Background:
BMP signaling is responsible for the second body axis patterning in Bilateria and in the bilaterally symmetric members of the bilaterian sister clade Cnidaria—corals and sea anemones. However, medusozoan cnidarians (jellyfish, hydroids) are radially symmetric, and yet their genomes contain BMP signaling components. This evolutionary conservation suggests that BMP signaling must have other functions not related to axial patterning, which keeps BMP signaling components under selective ... read more

In the ethics of artificial intelligence literature, there is increasing attention to knowledge-related issues such as explainability, bias, and epistemic bubbles. This paper investigates epistemic problems raised by AI and their normative implications through the lens of the concept of epistemic agency. How is epistemic agency impacted by AI? The paper argues that the use of artificial intelligence and data science, while offering more information, risks to influence the formation and revision ... read more

Ionic liquids exhibit distinctive solvation and reactive properties, making them highly relevant for applications in energy storage, catalysis, and CO2 capture. However, their complex molecular interactions, including proton transfer and physisorption/chemisorption, necessitate advanced computational efforts to model them at the atomic scale. This review examines key molecular dynamics approaches for simulating ionic liquid reactivity, including quantum-mechanical methods, conventional reactive ... read more

Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) are biocompatible polymers exhibiting lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior, making them valuable in various applications, including drug delivery and tissue engineering. This study addresses the atomistic-level understanding of ELP self-assembly, focusing on their internal structural dynamics. Conventional proton-detected nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy faces limitations in studying ELP aggregates due to accelerated proton exchange pr... read more

Recent research indicates an involvement of microautophagy in the uptake of seed storage proteins (SSPs) into the plant-specific protein storage vacuole (PSV), particularly in cereal grains. However, because microautophagy plays a vital role in cellular homeostasis by degrading and recycling cellular components, we question whether it is a suitable term for a process involved in long-term storage. Additionally, because fission-type microautophagy shares mechanistic similarities with the intralum... read more

In this paper we prove a conjecture of Kudla and Rallis, see [12, Conjecture V.3.2]. Let χ be a unitary character, s ∈ C and W a symplectic vector space over a non-archimedean field with symmetry group G(W ). Denote by I(χ, s) the degenerate principal series representation of G(W ⊕ W ). Pulling back I(χ, s) along the natural embedding G(W )×G(W ) ↪→ G(W ⊕ W ) gives a representation IW,W (χ, s) of G(W ) × G(W ). Let π be an irreducible smooth complex representation of G(W ). We then prove

This paper presents a description of the main conditional structures in the Šāwi Bedouin variety as spoken in the Harran-Urfa region of southeastern Turkey. Compared with most other Arabic dialects, Harran-Urfa Arabic stands out due to its large number of conditional markers. There are eight different particles in use if we include the marker for irreal wishes, twelve including the compound forms, and eighteen if we count those with and without pronoun suffixes separately. Due to its status as a... read more

The conformally invariant scalar equation permits the Robin boundary condition at infinity of asymptotically AdS spacetimes. We show how the dynamics of a conformal cubic scalar field on the Reissner-Nordström-anti-de Sitter background depend on the black hole size, charge, and choice of the boundary condition. We study the whole range of admissible charges, including the extremal case. In particular, we observe the transition in stability of the field for large black holes at the specific criti... read more

Searching for the Neolithic along the Vardar-Morava River corridor revealed several new sites in a previously underexplored region. Multidisciplinary investigations at Svinjarička Čuka identified Neolithic and Bronze Age occupation. Highlights presented here demonstrate the potential of this new key site for enriching our understanding of the prehistory of the Balkans.
