One-dimensional wave equations defined by fractal Laplacians [PDF]

, 2014
We study one-dimensional wave equations defined by a class of fractal Laplacians. These Laplacians are defined by fractal measures generated by iterated function systems with overlaps, such as the well-known infinite Bernoulli convolution associated with

Effect of Social Rank on Gut Microbes and Their Metabolites of Greater Long‐Tailed Hamsters (Tscherskia triton)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Social rank in greater long‐tailed hamsters (Tscherskia triton) shapes gut microbiota composition and metabolite profiles. Dominant males exhibit a “high‐vigilance, metabolically activated” phenotype, with elevated aggression and specific gut microbiota enriched in energy‐harvesting taxa and fecal queuine.

The use of deidentified organ donor testes for research

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Our knowledge of testis development and function mainly comes from research using mammalian model organisms, primarily the mouse. However, there are integral differences between men and other mammalian species regarding cellular composition and expression profiles during fetal and post‐natal testis development and in the mature testis ...

Adapting to Change: The Dynamic Crop Production Systems of Smallholder Farmers in the PNG Highlands

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Smallholder sweet potato farmers in Papua New Guinea's Eastern Highlands Province (EHP) face challenges as they navigate social, economic, demographic, and environmental change. While they routinely adapt to weather variability and shifting markets, population growth is placing additional strain on an already finely balanced farming system ...

Leveraging paired germline and somatic analysis to improve the classification of DDX41 variants

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Summary Constitutional pathogenic variants in DDX41 predispose to myelodysplasia and acute myeloid leukaemia. Acquisition of subsequent somatic hits in the second allele is frequent, with notable recurrent variants at key hotspots. Sequencing of Deoxyribonucleic acid from blood/marrow of 239 patients with suspected/confirmed haematological malignancies

TNF‐α partially modulates the endothelial dysfunction during the acute phase of Trypanosoma cruzi infection

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Whereas the effects of Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) infection are well‐characterised in the heart, its impact on the vasculature has received little attention. In this study, we investigated the effects of acute and chronic T. cruzi infection on vascular responsiveness and the underlying mechanisms.

Covalent drug discovery: Progress against key targets, emerging strategies and lessons learnt

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Covalent drug discovery is currently experiencing a boom in industrial and academic interest. To date, at least 75 covalent drugs have received regulatory approval, targeting both traditional target classes and more challenging proteins for which other approaches failed. In many cases, unique aspects of covalent targeting are essential for the
