“…Strikingly, these replicas are absent in non-superconducting twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) systems, either when MATBG is aligned to hexagonal boron nitride or when TBG deviates from the magic angle. …”

Fragmenstein: predicting protein–ligand structures of compounds derived from known crystallographic fragment hits using a strict conserved-binding–based methodology by Ferla, MP, Sánchez-García, R, Skyner, RE, Gahbauer, S, Taylor, JC, von Delft, F, Marsden, BD, Deane, CM

“…This approach works under the assumption of conserved binding: when a larger molecule is designed containing the initial fragment hit, the common substructure between the two will adopt the same binding mode. …”

The computational complexity of finding stationary points in non-convex optimization by Hollender, A, Zampetakis, M

“…Nevertheless, the computational and query complexity of this problem are still not well understood when the dimension d of the problem is independent of the approximation error. …”

Investigating factors contributing to enhancer-promoter interaction by Cornell, LJ

“…This assay also revealed the unexpected importance of gene orientation relative to their enhancers, such that maximum enhancer-induced activation is achieved when the genes are in their native orientation, whilst in the reverse orientation transcription is impeded. …”

Professionals’ views on providing personalized recurrence risks for de novo mutations: implications for genetic counseling by Kay, A, Wells, J, Hallowell, N, Goriely, A

“…When an apparent de novo (new) genetic change has been identified as the cause of a serious genetic condition in a child, many couples would like to know the risk of this happening again in a future pregnancy. …”

Environmental conditions affecting global mesoscale convective system occurrence by Muetzelfeldt, MR, Plant, RS, Christensen, HM, Zhang, Z, Woollings, T, Feng, Z, Li, P

“…First, we investigate the environments when an MCS has occurred at different spatial scales before and after MCS formation. …”

The influence of tropical cyclones on mixed-population flood frequency analysis by Wang, L, Gu, X, Slater, LJ, Li, J, Lai, Y, Zhang, X, Dai, J, Chen, Y

“…In regions affected by TCs, the flood magnitude with an n-yr return period is greater when estimated from TC-induced floods only. Therefore, regions (especially inland regions) should thoroughly consider the extremity of TC-induced flooding when improving hydraulic infrastructures to ensure a more conservative design, thereby enhancing the safety of these hydraulic projects.…”

Assessing serial recall as a measure of artificial grammar learning by Jenkins, HE, de Graaf, Y, Smith, F, Riches, N, Wilson, B

“…Previous research has shown that when sequences of phonemes can be chunked into ‘words’, participants are better able to recall these sequences than random ones. …”

Communication in the workplace: request mitigations in Instant Messaging (IM) among native Malay speakers by Petani Mohd Noor, Marlyna Maros, Kesumawati Abu Bakar, Normalis Amzah

Effect of pH on phosphorylation of sago starch by Muhammad, K., Hussin, F., Man, Y.C., Ghazali, H.M.

“…In the reactions using a mixture of STPP and STMP, the P content decreased from 0.320 to 0.115% when a similar range of pH was employed. At the reaction pH of 9, a starch phosphate obtained using STPP exhibited low hot paste viscosity but high cold paste viscosity and shear stability when cooked at 95 °C. …”
