The last decade has seen exciting advances in the development of potential stem cell-based therapies for Parkinson's disease (PD), which have used different types of stem cells as starting material. These cells have been...
This article is concerned with the problem of constructing lightweight MDS matrices. The authors present a new construction of 4 × 4 MDS matrices over GL(F2, m) for any integer m. They give sufficient and necessary conditions to...
The purpose of this study is to extend previous research on organisational issues of sport mega-events through the development of a framework for the Olympic Games. A three-step approach was taken. Firstly, a systematic...
ABSTRACTScientific societies played a crucial role in the emergence of a professional culture of science in Britain in the mid- to late-19th Century. At first sight, James Croll's membership of a...

Introduction: Care homes provide nursing and social care for older people who can no longer live independently at home. In the UK, there is no consistent approach to how information about residents’ medical history, care needs...
Academic conferences are among the most prolific scientific activities, yet the current abstract submission and review process has serious limitations. We propose a revised process that would address these limitations, achieve...
Despite an overwhelming scientific consensus, a sizable minority of people doubt that human activity is causing climate change. Communicating the existence of a scientific consensus has been suggested as a way to correct...
The Earth BioGenome Project (EBP) is an audacious endeavor to obtain whole-genome sequences of representatives from all eukaryotic species on Earth. In addition to the project's technical and organizational challenges, it also...
Applying the extended technology acceptance model (TAM2), this research study examined the doctors' perceptions about acceptance of internet-of-things medical devices (IoT-MDs) technology to track and monitor the health of...
BACKGROUND: Care homes provide long term care for older people. Countries with standardised approaches to residents' assessment, care planning and review (known as minimum data sets (MDS)) use the aggregate data to guide...
Ursinus College prides itself on creating well-rounded students, and recent initiatives, such as the Fellowships in the Ursinus Transition to the Undergraduate Research Experience Program and the Center for Science and the...
President Henry Sims will begin a series of reviews and discussions of books dealing with international problems. President Sims will review Leland Stowe's "While Time Remains". All books in this discussion series are presented...
SF3B1, SRSF2, and U2AF1 are the most frequently mutated splicing factor genes in the myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). We have performed a comprehensive and systematic analysis to determine the effect of these commonly mutated...
Heterozygous somatic mutations affecting the spliceosome gene SF3B1 drive age-related clonal hematopoiesis, myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and other neoplasms. To study their role in such disorders, we generated knock-in mice...
This commentary is written in response to the recent article from Herring et al., discussing the eradication of the offensive term "retardation" from gene nomenclature. We discuss the work of the HUGO (Human Genome Organisation)...
The members of the committee are: Kathy Bigham, chair John Bird, co-chair Karl Folkens Tim Hopkins Glenn McCall Janet Smalley Sue Smith-Rex Scott Talley. During the first phase of the search, consultant Bill Funk of R. William...
Scientists are guided by how their research impacts the world outside their labs. Researchers are driven to publish to inform further science, but communication goes beyond these formal publications. To connect science to the...
Repeatability is the cornerstone of science, and it is particularly important for systematic reviews. However, little is known on how researchers' choice of database, and search platform influence the repeatability of systematic...
The Initial Accreditation Committee is a 20-member group of deans from around the world who make the final recommendation on approval for accreditation status of all business schools seeking initial accreditation. Debra Boyd...
The presidential search committee will meet with 12 candidates next week in Charlotte. The 12 candidates will be narrowed down to three and then recommended to the board.
Data science can be incorporated into every stage of a scientific study. Here we describe how data science can be used to generate hypotheses, to design experiments, to perform experiments, and to analyse data. We also present...
