A Continuous Correlated Beta Process Model for Genetic Ancestry in Admixed Populations. by Zachariah Gompert

“…In the current paper, I develop and test a continuous correlated beta process model to fill this analytical gap. The method explicitly models autocorrelations in ancestry frequencies at the population-level and uses discriminant analysis of SNP windows to take advantage of ancestry blocks within individuals. …”

Geometric determinants of sinterless, low-temperature-processed 3D-nanoprinted glass by Adira Colton, Ryan N. Halli, M. Rho Ma, Tejaswi Nori, Lucas K. Muller, Kieran J. Barvenik, Mahima Srivastava, Bibek Ramdam, Sunandita Sarker, Eleonora Tubaldi, Peter Kofinas, Kinneret Rand-Yadin, Ryan D. Sochol

“…Notably, the recent discovery that 3D-nanostructured fused silica glass components can be produced via “two-photon direct laser writing (DLW)” of hybrid organic-inorganic polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS)-based resins holds unique promise, particularly due to the advantages of sinterless, low-temperature (i.e., 650 °C) post-processing. At present, however, it remains unknown how implementing such methodologies to 3D print larger glass microstructures (e.g., with ≥25-µm-thick features) affects critical material properties, such as the ultimate optical and mechanical characteristics. …”

Developing a post-myocardial infarction medicines optimisation clinic: core competencies for upskilling pharmacists and initial patient feedback by Rani Khatib, Una Laverty, Gina Mcgawley, Alistair Hall, Chris Pepper, Ruth Price, Franki Wilson

“…Following successful implementation of a consultant pharmacist-led post-MI medicines optimisation clinic, the service was expanded by training advanced clinical pharmacists to manage clinics (with appropriate multidisciplinary team support).Methods Key steps in the development process were: definition of a key competency framework based on relevant qualifications and experience, knowledge, skills and clinic management practicalities; creation and enaction of trainee-specific development plans to address gaps (including independent learning, teaching from multidisciplinary colleagues and shadowing in clinics); establishment of relevant protocols and proformas to ensure consistent standards (eg, a patient self-reporting tool for identifying adherence barriers, consultation proforma, directory of clinical parameters and pathway for onward referral when needed); phased clinic roll-out, initially under supervision; and gathering of feedback from patients and colleagues. …”

Production of Starch-Based Flexible Food Packaging in Developing Countries: Analysis of the Processes, Challenges, and Requirements by Johanna Garavito, Clara P. Peña-Venegas, Diego A. Castellanos

“…Starch is well suited to develop biodegradable packages for foods due to its wide availability and simple, low-tech production process. Although the development of starch-based packaging is well documented, most studies focus on the laboratory stages of formulation and plasticization, leaving gaps in understanding key phases such as raw material conditioning, industrial-scale molding, post-production processes, and storage. …”
