Capital Structure Optimization of Beauty Brands in International Market Expansion: The Integration of Financing Options and Market Entry Strategies by Deng Keer

“…In view of the differentiation between the stagnation of mature markets and the rapid growth of emerging markets in the Asia-Pacific region, this paper reveals the dynamic matching mechanism between financing methods (debt, equity, and hybrid) and market entry models (mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and greenfield investment) through a longitudinal analysis of the financial data of multinational beauty groups. The results show that the suitability of capital structure and market entry strategy significantly affects the success rate of expansion-mature markets prefer debt financing and wholly-owned models, while emerging markets need to adopt hybrid financing and joint venture strategies to diversify risks. …”

High-resolution structure of the N-terminal endonuclease domain of the Lassa virus L polymerase in complex with magnesium ions. by Gregor D Wallat, Qinfeng Huang, Wenjian Wang, Haohao Dong, Hinh Ly, Yuying Liang, Changjiang Dong

“…Although the catalytic residues (D89, E102 and K122) are highly conserved among the known viral endonucleases, LASV L endonuclease structure shows some notable differences. Our data collected from in vitro endonuclease assays and a reporter-based LASV minigenome transcriptional assay in mammalian cells confirm structural prediction of LASV L173 as an active endonuclease. …”

From Fields to Microclimate: Assessing the Influence of Agricultural Landscape Structure on Vegetation Cover and Local Climate in Central Europe by Jan Kuntzman, Jakub Brom

“…To explore this further, we studied an area along the Czech–Austrian border, where socio-political factors have created stark contrasts in landscape structure, despite a similar topography. Using Land Parcel Information System (LPIS) data, we analyzed the landscape structure on both sides and processed eight Landsat 8 and 9 OLI/TIRS scenes from the 2022 vegetation season to calculate spectral indices (NDVI, NDMI) and microclimatic features (surface temperature, albedo, and energy fluxes). …”
