The dynamics and longevity of circulating CD4+ memory T cells depend on cell age and not the chronological age of the host. by M Elise Bullock, Thea Hogan, Cayman Williams, Sinead Morris, Maria Nowicka, Minahil Sharjeel, Christiaan van Dorp, Andrew J Yates, Benedict Seddon

“…This behaviour may limit memory CD4 T cell diversity by skewing TCR repertoires towards clones generated early in life, but may also compensate for functional defects in new memory cells generated in old age.…”

Speech-dependent data augmentation for own voice reconstruction with hearable microphones in noisy environments by Mattes Ohlenbusch, Christian Rollwage, Simon Doclo

“…In this paper, we investigate several data augmentation techniques to simulate a large amount of in-ear own voice signals from a limited amount of recorded own voice signals. More specifically, we consider different models for the own voice transfer characteristics between the outer microphone and the in-ear microphone, ranging from a fixed talker-averaged relative transfer function to a phoneme-dependent individual model. …”

Low-Rank Representation and Data Compression of Full-Field Displacement Maps for Structural Modal Analysis and Damage Identification by Yankun Li, Yu Huang, Ziguang Li, Zhiping Yin, Shancheng Cao

“…For the purpose of resolving those issues, a complete method is proposed, consisting of (1) an adaptive kernel function construction method for low-rank-representing the full-field displacement maps while retaining both global and local shape features, (2) an enhanced frequency domain decomposition approach for noise-robust mode shape estimation based on the kernel functions, and (3) extracting and fusing local shape features of multiple mode shapes for more accurate damage localization. …”

Single-cell chromatin accessibility landscape profiling reveals the diversity of epigenetic regulation in the rat nervous system by Peiyao Ma, Shanshan Duan, Wen Ma, Qiuting Deng, Yeya Yu, Peng Gao, Yue Yuan, Chuanyu Liu

“…Single-cell sequencing can provide information on cell-type-specific chromatin structure and regulatory elements, revealing differences in chromatin organization between different cell types and their potential roles of these differences in brain function. Here, we generated a chromatin accessibility dataset through single-cell ATAC-seq of 174,593 high-quality nuclei from 16 adult rat brain regions. …”
