WGS more accurately predicts susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to first-line drugs than phenotypic testing.

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2019
BACKGROUND Drug-susceptibility testing (DST) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) isolates by the Mycobacteria Growth Indicator Tube (MGIT) approach is the most widely applied reference standard.

Enabling Real‐Time Shape‐Sensing in Soft Robots via a Miniaturized, Single‐Signal, Color‐Tuned Soft Optical Sensor

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A miniaturized soft optical sensor that uses thin film color tuning enables real‐time 3D shape‐sensing from a single red–green–blue (RGB) signal. When integrated into a soft robot, it enables closed‐loop control and autonomous navigation in a phantom lung environment without the need for onboard electronics, achieving sub‐millimeter accuracy through ...

Hyperbolic-metamaterial waveguides for long-range propagation

, 2017
We study optical waveguides that include layers of materials and metamaterials with hyperbolic dispersion (HMM). We consider long-range regime at the dielectric-HMM interface in different waveguide geometries (single interface or symmetric cladding with ...

Unveiling Alkali‐Induced Redox Modulation: In‐Situ Spectroscopic Insights from RWGS on Alkali‐Modified ZrO2‐Supported Cu Catalysts

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Revisiting the prevailing views that alkali only enhances adsorption properties and stabilizes metal particles against sintering, this study highlights the key role of Na+ in modulating Cu redox properties. Na+ added via wet impregnation (WI) hinders Cu2+ reduction but promotes oxidation and leads to Cu site loss by sintering/coverage. In contrast, the

Deep coverage whole genome sequences and plasma lipoprotein(a) in individuals of European and African ancestries. [PDF]

, 2018
Lipoprotein(a), Lp(a), is a modified low-density lipoprotein particle that contains apolipoprotein(a), encoded by LPA, and is a highly heritable, causal risk factor for cardiovascular diseases that varies in concentrations across ancestries. Here, we use
