MicroRNA-219 in the central nervous system: a potential theranostic approach by Nahal Shamaeizadeh, Mina Mirian

“…MicroRNA-219 is a specific brain-enriched miRNA associated with neurodevelopmental disorders that play crucial roles in the differentiation of oligodendrocyte progenitorcells, promotion of oligodendrocyte maturation, remyelination, and cognitive functions to the extent that it can be considered a potential therapeutic option for demyelination in multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injury and reverse chronic inflammation pains. Additionally, miR-219 regulates the circadian clock, influencing the duration of the circadian clock period. …”

Computationally secure steganography based on speech synthesis by Menghan LI, Kejiang CHEN, Weiming ZHANG, Nenghai YU

“…The steganography theory of computing security has been proposed for a long time, but it has not been widely adopted for mainstream steganography using multimedia data as a carrier.The reason is that the prerequisite for calculating secure steganography is to obtain the accurate distribution of the carrier or to accurately sample according to the carrier distribution.However, naturally collected images and audio/video cannot meet this prerequisite.With the development of deep learning technology, various machine-generated media such as image generation and synthesized speech, have become more and more common on the Internet and then generated media has become a reasonable steganography carrier.Steganography can use normal generated media to cover up secret communications, and pursue in distinguishability from normal generated media.The distribution learned by some generative models is known or controllable, which provides an opportunity to push computational security steganography for practical use.Taking the widely used synthetic speech model as an example, a computationally secure symmetric key steganography algorithm was designed and implemented.The message was decompressed into the synthetic audio according to the decoding process of arithmetic coding based on the conditional probability of sample points, and the message receiver had the same generation model to complete the message extraction by reproducing the audio synthesis process.The public key steganography algorithm was additionally designed based on this algorithm, which provided algorithmic support for the realization of full-flow steganographic communication.Steganographic key exchange ensured the security of steganographic content and the security of steganographic behavior was also achieved.The theoretical analysis showed that the security of the proposed algorithm is determined by the randomness of the embedded message.And the steganography analysis experiment further verified that the attacker cannot distinguish the synthesized carrier audio from the encrypted audio.…”

Interaction Effects of Tannic Acid and Gluten on Bread-Making and Its Starch Digestion by Seonghyeon Nam, Oguz K. Ozturk, Jongbin Lim

“…TA strongly interacted with gluten via non-covalent interactions, mainly hydrogen bonds, and formed the major hydrogen bonds with six different glutamines (Q32, Q108, Q313, Q317, Q317, and Q349), which play a critical role in gluten network construction among amino acid residues of gluten. Additionally, TA showed lower binding affinity toward glutenin (−10.4 kcal/mol) compared to gliadin (−8.9 kcal/mol), implying stronger binding with glutenin. …”

Dust deposition characteristics on photovoltaic arrays investigated through wind tunnel experiments by Juan Wang, Weiwei Hu, Yunyun Wen, Fei Zhang, Xingcai Li

“…Notably, when the spacing between panels exceeds twice the panel height, the mutual influence on dust deposition becomes negligible, providing a quantifiable threshold for optimal panel spacing. Additionally, significant differences exist in the particle size characteristics of dust in the panel of the array, influenced by the installation parameters of panels and the direction of the incoming flow. …”
