Importance Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO)
have been recommended for acute hypoxemic respiratory failure in patients with COVID-19…

The primary structural component of the bacterial cell wall is peptidoglycan, which is
essential for viability and the synthesis of which is the target for crucial antibiotics 1 , 2 . …

Bayesian optimization has recently emerged as a popular method for the sample-efficient
optimization of expensive black-box functions. However, the application to high-dimensional …

National mortality statistics were analysed to assess the contribution made by different
causes of death to the decline of mortality between 1901 and 1971. Reduced mortality from …

In our previous paper, the technique is described and illustrated in detail; however, a few
important points need to be stressed (fig. 2). 1) The ileac segment should be as short as is …

Peptidoglycan performs the essential role of resisting turgor in the cell walls of most bacteria.
It determines cell shape, and its biosynthesis is the target for many important antibiotics. …

A novel bacterium has been isolated in pure culture from the gland of Deshayes in six species
of teredinid bivalves. It is the first bacterium known to both digest cellulose and fix nitrogen…

Wood exposed for 104 days at a depth of 1830 meters at the permanent station of the research
submersible DSRV Alvin was completely riddled by two species of bivalve wood borers (…

We combine Bayesian online change point detection with Gaussian processes to create a
nonparametric time series model which can handle change points. The model can be used to …

Cough is a predominant feature of respiratory infection and, in tuberculosis, is of prime
importance for transmitting infection. Tuberculosis is transmitted by the air, yet the process by …
