Repression of CADM1 transcription by HPV type 18 is mediated by three-dimensional rearrangement of promoter-enhancer interactions. by Karen Campos-León, Jack Ferguson, Thomas Günther, C David Wood, Steven W Wingett, Selin Pekel, Christy S Varghese, Leanne S Jones, Joanne D Stockton, Csilla Várnai, Michelle J West, Andrew Beggs, Adam Grundhoff, Boris Noyvert, Sally Roberts, Joanna L Parish

“…Many of these altered sites are clustered within regulatory elements of differentially expressed genes, including the tumour suppressor gene cell adhesion molecule 1 (CADM1), which supresses epithelial cell growth and invasion. We show that HPV18 establishment results in reduced CTCF binding at the CADM1 promoter and upstream enhancer. …”

The Golden Horde through the eyes of Contemporaries and Eyewitnesses by Ivanov V.A.

“…Those few authors who had the opportunity to observe the life of the Golden Horde with their own eyes and from the inside – Plano Carpini, Guillaume (Willem) Rubruk, Marco Polo, Ibn Battuta – recorded approximately the same things in their notes, namely that “Tatars” were nomads who fed on the products of cattle breeding and hunting, were unpretentious in everyday life, unpretentious in clothing, formally Muslims but in fact dual-religionists since they preserved pagan remnant traditions of nomads. …”

DFT and molecular docking analyses of the effects of solvent polarity and temperature on the structural, electronic, and thermodynamic properties of p-coumaric acid: Insights for a... by Umer Sherefedin, Abebe Belay, Kusse Gudishe, Alemu Kebede, Alemayehu Getahun Kumela, Tadesse Lemma Wakjira, Dereje Gelanu, Tesfaye Feyise, Jebel Haji Mahamud, Abdulkerim Abdela, Kebede Shankute Gizew

“…DFT calculations revealed notable changes in the geometric features of p-CA, including bond angles, dihedral angles, and bond lengths, in both vacuum and water. Furthermore, the results indicated that solvent polarity caused variations in the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, absolute and solvation energies, dipole moment, and HOMO–LUMO gap. …”

Influence of Ni, Al, W doping on microstructure, corrosion and wear resistance of HVOF spraying Fe-based amorphous alloy coatings by Chengwu Zhang, Lei Xie, Qiang Li, Guan Zhang, Chuntao Chang, Hongxiang Li, Xu Ma, Lin Liu

“…Mott–Schottky analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results showed that the W-doped AACs forming the densest and thickest passivation films, ascribed to an increased fraction of protective and stable low-valent metal oxides (Fe2+/Cr3+/Mo4+), enhanced corrosion resistance by promoting film growth and degradation processes. Dry wear tests revealed that among these Fe-based AACs, the W-doped AAC exhibited the superior wear resistance, with the lowest coefficient of friction (0.42) and wear rate (2.8 × 10−5 mm3·N−1·m−1), because of higher amorphous content and higher hardness. …”
