Individual strings contribute significantly to the functionality of the chosen models. by Anupam Saxena (120438)

“…This suggests that strings 7 and 10 do not participate in the network which explains why the training set error for this model is larger (<a href="http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1002751#pcbi-1002751-t002" target="_blank">Table 2</a>) compared to that of model (i) in (a).…”

Confinement Effects on Chain Entanglement in Free-Standing Polystyrene Ultrathin Films by Jeremy M. Rathfon (2183724)

Image_1_Exosomal miRNA-16-5p Derived From M1 Macrophages Enhances T Cell-Dependent Immune Response by Regulating PD-L1 in Gastric Cancer.JPEG by Zhengtian Li (5076704)

“…Our results revealed that miR-16-5p was transferred intercellularly from M1 macrophages to GC cells via exosomes and targeted PD-L1. M1 macrophage-derived exosomes containing miR-16-5p were found to trigger a T cell immune response which inhibited tumor formation both in vitro and in vivo by decreasing the expression of PD-L1. …”

Changes in the frequency of common plant species across linear features in Wales from 1990 to 2016: implications for potential delivery of ecosystem services by S. M. Smart (4714563)

“…Most species showed no significant change in frequency suggesting that the significant directional trend seems only to have impacted a subset of the species present. A greater sample size would be required to capture impacts on a larger number of species including a wider range of Common Standards Monitoring positive indicator species that may find refuge on the linear network in lowland Wales. …”

Effects of Feedstock and Pyrolysis Temperature on Biochar Adsorption of Ammonium and Nitrate by Xiapu Gai (668700)

“…The ability of biochars to adsorb NH₄⁺-N followed: C-BC>P-BC>W-BC, and the adsorption amount decreased with higher pyrolysis temperature. The ability of C-BC to sorb NH₄⁺-N was the highest because it had the largest cation exchange capacity (CEC) among all biochars (e.g., C-BC400 with a CEC of 38.3 cmol kg⁻¹ adsorbed 2.3 mg NH₄⁺-N g⁻¹ in solutions with 50 mg NH₄⁺ L⁻¹). …”

Table_1_Plasma Lipidomics Identifies Unique Lipid Signatures and Potential Biomarkers for Patients With Aortic Dissection.DOCX by Huang Huang (68392)

“…Besides, the length and unsaturation of acyl chains in triacylglycerols and unsaturation of 1-acyl chain in phosphatidylethanolamines were decreased in AD patients. Moreover, lysophosphatidylcholines were the lipids with the largest alterations, at the center of correlation networks of lipid alterations, and had excellent performances in identifying AD patients. …”

Data_Sheet_1_Exploration and Strategy Analysis of Mental Health Education for Students in Sports Majors in the Era of Artificial Intelligence.pdf by Liang Liang (19309)

“…There are 140 students with normal mental health, a year-on-year increase of 16.7%. In the comparative survey of specific mental disorders, students with obsessive-compulsive symptoms under traditional mental health education account for 22.0% of the total sample, having the largest proportion. …”

Aluminum Complexes of Bidentate Fluorinated Alkoxy-Imino Ligands: Syntheses, Structures, and Use in Ring-Opening Polymerization of Cyclic Esters by Miloud Bouyahyi (1659694)

“…The key element which appears to be at the origin of the absence of stereocontrol is the lack of bridge between the two imino-alkoxy moieties, possibly via a decrease in the rigidity of the compounds and/or a different positioning of N,O vs N,N heteroatoms in axial sites.…”

Transportation of Nanoscale Cargoes by Myosin Propelled Actin Filaments by Malin Persson (129972)

“…This is studied here using biotin/fluorophores, streptavidin, streptavidin-coated quantum dots, and liposomes as model cargoes attached to monomers along the actin filaments (“side-attached”) or to the trailing filament end via the plus end capping protein CapZ. Long-distance transportation (>100 µm) could be seen for all cargoes independently of attachment mode but the fraction of motile filaments decreased with increasing number of side-attached cargoes, a reduction that occurred within a range of 10–50 streptavidin molecules, 1–10 quantum dots or with just 1 liposome. …”
