Structural and Mechanistic Basis of Bacterial 2-Methyl-ACC Synthases

Abstract Cyclopropane-containing amino acids are found in diverse natural products and contribute to their structural complexity and biological activity. However, the distribution of bacterial biosynthetic pathways that produce methylated cyclopropane amino acids and the structur...

Banach–Stone type theorems on uniformly continuous and Lipschitz continuous pseudometrics

Abstract For a uniform space $$Z = (Z,\mathcal {U}_Z)$$ Z = ( Z , U Z ) with a uniformity $$\mathcal {U}_Z$$ U Z , a pseudometric d on Z is uniformly continuous with respect to $$\mathcal {U}_Z$$ U Z if for each $$\epsilon > 0$$ ϵ > 0 , there is an entourage $$U \in \mathcal {U}_...

Navigating to Interact: A Dual‐Graph Framework Orchestrating Semantic Exploration and Local Positioning for Household Assisting Robots

Performing tasks for household assisting robots in complex, multi‐room environments requires embodied agents to accomplish long‐horizon cross‐room navigation and precise object interaction. However, existing approaches typically focus either on visual navigation without physical...

Towards A Universal Analytical Model of Population III Star Formation: A Bridge Between Cosmological Scales and Protostars

Abstract We construct an analytical model of Population III star formation that connects the cosmological radiation background to sub-AU protostellar disk fragmentation, a dynamic range inaccessible to any single simulation. Our approach is based on combining separate models of t...

The Tapestry of Care in Good Night, Mr. Tom: Reciprocity, Remembrance, and Resilience

Abstract This study analyzes Good Night, Mr. Tom by Michelle Magorian through a care-centered framework, arguing that the novel constructs care as a reciprocal process that reshapes both children and adults. Set during the Second World War, the narrative follows William Beech, a...

Rapid Re-activation of Functionally Inhibited Hamstring Muscles via Real-Time EMG Visual Feedback in an Asymptomatic Masters Sprinter: A Case Report

Background Masters athletes inevitably face age-related neuromuscular alterations, such as dynapenia, where the loss of muscle strength and power exceeds the loss of muscle mass. In sprinters, the selective loss of neural drive to the posterior chain impairs performance and incre...
