The Effects of Distancing Design Collaboration Necessitated by COVID-19 on Brain Synchrony in Teams Compared to Co-Located Design Collaboration: A Preliminary Study.

Due to the widespread involvement of distributed collaboration triggered by COVID-19, it has become a new trend that has continued into the post-pandemic era. This study investigated collective performance within two collaborative environments (co-located and distancing settings) by assessing inter-brain synchrony patterns (IBS) among design collaborators using functional near-infrared spectroscopy. The preliminary study was conducted with three dyads who possessed 2-3 years of professional product design experience.

Epigenetic Silencing of Tumor Suppressor lncRNA : Implication on NF-κB Signaling in Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

The long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) localized to 20q13.31, is a negative regulator of NF-κB signaling implicated in carcinogenesis. As a CpG island is embedded in the promoter region of , it is hypothesized as a tumor suppressor lncRNA silenced by promoter DNA methylation in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL).

Detection of the Progenitors of Be X-ray Binaries.

A recent survey of the far-ultraviolet spectra of 264 B-emission line stars has revealed 16 systems with hot companions that are the stripped down remains of a former mass donor star. Some of these will probably become Be + neutron star X-ray binaries in the future. The actual numbers of such systems may be large, because the detected systems have companions that occupy the brief and bright, He-shell burning stage of evolution.
