The expansion of research on deep brain stimulation (DBS) and adaptive DBS (aDBS) raises important neuroethics and policy questions related to data sharing.However, there has been little empirical research on the perspectives of experts developing these technologies.We conducted semi-structured, open-ended interviews with aDBS researchers regarding
Modes of transmission of influenza B virus in households.
While influenza A and B viruses can be transmitted via respiratory droplets, the importance of small droplet nuclei "aerosols" in transmission is controversial.In Hong Kong and Bangkok, in 2008-11, subjects were recruited from outpatient clinics if they had recent onset of acute respiratory illness and none of their household contacts were ill.Foll
CRISPR/Cas9-based depletion of 16S ribosomal RNA improves library complexity of single-cell RNA-sequencing in planarians
Abstract Background Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) relies on PCR amplification to retrieve information from vanishingly small amounts of starting material.To selectively enrich mRNA from abundant non-polyadenylated transcripts, poly(A) selection is a key step during library preparation.However, some transcripts, such as mitochondrial genes,
Surface engineering of pure magnesium in medical implant applications
This review comprehensively surveys the latest advancements in surface modification of pure magnesium (Mg) in recent years, with a focus on various cost-effective procedures, comparative analyses, and assessments of outcomes, addressing the merits and drawbacks of pure Mg and its alloys.Diverse economically feasible methods for surface modification
Instance-Based Lossless Summarization of Knowledge Graph With Optimized Triples and Corrections (IBA-OTC)
Knowledge graph (KG) summarization facilitates efficient information retrieval for exploring complex structural data.For fast information retrieval, it requires processing on redundant data.However, it necessitates the completion of information in a summary graph.It also saves computational time during data retrieval, storage space, in-memory visua
