BackgroundCOVID-19 severity is amplified among individuals with obesity, which may have influenced mainstream media coverage of the disease by both improving understanding of the condition and increasing weight-related stigma.ObjectiveWe aimed to measure obesity-related conversations on Facebook and Instagram around key dates during the first year
Paradigm shifts for sustainable management of water hyacinth in tropical ecosystems: A review and overview of current challenges
For decades, the water hyacinth (WH) has progressively proven to be a prevalent invasive plant with significant environmental and socio-economic impacts.Its successful proliferation is enhanced by climate and hydrodynamic conditions (i.e., temperature, water flow regime, nutrient load) which strengthen the intrinsic characteristics of reproduction
RSEQREP: RNA-Seq Reports, an open-source cloud-enabled framework for reproducible RNA-Seq data processing, analysis, and result reporting [version 2; referees: 2 approved]
RNA-Seq is increasingly being used to measure human RNA expression on a genome-wide scale.Expression profiles can be interrogated to identify and functionally characterize treatment-responsive genes.Ultimately, such controlled studies promise to reveal insights into molecular mechanisms of treatment effects, identify biomarkers, and realize persona
Calreticulin Blockade Attenuates Murine Acute Lung Injury by Inducing Polarization of M2 Subtype Macrophages
Calreticulin (CALR) has anti-tumor effects by increasing dendritic cell maturation and tumor antigen presentation.However, whether CALR affects macrophages and modulates progression of acute respiratory distress syndrome/acute lung injury (ARDS/ALI) remains unknown.In this study, we discovered that CALR protein was highly expressed in the mice with
End-to-end prediction of multimaterial stress fields and fracture patterns using cycle-consistent adversarial and transformer neural networks
The prediction of stress, strain fields or fracture patterns, along with other physical quantities as a function of boundary conditions and material microstructure, is an important objective of various physics-based simulation methods like finite element models or molecular dynamics modeling.However, such simulations may be expensive and can be cos
