FACS‐Sortable Triple Emulsion Picoreactors for Screening Reactions in Biphasic Environments by Samuel Thompson, Yanrong Zhang, Zijian Yang, Lisa Nichols, Polly M. Fordyce

“…With these optimized conditions, stable triple emulsion picoreactors (>70% of droplets survived to 24 hr), produced protein in the biphasic core via cell‐free protein synthesis are generated, and sorted these triple emulsions based on fluorescence using a commercial FACS sorter at >100 Hz with 75–80% of droplets recovered. Finally, an in‐droplet lipase assay with a fluorogenic resorufin substrate that partitions into octanol is demonstrated. …”

La première formation de paysagistes concepteurs en France, ruptures et continuités by Bernadette Blanchon

“…In the third period (1971-1974) the teachers left the Department to join a new short-lived organisation, the Centre national d'étude et de recherche du paysage CNERP (National Centre for Research in Landscape Architecture) (1972-1979), while new contributors recentred workshops and field trips on an approach that was more architectural before the department was finally closed down. Thanks to contributions from abroad and from other disciplines, the orientation of the teaching alternated between engineering and creativity, the legacy of which may be called into question today.…”

Crowd counting in domain generalization based on multi-scale attention and hierarchy level enhancement by Jiarui Zhou, Jianming Zhang, Yan Gui

“…In addition, the three-stage encoding and decoding processing mode enables the model to effectively represent crowd density information. Finally, the fusion of multi-scale features derived from different receptive fields is further enhanced through multi-scale hierarchy level feature fusion, thereby enabling the model to learn high-level semantic information and low-level multi-scale visual field feature information. …”

Inter- Not Intraindividual Differences in sTWEAK Levels Predict Functional Deterioration and Mortality in Patients with Dilated Cardiomyopathy by Kai-Uwe Jarr, Manfred Nelles, Hugo A. Katus, Emmanuel Chorianopoulos

“…Compared to NT-proBNP, sTWEAK remained relatively stable in individual patients on follow-up indicating that inter- rather than intraindividual differences in sTWEAK levels predicted outcome. Finally, neither did the scavenger receptor sCD163 correlate with sTWEAK levels nor did its determination add additional information on outcome in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. …”

Route Selection of Multimodal Transport Based on China Railway Transportation by Hui Zhang, Yao Li, Qingpeng Zhang, Dingjun Chen

“…Under the background of China’s huge railway network and advanced heavy-duty technology, this paper establishes a multimodal transport route selection model for considering railway as the core, introduces time penalty cost and damage compensation cost, and takes the lowest comprehensive transportation cost as the model objective under the premise of considering transportation reliability and transportation safety. Finally, taking a multimodal transport network in China as an example, an improved ant colony algorithm is used to solve the model and the results verify the rationality of the model.…”
