CellPolaris: Transfer Learning for Gene Regulatory Network Construction to Guide Cell State Transitions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
CellPolaris decodes how transcription factors guide cell fate by building gene regulatory networks from transcriptomic data using transfer learning. It generates tissue‐ and cell‐type‐specific networks, identifies master regulators in cell state transitions, and simulates TF perturbations in developmental processes.

Playful learning opportunities: US children’s mathematics and literacy home learning environments

Educational Studies in Mathematics
Abstract This paper examines parents’ use of playful learning opportunities to socialize their children’s mathematics and literacy skills. It addresses parental cognitions: more specifically, beliefs, attitudes, expectations, and the frequency of children’s engagement in playful mathematics and literacy activities.

Edible Pneumatic Battery for Sustained and Repeated Robot Actuation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work presents an edible energy source and valve system to power soft, pneumatically driven edible robots. A chemical reaction between sodium bicarbonate and citric acid generates carbon dioxide gas, and a pressure‐triggered edible valve enables self‐repetitive motion of the edible actuator.

Towards a narrative-oriented framework for designing mathematical learning [PDF]

, 2004
This paper proposes a narrative-oriented approach to the design of educational activities, as well as a CSCL system to support them, in the context of learning mathematics. Both Mathematics and interface design seem unrelated to narrative.
