Abstract Mollisols of the Eurasian steppe belt are highly productive soils whose hydraulic functioning depends on aggregate hierarchy and management-induced structural dynamics. This study compared the hydro-structural p...

Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) is linked to a deficiency of frataxin (FXN), a mitochondrial protein involved in iron-sulfur cluster synthesis. FXN is a small protein with an α/β fold followed by the C-terminal region (CTR)...

Structural inequality, the uneven distribution of resources and opportunities, influences health outcomes. However, the biological embedding of structural inequality in aging and dementia, especially among underrepresent...

In this work, we compare the performance of two structural indicators based on the degree of translational order up to the second coordination shell in three water models: SPC/E, TIP4P/2005, and TIP5P. Beyond directly co...

ABSTRACT Transition metal ions have been implicated in modulation the conformational behavior and aggregation of WT α‐synuclein (WT‐αSyn), associated with Parkinson's disease pathology. Nevertheless, the initial st...

Abstract Cavitation has a significant effect on the flow fields and structural behaviors of a centrifugal pump. In this study, the unsteady flow and structural behaviors of a centrifugal pump are investigated numerically...

Interferon response suppression by the respiratory syncytial virus relies on two unique nonstructural proteins, NS1 and NS2, that interact with cellular partners through high-order complexes. We hypothesized that two con...

Proteins are fundamental biological macromolecules responsible for a wide range of cellular functions. Traditionally, a central paradigm linked the amino acid sequence to a unique, ordered three-dimensional structure tha...

Abstract Research on the dynamics and driving mechanisms of submerged macrophytes communities during the natural restoration period of lakes with different trophic level remains relatively scarce. This study aims to inve...

Background: Neutron stars are astronomical systems with nucleons subjected to extreme conditions. Due to the longer range Coulomb repulsion between protons, the system has structural inhomogeneities. Several interactions...

Abstract Extreme kinematic limits of space-time symmetries reveal alternative forms of quantum behaviour. In the Carrollian limit the speed of light is taken to zero ( $$c \rightarrow 0$$ ): causal light cones collapse o...

The origin and nature of glassy dynamics presents one of the central enigmas of condensed-matter physics across a broad range of systems ranging from window glass to spin glasses. The spin-ice compound Dy2Ti2O7, which is...

Abstract Theileriosis, a tick-borne disease caused by apicomplexan parasites of the genus Theileria, poses a major constraint to livestock productivity worldwide. Existing chemotherapeutics are increasingly limited by ho...

Currently, laser-induced structural modifications in optical materials have been an active field of research. In this paper, we reported structural modifications in the bulk of sapphire due to picosecond (ps) laser filam...

BackgroundObesity is a major risk factor for lipotoxic cardiomyopathy, a process involving lipid metabolism disorders, inflammatory responses, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Salvia miltiorrhiza (Danshen), a traditional C...

Mutualistic networks are highly dynamic, characterized by high temporal turnover of species and interactions. Yet, we have a limited understanding of how the internal structure of these networks and the roles species pla...

Cycloparaphenylenes, being the smallest segments of carbon nanotubes, have emerged as prototypes of the simplest carbon nanohoops. Their unique structure-dynamics-optical properties relationships have motivated a wide va...

This article seeks to explore Jerry Pinto’s Em and the Big Hoom through a post-structuralist lens, whilst analysing the overall narrative and character dynamics. Central to this examination is the discussion of how lan...

This study examines the evolution of industrial waste generation within the Polish economy over the decade of 2010–2020. Rapid economic growth, structural shifts among sectors, and growing environmental awareness have ...

Immune responses and inflammation are not stand-alone processes linearly regulated by the canonical signaling pathways but complex systems biology events, which are deeply rooted in the metabolic state of cells and dynam...

Non-exudative age-related macular degeneration (NE-AMD) is the leading blindness cause in the elderly. Clinical and experimental evidence supports that early alterations in macular retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) mitoch...

This study employs molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to systematically investigate the effects of the degree of polymerization (DP 10, 20, and 35) on the mechanical and tribological properties of nitrile butadiene rubb...

The paper investigates the process of liquid-phase sintering of amorphous iron-based nanoparticles by the method of molecular dynamics simulations. The classical molecular dynamics package LAMMPS was used for modeling. V...

The article examines structural characteristics of registered unemployment in Ukraine in 2021–2024 in conditions of socio-economic instability and martial law. The relevance of the study is due to the need to assess ch...
