Identification and characterization of a novel extracellular matrix protein nephronectin that is associated with integrin alpha8beta1 in the embryonic kidney. [PDF]
The epithelial-mesenchymal interactions required for kidney organogenesis are disrupted in mice lacking the integrin alpha8beta1. None of this integrin's known ligands, however, appears to account for this phenotype. To identify a more relevant ligand, a

CUSBoost: Cluster-based Under-sampling with Boosting for Imbalanced Classification
Class imbalance classification is a challenging research problem in data mining and machine learning, as most of the real-life datasets are often imbalanced in nature.

The effect of signal digitisation in CMB experiments
Signal digitisation may produce significant effects in balloon - borne or space CMB experiments, since the limited bandwidth for downlink of data requires imposes a large quantisation step q applied on board by the instrument acquisition chain.

We investigate pH or salt‐induced hydrogel formation and dissolution for oppositely charged star‐shaped block copolymers. The experiments are supported by coarse grained simulations which explain hydrogel formation over a broad pH range. ABSTRACT We explore the possible reversible formation of hydrogels through electrostatic interactions between four ...

Are i‐Motif Structures in DNA Compatible with Cytosine–Ag(I)–Cytosine Base Pairs?
An i‐motif/duplex junction was evaluated with respect to its ability to replace the protons from the hemi‐protonated C:CH+ pairs by AgI ions to form C–AgI–C base pairs. Interestingly, only one such metal‐mediated base pair can be formed before the oligonucleotide rearranges into a duplex structure.

Pricing and Hedging of SOFR Derivatives
ABSTRACT The London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) has served since the 1970s as a fundamental measure for floating term rates across multiple currencies and maturities. However, in 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority announced the discontinuation of LIBOR from the end of 2021, and the New York Fed declared the Treasury repo financing rate, called ...

ABSTRACT Data bias is a critical challenge in machine learning applications within the financial and insurance sectors, as it can lead to misleading risk assessments and inaccurate predictive models. A prevalent source of bias in real‐world datasets is the imbalanced distribution of classes, which is particularly problematic in fraud detection, credit ...

ABSTRACT Chemically distinctive features such as high salinity, low nutrient contents, and extremes of pH can limit the development of a vegetation cover on soil‐free bare ground. This study synthesises our previous work on the geoecology of numerous chemically distinctive bare sites in the South Island and adds a temporal component within the last ...

Effect of Fourier filters in removing periodic systematic effects from CMB data
We consider the application of high-pass Fourier filters to remove periodic systematic fluctuations from full-sky survey CMB datasets. We compare the filter performance with destriping codes commonly used to remove the effect of residual 1/f noise from ...
