Abstract: An oral product includes a body that is wholly receivable in an oral cavity. The body includes a mouth-soluble polymer matrix, cellulosic fibers embedded in the mouth-soluble polymer matrix, and nicotine or a derivative thereof dispersed in the mouth-soluble polymer matrix. The oral product is adapted to release the nicotine or a derivative thereof from the body when the body is received within the oral cavity and exposed to saliva.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to the finding that certain modeling of single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) data can provide cell profiles of the analyzed cell population. Certain aspects use algorithms including topic modeling, burst modeling, and data integration to determine the profiles. To apply RNA velocity to more general systems, including immune response studies, aspects herein concern a new approach that can infer the cells and genes associated with distinct active processes via probabilistic topic modeling and uses the results to estimate process-specific velocity parameters.

Abstract: Thermally-sensitive structures and methods for sensing the temperature in a region of a FET during device operation are described. The region may be at or near a region of highest temperature achieved in the FET. Metal resistance thermometry (MRT) can be implemented with gate or source structures to evaluate the temperature of the FET.

Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus are provided through which in some embodiments field-effect-transistor (FET) leakage is estimated recursively from a pixel value obtained when the FET is off. The corrected pixel value is then obtained by subtracting the FET leakage estimate from the pixel value read when the FET is on. A weighing factor is introduced for the FET leakage estimation to achieve the balance between image noise and correction resolution.
