Condensation of Rubisco into a proto-pyrenoid in higher plant chloroplasts
Nature Communications, 2020 Photosynthetic CO2 fixation in plants is limited by the inefficiency of the CO2-assimilating enzyme Rubisco. In most eukaryotic algae, Rubisco aggregates within a microcompartment known as the pyrenoid, in association with a CO2-concentrating mechanism ...

A Tutorial Introduction to Quantum Circuit Programming in Dependently Typed Proto-Quipper [PDF]
International Workshop on Reversible Computation, 2020 We introduce dependently typed Proto-Quipper, or Proto-Quipper-D for short, an experimental quantum circuit programming language with linear dependent types.

Iron isotope evidence for very rapid accretion and differentiation of the proto-Earth
Science Advances, 2019 The iron isotope composition of Earth’s mantle requires planetary growth within 5 Ma of solar system formation. Nucleosynthetic isotope variability among solar system objects provides insights into the accretion history of terrestrial planets.

Allosteric activation of proto-oncogene kinase Src by GPCR–beta-arrestin complexes
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2020 G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) initiate signaling cascades via G-proteins and beta-arrestins (βarr). βarr-dependent actions begin with recruitment of βarr to the phosphorylated receptor tail and are followed by engagement with the receptor core ...

Ab Antiquo: Neural Proto-language Reconstruction [PDF]
North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics, 2019 Historical linguists have identified regularities in the process of historic sound change. The comparative method utilizes those regularities to reconstruct proto-words based on observed forms in daughter languages.

The progeny of a cosmic titan: a massive multi-component proto-supercluster in formation at z = 2.45 in VUDS [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2018 We unveil the complex shape of a proto-supercluster at z ∼ 2.45 in the COSMOS field exploiting the synergy of both spectroscopic and photometric redshifts.

Non-Māori-speaking New Zealanders have a Māori proto-lexicon
Scientific Reports, 2020 We investigate implicit vocabulary learning by adults who are exposed to a language in their ambient environment. Most New Zealanders do not speak Māori, yet are exposed to it throughout their lifetime.

Hot quark matter and (proto-) neutron stars [PDF]
Physical Review C, 2019 In part one of this paper, we use a non-local extension of the 3-flavor Polyakov-Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model, which takes into account flavor-mixing, momentum dependent quark masses, and vector interactions among quarks, to investigate the possible ...

A hierarchical, retinotopic proto-organization of the primate visual system at birth
eLife, 2017 The adult primate visual system comprises a series of hierarchically organized areas. Each cortical area contains a topographic map of visual space, with different areas extracting different kinds of information from the retinal input.

Late Eocene onset of the Proto-Antarctic Circumpolar Current
Scientific Reports, 2019 The formation of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is critical for the evolution of the global climate, but the timing of its onset is not well constrained.
