Investigating the Applicability of the Peak Density Thickness Parameter over the Equatorial Region by Shammat, Mohamed O., Reinisch, Bodo W., Galkin, Ivan, Erickson, Philip J., Weitzen, Jay A., Rideout, William C.

“…A comprehensive analysis of electron density profiles measured by the Jicamarca ISR, spanning 1997 to 2020, was conducted using the Madrigal database to extract the PDT parameter for the F2 layer. Findings from the Jicamarca ISR indicate that the PDT parameter peaks around solar noon, aligning with observations from Millstone Hill. …”

The role of p53 and ASPP2 in neurodegenerative disease by Turnquist, C

“…We demonstrate that Δ133p53 and p53β directly regulate astrocyte senescence, including the release of key neurotoxic proL inflammatory cytokines such as ILL6 and ILL1β. Also, we show that the p53 isoform switch that occurs during aging and neurodegeneration promotes neuronal toxicity using coL culture experiments with human iPSC-derived motor neurons and human astrocytes. …”

𝜆ₛ: computable semantics for differentiable programming with higher-order functions and datatypes by Sherman, Benjamin, Michel, Jesse, Carbin, Michael

Parameterization of nice polynomials by Anton, Hozjee

“…A univariable polynomial p(x) is said to be nice if all of its coefficients as well as all of the roots of both p(x) and its derivative p0(x) are integers. p(x) is called Q-nice polynomial if the coefficients, roots, and critical points are rational numbers. …”
