X-Ray micro-tomography unveils the internal features of volcanic ash aggregates by Pietro Gabellini, Eduardo Rossi, Raffaello Cioni, Marco Pistolesi, Lukas P. Baumgartner, Costanza Bonadonna

“…Nonetheless, aggregation processes are still not adequately parametrized, mostly due to the low preservation potential of most aggregate types. We present here the first, detailed structural and morphological characterization of the major aggregate types, combining an innovative field collection strategy, which allows for the original aggregate structure to be preserved at deposition, coupled to X-Ray micro-tomography. …”

Human lineage mutations regulate RNA-protein binding of conserved genes NTRK2 and ITPR1 involved in human evolution by Min Zhao, Weichen Song, Shunying Yu, Wenxiang Cai, Guan Ning Lin

“…Among these genes, NTRK2 and ITPR1 had the most aggregated evidence of functional importance, suggesting their essential roles in cognition and bipedalism.Conclusions Our findings suggest that a small subset of human-specific mutations have contributed to human speciation through impacts on post-transcriptional modification of critical brain-related genes.…”

Instantaneous Frequency Analysis Based on High-Order Multisynchrosqueezing Transform on Motor Current and Application to RV Gearbox Fault Diagnosis by Shiyi Chai, Kai Xu

“…The experimental results show that the HMSST has the smallest Rényi entropy value of 9.13, implying that the most aggregated time–frequency representation (TFR) of the energy is obtained. …”

Aggregation and disaggregation features of the human proteome by Tomi A Määttä, Mandy Rettel, Sindhuja Sridharan, Dominic Helm, Nils Kurzawa, Frank Stein, Mikhail M Savitski

“…During recovery, most aggregating proteins disaggregated with a rate proportional to the aggregation propensity: larger loss in solubility was counteracted by faster disaggregation. …”

Revisiting Spatiotemporal Changes in Global Urban Expansion during 1995 to 2015 by Yang Zhang, Huiying Wang, Peng Xie, Yingxue Rao, Qingsong He

“…Urban expansion in Oceania was the most aggregated, whereas in Asia, it was the most diffuse. (4) Apart from African CRs, the urban expansion rate in most CRs was higher than the population urbanization rate, so urbanization does not pose a significant threat to global food security. …”

Extrusion Process Optimisation and Product Characterisation of Tanquan Millet Powder by Tingting GAO, Chenrui FU, Jingxue LIU, Fenglin LI, Li ZHANG

“…The microstructure of TQM modified powder was severely damaged, with almost no intact millet flour particles, mostly aggregates formed by proteins and broken starch granules. …”
