Adrenomedullin as a Growth and Cell Fate Regulatory Factor for Adult Neural Stem Cells by Sonia Martínez-Herrero, Ignacio M. Larráyoz, Laura Ochoa-Callejero, Josune García-Sanmartín, Alfredo Martínez

“…The active peptides derived from the AM gene are able to regulate the cytoskeleton dynamics, which is extremely important for mature neural cell morphogenesis. In addition, a defective cytoskeleton may impair cell cycle and migration, so AM may contribute to neural stem cell growth regulation by allowing cells to pass through mitosis. …”

Excited states of mono- and biruthenium(II) complexes adsorbed on nanocrystalline titanium dioxide studied by electroabsorption spectroscopy by Daniel Pelczarski, Błażej Gierczyk, Maciej Zalas, Malgorzata Makowska-Janusik, Waldemar Stampor

“…Due to the difficulties arising from standard analysis based on Liptay formalism, we have for the first time successfully reproduced the EA spectra of the Ru/TiO2 systems using the time-dependent density functional (TDDFT) calculations, incorporating into the Hamiltonian a term describing the interaction of a molecule with the local electric field it experiences from the TiO2 structure and the neighboring Ru complex molecules, without additional assumptions about the lineshape of the EA signal. …”

International Commercial Arbitration Award and the Grounds to Set It Aside: Comparative Legal Analysis of Regulation in Russia and Singapore by N. A. Kapustina

“…The legislation of Singapore also contains additional (compared to generally accepted) grounds for the setting aside an arbitral award — fraudulent or corrupt motives; violation of the fundamental principle of natural justice, while specific approaches to the essence of these grounds were developed by judicial practice.Of particular interest is the developed pro-arbitration active position of the state court of Singapore regarding the possibility of returning an arbitration dispute from the state court to arbitration, as well as the criteria for such return.…”

A Unified Bayesian Model for Generalized Community Detection in Attribute Networks by Qiang Tian, Wenjun Wang, Yingjie Xie, Huaming Wu, Pengfei Jiao, Lin Pan

“…However, most methods proposed so far are typically only applicable to assortative community structures, that is, more links within communities and fewer links between different communities, which ignore the rich diversity of community regularities in real networks. In addition, the node attributes that provide rich semantics information of communities and networks can facilitate in-depth community detection of structural information. …”

Tunes that move us: the impact of music-induced emotions on prosocial decision-making by Hongwei Wu, Danni Wang, Linshu Zhou

“…Experiments 2 and 3 demonstrated that only mood, influenced by the music mode, affects prosocial decision-making, while tempo-induced arousal does not. Additionally, Theory of Mind and memory strength do not mediate these effects.DiscussionThese findings reveal the role of pure music listening and specific emotional dimensions on prosocial decision-making, providing evidence to support the music-social bonding hypothesis.…”
