Numerical Simulation of Shoaling Broad-Crested Internal Solitary Waves
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017-06)The interaction between fully nonlinear Miyata-Choi-Camassa (MCC) internal solitary waves and topographic slopes are modeled by direct numerical simulation. The immersed boundary method is employed to describe the no-slip ... -
The diversity of eco-evolutionary dynamics: Comparing the feedbacks between ecology and evolution across scales
(British Ecological Society, 2019-01-01)Evidence of reciprocal influences between ecological and evolutionary processes (eco-evolutionary dynamics) is accumulating at different levels of biological organisation, ranging from populations to communities and even ... -
Energy-angle domain initial access and beam tracking in millimeter wave V2X communications
(IEEE, 2019-01-01)With plentiful spectrum resources, millimeter-wave (mmWave) band has been the forefront candidate to enable the requirements of lower latency and faster data rate for future automotive systems. However, the incorporation ... -
A role for Delta-like homologue 1 (DLK1) in a secretory placental cell population and implications for fetal growth
(Queen Mary University of London, 2018-12-12)Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) affects between 5-10% of pregnancies carrying with it an increased risk of mortality and morbidity. Several serum analytes have been studied in the hope of finding a relevant marker ... -
Spatial separation of anaerobic ammonium oxidation and nitrite-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation in permeable riverbeds.
(Wiley, 2019-02-06)Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) and nitrite-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation (n-damo) play important roles in nitrogen and carbon cycling in fresh waters but we do not know how these two processes compete for ... -
Solid-state NMR structure of a pathogenic fibril of full-length human alpha-synuclein
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016-03-28)Misfolded a-synuclein amyloid fibrils are the principal components of Lewy bodies and neurites, hallmarks of Parkinson’s disease (PD). We present a high-resolution structure of an a-synuclein fibril, in a form that induces ... -
Hair cortisol concentrations in war-affected adolescents: A prospective intervention trial
(Elsevier, 2017-12-26)Temporal examinations of the biological signature of stress or trauma in war-affected populations are seldom undertaken. Moreover, few studies have examined whether stress biomarkers track biological sensitivity to brief ... -
Association between pathological and MRI findings in multiple sclerosis.
(Elsevier/Science Direct, 2012-03-19)Pathological evaluation is the gold standard for identifying processes related to multiple sclerosis that explain disease manifestations, and for guiding the development of new treatments. However, there are limitations ... -
Risk reducing early salpingectomy and delayed oophorectomy as a two staged alternative for primary prevention of ovarian cancer in increased risk women: a commentary
(Wiley, 2019-02-08)Ovarian cancer (OC) is the leading cause of death from gynaecological malignancies in the UK. Despite considerable funding to develop new treatments, 10‐year survival remains poor at ~30%. This translates into 4,271 deaths ... -
Transgenerational selection driven by divergent ecological impacts of hybridizing lineages
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-11)Dynamic interactions between ecological conditions and the phenotypic composition of populations likely play an important role in evolution, but the direction and strength of these feedbacks remain difficult to characterize. ... -
Schistosome infection is associated with enhanced whole-blood IL-10 secretion in response to cercarial excretory/secretory products
(Wiley Online, 2013-02-12)Infection of the human host by schistosome parasites follows exposure of skin to free‐swimming cercariae and is aided by the release of excretory/secretory (E/S) material, which is rich in proteases and glycoconjugates. ... -
Rapid divergence of predator functional traits affects prey composition in aquatic communities
(The University of Chicago Press, 2019-01-01)Identifying traits that underlie variation in individual performance of consumers (i.e., trait utility) can help reveal the ecological causes of population divergence and the subsequent consequences for species interactions ... -
Structure of the Bacterial Sex F Pilus Reveals an Assembly of a Stoichiometric Protein-Phospholipid Complex
(Elsevier, 2016-09-08)Conjugative pili are widespread bacterial appendages that play important roles in horizontal gene transfer, in spread of antibiotic resistance genes, and as sites of phage attachment. Among conjugative pili, the F “sex” ... -
Cryo-EM Structure of a Relaxase Reveals the Molecular Basis of DNA Unwinding during Bacterial Conjugation
(Elsevier, 2017-05-04)Relaxases play essential roles in conjugation, the main process by which bacteria exchange genetic material, notably antibiotic resistance genes. They are bifunctional enzymes containing a trans-esterase activity, which ... -
Degenerative expansion of a young supergene.
(Oxford University Press, 2018-12-21)Long term suppression of recombination ultimately leads to gene loss, as demonstrated by the depauperate Y and W chromosomes of long-established pairs of XY and ZW chromosomes. The young social supergene of the Solenopsis ... -
A deep generic to specific recognition model for group membership analysis using non-verbal cues
(2018-10-03)© 2018 Elsevier B.V. Automatic understanding and analysis of groups has attracted increasing attention in the vision and multimedia communities in recent years. However, little attention has been paid to the automatic ... -

A Large Scale Behavioural Analysis of Bots and Humans on Twitter
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2019)Recent research has shown a substantial active presence of bots in online social networks (OSNs). In this paper we perform a comparative analysis of the usage and impact of bots and humans on Twitter — one of the largest ... -
Microbial cycling of methanethiol
Methanethiol (MT) is an organic sulfur compound with a strong and disagreeable odor. It has biogeochemical relevance as an important compound in the global sulfur cycle, where it is produced as a reactive intermediate in ...
