Antifungal efficacy of kenaf seed peptides mixture in cheese, safety assessment and unravelling its action mechanism against food spoilage fungi by Arulrajah, Brisha, Qoms, Mohammed S., Muhialdin, Belal J., Zarei, Mohammad, Hussin, Anis Shobirin Meor, Hasan, Hanan, Chau, De-Ming, Ramasamy, Rajesh, Saari, Nazamid

“…The safety assessment showed that KSPM maintained the proliferation of normal cell lines up to 30 mg/mL. The cell surface potential energy and hydrophobicity of fungi were altered due to the potent interactions between the peptides and the cell envelope, with KSPM causing significant fungal cell wall permeability and subsequent disruption of the cytoplasmic membrane integrity. …”

Ritual speech, performativity, and modality by Frangulov, AM

“…The incorporation of historical data from the ritual corpora of the Rigveda and Hittite ritual tablets, has not only enriched the quality of analysis through quantitative analysis, but it also provided catalysts for many of the discussions raised and many future lines of inquiry. In the examination of the facts of performativity in ritual speech, this thesis has shown that formal semantic consideration of this type of data can reveal many insights into performative speech as a whole. …”

Src family kinase expression and subcellular localization in macrophages: implications for their role in CSF‐1‐induced macrophage migration by Dwyer, AR, Mouchemore, KA, Steer, JH, Sunderland, AJ, Sampaio, N, Greenland, EL, Joyce, DA, Pixley, FJ

“…We report a comprehensive analysis of individual Src family kinase expression in macrophage cell lines and primary macrophages and demonstrate colony‐stimulating factor‐1–induced changes in Src family kinase subcellular localization, which provides clues to their distinct and redundant functions in macrophages. …”

Causal Machine Learning to Discover Biochemical Determinants of Physical Fitness by Nawaz, Hesham

“…Identifying the key pathways relevant to cardiorespiratory fitness is of great importance for both predicting exercise responsiveness and potentially finding which interventions are likely to affect it. While contemporary deep learning models have demonstrated great success in pattern recognition and generation for various data modalities, their ability to decipher the causal mechanisms underlying these patterns is limited. …”

Carbene-catalyzed enantioselective oxidative coupling of enals and di(hetero)arylmethanes by Chen, Qiao, Zhu, Tingshun, Majhi, Pankaj Kumar, Mou, Chengli, Chai, Huifang, Zhang, Jingjie, Zhuo, Shitian, Chi, Robin Yonggui

“…To date, it remains challenging to functionalize the diaryl methyl sp3 carbon–hydrogen bond directly in an enantioselective manner. This is likely due to the relatively inert nature of the carbon–hydrogen bond and the difficult enantiofacial discrimination of two sterically similar aryl substituents. …”
