The Babe Ruth Algorithm: a fast, unbiased procedure to randomize presence-absence data matrices with fixed row and column totals

open access: yes, 2014
A well-known problem in numerical ecology is how to recombine presence-absence matrices without altering row and column totals. A few solutions have been proposed, but all of them present some issues in terms of statistical robustness (i.e.

Dual‐Functional Ingestible Passive Capsules for High‐Throughput Intestinal Sampling with Sealed Containment and Targeted Drug Delivery

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
To address challenges in high‐throughput intestinal sampling with sealed containment and target drug delivery, we developed a dual‐functional ingestible passive capsule with a dual‐triggered control system based on pH‐response and mechanical actuation.

Animal interface: the generosity of domestication [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The chapter engages with historical processes and contemporary conditions of animal domestication, arguing that domestication might best be seen as at least as much an emotive or affective process as an instrumental one.

RNF213 Is an Interferon‐Stimulated Gene That Targets Influenza A Virus NP and Activates MDA5 to Restrict Infection

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
RNF213 is characterized as a dual‐functional antiviral effector. It directly mediates the degradation of the influenza A virus nucleoprotein (NP) while simultaneously activating the MDA5‐mediated innate immune signaling pathway. This coordinated response establishes a powerful host defense system against viral infection. ABSTRACT Influenza A virus (IAV)

Tunneling conductance due to discrete spectrum of Andreev states

open access: yes, 2012
We study tunneling spectroscopy of discrete subgap Andreev states in a superconducting system. If the tunneling coupling is weak, individual levels are resolved and the conductance $G(V)$ at small temperatures is composed of a set of resonant Lorentz ...
