Malaria affects hundreds of millions of people each year.While most cases are not life threatening, a significant number of infections by Plasmodium falciparum result in severe malaria, manifested in one or more of three major syndromes: anemia, respiratory distress, and cerebral malaria.These occur as parasites infect... | Cerebral malaria is a deadly outcome of infection by Plasmodium falciparum, occurring when parasite-infected erythrocytes accumulate in the brain.These erythrocytes display parasite proteins of the PfEMP1 family that bind various endothelial receptors.Analysis of multiple Plasmodium falciparum genomes showed that ICAM-... |
presence of dual-binding motif-containing PfEMP1s is associated with the development of CM.A major challenge in associating malaria disease phenotypes to the expression of PfEMP1s with specific binding properties has been the ability to predict ligand-binding capability from sequence alone.In this study, we used struct... | Despite the importance of cerebral malaria, a binding phenotype linked to its symptoms has not been identified.Expression of these PfEMP1s, predicted to bind both ICAM-1 and EPCR, is associated with increased risk of developing cerebral malaria.This study therefore reveals an important PfEMP1-binding phenotype that cou... |

Existing deep multitask learning approaches align layers shared between tasks in a parallel ordering.Such an organization significantly constricts the types of shared structure that can be learned.The necessity of parallel ordering for deep MTL is first tested by comparing it with permuted ordering of shared layers.The... | Relaxing the constraint of shared hierarchies enables more effective deep multitask learning. |
CFL in the beginning of the trial, forming an extreme group .More colloquially, this is compatible with the interpretation that our participants “caught up” to the general population for which the 82% uptake rate among the 68 novel and not preselected participants can be taken as a proxy.For further results, we conduct... | We conducted a randomized controlled field experiment involving 651 Kibera residents assessing whether the joint impact of monetary incentives and behavioral interventions (pre-commitment and simplified information highlighting CFL benefits) could increase CFL uptake.A monetary incentive covering the incremental cost o... |
