Can open-defecation free (ODF) communities be sustained? A cross-sectional study in rural Ghana. by Caroline Delaire, Joyce Kisiangani, Kara Stuart, Prince Antwi-Agyei, Ranjiv Khush, Rachel Peletz

“…Multivariate regression analysis indicated that communities had higher toilet coverage when they were located further from major roads, were not located on rocky soil, reported having a system of fines to punish open defecation, and when less time had elapsed since ODF status achievement. Households were more likely to own a functional toilet if they were larger, wealthier, had a male household head who had not completed primary education, had no children under the age of five, and benefitted from the national Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP) program. …”

Efficient collision-avoidance navigation strategy for autonomous surface vehicles in unstructured and constricted marine environments by Wenlong Meng, Rongdian Ku, Yanbo Pu, Xiaoxiao Shi, Ya Gong

“…In this study, we tackle the aforementioned complexities by incorporating progressive sampling and point cloud clustering, which jointly expedite the detection of constrained waterways in unstructured marine environments. More specifically, we generate multiple random trees from these sampling points, thereby bolstering both navigational accuracy and overall computational efficiency. …”

SARS-CoV-2 antibody responses in children exhibit higher FcR engagement and avidity than in adults by Carolyn A. Cohen, Ludivine Grzelak, Susan S. Chiu, David SC Hui, Mike YW Kwan, Owen TY Tsang, Wai Hung Chan, Yat Sun Yau, Kelly WK Lee, Masashi Mori, Gaya K. Amarasinghe, Samuel MS Cheng, Leo LM Poon, Malik Peiris, Sophie A. Valkenburg

“…Adults’ SARS-CoV-2 antibody responses could be derived from high avidity pre-existing cross-reactive common cold coronavirus B cell responses, whilst children appear to generate a de novo SARS-CoV-2- specific Spike and Nucleocapsid IgG with robust Fc receptor (FcR) binding ability and high avidity at a higher proportion than adults, thus their responses are more targeted and functional for SARS-CoV-2.…”

Low expression of CCKBR in the acinar cells is associated with insufficient starch hydrolysis in ruminants by Yan Cheng, Tianxi Zhang, Chao Yang, Kefyalew Gebeyew, Chengyu Ye, Xinxin Zhou, Tianqi Zhang, Ganyi Feng, Rui Li, Zhixiong He, Oren Parnas, Zhiliang Tan

“…A better understanding of the physiological mechanisms that regulate digestion patterns in ruminants could lead to an increased use of starch concentrates. Here we show more robust pancreatic exocrine function in adult goats (AG) than in neonatal goats (NG) by combining scRNA-seq and proteomic analysis. …”
