YY1 binding is a gene-intrinsic barrier to Xist-mediated gene silencing by Bowness, JS, Almeida, M, Nesterova, T, Brockdorff, N

“…We further show that YY1 is evicted relatively slowly from target sites on Xi, and that silencing of X-linked genes is increased upon YY1 degradation. …”

Reconciling founder variant multiplicity of HIV-1 infection with the rate of CD4+ decline by Baxter, J, Villabona-Arenas, J, Thompson, RN, Hue, S, Regoes, R, Kouyos, R, Gunthard, H, Albert, J, Brown, AL, Atkins, K

On tube models of rubber elasticity: fitting performance in relation to sensitivity to the invariant I2 by Kumar, G, Brassart, L

“…The performance of various tube formulations is analysed in relation to their implicit (or in some cases explicit) dependence on the second invariant I₂. We show that micromechanical models that involve the area-stretch of the macroscale continuum lead to I₂ dependence when combined with the full-network averaging scheme, whereas micromechanical models that only involve the line-stretch of the continuum show much weaker I₂ sensitivity. …”

What is that I hear? An interdisciplinary review and research agenda for non‐native accents in the workplace by Hideg, I, Shen, W, Hancock, S

“…Second, we organize and integrate extant research findings using a 2 × 2 framework that incorporates the two main theoretical perspectives used to explain the effects of accents—stereotypes and processing fluency—and the two primary categories of workplace outcomes examined—interpersonal (i.e., others' evaluations of speakers with non-native accents, such as hiring recommendations) and intrapersonal (i.e., non-native-accented speakers' own evaluations and experiences, such as sense of belonging). …”
