Developing organization structure of retail enterprises (on the example of the Czech Republic) by Aleksandr L. Bobkov, Igor V. Denisov, Oksana V. Kuchmaeva

“…The authors’ hypothesis is that these two types of structures – consequent and parallel – replace each other dialectically, and change qualitatively in the process of enterprises growth, but, at the same time, they maintain their constitutive properties at each level of organizations development.The retail sector was chosen as the object of analysis, since the generalized organizational structure in it is characterized by separate sales outlets, which makes it possible to conduct statistical processing of data. …”

Comparative transcriptome analysis revealed the influence of sucrose on flavor and taste quality of Coffea arabica and C. canephora varieties by Lifang Huang, Lisong Hu, Yu Fan, Xiaoyang Wang, Yunping Dong, Fupeng Li, Yuzhou Long, Lin Yan, Jie Meng

“…In this study, coffee beans at different developmental stages from Arabica #161 (A161, high-sucrose variety) and Robusta #6 (R6, low-sucrose variety) were sampled to perform transcriptomic analysis. Most differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between them were enriched in sucrose-related metabolisms and the FT-related metabolism processes: caffeine biosynthesis, phenylpropanoid and flavonoid pathway, terpenoid metabolism. …”

Multi-atlas multi-modality morphometry analysis of the South Texas Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center postmortem repository by Nicolas Honnorat, Mariam Mojtabai, Karl Li, Jinqi Li, David Michael Martinez, Tanweer Rashid, Morgan Smith, Margaret E Flanagan, Elyas Fadaee, Morgan Fox Torres, Mallory Keating, Kevin Bieniek, Sudha Seshadri, Mohamad Habes

“…In this work, we report the very first morphometry analysis conducted with this new data set. We describe the processing pipelines that were specifically developed to exploit the available MRI sequences, and we explain how we addressed several postmortem neuroimaging challenges, such as the separation of brain tissues from fixative fluids, the need for updated brain atlases, and the tissue contrast changes induced by brain fixation. …”
