Mechanism of Substrate Activation by Tryptophan Hydroxylase: A Computational Study by Dr. Thirakorn Mokkawes, Dr. Sam P. deVisser

“…Subsequently, large active‐site cluster models containing more than 200 atoms were created, and oxygen atom transfer reactions were studied. The calculations predict that the co‐factor tetrahydrobiopterin binds covalently to the iron center and react with a dioxygen molecule to form an iron(IV)‐oxo species and pterin‐4a‐carbinolamine in a stepwise manner with small energy barriers (<5 kcal mol−1) along an exergonic pathway. …”

Experimental and analytical investigation of hydraulic conductivity, energy dissipation, and drag forces in gradually varied flow conditions through rockfill media by Jafar Chabokpour

“…The shear forces along the water surface profile varied generally between 0.2 and 1.0 N/m² for all test runs, depending on the flow conditions and the media characteristics. Calculated hydraulic conductivity ranges from 0.05 to 0.15 m/s and can be explained primarily by variations of the flow depth and changes to the particle size distribution along the channel. …”

Digitalization: new risks for people with disabilities. Problem statement by N. N. Meshcheryakova, E. N. Rogotneva

“…Inattention within the framework of digitalization programs to the fact that disability has an individual trajectory and for the full use of modern information and communication technologies, people with disabilities need assistive technologies, the costs for them, the compatibility of auxiliary software with the design of websites is one of the main reasons for the emergence of digital inequality in this category of the population.To minimize digital barriers, depending on the individual needs of disabled people, it is proposed:1) to expand the functions, competencies and technical capabilities of social workers and / or organize technological support of life activities by volunteers;2) to develop programs of additional information education;3) to calculate the costs of assistive technologies for individual nosologies to provide targeted social assistance;4) to encourage and subsidize the development of assistive technologies within the framework of state financial assistance to high-tech developments;5) to take into account the special needs of people with disabilities in digitalization programs.…”
