A random-key genetic algorithm-based method for transportation network vulnerability envelope analysis under simultaneous multi-link disruptions by Gu, Y, Ryu, S, Xu, Y, Chen, A, Chan, H-Y, Xu, X

“…This study aims to develop an efficient method based on the random key genetic algorithm (RKGA) for determining the TNVE under simultaneous multi-link disruptions. The main features and benefits of the proposed method include: (a) it simultaneously solves the upper- and lower-bound problems at the same time while guaranteeing the feasibility of all solutions in the solution procedure; (b) it improves the computational efficiency to ensure the applicability to real transportation networks; and (c) it can provide a variety of alternative solutions in addition to the single optimal one, which facilitates the derivation of TNVE buffer and identification of sub-important links. …”

The geomorphic work of the European mole (Talpa europaea): long-term monitoring of molehills using structure-from-motion photogrammetry by Baxter, T, Woor, S, Coombes, M, Viles, H

“…Furthermore, little is known about how molehills develop and degrade over time, or how long they persist as landscape features.</p> <p>By examining molehills created by the European mole (<em>Talpa europaea</em>) over four months on a floodplain in Oxfordshire, UK, we provide a quantitative assessment of how these landforms evolve over time and space. …”

The Architectural Layout of Long-Term Care Units: Relationships between Support for Residents’ Well-Being and for Caregivers’ Burnout and Resilience by Rom, Yifat, Morag, Ido, Palgi, Yuval, Isaacson, Michal

“…Layouts supporting social well-being showed inconsistent correlations with caregivers&rsquo; resilience indexes in dementia units, and with burnout and resilience indexes in regular nursing units. The findings underscore the role of the architectural layout of long-term care units in enhancing residents&rsquo; well-being; the results also highlight the possible unintentional yet negative impact of the layout on the caregivers&rsquo; burnout and resilience. …”

Year-Long Stability of Nucleic Acid Bases in Concentrated Sulfuric Acid: Implications for the Persistence of Organic Chemistry in Venus’ Clouds by Seager, Sara, Petkowski, Janusz J., Seager, Maxwell D., Grimes, John H., Zinsli, Zachary, Vollmer-Snarr, Heidi R., Abd El-Rahman, Mohamed K., Wishart, David S., Lee, Brian L., Gautam, Vasuk, Herrington, Lauren, Bains, William, Darrow, Charles

“…This work builds on our initial stability studies and is the first ever to test the reactivity and structural integrity of organic molecules subjected to extended incubation in concentrated sulfuric acid. The one-year-long stability of nucleic acid bases supports the notion that the Venus cloud environment&mdash;composed of concentrated sulfuric acid&mdash;may be able to support complex organic chemicals for extended periods of time.…”

Chronic oxidative stress promotes GADD34-mediated phosphorylation of the TAR DNA-binding protein TDP-43, a modification linked to neurodegeneration by Goh, Catherine Wenhui, Lee, Irene Chengjie, Sundaram, Jeyapriya Rajameenakshi, George, Simi Elizabeth, Yusoff, Permeen, Brush, Matthew Hayden, Sze, Newman Siu Kwan, Shenolikar, Shirish

“…Concomitant with TDP-43 aggregation and proteolysis after prolonged arsenite exposure, GADD34-bound CK1ϵ catalyzed TDP-43 phosphorylations at serines 409/410, which were diminished or absent in GADD34−/− cells. Our findings highlight that the phosphatase regulator, GADD34, also functions as a kinase scaffold in response to chronic oxidative stress and recruits CK1ϵ and oxidized TDP-43 to facilitate its phosphorylation, as seen in TDP-43 proteinopathies.…”
