Network analysis reveals a potentially 'evil' alliance of opportunistic pathogens inhibited by a cooperative network in human milk bacterial communities [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 The critical importance of human milk to infants and even human civilization has been well established. Although the human milk microbiome has received increasing attention with the expansion of research on the human microbiome, our understanding of the milk microbiome has been limited to cataloguing OTUs and computation of community diversity indexes.

Allergic Reactivity and Memory Occur Independently of Sequential Switching Through IgG1
Allergy, EarlyView.Sequential switching through IgG1 is not required to produce IgE with sufficient allergen‐binding affinity to cause anaphylaxis against food allergens. Sequential switching through IgG1 does not confer a competitive advantage to become an IgE‐expressing cell.

Mandarin tone modeling using recurrent neural networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 We propose an Encoder-Classifier framework to model the Mandarin tones using recurrent neural networks (RNN). In this framework, extracted frames of features for tone classification are fed in to the RNN and casted into a fixed dimensional vector (tone embedding) and then classified into tone types using a softmax layer along with other auxiliary ...

Antipode, EarlyView.Abstract This paper revisits the Tunisian 2010–2011 uprising and its ensuing decade of agrarian contention as a crisis of social reproduction stemming from the combined effects of depletion and dispossession. It traces the lineages of the grievances that continue to animate the Tunisian countryside to the multiple and often enmeshed labours—both ...

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Managing breeding ewe mortality is a priority for the Australian sheep industry. The periparturient period carries the highest risk of mortality, but the incidence and causes in Merino ewes are not well characterised. Here, we outline the reported incidence of annual and periparturient mortality for Australian Merino ewes, causes and risk factors for ...

Brucella suis in feral pigs in Australia: what is the risk?
Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.In Australia, feral pigs (Sus scrofa) are the primary host for Brucella suis. The incidence of B. suis brucellosis in dogs in Queensland (QLD) and New South Wales (NSW) has increased, likely due to hunting and consumption of feral pig meat. This study aimed to update estimates of B.

First Description of Discrete Stars Composing the Milk Way in Thomas Watson's Hekatompathia (1582) [PDF]
arXiv, 2003 We note that the first unambiguous description of the Milk Way as being composed of a large number of discrete stars is in Sonnet 31 of Thomas Watson's (d 1592) Hekatompathia (1582), nearly 30 years before Galileo's description. We discuss implications of this early description.

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Abstract Background and Purpose Sex‐dependent vascular effects of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels and sex dimorphism in migraine are not yet fully characterized. We investigated the differential vasoactive effects of TRP ankyrin 1 (TRPA1), TRP melastatin 3 (TRPM3) and TRP vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) channels, their pharmacological mechanism(s), and

Striking the right tone: toward a self-consistent framework for measuring black hole ringdowns [PDF]
The ringdown portion of a binary black hole merger consists of a sum of modes, each containing an infinite number of tones that are exponentially damped sinusoids. In principle, these can be measured as gravitational-waves with observatories like LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA, however in practice it is unclear how many tones can be meaningfully resolved.

Alcohol use in Iraq: Perceptions of interviewed students at three Iraqi universities
Drug and Alcohol Review, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Iraq has faced decades of conflict and increased exposure to alcohol use. While the majority (60%) of Iraq's population is under the age of 24, there is no research examining their views on alcohol use and related factors. This study explores how the individual, interpersonal and social contexts of university students may ...
