2q33 Deletions Underlying Syndromic and Non-syndromic CTLA4 Deficiency.

Purpose: CTLA4 deficiency is an inborn error of immunity (IEI) due to heterozygosity for germline loss-of-function variants of the CTLA4 gene located on chromosome 2q33.2. CTLA4 deficiency underlies pleiotropic immune and lymphoproliferation-mediated features with incomplete penetrance.

The effects of target distance on kinematic sequence of the short game in male collegiate golfers.

Golf is an international sport that has become increasingly more popular in recent times. Previous literature has shown that golf approach shots are crucial to the success of elite golfers. However, there is no known publication investigating distances less than 100 yards, known as the short game.

A nanofluidic exchanger for harvesting saline gradient energy.

The energy of saline gradients is a very promising source of non-intermittent renewable energy, the exploitation of which is hampered by the lack of viable technology. The most investigated harvesting methods rely on selective transport of ions or water molecules through semi-permeable or ion-selective membranes, which demonstrate limited power densities of the order of a few W m. While in the last decade, single nanofluidic objects such as nanopores of nanotubes have opened up very promising prospects with power density capabilities in the order of kW or even MW m, scale-up efforts face serious issues, as concentration polarization phenomena result in a massive loss of performance.
