The Temperature Dependence of Hydrogen Bonds Is More Uniform in Stable Proteins: An Analysis of NMR h3JNC′ Couplings in Four Different Protein Structures by Alexandrescu, Andrei T., Dregni, Aurelio J.

“…With increasing temperature, hydrogen bonds typically show an apparent increase in length that has been attributed to protein thermal expansion. Some hydrogen bonds are invariant with temperature, however, while others show apparent decreases in length, suggesting they become stabilized with increasing temperature. …”

Quantum Speed-ups for String Synchronizing Sets, Longest Common Substring, and \(k\) -mismatch Matching by Jin, Ce, Nogler, Jakob

“…Longest Common Substring (LCS) is an important text processing problem, which has recently been investigated in the quantum query model. The decisional version of this problem, LCS with threshold $d$, asks whether two length-$n$ input strings have a common substring of length $d$. …”

Ecological forces affecting microbial eukaryotes in the coastal ocean by Gomez, Annika L.

“…In the first study, I leverage the 93-day Nahant Time Series to examine the dynamics and ecology of viruses infecting marine protists, the majority of which have only been identified by culture-independent means. This study focuses on Nucleocytoviricota, a diverse group of eukaryote-infecting dsDNA viruses with known potential to influence host metabolism and nutrient cycling. …”

Staphylococci of the Skin: Consequences for Host Health by Khadka, Veda D.

“…When the skin barrier is disrupted – either by daily stressors or genetic factors – the composition of the microbiome abruptly shifts to a less diverse state with an abundance of Staphylococci. Staphylococci have been shown to be important modulators of the host immune response and can improve host barrier repair from damage by wounding or parasitic infection during health. …”

Modeling spatial mapping, memory and their underlying mechanisms in the hippocampal complex by Sharma, Sugandha

“…In particular, it has been difficult to understand what makes human spatial representations generalizable enabling few-shot learning of maps of novel spaces, how humans store the vast amount of spatial information (maps) experienced through their lifetimes, and what is the connection between spatial memory and episodic memory in the brain, and why is it significant? …”
