+ method can yield the random variable to estimate with tighter ranges and better concentration bounds can be applied to obtain an approximation of the random variable with a theoretically tighter threshold requiring less samples. …”
