Nanopore sequencing-based genotyping suggested an association between CYP2D6 function and susceptibility to anxiety and depression by Eng Wee Chua, Harsheni Karunanathie, Kevina Yanasegaran, Simran Maggo, Ping Siu Kee, Martin Kennedy, Mohd Rizal Abdul Manaf, Pei Yuen Ng

“…Nearly half of the (48.5%) participants were classified as intermediate and poor metabolizers. Linear regression analysis suggested that impaired CYP2D6 activity could be a predictor of anxiety and depression, consistent with the putative role of CYP2D6 in the synthesis of serotonin and dopamine, the mood-boosting neurotransmitters. …”

Determination of the best model to evaluate germination cardinal temperature of Silybum marianum as a medicinal plant by محمد علی دری, بهنام کامکار, مهناز اقدسی, الهه کمشی کمر

“…The seeds with 2 mm radicles were counted as germinated seeds.The germination rate percentage and cumulative seed germination percentage were calculated for each given temperatures.Cardinal temperatures (T-base, T-optimum and T-ceiling), also, were estimated using eight non linear regression models. The effect of temperature on total germination percentage, time to 50% germination (D50) and germination rate based on 1/D50 and mean germination time inverse (1/MGT) was significant at 1% of probability level. …”

Survey of the Heritability and Sparse Architecture of Gene Expression Traits across Human Tissues. by Heather E Wheeler, Kaanan P Shah, Jonathon Brenner, Tzintzuni Garcia, Keston Aquino-Michaels, GTEx Consortium, Nancy J Cox, Dan L Nicolae, Hae Kyung Im

“…However, current sample sizes (n ≤ 922) do not allow us to compute distal h2. Bayesian Sparse Linear Mixed Model (BSLMM) analysis provides strong evidence that the genetic contribution to local expression traits is dominated by a handful of genetic variants rather than by the collective contribution of a large number of variants each of modest size. …”

Investigating the influence of calcium sulfate whiskers as mineral admixtures on the fatigue properties of asphalt mortar under ultraviolet aging conditions by Taotao Fan, Songkai Han, Chundi Si, Hua Yang

“…Two types of asphalt (70# matrix asphalt and SBS-modified asphalt) after UV aging (5 T, 10 T, and 15 T) were adopted to prepare asphalt mortar, and three CSW content levels (10 %, 30 %, and 50 %) were choice to substitute the mineral powder. Linear amplitude sweep test was used to evaluate the mechanical properties and damage evolution of CSW-asphalt mortar. …”

Interfacial positioning of LiI-doped PEDOT:PSS in homojunction bilayer towards hole extraction and perovskite growth for solar cells by Chien-Tsung Wang, Kuo-Sheng Chung

“…In this work, conductive polymer PEDOT:PSS was doped with lithium iodide (LiI) via solution processing to induce the PEDOT separation from PSS phase and PEDOT linear conformation. With this restructuring, LiI-doped PEDOT:PSS film exhibits a higher electrical conductivity and lower work function, and its surface becomes smoother and less hydrophilic. …”
