Structural analyses of the AAA+ ATPase domain of the transcriptional regulator GtrR in the BDSF quorum-sensing system in Burkholderia cenocepacia by Yan, Xin-Fu, Yang, Chunxi, Wang, Mingfang, Yong, Yonlada, Deng, Yinyue, Gao, Yong-Gui

“…As a bacterial enhancer-binding protein (bEBP), GtrR is composed of an N-terminal receiver domain, a central ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities (AAA+) ATPase σ54 -interaction domain, and a C-terminal helix-turn-helix DNA-binding domain. In this work, we solved its AAA+ ATPase domain in both apo and GTP-bound forms. …”

Experimental investigation on the dynamics of an Organic Rankine Cycle evaporator with large-mass fins for the purpose of reducing heat input fluctuations by Jiménez-Arreola, Manuel, Wieland, Christoph, Romagnoli, Alessandro

“…Such a design can help to dampen or reduce some of the variation of the heat source that is transmitted to the ORC system. This, in turn, can allow the ORC system to work in more stable conditions and reduce the need for aggressive control measures or additional heat storage equipment.…”

InvWealthGPT: modern wealth management advice to the masses using generative AI by Tan, Marcus Song Huang

“…Private banking services, where finance-trained institutional bankers provide personal wealth management and investment advice, are usually only available to high-net-worth individuals (e.g., 1 million in assets connected to the bank). Many people then turn to financial advisers to provide them with portfolio management or investment advice. …”

A renewal-equation approach to estimating Rt and infectious disease case counts in the presence of reporting delays by Bajaj, S, Thompson, R, Lambert, B

“…Here, we introduce an <i>R_t</i> estimation method which makes use of the retrospective updates to case time series which happen as more cases that occurred historically enter the health system; these data encode within them information about the reporting delays, which our method also estimates. These estimates, in turn, allow us to estimate the true count of cases occurring most recently allowing up-to-date estimates of <i>R_t</i>. …”
