Do calcium channel blockers applied to cardiomyocytes cause increased channel expression resulting in reduced efficacy?

npj Systems Biology and Applications
In the initial hours following the application of the calcium channel blocker (CCB) nifedipine to microtissues consisting of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs), we observe notable variations in the drug’s efficacy ...

Charmed Pseudoscalar and Vector Mesons: a Comprehensive QCD Sum-Rule View of Their Decay Constants

, 2014
In spite of undeniable similarities of the applied techniques, somewhat different challenges are encountered when extracting, from QCD sum rules derived from two-point correlators of appropriate interpolating heavy-light quark currents, the decay ...

Decay Constants of Beauty Mesons from QCD Sum Rules

, 2014
Our recently completed analysis of the decay constants of both pseudoscalar and vector beauty mesons reveals that in the bottom-quark sector two specific features of the sum-rule predictions show up: (i) For the input value of the bottom-quark mass in ...

Have significant biodiversity values been protected from industrial logging across Australia?

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract Much of the planet's forest biodiversity is at risk from a range of threats. Threats include gaps in the protected area network and instances where these gaps are subject to intensive industrial logging. These gaps are referred to as optimal areas for protection and we sought to determine if certification schemes maintained the environmental ...

Facilitating Requirements Inspection with Search-Based Selection of Diverse Use Case Scenarios

EAI Endorsed Transactions on Creative Technologies, 2016
Use case scenarios are often used for conducting requirements inspection and other relevant downstream activities. While working with industrial partners, we discovered that an automated solution is required for optimally selecting a subset of use case ...

Temporary Intercropping With Forage or Industrial Crops Improves Yield and Weed Control in Cardoon (Cynara cardunculus var. altilis DC)

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2025.
This study compared the traditional cardoon cropping system with the option of temporary intercropping during the first year of cultivation with treatments: Vicia villosa, Eruca sativa, and Camelina sativa. Results show that temporary intercropping reduced weed biomass by 24%, while intercropping with V. villosa increased cardoon yield (in the year II)

Zeroed Out: Cryptanalysis of Weak PRFs in Alternating Moduli

IACR Transactions on Symmetric Cryptology
The growing adoption of secure multi-party computation (MPC) has driven the development of efficient symmetric key primitives tailored for MPC. Recent advances, such as the alternating moduli paradigm, have shown promise but leave room for cryptographic
