Deploying and Managing a Network of Autonomous Internet Measurement Probes: Lessons Learned by Urban Sedlar, Miha Rugelj, Mojca Volk, Janez Sterle

“…To quantify these conditions, we have developed a mobile internet measurement probe called QMON, which can be either statically deployed or used in drive measurements and is able to collect hundreds of key performance indicators on physical, network, and application layers of the network stack, acting at the same time as an event-driven real-time sensor network and a batch-mode detailed data collection device. …”

Shear localisation controls the dynamics of earthquakes by Fabian Barras, Nicolas Brantut

“…Energy dissipation is dictated by the mechanical behaviour of the fault, which is itself the result of feedbacks between thermo-hydro-mechanical processes acting at the mm to sub-mm scale. Here, we numerically simulate shear ruptures using a dual scale approach, allowing us to couple a sub-mm description of inner fault processes and km-scale elastodynamics, and show that the sudden localisation of shear strain within a shear zone leads to the emergence of classical cracks driven by a constant fracture energy. …”

When HSFs bring the heat—mapping the transcriptional circuitries of HSF-type regulators in Candida albicans by Sadri Znaidi

“…C. albicans HSFs do not only respond to heat shock and/or temperature variation but also to CO2 levels, oxidative stress, and quorum sensing, acting this way as central decision makers. In this minireview, I follow on the heels of my mSphere of Influence commentary (2020) to provide an overview of the repertoire of HSF regulators in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and C. albicans and describe how their genetic perturbation in C. albicans, coupled with genome-wide expression and location analyses, allow to map their transcriptional circuitry. …”

Evaluating Tactical Skills of Amateur Soccer Players With Respect To Their Positions by Mine Taşkın, Turgut Kaplan, Osman Yılmaz, Halil Taşkın

“…Central Defenders had higher tactical skills than did Goalkeepers, Central Midfielders, External Midfielders, and Forwards in the acting in changing situations (P lt;0.05). The knowing about others soccer players were not statistically significant in the case of all positions (P gt;0.05).In conclusion, it is considered that the tactical skills of the stoppers and forward players are better than the other players. …”

Semi-Empirical Predictions on the Structure and Properties of ent-Kaurenoic Acid and Derivatives by Jose Isagani B. Janairo, Gerardo C. Janairo, Derrick Ethelbhert C. YU

“…Moreover, molecular similarity analyses derived from semi-empirical calculations between ent-kaurenoic acid and a set of kaurane diterpenoids showed differences in hydrophobic complementarity, size and electronic properties despite possessing nearly identical molecular frameworks, thus, arriving in a generalization for their observed mechanistic differences on acting on different targets.…”
