Conditions for the emergence of circumnutations in plant roots. by Ilya Loshchilov, Emanuela Del Dottore, Barbara Mazzolai, Dario Floreano

“…Here we describe a model capable of replicating root growth behaviors, which we used to analyze the role of circumnuntations, revealing their emergence I) under gravitropic stress, as a combination of signal propagation and sensitivity to the signal carriers; II) as a result of the interplay between gravitropic and thigmotropic responses; and III) as a behavioral strategy to detect and react to resource gradients. The latter function requires the presence of a hypothetical internal oscillator whose parameters are regulated by the perception of environmental resources.…”

Large-scale RNA-Seq mining reveals ciclopirox olamine induces TDP-43 cryptic exons by Irika R. Sinha, Parker S. Sandal, Holly Spence, Grace D. Burns, Aswathy Peethambaran Mallika, Fatemeh Abbasinejad, Katherine E. Irwin, Anna Lourdes F. Cruz, Vania Wang, Shaelyn R. Marx, Josué Llamas Rodríguez, Ben Langmead, Jenna M. Gregory, Philip C. Wong, Jonathan P. Ling

“…We previously found that TDP-43 loss-of-function leads to transcriptome-wide inclusion of deleterious cryptic exons, a signature detected in presymptomatic biofluids and postmortem ALS-FTD brain tissue, but the upstream mechanisms that lead to TDP-43 dysregulation remain unclear. …”

Granular analysis of pathways to care and durations of untreated psychosis: A marginal delay model. by Walter S Mathis, Maria Ferrara, Shadie Burke, Emily Hyun, Fangyong Li, Bin Zhou, John Cahill, Emily R Kline, Matcheri S Keshavan, Vinod H Srihari

“…Marginal-delay, or the portion of overall delay attributable to a specific node, was computed as the number of days between the start dates of contiguous nodes on the PTC. Sources of delay within the network of care were quantified and patient characteristic (sex, age, race, income, insurance, living, education, employment, and function) influences on such delays were analyzed via bivariate and mixed model testing.…”

Phonological and Sociolinguistic Challenges of Translating Yorùbá Play, and Game Songs to Singable English for Children by Bolanle O. Sogunro

“…Consequently, the translations are “unperformable” as oral texts, thus, failing their aesthetic and functional purpose for children. To investigate the translation problems involved and proffer solutions, this essay analyses five randomly selected Yoruba songs and seven of their available English translations from online sources and an unpublished manuscript, using sociolinguistic translation theory and the analytical framework of Franzon’s song translation choices. …”

Wave-packet manipulation of He Rydberg states by a seeded free-electron laser by Mathieu Dumergue, Paolo Antonio Carpeggiani, Tamás Csizmadia, Miltcho Danailov, Alexander Demidovich, Giovanni De Ninno, Michele Di Fraia, Per Eng-Johnsson, Dominik Ertel, Hikaru Fujise, Mizuho Fushitani, Luca Giannessi, Harshitha Nandiga Gopalakrishna, Akiyoshi Hishikawa, Heide Ibrahim, Sergei Kühn, Francois Légaré, Yu Luo, Praveen Kumar Maroju, Johan Mauritsson, Matteo Moioli, Anna Olofsson, Jasper Peschel, Oksana Plekan, Stephen T. Pratt, Lorenzo Raimondi, Primož Rebernik Ribič, Shu Saito, Giuseppe Sansone, Ronak Shah, Emma R. Simpson, Daehyun You, Marco Zangrando, Carlo Callegari, Kiyoshi Ueda, Kevin C. Prince

“…The He atoms were postionized by infrared (IR) pulses, and the ion yield was measured as a function of XUV phase and IR arrival time. We tagged and sorted the relative phase of the XUV pulse pair on a single-shot basis by fitting each FEL spectrum with a suitable function that accounts for nonidealities of the XUV pulse pairs, associated with the seeding process; more generally, the fit returns the time-dependent electric field of the FEL spectra. …”
