Fungi promote cross-domain interactions even in deep anoxic mangrove sediments by Ming Sheng Ng, Nathaniel Soon, Min Yi Chin, Sze Koy Ho, Lynn Drescher, Mohamad Azlin Bin Sani, Kiah Eng Lim, Benjamin J. Wainwright, Ying Chang

“…Co-occurrence networks were then constructed to investigate the roles of fungi in these sediment layers, where fungi were consistently identified as keystone taxa in maintaining the microbial network topology, with co-domain interactions constituting more than half of all interactions. Even in the deepest layer, fungal nodes still retained high betweenness centralities, acting as network hubs to potentially augment microbial interactions vital for the functioning of the overall ecosystem. …”

Mathematical model of the rubber-cord shell of rotation for pneumatic dampers by V. S. Korneyev, V. V. Shalay

“…Equilibrium equations are compiled in the form that excludes the emergence of a singularity at special points and does not require special techniques and tools for integration. To construct the constitutive relations reflecting the structural heterogeneity of the material and described by smooth functions of spatial coordinates, the principle of virtual displacements is used. …”

Eveningness and distinctness of the circadian rhythm in men are related to altered neural responses to gain and loss by Patrycja Scislewska, Michal Rafal Zareba, Julia Lengier, Aaron E. Schirmer, Piotr Bebas, Iwona Szatkowska

“…Abstract Circadian rhythmicity is considered to be one of the factors modulating the functions of the brain’s motivational system. To date, research has primarily focused on the unidimensional morningness-eveningness continuum (phase of the circadian rhythm), while the second dimension – distinctness (subjective amplitude) has been neglected. …”

Full-Wave Simulation of a Helmholtz Radiofrequency Coil for Magnetic Resonance Applications by Giulio Giovannetti, Denis Burov, Angelo Galante, Francesca Frijia

“…Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive diagnostic technique able to provide information about the anatomical, structural, and functional properties of different organs. A magnetic resonance (MR) scanner employs radiofrequency (RF) coils to generate a magnetic field to excite the nuclei in the sample (transmit coil) and pick up the signals emitted by the nuclei (receive coil). …”
