Mineralogy as a potential driver of irregular radiocarbon patterns among Icelandic fluvial carbon pools by Nora Gallarotti, Lisa Bröder, Julie Lattaud, Stephan Wartenweiler, Negar Haghipour, Timothy I Eglinton

“…After excluding other potential factors, we argue that this apparent age inversion among carbon pools in Icelandic rivers may reflect retention of DOC prior to its release to the aquatic continuum through interactions with high surface area minerals prevalent in the volcanic soils of Iceland. …”

Genetic association analysis of lipid-lowering drug target genes in chronic kidney disease by Yi Zhang, Yi Zhang, Guangyang Ou, Lei Peng, Jian Pan, Shaohua Zhang, Jianguo Shi

“…This Mendelian randomization (MR) study aims to elucidate the potential effects of lipid-lowering drug targets on CKD development.MethodsWe extracted 11 genetic variants encoding targets of lipid-lowering drugs from published genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics, encompassing LDLR, HMGCR, PCSK9, NPC1L1, APOB, ABCG5/ABCG8, LPL, APOC3, ANGPTL3, and PPARA. A Mendelian randomization analysis was conducted targeting these drug-related genes. …”

The effect of thioredoxin and prochymosin coexpression on the refolding of recombinant alpaca chymosin by S. V. Belenkaya, D. N. Shcherbakov, A. I. Chapoval, T. I. Esina, V. V. Elchaninov

“…The inclusion of thioredoxin in the composition of the chimeric protein, apparently, contributes to the process of correct reduction of disulfide bonds in the prochymosin molecule, which is reflected in the dynamics of the increase in the milk-clotting activity of alpaca chymosin during long-term storage.…”

Photocatalytic Degradation of Rhodamine B by C and N Codoped TiO2 Nanoparticles under Visible-Light Irradiation by Thuy Thi Thanh Le, Trinh Dinh Tran

“…The photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B in the range of 5–100 mg/L showed that the process followed the first-order kinetics according to the Langmuir–Hinshelwood model. The highest apparent rate constant (0.0427 min−1) was obtained when the initial concentration of Rhodamine B was 5 mg/L, whereas the former decreased with the increase in the initial concentration of Rhodamine B. …”

Effect of seasonality on the dynamics of an imitation-based vaccination model with public health intervention by Bruno Buonomo, Giuseppe Carbone, Alberto d'Onofrio

“…We heuristically explain this apparently paradoxical phenomenon as a beneficial effect of the phase when the transmission rate is under its average value: the reduction of transmission rate (for example during holidays) under its annual average over-compensates its increase during periods of intense contacts. …”

Complications of Estimating Hatchery Introgression in the Face of Rapid Divergence: A Case Study in Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) by Bradley Erdman, Wesley Larson, Matthew G. Mitro, Joanna D. T. Griffin, David Rowe, Justin Haglund, Kirk Olson, Michael T. Kinnison

“…However, we demonstrate through empirically informed simulations that distinct wild populations may potentially be hatchery‐founded and have since diverged through rapid genetic drift. Collectively, the apparent lack of hydrological population structure and potential for rapid drift in the Driftless Area suggest that many native populations may have been historically extirpated and refounded by stocking events. …”
