Thermo-optic tuning and switching in SOI waveguide Fabry-Perot microcavities
Compact silicon-on-insulator (SOI) waveguide thermo-optically tunable Fabry-Perot microcavities with silicon/air Bragg mirrors are demonstrated. Quality factors of Q=4,584 are... -
Spatial patterns of unemployment in Central Europe: emerging development axes...
In this paper, we focus on mapping and analysing the spatial patterns of unemployment in four Central European countries – Austria, Czechia, Germany, and Poland, on municipal... -
Development of a data collection and management system in West Africa: challe...
Abstract Background Developing and sustaining a data collection and management system (DCMS) is difficult in malaria-endemic countries because of limitations in internet... -
Effects of training and support programs for leaders of illness-based support...
Abstract Background Peer-led support groups play an important role in supporting people with chronic diseases. They may be particularly important for people with rare diseases... -
Saturated absorption competition microscopy
Owing to the advantage of being non-invasive in observing living samples, far-field optical microscopy is widely used in the life sciences, but the existence of the diffraction... -
Mapping the predicted and potential impacts of metal mining and its mitigatio...
Abstract Background Since the 1960s, environmental impact assessments (EIAs) and recently, social impact assessments (SIAs), have been conducted during the planning stages of... -
CellTag Indexing: genetic barcode-based sample multiplexing for single-cell g...
Abstract High-throughput single-cell assays increasingly require special consideration in experimental design, sample multiplexing, batch effect removal, and data... -

Abstract Systematic reviews and systematic maps represent powerful tools to identify, collect, evaluate and summarise primary research pertinent to a specific research question... -
WhatsGNU: a tool for identifying proteomic novelty
Abstract To understand diversity in enormous collections of genome sequences, we need computationally scalable tools that can quickly contextualize individual genomes based on... -
Novel three-dimensional bone ‘mapping’ software can help assess progression o...
Abstract Imaging of bone metastasis response to therapy is a research priority. Stradwin is a new software-tool, with demonstrated sub-voxel accuracy in assessing cortical bone... -
Real-time handheld multispectral optoacoustic imaging
Multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) of functional and molecular contrast has the potential to find broad deployment in clinical practice. We have developed the first... -
ABO antigen and secretor statuses are not associated with gut microbiota comp...
Abstract Background Host genetics is one of several factors known to shape human gut microbiome composition, however, the physiological processes underlying the heritability are... -
Optimal designs for estimating a choice hierarchy by a general nested multino...
In choice experiments the process of decision-making can be more complex than the proposed by the Multinomial Logit Model (MNL). In these scenarios, models such as the Nested... -
Understanding the uptake of a clinical innovation for osteoarthritis in prima...
Abstract Background Osteoarthritis is a leading cause of pain and disability worldwide. Despite research supporting best practice, evidence-based guidelines are often not... -
Improving the planning of the GP workforce in Australia: a simulation model i...
Abstract Background In Australia, the approach to health workforce planning has been supply-led and resource-driven rather than need-based. The result has been cycles of... -
Access to specialty healthcare in urban versus rural US populations: a system...
Abstract Background Access to healthcare is a poorly defined construct, with insufficient understanding of differences in facilitators and barriers between US urban versus rural... -
Classical and Bayesian random-effects meta-analysis models with sample qualit...
Abstract Background Random-effects (RE) models are commonly applied to account for heterogeneity in effect sizes in gene expression meta-analysis. The degree of heterogeneity... -
Cnidaria: fast, reference-free clustering of raw and assembled genome and tra...
Abstract Background Identification of biological specimens is a requirement for a range of applications. Reference-free methods analyse unprocessed sequencing data without... -
Causal Interpretations of Black-Box Models
