Reduced genetic diversity and the success of the invasive peacock bass (Cichliformes: Cichlidae)

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2021
Several species of Cichla successfully colonized lakes and reservoirs of Brazil, since the 1960’s, causing serious damage to local wildlife. In this study, 135 peacock bass were collected in a reservoir complex in order to identify if they represented a ...

Prospecting the protein design landscape

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review outlines the current state of various protein design approaches. We discuss the current possibilities enabled by recently released tools, highlight future avenues to pursue in protein design, and underscore the crucial role of key databases and resources for successful protein design workflows.

Removing the performance bottleneck of pressure–temperature flash calculations during both the online and offline stages by using physics-informed neural networks

, 2023
Pressure–temperature (PT) flash calculations are a performance bottleneck of compositional-flow simulations. With the sparse grid surrogate, the computing burden of PT flash calculations is shifted from the online stage to the offline stage of the ...

Coordinator MPC for maximizing plant throughput [PDF]

Modeling, Identification and Control, 2008
In many cases economic optimal operation is the same as maximum plant throughput, which is the same as maximum flow through the bottleneck(s). This insight may greatly simplify implementation. In this paper, we consider the case where the bottlenecks may

The ubiquitin system in normal and infected germinal center B cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The ubiquitin system plays a central role in germinal center (GC) B cells, influencing differentiation to long‐lived memory B cells. Oncogenic gammaherpesviruses gain access to memory B cells by establishing latency in GC B cells. Mapping ubiquitin mechanisms in normal and infected GC B cells will define specific molecular circuits in B cells germane ...

Traces of Human-Mediated Selection in the Gene Pool of Red Deer Populations

Animals, 2023
In this study, we analysed the effect of human-mediated selection on the gene pool of wild and farmed red deer populations based on genotyping-by-sequencing data.

Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...

A Microscopic Traffic Model to Investigate the Effect of Connected Autonomous Vehicles at Bottlenecks and the Impact of Cyberattacks

Applied Sciences
Bottlenecks reduce both traffic safety and efficiency, resulting in congestion and collisions. The introduction of connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs) has had a significant impact on road networks and can improve traffic efficiency at bottlenecks.
