Visual Art as a Means of Presenting a Fashion Designer’s Creative Idea by Людмила Дихнич

“…After analysing the goals of designers and the impact of visual works on promoting fashion and fixing the suit images in the imagination of the consumer audience, the following functions of fashion graphics are identified: communicative (by presenting a sketch or illustration, the designer establishes or reinforces a connection with the target audience); advertising (by placing a sketch, illustration or author’s narrative graphics in the information space — printed and online sources, the designer promotes a new product or creates cult features for an existing product); correspondence of the suit to a work of art (using visual means, the designer brings closer or equates the process of creating a suit with the creation of a work of visual art). …”

Gene-Environment Interactions in Stress Response Contribute Additively to a Genotype-Environment Interaction. by Takeshi Matsui, Ian M Ehrenreich

“…To shed light on this problem, we genetically dissected an environment-specific poor growth phenotype in a cross of two budding yeast strains. This phenotype is detectable when certain segregants are grown on ethanol at 37°C ('E37'), a condition that differs from the standard culturing environment in both its carbon source (ethanol as opposed to glucose) and temperature (37°C as opposed to 30°C). …”

Load balancing method of service cluster based on mean-variance by Xiaoan BAO, Xue WEI, Lei CHEN, Guoheng HU, Na ZHANG

“…When a large number of concurrent requests are allocated,the load scheduling mechanism is to achieve the load balancing of nodes in the network by minimizing the response time and maximizing the utilization ratio of nodes.In the load balancing algorithm based on genetic algorithm,the fitness function is designed to have an important influence on the load balancing efficiency.A service cluster load balancing method based on mean-variance was proposed to optimize the fitness function.The investment portfolio selection model mean-variance was used to minimize the response time,which was used to get the weight of each server's resource utilization,so as to obtain the optimal allocation combination.This method improves the accuracy and efficiency of the fitness function.Compared with other models in different service environment,the simulation results show that the load balancing algorithm makes the service cluster get a better balance performance in terms of node utilization and response time.…”

Concept of Vector Multicomponent Physical Quantities, Models and Measurement Method by V. N. Nesterov

“…There are three positions of this conception in this paper, which are formulated as follows: vector multicomponent physical quantities are considered as functions of the set of their constituent information components; the communication functions of the specified information components in the models of multicomponent physical quantities are determined by the laws of vector algebra; information models of vector multicomponent physical quantities allow an alternative representation of information components depending on the selected coordinate system.The mathematical model of the vector multicomponent physical quantity is presented. …”

Mitochondrial genome assembly of the Chinese endemic species of Camellia luteoflora and revealing its repetitive sequence mediated recombination, codon preferences and MTPTs by Xu Xiao, Zhaohui Ran, Chao Yan, Weihao Gu, Zhi Li

“…Phylogenetic reconstruction using mitochondrial PCGs positioned C. luteoflora in closest evolutionary proximity to Camellia sinensis var. sinensis. Selection pressure analysis (Ka/Ks ratios < 1 for 11 PCGs) and nucleotide diversity assessment (Pi values: 0–0.00711) indicated strong purifying selection and low sequence divergence.This study provides the first comprehensive mitochondrial genomic resource for C. luteoflora, offering critical insights for germplasm conservation, comparative organelle genomics, phylogenetic resolution, and evolutionary adaptation studies in Camellia species.…”

Unveiling the ecological processes driving soil and lichen microbiome assembly along an urbanization gradient by Panji Cahya Mawarda, Rens van der Kaaij, Francisco Dini-Andreote, Deniz Duijker, Michael Stech, Adrianus GCL Speksnijder

“…Our findings revealed that the urbanization gradient shaped the soil microbiome, while the lichen microbiomes exhibited strong host specificity and showed no significant changes in diversity along the urbanization gradient. Heterogeneous selection and dispersal limitation primarily governed the soil community assembly and higher community turnover in medium- and highly urbanized zones compared to low-urbanized zones, indicating an increased influence of environmental pressures, altered resources, and habitat fragmentation in more urbanized areas. …”
