Genomics and metabolic responses reveal the effect of Candida tropicalis ZD-3 on the degradation of Gossypol by Li Zhang, Xiaolong Yang, Rongzheng Huang, Shanshan Nan, Junli Niu, Cunxi Nie, Cheng Chen, Wenju Zhang

“…The characteristic peaks of amides were changed after gossypol treatment by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. Genomic correlation results showed that gene function annotation revealed 64 protein-coding genes potentially involved in gossypol catabolism, primarily encoding aldehyde dehydrogenase, aldehyde reductase, and glutathione peroxidase. …”

Human preferences for cognitive and emotional capabilities in robots across different application domains by Hilda Nääs, Sam Thellman, Tom Ziemke

“…However, there was a weaker preference for agency capability in household cleaning robots and a stronger preference for experience capability in social companionship robots. Qualitative analysis revealed a common desire for robots to function objectively and logically, without emotions, while still showing empathy toward human mental states. …”

Establishing model uncertainty of SLS reinforced concrete crack models applied to load-induced cracking by Christina Helen McLeod

“…However, in some specialist structures such as water retaining structures, the SLS such as cracking is the limiting design criterion, specifically the crack width required to control leakage and thus requires a proper probabilistic analysis. In probabilistic crack models, the reliability of the crack model is determined by the performance function whereby the design limiting crack width is greater than the estimated crack width calculated using the appropriate design crack model. …”

A Bayesian-Weighted Inverse Gaussian Regression Model with Application to Seismological Data by Ehsan Mesdaghi, Afshin Fallah, Rahman Farnoosh, Gholam Hossein Yari

“…In the proposed model, the complementary reciprocal of the location parameter of response variable is considered to be a linear function of the explanatory variables. We developed a fully Bayesian framework to infer about the model parameters based on a general noninformative prior structure and employed a Gibbs sampler to derive the posterior inferences by using the Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. …”
