The Relationship between Urban Functional Structure and Insomnia: An Exploratory Analysis in Beijing, China by Sirui Chen, Lijun Xing, Yu Liu, Jiwei Xu

“…There is growing evidence that environmental factors may be associated with sleep disorders, but few studies have explored the relationship between insomnia and urban functional structure from a spatial perspective. This study collected multi-source big data (e.g., insomnia posts on Weibo, locations of urban facilities on Baidu) and explored the effects of different urban spatial element configurations on residents’ insomnia. …”

Research Progress on Anti-floating Design of Underground Structures by WANG Sheng-li, DONG Shu-qing, HUANG Yu, SONG Zhi-han, WU Tong, ZHENG Shan-suo

“…We also review the common scientific challenges and technical bottlenecks in current studies on the anti-floating performance of underground structures. The results show that: (1) the selection of anti-floating water levels requires comprehensive consideration of hydrogeological conditions and monitoring data, while there is currently no unified standard for multi-layer groundwater conditions. …”

Data-driven analyses of human antibody variable domain germlines: pairings, sequences and structural features by Clarissa A. Seidler, Vera A. Spanke, Jakob Gamper, Alexander Bujotzek, Guy Georges, Klaus R. Liedl

“…Our findings indicate that specific physicochemical properties of single amino acid residues may influence the compatibility and affinity of heavy and light chain combinations. Further structural analyses based on antibody Fv fragments deposited in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) provide insights into the underlying structural features driving these pairing preferences, including a novel definition for the residues constituting the VH-VL interface, based on a collection of over 3500 structures. …”
