Design, Synthesis, and In Vitro Kinetics Study of Atenolol Prodrugs for the Use in Aqueous Formulations by Rafik Karaman, Alaa Qtait, Khulod Khayyat Dajani, Saleh Abu Lafi

“…The calculations demonstrated that the amide bond cleavage is due to intramolecular nucleophilic catalysis by the adjacent carboxylic acid group and the rate-limiting step is determined based on the nature of the amine leaving group. In addition, a linear correlation of the calculated and experimental rate values has drawn credible basis for designing atenolol prodrugs that are bitterless, are stable in neutral aqueous solutions, and have the potential to release the parent drug in a sustained release manner. …”

Improved insulator location and defect detection method based on GhostNet and YOLOv5s networks by Jianjun Huang, Xuhong Huang, Ronghao Kang, Zhihong Chen, Junhan Peng

“…First, the backbone feature extraction network of YOLOv5 was reconstructed with the lightweight GhostNet module to reduce the number of parameters and floating point operations of the model, so as to achieve the purpose of being lightweight. Then, a 160 × 160 feature layer was added to the YOLOv5 network to extract more feature information of small targets and fuzzy targets. …”

Study on the Dynamic Evolution of Transverse Collusive Bidding Behavior and Regulation Countermeasures Under the “Machine-Managed Bidding” System by Zongyuan Zhang, Jincan Liu, Zhitian Zhang, Bin Chen

“…To this end, this study develops an evolutionary game model among collusion initiators, free bidders, and regulators, explores possible scenarios for evolutionarily stable strategies, and performs sensitivity analysis of critical parameters utilizing MATLAB software (Version R2024a) based on empirical data. Results indicate that: (1) The MMB model significantly mitigates vertical collusive bidding behavior but lacks measures for governing transverse collusive bidding; (2) The game model has five evolutionarily stable strategies, with the one where the collusion initiator adopting the “non-collude” strategy, the free bidder adopting the “bid” strategy, and the regulator adopting the “negative regulate” strategy being the optimal evolutionary stable strategy; (3) Decreasing the costs associated with preparing bid documents, enhancing supervision costs, increasing the technical complexity of collusive bidding, and expanding the total number of construction enterprises with high-credit and low-credit ratings can expedite the evolution of the three participants toward the optimal evolutionarily stable strategy. …”

Patchiness of plankton ecosystem structure due to nutrient mixing along the shelf edge in the North Sea by Axelle Cordier, Jørgen Bendtsen, Niels Daugbjerg, Nikolaj From, Sigrún Huld Jónasdóttir, Erik Askov Mousing, Jens Tang Christensen, Teresa Silva, Katherine Richardson

“…Here, we demonstrate that phytoplankton communities in this region tend to be dominated by larger cells (estimated from percentage of chlorophyll captured on a 10 μm filter) than beyond the shelf edge. Fv/Fm (PSII electron transport capacity) corrected for photoinhibition in the surface layer correlated in this study with the percentage of chlorophyll captured on a 10 µm filter (assumed to be large cells), suggesting that the phytoplankton community was responding to increased nutrients in the euphotic zone by increasing photosynthetic efficiency and altering community composition. …”
