Numerical study of sweep angle effects of the control fin in supercavitating flow by Van-Duyen Pham, Byoung-Kwon Ahn

“…Compared to the unswept fin, swept fins experienced reduced drag forces, with a maximum reduction of 48% observed at a sweep angle of 60°. In contrast, the unswept fin generated higher lift forces, showing increases of 50% and 23% compared to sweep angles of 60° and 30°, respectively. …”

Fishery stock dynamics in the Baltic Sea: The dichotomy between total allowable catch limits and spawning stock biomass by Rosciszewski-Dodgson Michael J., Cirella Giuseppe T.

“…The results indicated that stocks with a strong correlation between TAC limits and SSB can be managed more effectively, offering greater potential for sustainability. In contrast, those without this correlation need a more holistic approach that incorporates external ecological factors, as management alone may not suffice to prevent declines. …”

Human Oral Keratinocytes Challenged by Streptococcus sanguinis and Porphyromonas gingivalis Differentially Affect the Chemotactic Activity of THP-1 Monocytes by Huajing Li, Chaminda Jayampath Seneviratne, Lijian Jin

“…The HOKs challenged by S. sanguinis attracted a significantly higher number of THP-1 cell migration as compared with the control after 2 h or 18 h interaction (p<0.01). By contrast, P. gingivalis-treated HOKs exhibited a markedly reduced chemotactic effect on THP-1 cells (p<0.01, 2 h; p<0.05, 18 h). …”

Comparative Experiment on the Preparation of 99Mo/99mTc via Electron and Proton Irradiation of 100Mo by Desheng CHEN, Qinggang HUANG, Shiwei CAO, Zhi QIN

“…Direct production of 99mTc by proton accelerators，the advantage is higher yield，but other Tc isotopes，especially 99gTc，are produced alongside. In contrast，irradiating 100Mo by electrons not only can produce high-purity 99Mo with a simpler chemical separation process，but also make it suitable for preparing 99Mo-99mTc generators，which is relatively more advantageous.…”

“Heart Appearance” Infarction of the Pons: A Case Report by Keisuke Ishizawa, Mikiko Ninomiya, Yoshihiko Nakazato, Toshimasa Yamamoto, Nobuo Araki

“…“Heart appearance” on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a unique presentation of bilateral medial medullary infarction. In contrast, “heart appearance” infarction of the pons has rarely been featured in the medical literature. …”

Genetic markers in sheep meat breeding by A. V. Deykin, M. I. Selionova, A. Yu. Krivoruchko, D. V. Kovalenko, V. I. Truhachev

“…The problem of finding reliable communication between productivity features and genetic markers has not yet been solved, because productivity is a set of features (unlike, for example, monogenic diseases) and its expression depends on the balance between various physiological functions. By contrast, imbalance may cause reduced productivity as a whole even if there is a positive role of prevailing element. …”

Comparative metabolic study of planktonic and sessile cells in Salmonella Enteritidis ATCC 13076: Elucidating metabolic pathways driving biofilm formation. by Yuliany Guillín, Claudia Ortiz, William Hidalgo

“…In addition, putrescine and cadaverine, play crucial roles in growth, stress response, and cell stability In contrast, the most representative metabolites in sessile cells included lysine, adenosine, purines, pyrimidines, and citrate, mainly associated with maintaining cellular homeostasis, stress response and metabolic regulation. …”

Distinguishing physical vs. chemical templating mechanisms for inducing graphitization in novolac matrix by Sandra N Ike, Randy Vander Wal

“…Results revealed that hBN did not induce graphitization of novolac and was attributed to the absence of a sp² framework in hBN, unable to provide the crucial π-π interactions with the aromatic rings of the matrix. In contrast, the graphene additives mirrored one another and showed improved graphitization of the novolac. …”

Modulus Inversion Layer by Layer of Different Asphalt Pavement Structures by Mingming Cao, Wanqing Huang, Yiwen Zou, Guomin Liu

“…Moreover, the modulus of the pavement structural layer is determined by the material and structural characteristics, and its recommended empirical value or the value in the indoor test does not conform to the actual value of the site; by contrast, the inversion modulus obtained using the layer-by-layer inversion method is closer to the actual value, which can be used in the design of similar pavement structures to accumulate data for determining the material modulus or the pavement structure adjustment coefficient in the pavement structure.…”

Reducing the dynamic range of infrared images based on block-priority equalization and compression of histograms by S. I. Rudikov, V. Yu. Tsviatkou, A. P. Shkadarevich

“…This in-creases the local contrast of the image, but leads to high computational complexity, which is increasing while block size decreases. …”

Language-specific neural dynamics extend syntax into the time domain. by Cas W Coopmans, Helen de Hoop, Filiz Tezcan, Peter Hagoort, Andrea E Martin

“…The absence of strong effects of the left-corner model further suggests that its mildly predictive strategy does not represent Dutch language comprehension well, in contrast to what has been found for English. Understanding when the brain projects its knowledge of syntax onto speech, and whether this is done in language-specific ways, will inform and constrain the development of mechanistic models of syntactic structure building in the brain.…”

Ubiquitination of CD47 Regulates Innate Anti‐Tumor Immune Response by Qian Gou, Bingjun Yan, Yalan Duan, Yilei Guo, Jing Qian, Juanjuan Shi, Yongzhong Hou

“…Here it is found that TRAF2 bound to the C‐terminal of CD47 cytoplasmic fragment and induced its ubiquitination, leading to inhibition of CD47 autophagic degradation by disrupting its binding to LC3, which in turn inhibited macrophage phagocytosis and promoted tumor immune escape. In contrast, loss of TRAF2 facilitated CD47 autophagic degradation and inhibited tumor immune escape. …”

Polarimetric image recovery method with domain-adversarial learning for underwater imaging by Fei Tian, Jiuming Xue, Zhedong Shi, Hongling Luo, Wanyuan Cai, Wei Tao

“…Factors such as light scattering, absorption, and environmental noise can affect the quality of underwater images, leading to issues such as color shift, low contrast, and low definition. Polarization information benefits image recovery, and existing learning-based polarimetric imaging methods ignore multiple water types (viewed as domains) and domain generalization. …”

Legal Transplants, Legal Survivals, and Legal Revivals: Towards a Reconceptualisation of The Circulation of Legal Forms in Time and Space by Rafał Mańko

“…However, his notion of a legal transplant conflates two quite different realities: on the one hand, the borrowing of legal forms from other, simultaneously existing legal systems (such as the transplant of the Swiss Civil Code to Atatürk’s Turkey) and, on the other hand, the rediscovery of old legal forms and their “borrowing” from long defunct legal systems (such as the rediscovery of Justinian’s Corpus Iuris Civilis by medieval lawyers in Western Europe, and the infusion of Roman ideas about contract law into existing customary rules). Although there are certain formal similarities between the two phenomena, this article will argue that they should not be conflated, especially given the sharp socio-legal difference between borrowing from a living legal system (with a functioning judiciary and legal academia) and the cultural appropriation of historical legal material for contemporary legal purposes. …”
