FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The physical dimensions and shape of bacterial cells define the surface area available to acquire nutrients and the volume available for synthesizing proteins and DNA. Here, we use computational systems biology to decode the importance of cell geometry as a major determinant of prokaryotic phenotype, including growth rate and metabolic efficiency. This

Time arrow without past hypothesis: a toy model explanation
New Journal of PhysicsThe laws of Physics are time-reversible, making no qualitative distinction between the past and the future—yet we can only go towards the future. This apparent contradiction is known as the ‘arrow of time problem’.

On the Structural Distinction Between Entropy and Time in Dynamical Theories
PhilosophiesThe relation between entropy and time is central to debates on thermodynamic irreversibility and the arrow of time. This paper clarifies that relation by distinguishing several roles often associated with entropy in such debates: temporal ordering ...

Scan path entropy and Arrow plots: Capturing scanning behavior of multiple observers
Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 Designers of visual communication material want their material to attract and retain attention. In marketing research, heat maps, dwell time, and time to AOI first hit are often used as evaluation parameters.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Thermodynamics of the $$R_{\mathrm{h}}=ct$$ R h = c t Universe: a simplification of cosmic entropy
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2021 In the standard model of cosmology, the Universe began its expansion with an anomalously low entropy, which then grew dramatically to much larger values consistent with the physical conditions at decoupling, roughly 380,000 years after the Big Bang ...

Arrow of time: Metaphorical construals of entropy and the second law of thermodynamics
Science Education, 2012 AbstractVarious features of scientific discourse have been characterized in the science education literature, and challenges students face in appropriating these features have been explored. Using the framework of conceptual metaphor, this paper sought to identify explicit and implicit metaphors in pedagogical texts dealing with the concept of entropy ...

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Does time exist in quantum gravity?
Zagadnienia Filozoficzne w Nauce, 2015 Time is absolute in standard quantum theory and dynamical in general relativity. The combination of both theories into a theory of quantum gravity leads therefore to a “problem of time”.
