Background

In the last two decades, several rapid lateral flow immunoassays (LFIs) for the diagnosis of human leptospirosis were developed and commercialized. However, the accuracy and reliability of these LFIs are not well understood. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the accuracy of leptospirosis LFIs as well as the factors affecting the test efficiency using systematic review and meta-analysis.

Identification of Low-Complexity Domains by Compositional Signatures Reveals Class-Specific Frequencies and functions across the domains of life

Plos.org 

by Sean M. Cascarina, Eric D. Ross

Low-complexity domains (LCDs) in proteins are typically enriched in one or two predominant amino acids. As a result, LCDs often exhibit unusual structural/biophysical tendencies and can occupy functional niches. However, for each organism, protein sequences must be compatible with intracellular biomolecules and physicochemical environment, both of which vary from organism to organism. This raises the possibility that LCDs may occupy sequence spaces in select... Читать дальше...

Marmosets mutually compensate for differences in rhythms when coordinating vigilance

by Nikhil Phaniraj, Rahel K. Brügger, Judith M. Burkart

Synchronization is widespread in animals, and studies have often emphasized how this seemingly complex phenomenon can emerge from very simple rules. However, the amount of flexibility and control that animals might have over synchronization properties, such as the strength of coupling, remains underexplored. Here, we studied how pairs of marmoset monkeys coordinated vigilance while feeding. By modeling them as coupled oscillators, we... Читать дальше...

Artificial neural networks for model identification and parameter estimation in computational cognitive models

Plos.org 

by Milena Rmus, Ti-Fen Pan, Liyu Xia, Anne G. E. Collins

Computational cognitive models have been used extensively to formalize cognitive processes. Model parameters offer a simple way to quantify individual differences in how humans process information. Similarly, model comparison allows researchers to identify which theories, embedded in different models, provide the best accounts of the data. Cognitive modeling uses statistical tools to quantitatively relate models to data that often rely... Читать дальше...

Elephant Rumblings: Gelof returns, A’s fall behind in Houston

Happy Wednesday, Athletics Nation!

The Astros have been bad this year, but it seems they may still have the A’s number after taking a 2-0 series lead with last night’s heartbreaking extra innings walk off in Houston. Adding insult to injury, the Astros’ win came despite starting pitcher Ronel Blanco being ejected from the game for having a foreign substance on his glove.

Zack is back, but Law got sent back to Triple-A to hone his bat. Читать дальше...

Classic TV Is the Perfect Binge Watch For So Many Reasons

Блог сайта «Face Tube is a fun name,» 

Classic TV shows are still loved and appreciated by the masses today.

We all have specific go-to favorites we have seen many times over but never seem to get sick of watching.
