Antifungal Peptides SmAP_α1–21 and SmAP_γ27–44 Designed from Different Loops of DefSm2-D Have Distinct Modes of Action by Micaela Iturralde, Juan Pablo Bracho, Jessica A. Valdivia-Pérez, Fanny Guzmán, Ismael Malbrán, Sabina María Maté, María Laura Fanani, Sandra Vairo Cavalli

“…To exert its activity, SmAP_α1–21 initially enters through the basal and apical cells of <i>F. graminearum</i> conidia and then displays a general but non-homogeneous distribution in the cytoplasm of all conidial cells, in contrast. <b>Methods:</b> We analyzed, focusing on membrane interaction, the mode of action of SmAP_γ27–44, a peptide based on the γ-core of defensins DefSm2-D and DefSm3, and SmAP_α1–21, based on the α-core of DefSm2-D. …”

Assessing the effects of engineered oyster reefs on shoreline change using drones by Megan E. Geesin, Georgette L. Tso, Hannah Sirianni, Siddharth Narayan, Siddharth Narayan, Chris J. Baillie, Praveen D. Malali, Brandon J. Puckett, Justin T. Ridge, Rachel K. Gittman, Rachel K. Gittman

“…Drones (or small uncrewed aerial systems [sUAS]) coupled with structure-from-motion (SfM) photogrammetry have recently been suggested as a low-cost method that offers optimal spatial coverage, fine-scale resolution, and high vertical accuracy for monitoring changes around living shorelines.MethodsWe evaluated how using different vertical and horizontal uncertainty thresholds for detection of drone-based shoreline change can influence interpretation of performance of engineered oyster reefs on coastal morphology and vegetation. …”

Radwan, Phoebe Imms, Adam Clemente, Paul Beech, Mohammadreza Mohebbi, Alex Burmester, Juan F Domínguez D, Neda Jahanshad, Sophia I. Thomopoulos, Paul M. Thompson, Karen Caeyenberghs

“…However, previous QC methods have applied somewhat ambiguous rules for region error identification and inconsistent thresholds for image quality ratings.We developed ENIGMA’s Advanced Guide for parceLlation Error Identification (EAGLE-I) - a detailed training resource for identifying, classifying, and recording different error types within each individual region.Region level errors are identified by: (a) type, unconnected (affecting a single ROI) or connected (affecting multiple ROIs); (b) size (minor, intermediate, or major); and (c) directionality, overestimation or underestimation.Region level errors are recorded on a user friendly customised spreadsheet with standardised coding that subsequently enables automatic calculation of brain quality rating (pass, minor error, major error, fail, or discuss).…”
