Is age more than a number? Accounting for adult development and aging in the study of psychoneuroimmunology, stress, and health by Stephanie J. Wilson

“…However, theories and evidence from adult development and geroscience suggest that stress-health dynamics evolve in important ways over the adult lifespan—from the stressors that we encounter, to the emotion regulation strategies that we use to confront challenges, to the psychosocial resources at our disposal, to the cellular milieu, and thus to the magnitude of stressors' biological and functional consequences. …”

Medium- and Long-term Runoff Prediction Based on SMA-LSSVM by TIAN Jinghuan, LI Congxin, LI Ang

“…Medium-and long-term runoff prediction is extremely important for flood control,disaster reduction and the utilization efficiency improvement of water resources.To avoid the influence of prediction model parameters on prediction accuracy,this paper proposes a medium-and long-term runoff prediction model based on least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) optimized by the slime mold algorithm (SMA).Firstly,five standard test functions are selected to compare the simulation results of SMA and particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms in different dimensions.Secondly,SMA is used to optimize the penalty parameters and kernel parameters of LSSVM,and the comparison models of LSSVM and PSO-LSSVM are constructed.Finally,the models are verified with the monthly runoff of Manwan Hydropower Station Reservoir and Yingluoxia Hydrological Station as prediction examples.The results show that the mean square error of the SMA-LSSVM model is 29.26% and 7.42% lower than those of the LSSVM and PSO-LSSVM models,respectively,in the monthly runoff prediction of the Manwan station,and 32.61% and 6.61% lower,respectively,in the monthly runoff prediction of the Yingluoxia station.The proposed SMA-LSSVM model has better comprehensive prediction performance and also provides a new method for medium- and long-term runoff prediction.…”

Identification of Gene Targets for the Sprouting Inhibitor CIPC by Thomas M. Grand, James K. Pitman, Alexander L. Williams, Lisa M. Smith, Andrew J. Fleming

“…This involved RNAseq analysis of dissected, staged tuber buds during in vitro sprouting with and without CIPC to identify lead genes, followed by the development and application of an Arabidopsis root assay to assess cell division response to CIPC in selected mutants. The ease of use of this model plant, coupled with its immense genetic resources, allowed us to test the functionality of lead genes encoding cell‐division–associated proteins in the modulation of plant growth response to CIPC. …”

Tumor-specific CD8+ T cells from the bone marrow resist exhaustion and exhibit increased persistence in tumor-bearing hosts as compared with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes by Ivan Borrello, Amy Thomas, Luca Biavati, Robert Leone, Elizabeth M Zawidzka, Claudio Zanettini, Luigi Marchionni

“…Importantly, in a competitive transfer experiment, BM T cells infiltrated the tumor more efficiently than TILs, displayed a higher polyfunctionality with interleukin-2, interferon-γ, tumor necrosis factor-α production and showed greater persistence compared with TILs.Conclusions T cells from the BM appear superior to TILs as a source of cells for cellular therapy. They possess a memory-enriched phenotype and exhibit improved effector function, greater persistence within a tumor-bearing host, and the capacity for increased tumor infiltration. …”

Territorial Self-Government: From Local Communities to Self-Governing Community by O. M. Roy

“…Recognizing these characteristics will help establish stable boundaries for the activities of self-governing communities using the so-called Functional Self-Governance Limit (FSG). This concept is necessary for evaluating (within socially accepted and rational limits) the costs of using a centralized governance model versus resolving community issues primarily through internal resources. …”
