Cryo-EM structure and evolutionary history of the conjugation surface exclusion protein TraT by Chloe Seddon, Sophia David, Joshua L. C. Wong, Naito Ishimoto, Shan He, Jonathan Bradshaw, Wen Wen Low, Gad Frankel, Konstantinos Beis

“…Unexpectedly, we identify chromosomal TraT homologues from multiple Gram-negative phyla which form numerous divergent lineages in a phylogenetic tree of TraT sequences. Plasmid-associated TraT sequences are found in multiple distinct lineages, including two separate clades incorporating TraT from Enterobacteriaceae IncF/F-like and Legionellaceae F-like plasmids. …”

The First Record of an Aggressive Form of Ocular Tumour Enhanced by Marek’s Disease Virus Infection in Layer Flock in Al-Najaf, Iraq by Aoula Al-Zebeeby, Ali Hadi Abbas, Haider Abas Alsaegh, Furkan Sabbar Alaraji

“…The diagnosis MD infection was confirmed by a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) amplification of a specific region of the target gene meq of the causative agent, followed by Sanger sequencing and BLASTn search of the sequence against the NCBI nucleic acid database, resulted in Gallid alpha herpes virus 2 strain, and according to the phylogenetic analysis, the sequence from this study was uniquely clustered in its own branch in the tree. Histopathological examination of the ocular tumour core revealed aggregation of neoplastic cells and haemorrhage that replaced the normal eye tissue, as well as early tumour formation in internal organs such as the lung and liver. …”

The dependency structure of international commodity and stock markets after the Russia-Ukraine war. by Cheng Zhang, Shuo Liu, Mimi Qin, Bin Gao

“…In this paper, the marginal density function of each series is constructed using the ARMA-GARCH-std method, and the R-Vine copula model is built based on the marginal density function to analyze the correlation relationship between each market. From the Tree1 of the Vine copula, it is found that crude oil becomes the core connecting each commodity market and the stock market during the Russia-Ukraine war. …”

Relation of body mass index to postoperative atrial fibrillation by A.C. Iliescu, F.C. Corciova, I. Achitei, M. Floria, G. Tinica

“…We developed a multivariate prediction model combining six variables associated with increased risk of postoperative atrial fibrillation (advanced age, body mass index, moderate tricuspid regurgitation, prolonged ventilation, longer staying in the intensive care units and dilated left atrium (≥ 35 ml/m2)) that has moderate predictive value (64.7 %). We also developed a tree decision model, also with moderate predictive value, including body mass index as a variable that influences arrhythmic risk in patients undergoing valvular aortic surgery. …”

ADA-NAF: Semi-Supervised Anomaly Detection Based on the Neural Attention Forest by Andrey Ageev, Andrei Konstantinov, Lev Utkin

“…In this study, we present a novel model called ADA-NAF (Anomaly Detection Autoencoder with the Neural Attention Forest) for semi-supervised anomaly detection that uniquely integrates the Neural Attention Forest (NAF) architecture which has been developed to combine a random forest classifier with a neural network computing attention weights to aggregate decision tree predictions. The key idea behind ADA-NAF is the incorporation of NAF into an autoencoder structure, where it implements functions of a compressor as well as a reconstructor of input vectors. …”

Application of International Telecommunication Union Recommendation L.1480 on measuring the greenhouse gas emission effects to a use case for photovoltaic power generation equipmen... by François Bélorgey, Jérôme Fournier, Nathalie Labidurie Omnes

“…The study quantifies this use by accounting all greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions consequences (incl. installation, operation and maintenance) over the duration of the action (i.e. the supply and operation of the photovoltaic panels, inverter and associated services), through the construction of a consequence tree and the effective observation of usage behaviors; it thus avoids pushing potentially negative effects outside the scope of the study, like rebound effects (ex.: increase of 10% in electricity consumption after photovoltaic panels commissioning) or the consequences of the use of financial gains (or losses). …”
