Extensive composable entropy for the analysis of cosmological data by Constantino Tsallis, Henrik Jeldtoft Jensen

“…Still, its intriguing area dependence points out the relevance of considering the form W(N)∼μNγ(μ>1;γ>0), W and N respectively being the total number of microscopic possibilities and the number of components; γ=1 corresponds to standard Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) statistical mechanics. For this W(N) asymptotic behavior, we make use of the group-theoretic entropic functional Sα,γ=k[ln⁡Σi=1Wpiα1−α]1γ(α∈R;S1,1=SBG≡−k∑i=1Wpiln⁡pi), first derived by P. …”

Positive impacts of typical desert photovoltaic scenarios in China on the growth and physiology of sand-adapted plants by Ruibing Meng, Ruibing Meng, Ruibing Meng, Zhongju Meng, Zhongju Meng, Zhongju Meng, Xiaomeng Ren, Jiale Cai, Jiale Cai, Jiale Cai, Xufang Tong, Xufang Tong, Xufang Tong

“…It also analyzed changes in chlorophyll (Chl), soluble sugar (SS), soluble protein (SP), enzyme activity, and other physiological indicators to evaluate the plant’s adaptive mechanisms to the presence of PV panels. The results showed that A. adsurgens near the PV panels exhibited significant growth advantages, with plant height, leaf length, and stem–leaf nutrient content greater than the those of the control (CK) showing an adaptive trend of elongation, thinning, and enlargement. …”

Positive and negative regulation of Gli activity by Kif7 in the zebrafish embryo. by Ashish Kumar Maurya, Jin Ben, Zhonghua Zhao, Raymond Teck Ho Lee, Weixin Niah, Ashley Shu Mei Ng, Audrey Iyu, Weimiao Yu, Stone Elworthy, Fredericus J M van Eeden, Philip William Ingham

“…While this implies a functional conservation of Cos2 and Kif7 between flies and vertebrates, the association of Kif7 with the primary cilium, an organelle absent from most Drosophila cells, suggests their mechanisms of action may have diverged. Here, using mutant alleles induced by Zinc Finger Nuclease-mediated targeted mutagenesis, we show that in zebrafish, Kif7 acts principally to suppress the activity of the Gli1 transcription factor. …”
