Towards a New Dynamic Measure of Competitive Balance: A Study Applied to Australia’s Two Major Professional ‘Football’ Leagues* [PDF]

A new measure for competitive balance between seasons is proposed, which takes the form of a mobility gain function, based on each team’s win ratios from the current and previous seasons.

Parameters of dynamic balance in the frontal and sagittal plane and their correlations with poor postures in children aged 10–12 from the Masłów district in Świętokrzyskie province

, 2013
Introduction: Even postural asymmetry may provoke static and balance disorders. Aim of the research: To define the level of dynamic balance among children aged 10–12 and find the correlations between poor postures.

Changes in gait performances during walking with head movements in older adults with chronic neck pain

Frontiers in Medicine
BackgroundChronic neck pain (CNP) can lead to altered gait which is worse when combined with head movement. Gait parameters for indicating speed and symmetry have not been thoroughly investigated in older adults with CNP. This study aimed to compare gait

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Partial depletion of plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 decreases subcutaneous fat cell hypertrophy and liver cholesterol in high‐fat‐fed female mice

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Obesity raises blood levels of PAI‐1, a protein linked to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease in people with obesity. In female mice fed a high‐fat diet, partially lowering PAI‐1 led to smaller subcutaneous fat cells and lower liver cholesterol, without changing body weight or insulin sensitivity.

Heider Balance—A Continuous Dynamics

Entropy
This paper is a short review on applications of non-linear dynamics in the concept of Heider balance, known also as structural balance. In all the papers listed here, the basic tools are ordinary differential equations. All papers pay attention to real social phenomena, which play the role of illustrations of the mathematical formalisms.

Emerging experimental and computational methods for studying redox‐regulated structural transitions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Redox reactions can reshape proteins and alter how they behave in cells, with important consequences for health and disease. This review explores emerging experimental and computational approaches for discovering these redox‐sensitive protein switches, revealing their structural effects, and predicting their behavior, opening new opportunities to ...
