Molecular Microbiology, Volume 120, Issue 1, Page 8-19, July 2023., 2023 Bacteria are rather simple forms of life. However, despite extensive research, many functions of many potentially important proteins have yet to be elucidated even in the model organism Bacillus subtilis. We present a workflow for characterizing unknown genes and proteins, from the initial generation of minimal information to functional identification.

Functional Ecology, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 1033-1043, April 2023., 2023 Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Vulnerability to warming is often assessed using short‐term metrics such as the critical thermal maximum (CTMAX), which represents an organism's ability to survive extreme heat. However, the long‐term effects of sub‐lethal warming are an essential link to fitness in the

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series C (Applied Statistics), Volume 71, Issue 3, Page 739-769, June 2022., 2022 Abstract Detailed knowledge on the effects of air pollutants on human health is a prerequisite for the development of effective policies to reduce the adverse impact of ambient air pollution. However, measuring the effect of exposure on health outcomes is an extremely difficult task as the health impact of air pollution is known to vary over space and ...

Dark energy as an elastic strain fluid [PDF]
, 2012 The origin of the accelerated expansion of the universe is still unclear and new physics is needed on cosmological scales. We propose and test a novel interpretation of dark energy as originated by an elastic strain due to a cosmic defect in an otherwise
