Correction of ERA5 temperature and relative humidity biases by bivariate quantile mapping for contrail formation analysis by K. Wolf, K. Wolf, N. Bellouin, N. Bellouin, O. Boucher, S. Rohs, Y. Li

“…Good agreement was found for the temperature fields, with a maximum bias of <span class="inline-formula">−</span>0.4 K (200 hPa level), while larger biases were found for relative humidity of up to <span class="inline-formula">−</span>5.5 % (250 hPa level). Using original ERA5 data, conditions prone to contrail formation occurred 50.3 % and 7.9 % of the time for non-persistent and persistent contrails, respectively, while 44.0 % and 12.1 % were flagged in the IAGOS data. …”

Operativity of the Taunsa Barrage, Pakistan: Experimental Investigation on the Subsidiary Weir by Muhammad Zahid Ullah, Habib-Ur-Rehman Mughal, Noor Yaseen, Noor Muhammad Khan, Giada Varra, Luca Cozzolino, Renata Della Morte

“…The results demonstrated (i) inadequate tailwater levels and oscillating hydraulic jump formation under increased discharges in pre-rehabilitation conditions (highlighting the poor performance of the original Taunsa Barrage stilling basin and the need for an SW to address these hydraulic deficiencies), and (ii) that the SW, under the design conditions, achieved optimal head loss for discharge values near the design discharge. …”

Generation of live mice from haploid ESCs with germline-DMR deletions or switch by Yongjian Ma, Meng Yan, Zhenfei Xie, Hongling Zhang, Zhoujie Li, Yuanyuan Li, Suming Yang, Meiling Zhang, Wen Li, Jinsong Li

“…Together, our findings indicate that restoration of monoallelic expression of 10 imprinted regions is adequate for the full-term development of all-haESC pups, and it works irrespective of their parental origins. Meanwhile, Ha-Ha-fusion system provides a useful tool for deciphering imprinting regulation networks during embryonic development.…”

Typical and atypical metabolic characteristics of three iridaceae isoflavone components: in vitro and in silico studies by Jifeng Gu, Jifeng Gu, Huishan Zhang, Mei Wang, Yuyang Zhou, Yuyang Zhou, Zhipeng Deng, Rong Shi

“…However, the metabolic characteristics of isoflavone aglycones remain unclear.MethodsIn this study, human liver microsomes (HLMs) and Cytochrome P450 (CYP) recombinant enzymes were used to study the metabolic stability, identify the metabolic pathways and enzyme kinetics of these three components, and elucidate their possible binding sites through molecular docking.ResultsWhen tectorigenin, irigenin, and irisflorentin were co-incubated with HLMs and CYP recombinant enzymes, hydroxylation metabolite for tectorigenin, demethylated metabolite for irigenin, and 6,7-dihydroxy-5,3′,4′,5′-tetramethoxy isoflavone originating from irisflorentin were identified. CYP2E1 and CYP3A4 have high metabolic rates for tectorigenin, whereas CYP2C19 and CYP1A2 are the most important metabolic enzymes for irigenin and irisflorentin, respectively. …”
