Hox-Mediated Evolution of a Novel Cell Type in Rove Beetles

Kishi, Yuriko

Animal body plans are composed of a series of segments, the identities of which are specified early in development by a conserved Hox transcription factor code. How evolution generates new cell types and organs within the context of the bauplan remains incompletely known. Here, we show how canonical Hox proteins can be...

Validating and improving surgeon-level arthroplasty outcome monitoring in New Zealand

Lingard, Morgan Charles Henry

IntroductionThe New Zealand Joint Registry (NZJR) monitors arthroplasty surgeon performance using revision rates presented on funnel plots. Historically this used all-time, unadjusted revision rate. Potential outliers are identified and required to undertake further audit of their results and present these in a peer-re...

Self-alienated spirit: Subjectivity, emancipation, critique, and the question of Hegel's influence on critical theory

Dearnley-Smith, Oliver Rory

Alienation is a central concept to critical theory, but one that has been challenged as being overdetermined and incoherent. I read alienation as plagued by two key conceptual ambivalences: that a) alienation describes i) both a constitutive and necessary condition, but ii) one that critique seeks to overcome, and b) t...

Understanding Post-transcriptional Regulation in the Molecular Clock

Brownstein, Nathan

Circadian rhythms are endogenous, self-perpetuating patterns of gene expression which oscillate with a period of 24 hours that matches the rotation of the earth. The transcriptomic state of the organism within this pattern allows it to anticipate and adapt to environmental changes by driving physiological and behaviora...

The Power of Storytelling

Acuña-Luna, Raymundo

The Power of Storytelling: An Autoethnography of a Retention Counselor Working with College Students of Migrant and Seasonal Farmworking (MSFW) Backgrounds at a Predominantly White Institution delves into a former retention counselor's personal and professional journey. It centers his quest to find his voice by focusin...

Prescription medicine use in pregnancy

Donald, Sarah Michelle

<strong>Background</strong>Prescription medication use during pregnancy has risen over recent decades in many countries, therefore addressing the lack of robust pregnancy safety data for many medications is essential. Post-marketing studies that use routinely collected healthcare records provide an opportunity to stren...

Navigating language hierarchies in the Indian Ocean and the Caribbean

Gilbert, Katharine

Creoles have, since the languages first appeared, been marginalized in official spaces, which has not only led to the marginalization of Creole speakers, but also engendered anti-Creole biases and alienation in Creole speakers. All that was connected to Frenchness—language, religion, culture, etc.—was considered inhere...

Microbial Chain Elongation for Production of Medium Chain Carboxylic Acid from Wet Organic Waste

Harahap, Budi Mandra

Microbial chain elongation is a biochemical process that converts lower-value chemicals such as ethanol and short chain carboxylic acids (SCCAs) into higher-value medium chain carboxylic acids (MCCAs). These MCCAs are derived from low-cost substrates, such as waste materials, and have lower solubility in water, making...

Gaussian Processes for Scientific Machine Learning: PDE Solvers and Operator Learning

Darcy, Matthieu D.

We present applications of probabilistic machine learning, with a strong emphasis on Gaussian processes, to several problems arising from differential equations. In particular, we consider three topics: designing solvers for forward and inverse problems, operator learning, and learning and predicting dynamical systems...
