Testing the predictions of reinforcement: long-term empirical data from a damselfly mottled hybrid zone

Author(s): Arce-Valdés LR; Ballén-Guapacha AV; Rivas-Torres A; Chávez-Ríos JR; Wellenreuther M; Hansson B; Guillén RAS;

Theoretical work suggests that reinforcement can cause the strengthening of prezygotic isolation in sympatry by mitigating the costs of maladaptive hybridization. However, only a handful of studies have simultaneously tested multiple predictions of this theory in natural populations. We investiga ...

A fault isolation strategy for industrial processes using outlier-degree-based variable contributions

Author(s): Mu L; Sun W; Zhang Y; Feng N; Xue X; Li Q;

In industrial process monitoring, it is always a challenging and practical problem to analyze the causes of the system fault by isolating true fault variables from vast amounts of process data. However, the phenomenon of smearing effect occurs by using the traditional contribution analysis-based isolation methods since the defined isolation indices of dif ...

Benefits of a 3-month cycle of weekly virtual museum tours in community dwelling older adults: Results of a randomized controlled trial

Author(s): Beauchet O; Matskiv J; Galery K; Goossens L; Lafontaine C; Sawchuk K;

Background: Museums can be instrumental in fostering social inclusion and may improve the overall health of the older population. Over the course of the 2019 coronavirus pandemic, many older adults suffered as a result of confinement measures, which may have accelerated the processes that lead to physical frailty and increased mental health risks. This st ...

Microfluidic Platforms for the Isolation and Detection of Exosomes: A Brief Review

Author(s): Raju D; Bathini S; Badilescu S; Ghosh A; Packirisamy M;

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a group of communication organelles enclosed by a phospholipid bilayer, secreted by all types of cells. The size of these vesicles ranges from 30 to 1000 nm, and they contain a myriad of compounds such as RNA, DNA, proteins, and lipids from their origin cells, offering a good source of biomarkers. Exosomes (30 to 100 nm) a ...

Magnetic particle based liquid biopsy chip for isolation of extracellular vesicles and characterization by gene amplification

Author(s): Bathini S; Pakkiriswami S; Ouellette RJ; Ghosh A; Packirisamy M;

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are the cell-derived vesicles which play a critical role in cell-to-cell communication, and disease progression. These vesicles contain a myriad of substances like RNA, DNA, proteins, and lipids from their origin cells, offering a good source of biomarkers. The existing methods for the isolation of EVs are time-consuming, lack ...
