Flame-Retardant and Self-Healing Waterborne Polyurethane Based on Organic Selenium by Xiang Shang (13257384)

“…The limiting oxygen index of SWPU-4 was improved to 28.5% with excellent UL-94 level (V-0) and self-healing efficiency (91.25%, after being healed in the photoreactor for 30 min at room temperature), together with high mechanical properties (tensile strength was 18.5 MPa and elongation at break was 869.63%), and the total heat release (THR) for SWPU-4 (49.28 MJ/m²) could decrease to 23.80% of the THR for the original waterborne polyurethane WPU (64.67 MJ/m²). …”

OTUs in replicate units have correlated dynamics. by Scott W. Olesen (2735443)

“…OTUs with infinite Δ<i>z</i> are plotted on the plot’s borders (e.g., the points in the lower- right corner of the first plot represent OTUs that have Δ<i>z</i> = +∞ in replicate 1 and Δ<i>z</i> = −∞ in replicate 2).…”

Morphological and functional protective effects of H₂S against NIHL. by Xu Li (23864)

“…K: Mean post-surgical ABR threshold shifts at different time points after noise exposure. The ABR threshold shift demonstrated a significant decrease on the 14th day in the NaHS group (47.00±2.60 dB SPL) compared to the control group (56.11±2.32 dB SPL) and the PPG group (56.88±2.82 dB SPL) (P<0.05).…”

Fast Segmentation of Stained Nuclei in Terabyte-Scale, Time Resolved 3D Microscopy Image Stacks by Johannes Stegmaier (285361)

“…In this contribution we present a fast parallelized segmentation method that is especially suited for the extraction of stained nuclei from microscopy images, <i>e.g.</i>, of developing zebrafish embryos. The idea is to transform the input image based on gradient and normal directions in the proximity of detected seed points such that it can be handled by straightforward global thresholding like Otsu’s method. …”

Changes in GF sound responses with age. by Jonathan M. Blagburn (8259648)

“…(B) There is no significant change in the strength of the synapse between the auditory neuron and the GF, i.e., the SEP that results in a half-maximal GF spike probability does not change. …”

High-dimensional models concentrate sample projections close to their class centroids. by Eric Elmoznino (17769143)

“…However, when looking only at models with the same architecture and layer (i.e., looking at points sharing the same color), projection distances reliably decrease with ED. d: Full projection distance matrices, computed along classification readout directions between all object category pairs. …”

Effect of MEHP and PMA on the gene transcription of TSPO, PKCε, PPAR-α, PPAr-β/δ, and PPAR-γ. by Enrico Campioli (336888)

“…Cells were seeded for 24 h before treatment with MEHP (A–C) or PMA (D) and collected after the indicated time points (A) or after 4 days (B–D). qRT-PCR results are normalized to RPS18, expressed in terms of mean and S.E.M. calculated from 3 independent experiments, and presented as fold increase or decrease compared to control. …”

Exploring Beyond Numeric Weight Loss: The Metabolic Effects of Semaglutide. by Sara, Sokary

“…Also, it enhanced glycemic control, as evidenced by significant reductions in hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) with the 0.5 mg and 1.0 mg doses. From a baseline range of 8.1–8.7%, 0.5mg dose lowered HbA1c by 1.2–1.5%, while the 1.0 mg dose reduced it by 1.4–1.8%. …”
