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. …”

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? …”

Towards a Single Bio-molecule Detector Based on CMOS Nanofluidic Platform by Zikrallah, Ahmed S.

“…We propose the use of CMOS technology to build a proteomic platform with a single biomolecule resolution. A prototype chip has been designed and fabricated using standard foundary process incorporating a new implementation of a Solid State Nanopore (SSN) of size 55nm×162nm×100nm (w×l×h) with nanofluidic access channels that bridge the buffer solution between the assay space in the packaging structure – a poly carbonate/Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) package- and the nanopore on the chip. …”

Quantifying the effects of sunlight on the fate of oil spilled at sea by Freeman, Danielle Haas

“…I found that if a spill like DwH had occurred in 5°C water rather than the exceptionally warm 30°C water of the GoM, 7x less oil could have dissolved via photo-dissolution and the viscosity of the remaining insoluble oil could have been 16x higher, resulting in lower entrainment of oil into the water column as small droplets (Chapter 3). …”

Evaluation and Analysis of Next-Generation FY-4A LPW Products over Various Climatic Regions in China by Zhang, Wenyuan, Xiao, Xinyu, Peng, Jinsong, Zhang, Shubi, Shehaj, Endrit, Moeller, Gregor

“…However, the observational quality and spatiotemporal variations of LPW products across different climate zones, e.g., the diverse climatic regions in China, have not been systematically assessed. In this paper, we aim to evaluate and analyze the climatic and seasonal variations of FY-4A LPW products across five climatic regions in China, contributing to a deeper understanding of water vapor variability and providing valuable data for climate change research. …”
