A versatile cell line for establishing potency of cell type-specific AAV transgenes by Refugio A. Martinez, Yemeserach M. Bishaw, Meagan A. Quinlan, Erin L. Groce, Bryan B. Gore, Ed S. Lein, John K. Mich, Boaz P. Levi

“…However, cell culture-based AAV potency assays are generally hampered by two limitations: (1) commonly used cell lines have low AAV transduction efficiency due to their lack of appropriate surface receptors, and (2) cell type-specific AAV transgenes are often not expressed because their regulatory elements (enhancers, promoters, etc.) may not be active in the cell lines used for testing. …”

Influence law of air flow and water immersion duration on the risk of secondary oxidation spontaneous combustion of coal by Ruirui Yu, Ziwen Dong, Wanting Zhao, Peitao Zhu, Song Kong, Zhenya Zhang

“…The increase in air flow and water immersion time generally leads to the extreme value of the limit parameters, such as the local maximum of minimal thickness of residual coal and the lower limit oxygen fraction, the local minimum of the maximal air leakage intensity develops in the direction of increasing the risk of spontaneous combustion of coal in goaf.…”

Measuring Children’s Computational Thinking and Problem-Solving in a Block-Based Programming Game by Kayla Teng, Gregory K. W. K. Chung

“…This study uses existing data from children’s gameplay in a block-based programming game called <i>codeSpark Academy</i> to examine the extent to which we can use children’s gameplay behavior to measure their CT and, more generally, their problem-solving skills. The objectives of the study are to operationalize CT and problem-solving constructs using gameplay data, investigate the relationship between CT and problem-solving, and position <i>codeSpark Academy</i> as a valid assessment tool. …”

Migration, environment and rural gentrification in the Limousin mountains by Frédéric Richard, Julien Dellier, Greta Tommasi

“…In this instance, field surveys would tend to indicate that though this broad framework generally applies to the Limousin mountains, it remains necessary to determine firstly the nature of the gentrifiers, who could possibly be described as “alter-gentrifiers”, and secondly whether their impact is equally significant within the Parc Naturel de Millevaches as a whole.…”

Interprofessional approach to personalized medication management and therapy optimization in IBD care by Daniel Fleischmann, Benedicta Binder, Muriel Huss, Tanja Elger, Claudia Wolf, Johanna Loibl, Hauke Christian Tews, Arne Kandulski, Stephan Schmid, Martina Müller, Alexander Kratzer

“…Despite this, pharmaceutical co-supervision—proven to mitigate adverse drug events and enhance patient adherence to treatment—is generally lacking in routine clinical settings. Furthermore, the assessment of individual therapy adherence, a crucial predictive factor for therapeutic outcomes, is frequently suboptimal. …”
