Bayesian solution to the inverse problem and its relation to Backus–Gilbert methods by Luigi Del Debbio, Alessandro Lupo, Marco Panero, Nazario Tantalo

“…In our setup, we find that the determination of the algorithmic parameters based on a stability analysis provides results that are, on average, more conservative than those based on the maximisation of a likelihood function.…”

The role of oxidative stress in male infertility: Connection to sperm telomere shortening and overall DNA damage by Glišić Biljana, Kotur-Stevuljević Jelena

“…Additionally, shorter telomeres in semen correlate with reduced sperm vitality and function. Oxidative stress accelerates telomere attrition by inducing DNA damage, which leads to telomere shortening and potentially compromises sperm function and fertility. …”

Expression of mutant or cytosolic PrP in transgenic mice and cells is not associated with endoplasmic reticulum stress or proteasome dysfunction. by Elena Quaglio, Elena Restelli, Anna Garofoli, Sara Dossena, Ada De Luigi, Luigina Tagliavacca, Daniele Imperiale, Antonio Migheli, Mario Salmona, Roberto Sitia, Gianluigi Forloni, Roberto Chiesa

“…Because ER stress favors the formation of untranslocated PrP that might aggregate in the cytosol and impair proteasome function, we also measured the activity of the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS). …”

Modelling and optimisation of solar photovoltaic power using response surface methodology by Abdulrahman Mohammad, Mudhar Al-Obaidi, Hassan Dakkama, Haitham Bahlol

“…In the current study, the response surface methodology based on the D-optimal Design approach is applied to model an optimise the generated power of photovoltaic module using desirability function. The optimisation has considered the interaction of three essential independent variables including: solar irradiance (169.2-981.7) , module temperature (36.14-67.01) °C and wind speed (0.5-2.4) m/s with the generated power (dependent variable). …”

Proteasome inhibition triggers tissue-specific immune responses against different pathogens in C. elegans. by Manish Grover, Spencer S Gang, Emily R Troemel, Michalis Barkoulas

“…We also report that almost all ORR/IPR genes induced in common between these programs are regulated by the proteasome and interestingly, specific ORR/IPR genes can be induced in distinct tissues depending on the exact trigger. Furthermore, we show that increasing proteasome function significantly reduces oomycete-mediated induction of multiple ORR markers. …”

Warum sind Enzyme Makromoleküle? by P.L. Luisi

“…Indeed, the products synthesized by nature do not correspond to the optimal structural efficiency; on the contrary, structures are built at random without a prefixed finality, and they assume a function that depends on the circumstances. As a consequence of this “molecular tinkering” all enzymes may be mostly oversized, at least in principle. …”
