The relationship between early life urbanicity and depression in late adulthood: evidence from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe by Daniel Howdon, Jochen Mierau, Samuel Liew

“…We found that individuals who spend the longest time in their childhood in a suburban home exhibit an average increase in probability of 3.4 (CI 1.1 to 5.7) percentage points in reporting four or more depressive symptoms. The association was robust to the inclusion of a host of household characteristics associated with childhood urbanicity and was independent of current urbanicity and current income. …”

Exploring the use of new data assimilation technologies to map groundwater quality vulnerability in a large alluvial aquifer by Wes Kitlasten, Catherine Moore, John Doherty

“…We present three new technologies that can make simulator-based Bayesian analysis that is undertaken in complex hydrogeological environments more effective and more tractable. These are demonstrated using a case study where groundwater head, streamflow and groundwater age data are assimilated in order to assess groundwater vulnerability to anthropomorphic deterioration of its quality. …”

Targeted expansion of cytotoxic T cells using IL-12 and CD137L supplementation enhances antitumor efficacy by Marta Sanz, Brendan T. Mann, Elyse K. McMahon, Alberto Bosque, Samuel Simmens, Natalia Soriano-Sarabia

“…One of the issues leading to less-than-optimal responses relates to the polyclonal expansion of Vδ2 T cell subsets with variable cytotoxic capacity. Previous work developed protocols to expand Vδ2 T cells, although to our knowledge, ours is the first comprehensive study that has produced a simple, antigen-presenting feeder-free culture that produced an average expansion of 3,000-fold and more than 95% pure Vδ2 T cells avoiding additional isolation steps. …”

Fuzzy Logic Technique Based on Classification Function Application in Quality Control by Salman Hussien Omran, Salam Waley Shneen, Batool Ibrahim Jameel, Omar Hassoon, Mohammed A. Fayad, Firas Basim Ismail

“…To meet the control limits for quality control and defective percentages for all samples using (w = 0.2, 0.5, 0.6) and (λ = 0.5, 0.7, 0.9), then compare the adoption of the traditional technique with fuzzy logic while adopting variable cases through the arrangement function. It can be noticed that the chart of fuzzy control is more economically quicker and more accurate at monitoring production quality, enabling the diagnosis of defective units throughout the production process. …”
