foF2 Seasonal Asymmetry Diurnal Variation Study during Very Quiet Geomagnetic Activity at Dakar Station by Sibri Alphonse Sandwidi, Doua Allain Gnabahou, Frédéric Ouattara

“…We established, as the case of annual asymmetry, that this asymmetry could not be explained by the asymmetry in vertical velocity E×B phenomenon but by the axial mechanism, the “thermospheric spoon” mechanism, and the seasonally varying eddy mixing phenomenon.…”

Study on Wind Resistance Performance of Transmission Tower Using Fixture-Type Reinforcement Device by Xiao Tan, Yaodong Liu, Ben Sha, Nailong Zhang, Jie Chen, Hao Wang, Jianxiao Mao

“…The research results indicate that the FRD can effectively improve the deformation mode and failure characteristics of steel components under axial load. At the same time, using the FRD can effectively reduce the deformation of tower structures under strong wind, and only reinforcing three angled steel components can reduce the tower top displacement by about 55% and more.…”

Human lineage mutations regulate RNA-protein binding of conserved genes NTRK2 and ITPR1 involved in human evolution by Min Zhao, Weichen Song, Shunying Yu, Wenxiang Cai, Guan Ning Lin

“…These genes also carried excess damaging coding mutations that caused neurodevelopmental disorders, ataxia and schizophrenia. Among these genes, NTRK2 and ITPR1 had the most aggregated evidence of functional importance, suggesting their essential roles in cognition and bipedalism.Conclusions Our findings suggest that a small subset of human-specific mutations have contributed to human speciation through impacts on post-transcriptional modification of critical brain-related genes.…”
