Distributed algorithms for computing a fixed point of multi-agent nonexpansive operators by Li, Xiuxian, Xie, Lihua

“…Each local operator is only privately accessible to each agent, and all agents constitute a network. To seek a fixed point of the global operator, it is indispensable for agents to exchange local information and update their solution cooperatively. …”

Intraday adaptation to extreme temperatures in outdoor activity by Fan, Yichun, Wang, Jianghao, Obradovich, Nick, Zheng, Siqi

“…Combining empirical estimates with outputs from downscaled climate models, we show that unmitigated climate change will generate sizable activity-depressing and activity-delaying effects in summer when projected on an hourly resolution. Our findings call for more attention in leveraging real-time activity data to understand intraday adaptation behaviors and their associated health consequences in climate change research.…”

Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-Bisphosphate Is an HCV NS5A Ligand and Mediates Replication of the Viral Genome by Cho, Nam-Joon, Lee, Choongho, Pang, Phillip S., Pham, Edward A., Fram, Benjamin, Nguyen, Khanh, Xiong, Anming, Sklan, Ella H., Elazar, Menashe, Koytak, Elif S., Kersten, Caroline, Kanazawa, Kay K., Frank, Curtis W., Glenn, Jeffrey S.

“…A pair of positively charged residues within the amphipathic helix (the basic amino acid PI(4,5)P2 pincer domain) was required for PI(4,5)P2 binding and replication of the HCV-RNA genome. A similar motif was found to be conserved across all HCV isolates, as well as amphipathic helices of many pathogens and apolipoproteins. …”
