Hidden Influence in Dynamic Networks by Erhardt, Keeley Donovan

“…These networks consist of nodes (entities) and edges (connections) that dynamically evolve, reflecting changes in relationships, the emergence of new entities, and the dissolution of old links. Unlike static networks, which offer a snapshot of connections at a specific time, dynamic networks allow for modeling processes and system-level changes over time. …”

Site-specific chemical and topological modifications to augment mRNA therapeutic potential by Aditham, Abhishek J.

“…We developed QRNAs, which are circRNAs that possess an unnaturally-linked inverted 7-methylguanosine (m7G) cap. QRNAs substantially outperform conventional circRNAs, given the low translation initiation efficiency of IRES compared to cap-dependent initiation. …”

Continuous treatment of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste in an anaerobic two-stage membrane process with liquid recycle by Trzcinski, A.P., Stuckey, David Campbell

“…The operation was not sustainable below this HRT due to a membrane flux limitation at 0.5–0.8 L/m2 h (LMH), which was linked to the increasing MLTSS. SCOD in the recycled permeate did not build up indicating a slow degradation of recalcitrants over time. …”

Taste and see: real presence as revelation in Heideggerian perspective by Olson, JW

“…Heidegger’s notion of Being-in-the-world opens up a new definition of understanding, where what is primary is praxis in the form of worldly involvement, so that understanding in the form of habits, mood, and know-how becomes foundational for any knowledge of the beings with which we interact. Language is then linked up with this pre-reflective understanding, first as discourse and then later as poetry, both of which disclose a fundamental world-orientation to language.…”
