Regulation and Function of the Peg3 Imprinted Domain by Hongzhi He, Joomyeong Kim

“…A subset of mammalian genes differ functionally between two alleles due to genomic imprinting, and seven such genes (Peg3, Usp29, APeg3, Zfp264, Zim1, Zim2, Zim3) are localized within the 500-kb genomic interval of the human and mouse genomes, constituting the Peg3 imprinted domain. This Peg3 domain shares several features with the other imprinted domains, including an evolutionarily conserved domain structure, along with transcriptional co-regulation through shared cis regulatory elements, as well as functional roles in controlling fetal growth rates and maternal-caring behaviors. …”

Modeling the contour arc based on Dezargues configuration by E. V. Konopatskiy, I. G. Balyuba

“…The analysis has shown that the obtained contour arc has interesting geometric properties, which can potentially be used for modeling one-dimensional and multidimensional outlines of high order smoothness, which constitutes a prospect for further research. A detailed description of the process of parametrization the contour arc in the point calculus based on the proposed geometric algorithm for its construction with the exception of cumbersome transformations is presented. …”

Flow optimization in vascular networks by Radu C. Cascaval, Ciro D'Apice, Maria Pia D'Arienzo, Rosanna Manzo

“…Detailed $3$D studies of flow in the arterial system based on the Navier-Stokes equations require high computational power, hence reduced models are often used, both for the constitutive laws and the spatial domain. In order to capture the major features of the phenomena under study, such as variations in arterial pressure and flow velocity, the resulting PDE models on networks require appropriate junction and boundary conditions. …”
