TP-Ring and ZN-Ring Systems Allow Efficient Protein Clamping, Solubilization and Stabilization
Abstract Improving recombinant protein stability remains a central challenge in biotechnology, as many proteins exhibit limited robustness during production and use. Here, we introduce two intramolecular “clamping” systems, termed ZN-ring and TP-ring, that exploit ultrastable non...

A Review of Input Current Ripple Reduction Techniques in Non-Isolated DC–DC Boost Converters
Input current ripple reduction in DC-DC boost converters is a persistent challenge because input current ripples are driving up filter requirements, electromagnetic interference (EMI), and stress on sources and loads. This ultimately limits power density and efficiency in many ap...

ABSTRACT While carbon sources released by plant roots and fungi are known to favor the enrichment of mineral weathering (MWe) bacteria, their impact on MWe activity remains poorly understood. The relationships among bacterial MWe ability, metabolism, and carbon source utilization...

When Participation Becomes a Criterion: Developing an Analytical Framework for Participatory Science
Participatory science projects have multiplied in recent years, yet frameworks to analyse and evaluate them remain fragmented. While conventional research relies on standardized criteria, participatory research requires approaches that account for collaborative processes, governa...

The Tradeoff behind Optimal 3-Fold (C,N)-Coordinated Single-Atom Catalysts
Abstract Single-atom catalysts have emerged as a powerful class of catalytic materials, maximizing atom efficiency through isolated metal centers. However, their design inherently relies on a delicate balance between stability and catalytic performance. In this work, we investiga...

SIESTR: a novel method to analyze Species’ Introductions Effects in Space and Time on Range dynamics
Rapidly shifting climates will lead to species range shifts over the next century. Artificially introducing species in new locations to enhance species migration, termed assisted migration (AM), has been suggested as one possible strategy to avoid species extinction. While curren...

The First Book of Maccabees is widely regarded as an instance of conservative, biblically oriented historiography in which Hellenistic influence on narrative composition is minimal or absent. This article challenges that consensus through a close analysis of two key passages. (a)...
