Extensive Variation in the Activities of <i>Pseudocerastes</i> and <i>Eristicophis</i> Viper Venoms Suggests Divergent Envenoming Strategies Are Used for Prey Capture by Bianca op den Brouw, Francisco C. P. Coimbra, Lachlan A. Bourke, Tam Minh Huynh, Danielle H. W. Vlecken, Parviz Ghezellou, Jeroen C. Visser, James S. Dobson, Manuel A. Fernandez-Rojo, Maria P. Ikonomopoulou, Nicholas R. Casewell, Syed A. Ali, Behzad Fathinia, Wayne C. Hodgson, Bryan G. Fry

“…The coagulant properties of <i>P. fieldi</i> and <i>P. persicus</i> venoms varied among plasmas, demonstrating strong anticoagulant activity in the amphibian and human plasmas but no significant effect in that of bird. This is conjectured to reflect prey-specific toxin activity, though further ecological studies are required to confirm any dietary associations. …”

Doubly-heavy baryon weak decays: Ξbc0→pK− and Ξcc+→Σc++(2520)K− by Run-Hui Li, Cai-Dian Lü, Wei Wang, Fu-Sheng Yu, Zhi-Tian Zou

“…The branching ratio of Ξcc+→Σc++(2520)K− is related to that of Λc+→Δ++K−, and thereby a conjectured topology analysis leads to the range for the branching ratio as: BR(Ξcc+→Σc++(2520)K−)∈[0.36%,1.80%]. …”

“…In the assessment of the self-awareness ability, these three women were aware themselves of their intellect collapsing and were capable of conjecturing their own and others’ minds. It was commonly seen that the nursing staff, even though they had not been asked to do so by the researchers, told the patients, “Mrs. …”

Thinning, photonic beamsplitting, and a general discrete Entropy power Inequality by Guha, Saikat, Sanchez, Raul Garcia-Patron, Shapiro, Jeffrey H

“…Finally, we show that our conjectured discrete EPI is a special case of the yet-unproven Entropy Photon-number Inequality (EPnI), which assumes a role analogous to Shannon's EPI in capacity proofs for Gaussian bosonic (quantum) channels.…”

Non-response bias in estimates of prevalence of club-based sport participation from an Australian national physical activity, recreation and sport survey by J. T. Harvey, M. J. Charity, N. A. Sawyer, R. M. Eime

“…The effect sizes (i.e. the discrepancies represented by the ratios) were large enough to be of great practical importance. It is conjectured that non-response bias is the most likely explanation for the discrepancies.…”

Bounds for OPE coefficients on the Regge trajectory by Miguel S. Costa, Tobias Hansen, João Penedones

“…These correlation functions are related by a type of Fourier transform to the AdS phase shift of the dual 2-to-2 scattering process. AdS unitarity was conjectured some time ago to be positivity of the imaginary part of this bulk phase shift. …”

Phosducin-like protein PoPlp1 impacts cellulase and amylase expression and development in Penicillium oxalicum via the G protein–cAMP signaling pathway by Zhilei Jia, Mengdi Yan, Xiaobei Li, Qiuyan Sun, Gen Xu, Shuai Li, Wenchao Chen, Zhimin Shi, Zhonghai Li, Mei Chen, Xiaoming Bao

“…Based on detection of the levels of expression of transcription factors involved in asexual development, we conjectured that PoPlp1 is involved in conidiation via the major factor BrlA. …”

Uruguayan tallow characterization by Cecilia Rodríguez, Gabriela Subúru

Conceptual and numerical modeling approach of the Guarani Aquifer System by L. Rodríguez, L. Vives, A. Gomez

“…In large aquifers, relevant for their considerable size, regional groundwater modeling remains challenging given geologic complexity and data scarcity in space and time. Yet, it may be conjectured that regional scale groundwater flow models can help in understanding the flow system functioning and the relative magnitude of water budget components, which are important for aquifer management. …”

Exact rate analysis for quantum repeaters with imperfect memories and entanglement swapping as soon as possible by Lars Kamin, Evgeny Shchukin, Frank Schmidt, Peter van Loock

“…We propose an optimal scheme including channel loss and memory dephasing, proving its optimality for the case of two stations and conjecturing it for the general case. In an even more realistic setting, we consider additional tools and parameters such as memory cutoffs, multiplexing, initial state and swapping gate fidelities, and finite link coupling efficiencies in order to identify potential regimes in memory-assisted quantum key distribution beyond one middle station that exceed the rates of the smallest quantum repeaters as well as those obtainable in all-optical schemes unassisted by stationary memory qubits and two-way classical communication. …”

Nucleotide diversity in the mitochondrial and nuclear compartments of <it>Chlamydomonas reinhardtii</it>: investigating the origins of genome architecture by Lee Robert W, Smith David

“…<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The magnitude of intronic and intergenic DNA can vary substantially both within and among evolutionary lineages; however, the forces responsible for this disparity in genome compactness are conjectural. One explanation, termed the mutational-burden hypothesis, posits that genome compactness is primarily driven by two nonadaptive processes: mutation and random genetic drift – the effects of which can be discerned by measuring the nucleotide diversity at silent sites (π_silent), defined as noncoding sites and the synonymous sites of protein-coding regions. …”

Topological Symmetry Transition between Toroidal and Klein Bottle Graphenic Systems by Mihai V. Putz, Ottorino Ori
