College students in recovery from alcohol and other drugs find themselves within a developmental and institutional context that often normalizes substance use, creating distinct challenges to recovery maintenance and social integration. This article examines differences in mental...

Ancient Truncated FtsZ Paralogs Likely Tune Cell Division in Hyphomicrobiales

Abstract Bacterial cell division is a well conserved, tightly regulated process that allows the separation of two viable daughter cells. In most bacteria, the proteins that drive division, termed the divisome, are recruited to mid-cell by FtsZ after it polymerizes to form the Z-r...

Design and Structure of Protein Cages Based on Helical Fusion and Machine Learning

ABSTRACT Self-assembling protein cages are versatile nanoscale architectures with broad applications in drug delivery, vaccine development, and structural biology. Historically, two main strategies have been used to construct such cages: genetic fusion of oligomeric domains conne...

Fuzzy decision-making in asset markets

Abstract This paper develops an infinite-horizon, Lucas-type general equilibrium model of asset markets with a fuzzy decision-making investor. The model yields closed-form intuitive solutions for the equilibrium equity premium and risk-free rate. The solutions clearly separate th...
