Identification of Calcium-Sensing Receptor (CAS) as a Phytaspase Interactor: Implications for the CAS Trafficking Pathway

Proteolytic enzymes play important and diverse roles in regulating protein homeostasis in living cells. Phytaspase, a member of the plant subtilisin-like protease family possessing a ‘caspase-like’ selectivity and specificity of hydrolysis of its targets, is a cell death-related...

Population-Based Discrimination of Classical and Few-Photon Microwave Fields with a Flux-Tunable Transmon Qudit

Interactions between few-photon microwave fields and superconducting artificial atoms provide a method to study photon statistics and manipulate quantum states for photonic quantum information processing. Superconducting transmons couple to microwave fields through an anharmonic...

Chronic Ultrasound (‘Emotional’) Stress in Mice Exacerbates Colitis Through GSK3β-Mediated Neuroimmune Dysregulation and Is Ameliorated by Probiotic Intervention

Background: Growing evidence supports a bidirectional relationship between ‘emotional’ (psychological) stress and intestinal inflammation. ‘Emotional stress’, a form of stress that is triggered by negative information and experiences of non-physical nature, is an established risk...

Computational homogenization of unsteady flows in a periodic porous medium

The work is devoted to the development and computational implementation of the homogenization method for modeling unsteady flows of a viscous incompressible fluid in periodic porous media taking into account memory effects. At the macrolevel, the flow is described by an integro-d...

Machine learning prediction of electronic density of states using Lorentzian basis expansion

In this work we propose an approach for fast and reliable prediction of electronic density of states (DOS), which provides valuable information about physical properties of crystals and particularly important for discovery and screening of new materials. Presented method is based...

Microgels Based on Amphiphilic Polymer Conetworks at a Liquid–Liquid Interface: Microphase Segregation in Swollen Particles

Abstract Amphiphilic microgels with a diblock copolymer-like network architecture (each subchain of the network is a diblock copolymer chain) were studied at the interface of two immiscible liquids (oil and water) using mesoscopic computer simulations. It was shown that adsorptio...

Regional Digitalization and Food-Service Industry Productivity: Evidence from Russian Regions

This study examines how different dimensions of the regional digital environment are associated with productivity in the food-service sector across Russian regions. Using regional panel data, the study distinguishes among digital infrastructure, digital platform adoption, online...

Gas sensor properties of CuGa2O4-based nanocomposites: role of phase composition and microstructure

Practical implementation of machine olfaction and electronic nose systems requires gas-sensing materials with excellent long-term stability for reliable operation in sensor arrays. Promising in this regard nanocrystalline CuGa 2 O 4 -based materials were synthesized by flame spra...

Splitting Schemes for Problems with Memory

Abstract The paper considers the Cauchy problem for a first-order integro-differential equation with memory in a finite-dimensional Hilbert space. The main computational difficulty of such problems is the need to store and process the solution at all previous time levels. To over...

Identification of Highly Cytotoxic Antisense Oligonucleotides Targeting Essential Genes in Human Ovarian and Lung Cancer Cells

Therapeutic nucleic acid (TNA)‐based gene silencing strategies, such as antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), have been explored for cancer treatment. However, no ASO‐based anticancer drugs are currently available, largely because of limited therapeutic efficacy. Conventional ASO‐ba...

Differences in weight loss practices and perceptions between medalists and non-medalists in national-level adolescent Sanda athletes

Objectives This study aimed to compare weight loss (WL) practices and perceptions between medalists and non-medalists among Chinese national-level adolescent Sanda athletes. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted among national-level adolescent Sanda athletes using the Ra...

NMR Structure and Dynamics of the Starfish Three-Finger Protein Lystar5

Abstract Objective: The primary goal of this study was to determine the spatial structure and investigate the intramolecular dynamics of Lystar5, the first functionally characterized three-finger protein (TFP) from the starfish Asterias rubens. Methods: Spatial structure determin...

Thermoelectric Performance Optimization toward Practical and Wearable Applications

Conspectus Although maximizing the thermoelectric figure of merit (zT) has long been the central objective in thermoelectric research, our studies reveal that high intrinsic material performance alone cannot guarantee a stable and efficient thermoelectric output in practical oper...

On the Uniqueness of Solutions for Variational Problems in Mathematical Geophysics Within the Framework of the Method of Linear Integral Representations

Various versions (local and regional, as well as stationary and non-stationary) of the method of linear integral representations in solving inverse problems of geophysics are considered. Particular attention is paid to the issues of unique solvability of variational problems that...

Mycobiota in Peatlands of the Discontinuous Permafrost Zone (Murmansk Oblast)

Abstract— Peatlands are an extremely challenging environment for microbial life. Most studies of fungi in such biotopes have focused on temperate-zone bogs, while northern bogs, including those in permafrost regions, remain poorly investigated. The aim of this work was to study t...

The Cold-Air Outbreaks in the Marine Boundary Layer Experiment model-observation intercomparison project (COMBLE-MIP) – Part 1: Model specification, observational constraints, and preliminary findings

Models struggle to represent the coupled microphysical, turbulent and radiative processes within widespread, long-lived marine cold-air outbreak (CAO) cloud fields, contributing to forecast and climate biases. Here we combine ground-based and satellite measurements to initialize...

Large-amplitude bending vibration in C3 molecule: Refined theory of rovibrational effects supported by ab initio calculations

The present work aims to characterize the diverse spectroscopic properties of an astrophysically relevant C3 homonuclear molecule, with particular attention to its extremely low bending vibration frequency. This ultimately necessitated a refinement of a perturbative Herman-Wallis...
