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

FEBS 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 ...

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

FEBS 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 ...

Monitoring Wildfire Risk with a Near-Real-Time Live Fuel Moisture Content System: A Review and Roadmap for Operational Application in New Zealand

Remote Sensing
Live fuel moisture content (LFMC) is a critical variable influencing wildfire behavior, ignition potential, and suppression difficulty, yet it remains challenging to monitor consistently across landscapes due to sparse field observations, rapid temporal ...

Approaches to simulate destruction of a fuel rod with different fuel types

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2020
Abstract Due to the revival of interest to the development of fast reactors cooled by liquid metals, the theoretical research for improving their safety is actual. A detailed calculation of all stages of an accident from the beginning to the end requires knowledge of the laws for modelling physical processes occurring in the reactor in ...

Design of experiment study of the parameters that affect performance of three flow plate configurations of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell [PDF]

, 2010
Low temperature hydrogen fuel cells are electrochemical devices which offer a promising alternative to traditional power sources. Fuel cells produce electricity with a reaction of the fuel (hydrogen) and air. Fuel cells have the advantage of being clean;

Preliminary assessment of hazelnut shell biomass as a raw material for pellet production

, 2023
We evaluated the use of hazelnut shell (HS) for pellet production. The investigation of chemical properties, such as the calorific value, low ash, nitrogen, sulfur and chlorine content as well as low heavy metal contents, reveals that the proposed ...
