Effects of Chemical and Biological Inhibitors of Ethylene on Heat Tolerance in Annual Bluegrass by Sean McBride, William Errickson, Bingru Huang

“…Biological ethylene inhibitors include bacteria with ACC deaminase (ACCd) enzyme activity, which suppresses ethylene synthesis by breaking down its precursor, ACC. This study tested two ethylene inhibitors, AVG and a novel strain of the ACCd rhizobacteria Paraburkholderia aspalathi, ‘WSF23’, on annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.) to see whether they are effective in promoting its heat tolerance. …”

Integration of artificial intelligence and advanced optimization techniques for continuous gas lift under restricted gas supply: A case study by Leila Zeinolabedini, Forough Ameli, Abdolhossein Hemmati-Sarapardeh

“…Also, comparing the GWO approach to other algorithms, the largest NPV ($788,512,038$) was yielded with less sensitivity of its adjustable parameters. Thereupon, NPV and cumulated oil production indicate a significant increase compared to ordinary NPV and oil production with values of 351,087,876.4 $ and 14,308 STB, respectively. …”

Single-nucleotide polymorphisms in dizygotic twin ovine fetuses are associated with discordant responses to antenatal steroid therapy by Erin L. Fee, Haruo Usuda, Sean W. D. Carter, Hideyuki Ikeda, Tsukasa Takahashi, Yuki Takahashi, Yusaku Kumagai, Michael W. Clarke, Demelza J. Ireland, John P. Newnham, Masatoshi Saito, Sebastian E. Illanes, Binny Priya Sesurajan, Liang Shen, Mahesh A. Choolani, Gokce Oguz, Adaikalavan Ramasamy, Sara Ritchie, Andrew Ritchie, Alan H. Jobe, Matthew W. Kemp

“…Assuming no difference in input from the placental or maternal compartments, fetal lung responses to ANS therapy in dizygotic twin preterm lambs are dependent on the fetus itself. These data suggest a potential heritable role in determining ANS responsiveness.…”

AI-based tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte scoring system for assessing HCC prognosis in patients undergoing liver resection by Zhiyang Chen, Tingting Xie, Shuting Chen, Zhenhui Li, Su Yao, Xuanjun Lu, Wenfeng He, Chao Tang, Dacheng Yang, Shaohua Li, Feng Shi, Huan Lin, Zipei Li, Anant Madabhushi, Xiangtian Zhao, Zaiyi Liu, Cheng Lu

“…We quantified CD8+ TIL density and established an Automated CD8+ Tumor-infiltrating Lymphocyte Scoring (ATLS-8) system to assess its prognostic value. Results: In the discovery cohort, the 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were 34.05% for ATLS-8 low-score and 65.03% for ATLS-8 high-score groups (hazard ratio [HR] 2.40; 95% CI, 1.37–4.19; p = 0.015). …”

Simulation-based validation of a method to detect changes in SARS-CoV-2 reinfection risk. by Belinda Lombard, Harry Moultrie, Juliet R C Pulliam, Cari van Schalkwyk

“…The model's performance was assessed on simulated data representative of the South African SARS-CoV-2 epidemic, reflecting its timing of waves and outbreak magnitude. Model performance under similar scenarios may be different in settings with smaller epidemics (and therefore smaller numbers of reinfections). …”

On the (im)possible validation of hydrogeological models by Andréassian, Vazken

“…By updating and extending the literature review, we reanalyze this debate and the arguments presented and conclude by proposing an extension of de Marsily’s position, which underlines the necessity to look at validation from two distinct viewpoints, i.e. the point of view of the model’s explanatory power (theoretical content) and the point of view of its predictive power. The explanatory and predictive dimensions of model validation are to be considered separately.…”
