Theoretical investigation on models of circadian rhythms based on dimerization and proteolysis of PER and TIM by Jifa Jiang, Qiang Liu, Lei Niu

“…By imposing assumptions that the dimerization reactions were fast and dimeric proteins were in rapid equilibrium, they reduced the model to a pair of nonlinear ordinary differential equations of mRNA and total protein concentrations. Then they used phase plane analysis tools to investigate circadian rhythms. …”

Climate Change Impact on Photovoltaic Energy Output: The Case of Greece by Ioanna S. Panagea, Ioannis K. Tsanis, Aristeidis G. Koutroulis, Manolis G. Grillakis

“…The spatiotemporal analysis indicates significant increase in mean annual temperature (up to 3.5°C) and mean total radiation (up to 5 W/m2) by 2100. The performance of photovoltaic systems exhibits a negative linear dependence on the projected temperature increase which is outweighed by the expected increase of total radiation resulting in an up to 4% increase in energy output.…”

Stellar Streams Reveal the Mass Loss of Globular Clusters by Yingtian Chen, Hui Li, Oleg Y. Gnedin

“…Using recent discoveries of GC streams from Gaia Data Release 3, we present, for the first time, a catalog of directly observed mass-loss rates for 12 Galactic GCs, ranging from 0.5 to 200 M _⊙ Myr ^−1 . By fitting power-law relations between the mass-loss rate and key GC properties, we identify positive correlations with GC mass and orbital frequency, consistent with the predictions from N -body simulations.…”
