Dynamic network analysis of electrophysiological task data by Gohill, C, Kohl, O, Huang, R, van Es, MWJ, Jones, OP, Hunt, LT, Quinn, AJ, Woolrich, MW

“…While this simple approach can reveal fast oscillatory dynamics, the brain regions are analysed one at a time. This causes difficulties for interpretation and a debilitating number of multiple comparisons. …”

Bacterial phylogenetic reconstruction from whole genomes is robust to recombination but demographic inference is not by Hedge, J, Wilson, DJ

“…However, bacteria frequently exchange regions of their genomes by a process called homologous recombination, which violates a fundamental assumption of phylogenetic methods. …”

Long-term mindfulness meditation increases occurrence of sensory and attention brain states by Panitz, DY, Mendelsohn, A, Cabral, J, Berkovich-Ohana, A

“…Our analysis revealed that meditators tend to spend more time in two brain states that involve synchrony among cortical regions associated with sensory perception. Conversely, a brain state involving frontal areas associated with higher cognitive functions was detected less frequently in experienced meditators. …”

A dynamical analysis of the alignment mechanism between two interacting cells by Leech, V, Dalwadi, M, Manhart, A

“…We find that a separatrix splits the state space into two regions, which characterise these two different outcomes. …”

Structural dynamics of the ubiquitin specific protease UPS30 in complex with a cyanopyrrolidine-containing covalent inhibitor by O’Brien, DP, Jones, HBL, Shi, Y, Guenther, F, Vendrell, I, Viner, R, Brennan, PE, Mead, E, Zarganes-Tzitzikas, T, Davis, JB, Pinto-Fernández, A, England, KS, Murphy, EJ, Turnbull, AP, Kessler, BM

“…Enzyme kinetics and Hydrogen Deuterium eXchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) infers that the inhibitor binds tightly to regions surrounding the USP30 catalytic cysteine and positions itself to form a binding pocket along the thumb and palm domains of the protein, thereby interfering its interaction with ubiquitin substrates. …”

Computational modeling of angiogenesis: the importance of cell rearrangements during vascular growth by Stepanova, D, Byrne, HM, Maini, PK, Alarcón, T

“…This framework assumes that leading ECs positioned at sprout tips migrate toward low-oxygen regions while other ECs in the sprout passively follow the leaders' trails and proliferate to maintain sprout integrity. …”

Selection against domestication alleles in introduced rabbit populations by Andrade, P, Alves, JM, Pereira, P, Rubin, C-J, Silva, E, Sprehn, CG, Enbody, E, Afonso, S, Faria, R, Zhang, Y, Bonino, N, Duckworth, JA, Garreau, H, Letnic, M, Strive, T, Thulin, C-G, Queney, G, Villafuerte, R, Jiggins, FM, Ferrand, N, Andersson, L, Carneiro, M

“…Whereas natural selection largely targeted different genomic regions in each introduced population, some of the strongest signals of parallelism overlap genes associated with neuronal or brain function. …”

Perspectives of New York State residents on deer management, hunting, and predator reintroduction by Blossey, B, Brice, L, Dalaba, J, Hare, D

“…Respondents who identified as animal protectionists were least accepting. Restoring regionally extirpated wolves and cougars had limited acceptance (< 30%) but was strongest among those who identified as hunters or conservationists. …”

Observations of Double Diffusive Staircase Edges in the Arctic Ocean by Boury, S., Supekar, R., Fine, E. C., Musgrave, R., Mickett, J. B., Voet, G., Odier, P., Peacock, T., MacKinnon, J. A., Alford, M. H.

“…At smaller scales, the mooring data indicate that, in the 300–400 m depth interval, regions of layers abruptly appear. This laterally sharp (of the order of 100 m) interface is advected southwards, as shown by the shallow water integrated mapping system survey conducted nearby. …”

Intercity connectivity and urban innovation by Liang, Xiaofan, Hidalgo, César A, Balland, Pierre-Alexandre, Zheng, Siqi, Wang, Jianghao

“…This divergence suggests distinct urban network dynamics driving innovation in these regions. In China, models with social media and mobility networks explain more heterogeneity in the scaling of innovation, whereas in the United States, scientific collaboration plays a more significant role. …”

Wet-air co-electrolysis in high-temperature solid oxide electrolysis cell for production of ammonia feedstock by Liu, Qinglin, Su, Pei-Chen, Chan, Siew Hwa

“…The current-voltage responses measured for wet air co-electrolysis were featured with three different regions which could be attributed to competitive and combinative effects of oxygen splitting reaction and water splitting reaction under wet air co-electrolysis operation. …”

Tropical savanna conversion to exotic pastures negatively affects taxonomic and functional diversity of dung beetle assemblages, but not dung removal by Maciel, Rafaella, Braga, Rodrigo Fagundes, Carvalho, Raquel L. L., Louzada, Julio, Slade, Eleanor M.

“…The replacement of natural systems with agricultural lands is the main factor resulting in land use change in tropical regions. Tropical savannas cover more than 20% of the global land surface, and one-fifth of the world's population depends directly on these systems. 2. …”
