In vitro Interaction of HSV-1 ORF P with Both Thymidine Kinase (TK) and an Unidentified Cellular Protein

“…ORF P is also deleted in ICP34.5 negative mutants and to date, no definite function is attributed to it. An approach to analyze the function of a viral gene such as ORF P is to determine if this gene interacts with any of the cellular and viral proteins both in vitro and in vivo. …”

CyTOF as a suitable tool for stratification and monitoring of cancer patients by Barbara Seliger, Chiara Massa

“…Since mass cytometry is a powerful multiplex approach to decipher tumor intrinsic and tumor extrinsic effects of tumor immunotherapies, this review summarizes the use of this technology for determination of the frequency and functional status of immune cell populations within the tumor and in the blood leading to the identification of intratumoral/peripheral immune signatures that might serve as biomarkers (i) for treatment response and/or failure, (ii) for the stratification of tumor patients or (iii) for the identification of novel therapeutic targets.…”

Entropy and Multifractality in Relativistic Ion-Ion Collisions by Shaista Khan, Shakeel Ahmad

“…The findings reveal that Rényi’s order q information entropy could be another way to investigate the fluctuations in multiplicity distributions in terms of spectral function f(α), which has been argued to be a convenient function for comparison sake not only among different experiments but also between the data and theoretical models.…”

Large θ angle in two-dimensional large N CP N − 1 $$ {\mathbbm{CP}}^{N-1} $$ model by Tsubasa Sugeno, Takahiro Yokokura, Kazuya Yonekura

“…However, when θ/N is of order O 1 $$ \mathcal{O}(1) $$ , we encounter a problem about saddle points that would give larger contributions to the partition function than the true vacuum. We discuss why it might not be straightforward to resolve this problem.…”

Management of Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD) by Pringgodigdo Nugroho

“…Chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) is a common complication in CKD, which occurs early in the disease, and progresses as kidney function deteriorates. With declining kidney function, mineral homeostasis becomes progressively dysregulated, including alterations in several parameters such as calcium, phosphate, intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH). …”

Effect of Corrosion Damage on the Performance Level of a 25-Year-Old Reinforced Concrete Building by Hakan Yalciner, Serhan Sensoy, Ozgur Eren

“…Most of the structural problems observed under the impact of either earthquakes or service loads might occur due to corrosion. Therefore, prediction of the remaining service life of a corroding RC structure plays an important role to prevent serious premature damage. …”

Russian Phraseological Units with Zoonyms: Aspects of Comprehensive Description (A Case Study of Expressions Featuring Zoonym ‘volk’ [Wolf] by Quanming Wu, O. A. Gorban

“…It is demonstrated that these phraseological units characterize individuals based on their personality traits and behaviors, express varying degrees of negative emotions, and exhibit diverse stylistic nuances and grammatical structures. The functioning of these idioms is influenced by their composition (the expression featuring the zoonym ‘travlenyy volk’ [tricked wolf] is rarely encountered and primarily appears in literary texts), their figurative components (the expression ‘morskoy volk’ [sea wolf] is the most frequent, losing its association with predation and reflecting a stereotypical image of a sailor), lexical meanings (in literary texts, nominal phraseological units often serve a predicative function when characterizing individuals), and stylistic properties (the expressiveness and colloquial nature of the unit ‘khot' volkom voy’ [you might as well howl like a wolf] predominantly determine its use in literary texts within character dialogue).…”
