Clinical course, immunogenicity, and efficacy of BNT162b2 mRNA vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 infection in liver transplant recipients by Tan, Eunice X., Lim, Wen Hui, Thong, Elizabeth, Chavatte, Jean-Marc, Zhang, Jinyan, Lim, Jonathan, Jin, Jocelyn Y., Lim, Daniel R. X., Kang, Jaclyn Y. T., Tang, Ansel Shao Pin, Chan, Kai En, Tan, Caitlyn, Tan, Shi Ni, Nah, Benjamin, Huang, Daniel Q., Wang, Lin-Fa, Tambyah, Paul A., Somani, Jyoti, Young, Barnaby Edward, Muthiah, Mark D.

“…Ninety-three LT recipients who received 2 doses of BNT162b2 were included in the analysis. The mean time from LT was 110 ± 154 mo. After 2-dose vaccination, 38.7% of LT recipients (36/93) were vaccine nonresponders on the cPass assay compared with 20.4% (19/93) on the Roche S assay. …”

Graph representation learning by Zhang, Xinyi

“…Generating a high-quality graph representation should preserve much information such as node position, subgraph direction and node connection, however, encoding this information in the form of scalar means activating elements in a vector one-by-one which is exponentially less efficient than encoding them with distributed representations, so routing mechanism is applied to generate graph-level representations in the form of capsules which can encode graph information more efficiently. …”
