Pediatric glioblastoma is a complex dynamical disease that is difficult to treat due to its multiple adaptive behaviors driven largely by phenotypic plasticity. Integrated data science and network theory pipelines offer novel approaches to studying glioblastoma cell fate dynamics, particularly phenotypic transitions over time. Here we used various single- ...

Modelling population connectivity is central to biodiversity conservation and often relies on resistance surfaces reflecting multi-generational gene flow. ResistanceGA (RGA) is a common optimization framework for parameterizing these surfaces by maximizing the fit between genetic distances and cost distances using maximum likelihood population effect mode ...

In this study the optimum topology distribution of the magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) layer in an adaptive sandwich plate is investigated. The adaptive sandwich plate consists of an MR elastomer layer embedded between two thin elastic plates. A finite element model has been first formulated to derive the governing equations of motion. A design optimiz ...

Heteroatom-doped p-conjugated systems have been exploited for electronic device applications. Phosphole-containing backbones are particularly intriguing with regard to electron delocalization and ultimately control over the photophysical, redox, and charge transfer characteristics. However, practical application of these materials commonly relies on well- ...

For over a century, the filamentous Ascomycete fungus Aspergillus niger has played a pivotal role in the industrial production of citric acid. A critical fermentation parameter that sustains high-yield citric acid accumulation is the suboptimal concentration of manganese(II) ions in the culture b ...

This study presents a pioneering investigation of hybrid bismuth-tin (BiSn) liquid metal particles for photothermal applications. It is shown that the intrinsic core-shell structure of liquid metal particles can be instrumentalized to combine the broadband absorption characteristics of defect-rich nano-oxides and the high light-to-heat conversion efficien ...

The Beliefs about Losing Control Inventory (BALCI) was developed to assess negative beliefs about losing control in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Since its creation, research and theoretical work support negative beliefs about losing control as a potential transdiagnostic construct. The present study revised and expanded the original BALCI to be mo ...

The title compound, [Sn(C6H5)Cl3(C12H8N2)], which was obtained by the reaction between 1,10-phenanthroline and phenyl-tin trichloride in methanol, exhibits intra-molecular hydrogen-bonding inter-actions involving the chlorine and hydrogen atoms. Crystal cohesion is ensured by inter-molecular C-H?Cl hydrogen bonds, as well as Y-X?p and p-stacking inter-act ...

Despite the ubiquity of musical activities, little is known about the specificity of their association with executive functions. In this cross-sectional study, we examined this relationship as a function of age. Our main hypotheses were that executive functions would decline in older age, that this relationship would be reduced in singers and instrumental ...
