Effectiveness of Cognitive Remediation Interventions for Schizophrenia in Asian Population: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials by Suvarna Jyothi Kantipudi, Pratiksha Venkatasubramanian, Ranganath Rattehalli

“…The meta-analysis of four studies on composite cognitive scores using the brief assessment of cognition in schizophrenia showed a significant positive effect of CR interventions (standardized mean difference [SMD] = 0.89, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.35 to 1.43). For executive functioning, the meta-analysis of three studies indicated no significant improvement (SMD = 0.75, 95% CI: −0.11 to 1.61). …”

A systematic screen for tube morphogenesis and branching genes in the Drosophila tracheal system. by Amin S Ghabrial, Boaz P Levi, Mark A Krasnow

“…Many signaling proteins and transcription factors that induce and pattern organs have been identified, but relatively few of the downstream effectors that execute morphogenesis programs. Because such morphogenesis genes may function in many organs and developmental processes, mutations in them are expected to be pleiotropic and hence ignored or discarded in most standard genetic screens. …”

Research on multi-objective grid task scheduling algorithms based on survivability and Makespan by WANG Shu-peng, YUN Xiao-chun, YU Xiang-zhan

“…In the complex and dynamic Grid system,failure of resources was very common.And the failure of Grid re-sources can halt the execution of tasks on them.To mitigate this problem,the concept of tasks survivability was pro-posed,a local objective function which can be adjusted was proposed by incorporating the makespan and survivability of tasks and maximizing the survivability of tasks was devised.The simulation results confirm that the scheduling algorithm can trade off these two objectives,and can satisfy different demand by adjusting the weight parameter in the objective function.So it can be applied in the complex Grid computing environment well.…”
