Ecological restoration zoning and its driving factors in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei based on landscape ecological risk and ecosystem services by Wendi Wang, Ying Chen, Zhe Du, Shanting Bi, Qing Zhang, Teng Ye

“…The sustainability and vulnerability of regional ecosystems are described by landscape ecological risk (ERI) and ecosystem services (ES), respectively, from the perspectives of positive function and negative disturbance. Integrating them facilitates a more comprehensive identification of ecosystem degradation risks and functional deficiencies, thereby providing dual support for formulating differentiated restoration strategies. …”

Bacterial communities associated with ambrosia beetles: current knowledge and existing gaps by Juan Carlos Cambronero-Heinrichs, Juan Carlos Cambronero-Heinrichs, Peter H. W. Biedermann, Laura Besana, Andrea Battisti, Davide Rassati

“…Various methods for collecting beetles have been used, such as ethanol-baited traps, direct collection from galleries, logs kept in emergence cages, and rearing, but which of them to select when planning a study depends on the specific aim. A significant knowledge gap remains regarding the functional roles of dominant bacterial taxa, as metabarcoding studies often assume that these roles are similar to those played in other beetle species, such as bark beetles. …”

SCIENTIFIC AND PRACTICAL PROPOSALS ON THE CHOICE AND APPLICATION OF STRATEGIC CONTROLLING INSTRUMENTS AT THE ENTERPRISE IN THE MODERN CONDITIONS by Lyudmyla Malyarets, Olena Iastremska

“…In order to determine the optimal values of indicators that can be achieved, taking into account the real possibilities of an enterprise, it is recommended to solve an optimization problem, the solution of which provides optimal values of the indicators. As a target function in the optimization problem, the dependence of the integral indicator (I) of the enterprise's activity development on its most influential controlled indicators, determined on the basis of ranking by means of multivariate statistical factor analysis and multiple regression analysis, should be considered. …”

Catabolism Mechanism and Growth-Promoting Effect of Xylooligosaccharides in <i>Lactiplantibacillus plantarum</i> Strain B20 by Yini Shi, Huan Wang, Zhongke Sun, Zifu Ni, Chengwei Li

“…Enzymatic assays further demonstrated that RS06170 possesses β-xylosidase activity and can effectively degrade XOS. In addition, functional enrichment analysis suggested that the growth-promoting effect of XOS may be attributed to the upregulation of genes involved in cellular component biogenesis and cell division, potentially through modulation of ribosome function and carbohydrate metabolism in <i>Lb. plantarum</i> B20. …”

VPS29 is not an active metallo-phosphatase but is a rigid scaffold required for retromer interaction with accessory proteins. by James D Swarbrick, Daniel J Shaw, Sandeep Chhabra, Rajesh Ghai, Eugene Valkov, Suzanne J Norwood, Matthew N J Seaman, Brett M Collins

“…We find that although VPS29 can coordinate metal ions Mn(2+) and Zn(2+) in both the putative active site and at other locations, the affinity for metals is low, and lack of activity in phosphatase assays using a putative peptide substrate support the conclusion that VPS29 is not a functional metalloenzyme. There is evidence that structural elements of VPS29 critical for binding the retromer subunit VPS35 may undergo both metal-dependent and independent conformational changes regulating complex formation, however studies using ITC and NMR residual dipolar coupling (RDC) measurements show that this is not the case. …”
