Subtle phenomena rooted in our body dynamics affect the reactive and evolutive parts of every human interaction. The authors' decision model allows for adaptive physical interactions between a human and a virtual agent. This article presents an evaluation of that model in terms of agent believability, the user's feeling of co-presence, and overall game experience. The results show that the model can generate adaptive body behavior for virtual agents that is comparable to a human's, but the user and agent roles in each scenario strongly impact the user's perception of the agent.

Urea pollution is a growing environmental concern, and its removal catalytic hydrolysis is challenging due to the resonance-stabilized amide bonds. In nature, this reaction is catalyzed by ureases in many soil bacteria. However, the remedy of this problem with natural enzymes is not feasible as they are easily denatured and require high costs for both preparation and storage.

Background: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the major complications of Type 2 diabetes, clinically characterized by a progressive increase in albuminuria and/or a subsequent decline in glomerular filtration rate. Identification of novel risk factors contributes to reduction in the risk of diabetic kidney disease. Bilirubin, as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory molecule, is believed to have a protective role in kidney disease.

Unlabelled: Diverticulitis and ulcerative colitis (UC) are two separate colonic pathologies with different underlying mechanisms. Diverticulosis involves herniation of mucosal and submucosal tissue through muscular tissue in response to increased intraluminal pressure. In contrast, it is believed that the muscular tone in patients with UC is reduced due to chronic inflammatory changes.

Background: High-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are present and can cooperate with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) to initiate and/or enhance the progression of several types of human carcinomas including cervical as well as head and neck; in parallel, it has been recently pointed out that these oncoviruses can be detected in human breast cancers. Thus, we herein explored the presence/co-presence of high-risk HPVs and EBV in breast cancer in Lebanese women.
Methods: A cohort of 102 breast cancer samples and 14 normal breast tissues were assessed for the presence of HPVs and EBV.

We recently performed two studies exploring the presence of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs) types 16, 18, 31, 33 and 35 in human colorectal cancers from the Syrian population. Herein, we report that EBV and high-risk HPVs are co-present in colorectal cancers from Syria. We reveal that 17 (~17%) of 102 cancer samples are positive for both EBV and high-risk HPVs and their co-presence is associated with high/intermediate grade invasive carcinomas.
