Identification of small molecules that disrupt vacuolar function in the pathogen Candida albicans. by Helene Tournu, Jennifer Carroll, Brian Latimer, Ana-Maria Dragoi, Samantha Dykes, James Cardelli, Tracy L Peters, Karen E Eberle, Glen E Palmer

“…The fungal vacuole is a large acidified organelle that performs a variety of cellular functions. At least a sub-set of these functions are crucial for pathogenic species of fungi, such as Candida albicans, to survive within and invade mammalian tissue as mutants with severe defects in vacuolar biogenesis are avirulent. …”

Development and application of multi-functional flexible lifting cabin for mine rescue by Zujie ZOU

“…In order to solve the problem of anti-torque in the process of lifting and lowering rescue wire rope, a split device based on explosion-proof slip ring is developed to realize the split between the wire rope and the lifting cabin, so as to avoid the lifting chamber driving the rotation of the wire rope during the rescue process, interfering with the signal transmission of the wire rope and damaging the wire rope braid structure, and thus realize the dual functions of communication wire rope lifting and communication. …”

TYPOLOGY AND FUNCTIONS OF READING PERFORMANCE IN CONTEMPORARY UKRAINIAN CHILDREN’S AND ADOLESCENT LITERATURE by Oleksandra A. Visych, Tetiana V. Mykhalchuk

“…The article aims to define and characterise the ways of representing reading as a performance in contemporary Ukrainian literature for children and young adults, as well as to explore the artistic function of reading scenes within these works. To achieve this goal, we will employ the foundations of performative theory, particularly its literary applications, substantiated in the works of Peter Kivy and Päivi Kosonen, along with a comparative and typological method, drawing on concepts from receptive aesthetics and transactional reading theory, which we have adapted to analyse in-text reading scenes in order to uncover the dynamics of interaction between the imaginary reader and the imaginary author. …”
