Cell surface receptors for signal transduction and ligand transport: a design principles study. by Harish Shankaran, Haluk Resat, H Steven Wiley

“…Although a variety of cell surface receptors undergo endocytosis, the systems-level design principles that govern the evolution of receptor trafficking dynamics are far from fully understood. We have constructed a generalized mathematical model of receptor-ligand binding and internalization to understand how receptor internalization dynamics encodes receptor function and regulation. …”

Ecolinguistics: A paradigm shift by Alexander V. Kravchenko

“…Confined to the methodologically erroneous and theoretically untenable framework based on the code model of language and communication, linguistics of the mainstream persists in viewing language as a cultural tool in the service of the mind rather than a biologically and ecologically functional feature of humans as a species. Reification of language precludes any productive theorizing about its nature and function, and the biological function of language and its role in the evolution of our species is ignored. …”

Aero-Structural Design Optimization of a Transonic Fan Rotor Using an Adaptive POD-Based Hybrid Surrogate Model by Jiaqi Luo, Zhen Fu, Jiaxing Li

“…With a number of performance snapshots, singular value decomposition is employed to extract the basis modes, which are then used as the kernel functions in training the POD-based hybrid model. The inverse multi-quadratic radial basis function is adopted to construct the response surfaces for the coefficients of kernel functions. …”

Reliability and Validity of the Chinese Version of SF-36 Scale in Guangdong Occupational Rehabilitation by Huiling ZHOU, Bing CHEN, Jiayan ZENG, Xunwen LU

“…Both factors were able to explain 62.724%of the total variance and had a stronger factor load (>0.4) in the corresponding project. The social function (SF) load values on the two common factors were all higher than 0.4,suggesting that the project's significance was not clear and the scale had poor structural validity in this population.Conclusion:The Chinese version of SF-36 scale has good test-retest reliability, internal reliability, half-half reliability, set and discriminant validity, and poor construct validity in occupational injury rehabilitation workers.…”
