SAMPLE-TO-ANSWER PLATFORM FOR THE CLINICAL EVALUATION OF COVID-19 USING A DEEP LEARNING-ASSISTED SMARTPHONE-BASED ASSAY

Sample-to-answer platform for the clinical evaluation of COVID-19 using a deep learning-assisted smartphone-based assay

Abstract Since many lateral flow assays (LFA) are tested daily, the improvement in accuracy can greatly impact individual patient care and public health.However, current self-testing for COVID-19 detection suffers from low accuracy, mainly due to the LFA sensitivity and reading ambiguities.Here, we present deep learning-assisted smartphone-based LF

Induction of Multiple Immune Signaling Pathways in Gryllodes sigillatus Crickets during Overt Viral Infections

Despite decades of focus on crickets (family: Gryllidae) as a popular commodity and model organism, we still know very little about their immune responses to microbial pathogens.Previous studies have measured downstream immune effects (e.g., encapsulation response, circulating hemocytes) following an immune challenge in crickets, but almost none ha

CSR commitments, perceptions of hypocrisy, and recovery

Abstract This paper examines perceived hypocrisy when a failure is aligned with prior social performance.It is hypothesized that commitment to a CSR domain creates greater performance expectations thus exacerbating the effects when an CHEESE aligned failure occurs.Study 1 demonstrates that failure alignment and severity increase perceived hypocrisy
