Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?

Research on surrounding rock deformation characteristics and support optimization measures for tunnel TBM crossing through fault fracture zones

Scientific Reports
The tunnel boring machine (TBM) is a core equipment for mountain tunnel engineering, but it often faces problems such as surrounding rock deformation, collapse, and TBM entrapment when crossing fault fracture zones. Taking the TBM crossing of F1 fault in

Environmental Impacts of Road Traffic and Route Variants: An Accurate Way to Support Decision-Making Processes of Mountain Roads and Tunnels in Austria

Buildings
Traffic contributes nearly 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions. For designing new traffic routes and decision-making processes, it is essential to incorporate integral life cycle assessments (LCAs) to ensure sustainable solutions and to achieve the UN

Structural and biochemical insights into the thermostable esterase Ta0887 from Thermoplasma acidophilum

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In this study, a novel esterase from the thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum was biochemically and structurally characterized. Our results demonstrate that Ta0887 is a highly thermostable esterase that preferentially hydrolyzes p‐nitrophenyl hexanoate and possesses an α‐helical cap domain that likely contributes to its substrate ...

Post-failure analysis of landslide in strongly weathered slopes using the DDA-SPH method

Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
This study proposes a novel strongly weathered slope (SWS) numerical model based on the coupled discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA)-smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method for simulating SWSs.

Artificial Intelligence in Systemic Sclerosis: Clinical Applications, Challenges, and Future Directions

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune disease defined by immune dysregulation, vasculopathy, and progressive fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Despite advances in care, major complications such as interstitial lung disease (ILD) and myocardial involvement remain the leading causes of morbidity and mortality.
