    Development of an alcohol biosensor non-wear algorithm: laboratory-based machine learning and field-based deployment

    Methods: laboratory study

    Participants

    Biosensor readings were collected during laboratory sessions from 36 participants (Table 1) enrolled in a larger investigation of subjective and objective responses to a fixed-dose oral alcohol challenge and…

    I trawl coastlines to study the impacts of microplastics on marine life

    “When I tell people I am a marine biologist, everybody thinks I’m swimming with dolphins and whales. In reality, I spend my time in the field collecting mussels, oysters, crabs and seaweeds to test their behavioural and physiological…

    Host-specific leaf-mining behaviour of holometabolous insect larvae in the early Permian

    Interpretation of Asteronomus maeandriformis

    Our material meets the standard criteria of leaf mines1, according to which leaf mines are endophytic frass trails in living plant tissue (1) and bordered by callus tissue (2)….

  • Spatial-mode diversity and multiplexing for continuous variables quantum communications

    Spatial-mode diversity and multiplexing for continuous variables quantum communications

    We analyze a single diversity-based communication scheme under three distinct amplification strategies, each corresponding to different assumptions about channel state information (CSI) available at the transmitter or receiver. In the context of…

    Ethics of care and the art of fibre: a study of Chinese female artists’ creative practices

    Semi-structured interviews as research methods

    Creswell (2011) states that we conduct qualitative research because a problem or issue needs to be explored. This exploration is necessary. For exploring the issues, rather than using predetermined…

  • Comparison between the effects of silver and titanium nanoparticles and their bulk counterparts on Meloidogyne Javanica

    Comparison between the effects of silver and titanium nanoparticles and their bulk counterparts on Meloidogyne Javanica

    Ag2O NPs did not exert nematicidal effects against M. javanica in soybean. In a study by Taha and Abo-Shady22, only high concentrations of Ag2O NPs were toxic to entomopathogenic nematodes. The toxic effect of Ag2O is due to the binding of Ag…

  • Systema: a framework for evaluating genetic perturbation response prediction beyond systematic variation

    Systema: a framework for evaluating genetic perturbation response prediction beyond systematic variation

    Nonparametric baselines

    We design two nonparametric baselines that we refer to as perturbed mean and matching mean.

    Perturbed mean

    The perturbed mean generates a unique post-perturbation profile as the average gene expression of all perturbed cells…
