Scalar-valued functions are ubiquitous in scientific research. Analysis and visualization of scalar functions defined on low-dimensional and simple domains is a well-understood problem, but complications arise when the domain is high-dimensional or topologically complex. Topological analysis and Morse theory provide tools that are effective in distilling useful information from such difficult s...

BACKGROUND Depression occurs in up to 50% of patients after stroke and limits rehabilitation and recovery. Mood disorders are also highly prevalent in carers; their mental health intertwined with the physical and mental wellbeing of the person they are caring for. We argue that working with families, rather than patients alone may improve the treatment of depression in both patients and their c...

In this paper, we present a model economy that can account for the changes in the current account balance in China since the early 2000s. Our results suggest that the increase in the household saving rate and tighter financial constraints facing the firms played equally important roles in the increase in the current account surplus until 2008. We argue that inadequate insurance through governme...

Members of the family Chlamydiaceae possess at least 13 genes, distributed throughout the chromosome, that are homologous with genes of known type III secretion systems (TTS). The aim of this study was to use putative TTS proteins of Chlamydophila pneumoniae, whose equivalents in other bacterial TTS function as chaperones, to identify interactions between chlamydial proteins. Using the Bacterio...

CBP501 is an anticancer drug candidate that was investigated in two randomized phase II clinical trials for patientswith nonsquamous non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) andmalignant pleuralmesothelioma (MPM). CBP501 has been shown to have twomechanisms of action, namely calmodulinmodulation andG2 checkpoint abrogation. Here, we searched for a biomarker to predict sensitivity to CBP501. Twenty-ei...
