From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

On extremum properties of orthogonal quotients matrices [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In this paper we explore the extremum properties of orthogonal quotients matrices. The orthogonal quotients equality that we prove expresses the Frobenius norm of a difference between two matrices as a difference between the norms of two matrices.

An extremum principle for the analysis and design of constitutively nonlinear systems.

open access: yes, 1994
The actual nonlinear constitutive character of most elastic materials is often approximated in engineering analysis by a linear relation-generalized Hooke's law. This approximation may introduce significant error into an analysis problem.

Improved Particle Swarm Optimization Geomagnetic Matching Algorithm Based on Simulated Annealing

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
As a new assistant navigation technology using geophysical field for navigation, geomagnetic matching navigation can effectively alleviate the problems such as the unavailability of satellite and the easy divergence of position data of inertial ...

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

Illustration of the extremum principle.

open access: yes, 2019
The extremum principle states that the dimensionality of the solution space is determined by the number of enzyme-expression constraints, rather than by the dimensionality of the metabolic network.

On the connection between optimality conditions, variational inequalities and equilibrium problems

open access: yesLe Matematiche, 1994
In this note we underline, once more, the relationships between necessary optimality conditions for constrained extremum problems and the variational inequalities in finite dimension spaces.

The number of active metabolic pathways is bounded by the number of cellular constraints at maximal metabolic rates.

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2019
Growth rate is a near-universal selective pressure across microbial species. High growth rates require hundreds of metabolic enzymes, each with different nonlinear kinetics, to be precisely tuned within the bounds set by physicochemical constraints. Yet,

The absolute stabilization and optimal control of hydrofoil watercrafts [PDF]

open access: yesINCAS Bulletin, 2018
Hydrofoil watercrafts have a technology through which immersed wings are mounted under the hull. In the longitudinal movement case, these transversal wings are developing a carrying capacity which lifts the ship, thus decreasing the wet surface.

A novel quinazolinone insulin receptor inhibitor and its synergy with an EGFR inhibitor in glucose‐driven glioblastoma

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The novel styrylquinazolinone‐based molecule W1B effectively suppresses glioblastoma by inhibiting IGF1R and EGFR. In high‐glucose microenvironments driving tumor resistance, W1B acts synergistically with the EGFR inhibitor dacomitinib. This combination safely blocks compensatory survival signaling in zebrafish xenograft models. Showcasing promising in
