A Soft Robotic Model for Simulating Heart Valve Disease and Cardiac Interventions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This paper introduces a fully synthetic fabrication methodology for a soft robotic, in‐vitro model of the left‐heart, complete with a functioning mitral valve apparatus. With a view towards patient‐specific modeling, we demonstrate physiological flow and pressure waveforms, tunable mitral valve function with clinical imaging compatibility, and its use ...

Equity in L2 English oral assessment: Criterion-based facts or works of fiction?

NJES: Nordic Journal of English studies, 2016
For assessment to be equitable, it is central that teachers/raters perceive and apply grade criteria similarly. However, in assessing L2 oral proficiency in paired tests, raters must grade test-takers individually on a joint interaction performance ...

A Communicative Task Reconsidered : Interview for L2 Interactional Competence Development [PDF]

, 2005
本稿は昨今注目を集めつつある、インターアクション言語運用能力をテーマとする萌芽的研究の報告である。教室内という限られた枠内では、学習者の対話スキルの向上は一種の挑戦と言っても良いだろう。本稿では特に「インタビュー」という対話のジャンルを取り上げ、積極的に学習者を実践的にインタビューアとして参加させることによりこの能力の向上を図る方法を考察した。ICU夏期日本語コースC4レベルでは、研究調査法の一環としてインタビュータスクの導入を しているが ...

Fluctuations in Learners’ Willingness to Communicate During Communicative Task Performance: Conditions and Tendencies [PDF]

, 2014
A person’s willingness to communicate (WTC), believed to stem from a combination of proximal and distal variables comprising psychological, linguistic, educational and communicative dimensions of language, appears to be a significant predictor of success

β‐Adrenergic Signaling Promotes Anti‐Tumor Immunity in TP53‐mutant Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
β‐adrenergic stimulation enhances anti‐tumor immunity in TP53‐deficient oral squamous cell carcinoma by inducing tumor‐derived secretion of CXCL10, which attracts and activates cytotoxic CD8+ T cells. The findings demonstrate that β‐adrenergic signaling alters tumor–immune interactions via CXCL10‐mediated paracrine activation, revealing a neuro‐immune ...

Patterns of interaction in a paired speaking test: comparing L1 and L2 interactions

Language Testing in Asia
The shift of focus from a cognitive to social view has drawn the attention of second language assessment researchers to delve into interactional competence as an intriguing topic in paired oral tests. To fill the gap on how interactional patterns compare

INB3P: A Multi‐Modal and Interpretable Co‐Attention Framework Integrating Property‐Aware Explanations and Memory‐Bank Contrastive Fusion for Blood–Brain Barrier Penetrating Peptide Discovery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
INB3P is a multimodal framework for blood–brain barrier‐penetrating peptide prediction under extreme data scarcity and class imbalance. By combining physicochemical‐guided augmentation, sequence–structure co‐attention, and imbalance‐aware optimization, it improves predictive performance and interpretability.
