A comprehensive review of the genetic control of cooking time in dry beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) by Hannah R. Jeffery, Marcelo Efrén Murillo‐Quesada, Luis Barboza‐Barquero, Karen Cichy

“…The current evidence suggests that cooking time is increased by genetic factors that decrease the amount of soluble compounds in the cotyledons, including but not limited to 1) genes that increase the abundance of calcium‐binding storage proteins and/or de‐methylesterfied pectins paired with high inter‐ or intra‐cellular calcium levels (higher calcium levels can be caused by reduced levels of phytate) and 2) genes that increase insoluble condensed tannin/lignin content in the cotyledon cell walls. …”

Using a layer based on materials with a metal to semiconductor phase transition for electrothermal protection of solar cells by Alexander Tonkoshkur, Alexander Ivanchenko

“…One of the main problems in ensuring the reliability of solar electrical power sources is local overheating, when hot spots form in photovoltaic cells of solar arrays. It is currently considered that these negative phenomena are caused, among other things, by overvoltage in the electrical circuits of solar arrays. …”

Effects of Physiological Loading from Patient-Derived Activities of Daily Living on the Wear of Metal-on-Polymer Total Hip Replacements by Benjamin A. Clegg, Samuel Perry, Enrico De Pieri, Anthony C. Redmond, Stephen J. Ferguson, David E. Lunn, Richard M. Hall, Michael G. Bryant, Nazanin Emami, Andrew R. Beadling

“…To address this gap, this study applied patient-derived ADL profiles—jogging and stair negotiation—using a three-station hip simulator, obtained through 3D motion analysis of total hip arthroplasty patients, processed via a musculoskeletal multibody modelling approach to derive realistic hip contact forces (HCFs). The results indicate that jogging significantly increased wear rates compared to the ISO walking gait waveform, with wear increasing from 15.24 ± 0.55 to 28.68 ± 0.87 mm³/Mc. …”
