Mechanistic Insights on Skin ageing and Dermatologic Interventions to Slow Ageing Process by Rajashree Sriram, V Gopal

“…The skin which is a robust predictor of age-related diseases, undergoes morphological and physiological alterations, because of synergistic effects of Intrinsic or Chronological (Age-dependent decline of cell function) and Extrinsic (environmental insults) ageing factors. …”

Exponential Estimates and Stabilization of Discrete-Time Singular Time-Delay Systems Subject to Actuator Saturation by Jinxing Lin

“…By constructing a decay-rate-dependent Lyapunov-Krasovskii function and utilizing the slow-fast decomposition technique, an exponential admissibility condition, which not only guarantees the regularity, causality, and exponential stability of the unforced system but also gives the corresponding estimates of decay rate and decay coefficient, is derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). …”

Geodynamo Conductivity Limits by Peter E. Driscoll, Zhixue Du

“…A dynamo regime diagram is derived as a function of electrical conductivity and temperature for Earth's core that identifies four distinct dynamo regimes: no dynamo, thermal dynamo, compositional dynamo, and thermocompositional dynamo. …”

Stronger femtosecond excitation causes slower electron-phonon coupling in silicon by A. B. Swain, J. Kuttruff, J. Vorberger, P. Baum

“…Here we use ultrafast electron diffraction with terahertz pulse compression to measure the electron-phonon decay rate in single-crystal silicon as a function of laser excitation strength. We find that the excited electrons relax slower into phonons for higher carrier densities. …”

Critical modulation frequency and critical band based on random amplitude and frequency changes by A. SĘK

“…The results of the investigations enable to state that the critical modulation frequency is an increasing function of the carrier frequency. It was also shown that psychoacoustically measurable quantities such as detection thresholds, the critical modulation frequency and quantities connected with it (i.e. critical bandwidth, a range of occurrence of a monaural phase effect), do not depend on a modulating signal character (i.e. whether this signal is periodic or random).…”

Exploring oncogenic roles and clinical significance of EZH2: focus on non-canonical activities by Michal Wozniak, Malgorzata Czyz

“…The enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) is a catalytic component of Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) mediating the methylation of histone 3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3) and hence the epigenetic repression of target genes, known as canonical function. Growing evidence indicates that EZH2 has non-canonical roles that are exerted as PRC2-dependent and PRC2-independent methylation of non-histone proteins, and methyltransferase-independent interactions of EZH2 with various proteins contributing to gene expression regulation and alterations in the protein stability. …”

Retour à la forme et au fond du récit : pour une pratique de la motivation littéraire by Hans Färnlöf

“…The notion of literary motivation, defined by the Russian formalists as motivirovka, opens up important perspectives for literary studies owing to its dual function. Ensuring the progression of the story by establishing connections between the elements in the storyworld, literary motivation also refers to the way in which this narrative arrangement obeys a poetic purpose on the compositional level. …”

Fidelity decay and error accumulation in random quantum circuits by Nadir Samos Sáenz de Buruaga, Rafał Bistroń, Marcin Rudziński, Rodrigo M. C. Pereira, Karol Życzkowski, Pedro Ribeiro

“…We show that fidelity decays exponentially with both circuit depth and the number of qubits raised to an architecture-dependent power and we determine the decay rates as a function of the amplitude of the aforementioned errors. …”

Mutual coupling error modeling and correction of shared aperture interleaved sparse array antennas by Junming ZHUANG, Longjun LI

“…The shared aperture interleaved sparse array antenna is an effective way to implement a multi-function array antenna.The existing parameterized mutual coupling elimination methods are all developed for uniform array antennas.The mutual coupling matrix which is studied is a regular square matrix and is not applicable to the mutual coupling matrix model of the shared aperture interleaved sparse array antenna.After fully considering the speciality of “sparse” and “azimuth dependence” of mutual coupling in sub-arrays of a shared aperture interleaved sparse array antenna,the conventional mutual coupling matrix extension was expressed as “non-square” “enhanced mutual coupling matrix”.Coupling effects between subarrays and subarrays in interleaved arrays of sparse arrays were modeled,and the modeling and correction of mutual coupling errors in shared aperture sparse array antennas were finally achieved through the parameterization of “enhanced mutual coupling matrix”.Simulation results verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method.…”
