New approaches in high-throughput analysis of immune receptor repertoires are enabling major advances in immunology and for the discovery of precision immunotherapeutics. Commensurate with growth of the field, there has been an increased need for the establishment of techniques for quality control of immune receptor data. Our laboratory has standardized the use of multiple quality control techniques in immunoglobulin (IG) and T-cell receptor (TR) sequencing experiments to ensure quality control throughout diverse experimental conditions. These quality control methods can also validate the development of new technological approaches and accelerate the training of laboratory personnel. This chapter describes multiple quality control techniques, including split-replicate cell preparations that enable repeat analyses and bioinformatic methods to quantify and ensure high sample quality. We hope that these quality control approaches can accelerate the technical adoption and validated use of unpaired and natively paired immune receptor data.

We measure the high-intensity laser propagation throughout meter-scale, channel-guided laser-plasma accelerators by adjusting the length of the plasma channel on a shot-by-shot basis, showing high-quality guiding of 500 TW laser pulses over 30 cm in a hydrogen plasma of density n_{0}≈1×10^{17} cm^{-3}. We observed transverse energy transport of higher-order modes in the first ≈12 cm of the plasma channel, followed by quasimatched propagation, and the gradual, dark-current-free depletion of laser energy to the wake. We quantify the laser-to-wake transfer efficiency limitations of currently available petawatt-class lasers and demonstrate via simulation how control over the laser mode can significantly improve beam parameters.

Background: The offspring of parents with bipolar disorder (BD) and with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have a higher risk of having the same condition. Both disorders also share psychopathological symptoms; however, little is known about their genetic overlap. To examine whether the offspring of parents with BD have a greater chance of being affected by ADHD, we conducted a systematic review.

Strong coupling between nanocavities and single excitons at room temperature is important for studying cavity quantum electrodynamics. However, the coupling strength is highly dependent on the spatial light-confinement ability of the cavity, the number of involved excitons, and the orientation of the electric field within the cavity. By constructing a hybrid cavity with a one-dimensional photonic crystal cavity and a plasmonic nanocavity, we effectively improve the quality factor, reduce the mode volume, and control the direction of the electric field using Bloch surface waves.

University students are at a pivotal stage of shaping cancer risk factors. Little is known about their dietary behavior in Lebanon, a country heavily burdened by cancer. This cross-sectional study assessed the dietary knowledge of and adherence to cancer prevention guidelines among university students in Beirut, Lebanon.
