HSSynergy: scale-aware hierarchical attention for interpretable drug synergy prediction
Abstract Combination therapy offers a promising strategy for cancer treatment by reducing toxicity and overcoming drug resistance. However, existing substructure-based prediction methods may struggle to effectively capture the scale-specific features of substructure interactions...

People tend to rate themselves as more creative than average, but how this better-than-average effect (BTAE) generalizes across creativity aspects and which individual differences predict it remains unclear. In two online studies (N = 700), participants evaluated themselves relat...

A Residual Driven Multiscale Method for Darcy’s Flow in Perforated Domains
In this paper, we present a residual-driven multiscale method for simulating Darcy flow in perforated domains, where complex geometries and highly heterogeneous permeability make direct simulations computationally expensive. To address this, we introduce a velocity-pressure elimi...

This paper focuses on developing and analyzing two novel implicit temporal discretization methods for the stochastic semilinear wave equations with multiplicative noise. The proposed methods are natural extensions of well-known time discrete schemes for deterministic wave equatio...

Background The ‘Balbi model’ is a simplified physical model for surface fires which provides the main physical characteristics of a fire front and its rate of spread (ROS) as a function of general environmental conditions. In the first part of this work, we describe a simplificat...

The Balbi operational model, a simplified physical model for surface fires. Part I – modelling
Background Previously published versions of the ‘Balbi model’ describing surface fire propagation consist of a set of equations based on simplified conservation laws. Their main equation calculating the fire rate of spread (ROS) relied on an iterative process to account for the e...

Oleic Acid Binding and Exchange Dynamics on NaYF4 Nanocrystals
Abstract Lanthanide-doped NaYF4 nanocrystals (NCs) are widely used for their exceptional photoluminescence properties. Their performance and processability are critically dependent on surface-bound ligands such as oleic acid. While these ligands stabilize NCs during synthesis and...

Unified down-stream analysis of crosslinking mass spectrometry results with pyXLMS
Abstract Crosslinking mass spectrometry has become the method of choice for the identification of protein-protein interactions and for gaining insight into the structures of proteins in vivo. However, connecting crosslink search engine results with down-stream analysis tools, and...

Host tissue stoichiometry links nutrient availability to parasite abundance in a piscivorous fish
Abstract Understanding how ecosystem nutrient availability influences parasites is challenging, especially for trophically transmitted parasites in hosts occupying higher trophic levels. Host tissue nutrient stoichiometry may elucidate these effects by indicating nutrient availab...
