The global pandemic of COVID-19 has made the public pay close attention to related news, covering various domains, such as sanitation, treatment, and effects on education. Meanwhile, the COVID-19 ...condition is very different among the countries (e.g., policies and development of the epidemic), and thus citizens would be interested in news in foreign countries. We build a system for worldwide COVID-19 information aggregation containing reliable articles from 10 regions in 7 languages sorted by topics. Our reliable COVID-19 related website dataset collected through crowdsourcing ensures the quality of the articles. A neural machine translation module translates articles in other languages into Japanese and English. A BERT-based topic-classifier trained on our article-topic pair dataset helps users find their interested information efficiently by putting articles into different categories.
This report presents a part of the findings from the Hong Kong Online Public Opinion Data Mining Project (http://www.webopinion.hk/) that aims to collect and analyze online public opinion towards ...different issues and topics in Hong Kong. The report provides an overview of public opinion on a variety of topics such as public figures, organizations, and social issues. A total of 12 online platforms including discussion forums, news portal sites, and online news media are included in the analysis (for methodological details, see Text-Mining Online Public Opinion in Hong Kong: Methods and Procedures https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/b2mex/). The time span of the analysis in this report is from January 2000 (i.e., the earliest data point obtained) to June 2017 (i.e., the end of the third Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying’s administration).

Can diabetes be reversed? Yes! The weight loss due to intensive lifestyle intervention leads to the recovery of islet β cell function, thus changing the natural course of type 2 diabetes.
To study the expression of protein kinase Calpha (PKCalpha) during differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESC)into neuron-like cells in an attempt to elucidate their role in signaling.
ES-D3 ...cells were subjected to an 18-day induction procedure which consisted of 4 days of culture as embryoid bodies (EBs) without all-trans retinoic acid (RA) followed by 14 days of culture in the presence of RA, then the EBs were plated separately onto gelatin-coated 6-well culture dishes coated glass coverslip for immunohistochemistry, onto 100-mm-diameter bacteriological (nontissue culture) dish for Western blot assay and RT-PCR, and were cultivated and collected cells for 1, 3, 5, 7 and 14 days in the presence of RA.
Staining of PKCalpha was strong and distributed throughout the cells, especially in the cytoplasm and membrane. Western blot analysis exhibited a band of approximately 84 kD with the antibody specific to PKCalpha. After induction of RA, PKCalpha was present in significantly lower levers in induced ESC a
