Delineating Hot Zone and Lineaments within Vredefort Crater in South Africa through Aeromagnetic Data Inversions by Muhammad B Atif, Yongzhi Wang, Muhammad P Akhter, Bello Y Ayoola, Lawal K Muideen, Fahad Hameed, Kateryna Hlyniana, Bo Wen, Zubair Nabi, Dong Yuhao, Yakubu M Bashir

“…The trend of the Fractal exponent contour around the center suggests that the contact of the meteoritic body at that region occurs at an angle and then pushes southwards. The structural analysis results show linear structures that are believed to be faults/fractures trending in North-NorthEast (NNE), NorthEast (NE), EastWest (EW), and NorthSouth (NS) directions whose effects have been explained in previous works in the area and were also identified on the ground. …”

Stepwise amplification of circularly polarized luminescence in indium-based metal halides by regulating their structural dimension by Cui-Mi Shi, Haolin Lu, Jin-Yun Wang, Guankui Long, Liang-Jin Xu, Zhong-Ning Chen

“…These hybrids exhibit self-trapped excitons emission with near-unity PLQY, while the |g lum| boosts exponentially from 10− 3 to nearly 10− 1 as the structural dimension increases from 0D to 3D, and the highest |g lum| of 0.89 × 10− 1 has been achieved. Structural analysis and theoretical calculation indicate the increased structural dimension promotes the formation of helical structure and enlarges magnetic transition dipole moment, thus resulting in improved CPL performance. …”

Structural and Functional Characterization of N-Glycanase-1 Pathogenic Variants by Antje Banning, Lukas Hoeren, Isis Atallah, Ralph Orczyk, David Jacquier, Diana Ballhausen, Ritva Tikkanen

“…Furthermore, transcription of proteasomal subunits and NGLY1 mRNA splicing are impaired by some of these variants. Our in silico structural analysis shows that the Arg390Gln substitution results in destabilization of NGLY1 structure due to a loss of an ionic interaction network of Arg390 and potentially impairment of protein–protein interactions. …”
