Ultrasensitive MicroRNA Detection Combining Reduced Graphene Oxide Electrolyte‐Gated Transistors and Machine Learning

Small, EarlyView.
We developed an ultrasensitive and highly selective biosensor by integrating bio‐functionalized reduced graphene oxide (rGO) electrolyte‐gated transistors (EGTs) and machine learning (ML) to detect miRNAs (miR‐34a, miR‐34b, and miR‐34c) associated with cancer and neurological disorders.

Permutation Models and SVC

Notre Dame Journal of Formal Logic, 2007
Let M be a model of ZFAC (ZFC modified to allow a set of atoms), and let N be an inner model with the same set of atoms and the same pure sets (sets with no atoms in their transitive closure) as M. We show that N is a permutation submodel of M if and only if N satisfies the principle SVC (Small Violations of Choice), a weak form of the axiom of choice ...

A Bird's Eye View of English Grammar: Connecting the Dots in Two Dimensions

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Over the past few decades, discussions on grammar instruction have primarily focused on teaching methodologies, such as whether grammar should be taught explicitly or implicitly, and whether the focus should be on form or forms. This paper, however, shifts the focus to grammar itself, aiming to provide a “shape” for pedagogical grammar.

Superior vena cava syndrome in hemodialysis patient

Saudi Journal of Kidney Diseases and Transplantation, 2011
Obstruction of blood flow in the superior vena cava (SVC) results in symptoms and signs of SVC syndrome. SVC obstruction can be caused either by invasion or external compression of the SVC by contagious pathologic processes involving the right lung ...

Sargassum Lung Syndrome: Air Flow Obstruction and Bronchial Inflammation Are Observed After Prolonged Exposure to Sargassum Gas Emissions in the Eastern Caribbean

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sargassum inundation of Caribbean and American shorelines is a growing environmental hazard. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) produced by decomposing Sargassum could be involved in airway obstruction and bronchial inflammation. The study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of exposure to H2S and NH3 gases emitted during Sargassum ...
