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

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. …”

Are the innovation processes in seaport terminal operations successful? by Acciaro, Michele, Ferrari, Claudio, Lam, Jasmine Siu Lee, Macario, Rosario, Roumboutsos, Athena, Sys, Christa, Tei, Alessio, Vanelslander, Thierry

“…The present article aims at filling this gap through a field analysis grouping together case studies developed in different world regions and examining the adoption path of innovation through a mix of three different techniques (i.e. the H- and I-indexes, a Systems of Innovation Analysis, and a Qualitative Comparative Analysis). …”

Microglia and CD206⁺ border-associated mouse macrophages maintain their embryonic origin during Alzheimer's disease by Wu, Xiaoting, Saito, Takashi, Saido, Takaomi C., Barron, Anna M., Ruedl, Christiane

“…At the border-associated brain regions, bona fide CD206+ BAMs are minimally replaced by BM-derived cells, and their turnover rates are not accelerated by AD. …”

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. …”

Spatial context-aware object-attentional network for multi-label image classification by Zhang, Jialu, Ren, Jianfeng, Zhang, Qian, Liu, Jiang, Jiang, Xudong

“…The first branch is designed to extract the discriminant information from regions of interest to detect target objects. In the second branch, a spatial context-aware approach is proposed to better capture the contextual information of an object in its surroundings by using an adaptive patch expansion mechanism. …”

Effect of partial debonding on catenary action of reinforced concrete frames by Yu, Jun, Tan, Kang Hai

“…To release the strain concentration of bars at the joint interfaces and to increase rotation capacities of beam-column connections, detailing of the second frame was designed by debonding the bottom bars in the joint regions with plastic sleeves. Test results on the specimen with conventional detailing show that catenary action could be successfully mobilized but failed to significantly increase structural resistance due to excessively premature fracture of top bars at the side joint interfaces. …”
