Comparing Weibull Stress – Strength Reliability Bayesian Estimators for Singly Type II Censored Data under Different loss Functions by Awatif Rezoky Mazaal, Nada Sabah Karam, Ghada Sabah Karam

“…In this paper, a Bayesian analysis has been considered for R when the two variables X and Y are independent Weibull random variables with common parameter α in order to study the effect of each of the two different scale parameters β and λ; respectively, using three different [weighted, quadratic and entropy] loss functions under two different prior functions [Gamma and extension of Jeffery] and also an empirical Bayes estimator Using Gamma Prior, for singly type II censored sample. …”

Creation of Functional Viruses from Non-Functional cDNA Clones Obtained from an RNA Virus Population by the Use of Ancestral Reconstruction. by Ulrik Fahnøe, Anders Gorm Pedersen, Carolin Dräger, Richard J Orton, Sandra Blome, Dirk Höper, Martin Beer, Thomas Bruun Rasmussen

“…Consequently it is likely that a high proportion of individual RNA virus genomes, isolated from an infected host, will contain lethal mutations and be non-functional. This is problematic if the aim is to clone and investigate high-fitness, functional cDNAs and may also pose problems for sequence-based analysis of viral evolution. …”

Effects of Intelligence Levels and Autistic Severity on Adaptive Functioning and Cognitive-Adaptive Functioning Gaps in School-Aged Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder by Jin WY, Song C, Wang YY, Liu XL, Li WH, Wu LL, Zhu ZW

“…Hierarchical regressions showed that FSIQ was positively correlated with GAC in the total model (P=0.015); whereas RRB was inversely correlated with GAC (P=0.014).Conclusion: Intelligence levels and autistic severity were important contributors of adaptive functioning and cognitive-adaptive functioning gaps in children with ASD.Keywords: autism spectrum disorder, adaptive functioning, cognitive-adaptive functioning gap, intelligence, severity…”

Decoding urbanization trade-offs in Shenzhen, China: a PLUS-InVEST-PLES framework for balancing carbon dynamics, ecological functionality, and land use intensification by Yu Li, Ruifan Li, Hongbing Yu, Hongbing Yu, Han Yu, Han Yu

“…Urbanization in coastal megacities leads to trade-offs between development and ecology, degrading carbon sinks and disrupting spatial-functional balance. Current models often fail to integrate land use, carbon dynamics, and ecological zoning. …”

SAMHD1 knockout hiPSC model enables high lentiviral transduction efficiency in myeloid cell types by Huinan Li, Huinan Li, Maliha Afroze, Maliha Afroze, Gunisha Arora, Gunisha Arora, Scot Federman, Scot Federman, Kaivalya Shevade, Kaivalya Shevade, Yeqing Angela Yang, Yeqing Angela Yang, Phuong Nguyen, Phuong Nguyen, Rustam Esanov, Rustam Esanov, Laralynne Przybyla, Laralynne Przybyla, Adam Litterman, Adam Litterman, Shawn Shafer, Shawn Shafer

“…We demonstrated increased lentiviral transduction efficiency in induced macrophages, as well as microglia induced with two distinct protocols. This model allows for efficient gene knockdown, as well as large-scale functional genomics screens in mature hiPSC-derived macrophages or microglia with applications in innate immunity and chronic inflammatory disease biology. …”

Role of visual function and performance of activities of daily living in cognitive function in patients with mild cognitive impairment: a cross-sectional study by Chunhui Zhou, Ganfeng Yang, Marc Theeboom, Hua Yang, Ruiting Zhu, Zijian Zhou, Dong Zhu

“…Pearson's correlation coefficients were used to examine the unadjusted associations between visual function measures and cognitive performance. Multivariable linear regression models were employed to further explore these relationships and to assess the moderating role of ADLs.ResultsSignificant positive correlations were found between visual function and cognitive performance, particularly with Visual Function Index (VFI) showing a strong initial correlation with the total MoCA score (r = 0.61, p < 0.001), which was attenuated after adjusting for ADL (β = 0.06, p = 0.23). …”
