United we stand? Organizational groups and spinoff mortality in the context of academic entrepreneurship by Gotsopoulos, Aleksios, Pitsakis, Konstantinos

“…We contribute to literature on academic entrepreneurship showing that, for most universities, spinoff portfolio growth can lower associated spinoffs' failure rates, but that such effects need to be juxtaposed to the aggregate population's finite capacity to support an expanding number of spinoffs.…”

Single point mutations in ATP synthase compensate for mitochondrial genome loss in trypanosomes by Dean, S, Gould, MK, Dewar, CE, Schnaufer, AC

“…Our results provide insight into the molecular mechanism of compensation for kDNA loss by showing FO-independent generation of the mitochondrial membrane potential with increased dependence on the ADP/ATP carrier. …”

A comparison of methods for forecasting value at risk and expected shortfall of cryptocurrencies by Trucíos, C, Taylor, JW

“…Our results, based on a comprehensive backtesting exercise, reveal that, for Bitcoin, there is no single procedure outperforming all other models, but for Ethereum, there is evidence showing that the GAS model is a suitable alternative for forecasting both risk measures. …”

A surface transporter family conveys the trypanosome differentiation signal by Dean, S, Marchetti, R, Kirk, K, Matthews, KR

“…Consistent with predictions for the response of trypanosomes to CCA, PAD proteins are expressed on the surface of the transmission-competent ‘stumpy-form’ parasites in the bloodstream, and at least one member is thermoregulated, showing elevated expression and surface access at low temperature. …”

Structural changes in the silver-carbon composite anode interlayer of solid-state batteries by Spencer-Jolly, D, Agarwal, V, Doerrer, C, Hu, B, Zhang, S, Melvin, DLR, Gao, H, Gao, X, Adamson, P, Magdysyuk, OV, Grant, PS, House, RA, Bruce, PG

“…Here, we report structural changes in the Ag-graphite interlayer, showing that on charge, Li intercalates electrochemically into graphite, subsequently reacting chemically with Ag to form Li-Ag alloys. …”

Interventionally consistent surrogates for complex simulation models by Dyer, J, Bishop, N, Felekis, Y, Zennaro, FM, Calinescu, A, Damoulas, T, Wooldridge, M

“…We provide theoretical results showing that our proposed approach induces surrogates to behave consistently with high probability with respect to the simulator across interventions of interest, facilitating rapid experimentation with policy interventions in complex systems. …”

Analysis of lava flow impacts for use in risk assessments by Meredith, Elinor Siwan

“…This suggests that structure typology is important, with concrete and cylindrical structures showing resistance to thin flows. I show that damage extended beyond the flow channel in breakout flows and overflows, and extended up 600 m away from the lava flow margin due to the fire spread at Kīlauea, extending potential impact beyond the modelled channel footprint. …”
