Revisiting cosmic acceleration with DESI BAO by Jincheng Wang, Hongwei Yu, Puxun Wu

“…Our findings indicate significant deviations from the predictions of the $$\Lambda $$ Λ CDM model. Specifically, DESI BAO, DESI BAO + CMB, DESI BAO + CMB + Union3, and DESI BAO + CMB + DESY5 all provide strong evidence for a slowing down of cosmic acceleration at late times, as indicated by $$j(0) < 0$$ j ( 0 ) < 0 at more than 1 $$\sigma $$ σ confidence level, within the framework of $$w_0w_a$$ w 0 w a CDM model. …”

Environmental Gradients in Lizard Colouration by Lekshmi B. Sreelatha, Pedro Tarroso, Ossi Nokelainen, Zbyszek Boratyński, Miguel Angel Carretero

“…We studied direct and indirect (mediated by body mass) relationships between environmental variables and the lightness of lizards, by piecewise structural equation modelling. We simultaneously tested predictions from Gloger's (darker colouration in warm and humid environments), thermal melanism (darker colouration in colder environments), photoprotection (darker colouration in areas with higher intensity of solar radiation) and Bergmann's (larger body size in colder environments) hypotheses. …”

Quantitative Rockfall Hazard Assessment of the Norwegian Road Network and Residences at an Indicative Level from Simulated Trajectories by François Noël, Synnøve Flugekvam Nordang

“…It details how the temporal hazard component, related to the likelihood of failure, can be distributed spatially using simulated trajectories. The method can be applied with results from any process-based software and combined with various prediction methods of the temporal aspect, although this aspect is not the primary focus. …”

Energy-dependent Transport of Cosmic Rays in the Multiphase, Dynamic Interstellar Medium by Lucia Armillotta, Eve C. Ostriker, Nora B. Linzer

“…To interpret these numerical results, we develop a two-zone analytic model that captures and links the two (physically and spatially) distinct regimes of CR transport in the multiphase, dynamic ISM. …”

Durable resistance or efficient disease control? Adult Plant Resistance (APR) at the heart of the dilemma by Rimbaud, Loup, Papaïx, Julien, Rey, Jean-François, Moury, Benoît, Barrett, Luke G., Thrall, Peter H.

“…Using the demogenetic, spatially explicit, temporal, stochastic model landsepi, this study is a first attempt to investigate how resistance efficiency, age at the time of resistance activation and target pathogenicity trait jointly impact resistance durability and disease control at the landscape scale. …”

Translational control by the DEAD Box RNA helicase belle regulates ecdysone-triggered transcriptional cascades. by Robert J Ihry, Anne L Sapiro, Arash Bashirullah

“…The accumulation of E74A mRNA in belle mutant salivary glands is a result of auto-regulation, fulfilling a prediction made by Ashburner nearly 40 years ago. In this model, Ashburner postulates that, in addition to regulating secondary response genes, protein products of primary response genes like E74A also inhibit their own ecdysone-induced transcription. …”

Behavioral Classification of Sequential Neural Activity Using Time Varying Recurrent Neural Networks by Yongxu Zhang, Catalin Mitelut, David J. Arpin, David Vaillancourt, Timothy Murphy, Shreya Saxena

“…To enable the network to utilize all temporal features of the neural input data, and to enhance the memory of recurrent neural networks, this paper proposes a novel approach: recurrent neural networks with time-varying weights, here termed Time-varying recurrent neural networks. These models are able to not only predict the class of the time-sequence correctly, but also lead to accurate classification earlier in the sequence than standard recurrent neural networks, while also stabilizing gradient dynamics. …”

NF-κB RelA regulates temporal oligodendrocyte differentiation in the postnatal brains by Kamonrapat Sompub, Norihisa Bizen, Albert S. Baldwin, Albert S. Baldwin, Hirohide Takebayashi, Hirohide Takebayashi, Hirohide Takebayashi

“…In RelA cKO mice, we observed a transient delay of oligodendrocyte differentiation in the postnatal cerebral cortex, albeit in a spatially and temporally restricted manner. Similarly, in the primary cultured oligodendrocyte differentiation model, the loss of RelA resulted in impaired terminal differentiation. …”

Experimental measurement of mean transition path velocities of colloidal particles surmounting energy barriers by Brandon R Ferrer, Juan Ruben Gomez-Solano

The influence of farm connectedness on foot‐and‐mouth disease outbreaks in livestock by Jean B. Contina, Rachel L. Seibel, Bhim Chaulagain, Karasi B. Mills, Michael J. Tildesley, Christopher C. Mundt

“…The objectives were to (1) determine the impact of connectivity of the initially infected farm on the size of FMD outbreaks in four counties of differing connectivity; (2) compare FMD spread in counties that have different mean farm connectivity levels over all farms in the county; and (3) determine how connectivity relationships affect an example control measure. We used a spatially explicit stochastic model to simulate FMD outbreaks on livestock farm operations in four UK counties. …”
