Experiments in globalisation, food security and land use decision making. by Calum Brown, Dave Murray-Rust, Jasper van Vliet, Shah Jamal Alam, Peter H Verburg, Mark D Rounsevell

“…Both outcomes are subject to the responses of individual land managers to economic and environmental stimuli, and these responses are known to be variable and often (economically) irrational. We investigate the consequences of stylised food security policies and globalisation of agricultural markets on land use patterns under a variety of modelled forms of land manager behaviour, including variation in production levels, tenacity, land use intensity and multi-functionality. …”

ITER NBI operational window and power availability constraints due to shine-through losses by P. Vincenzi, M. Schneider, P. Veltri, J.F. Artaud, A. Loarte, S. Nicolici, C. Poggi, A.R. Polevoi, A. Snicker

“…We then present a new heuristic formula which permits the calculation of the ST fraction and the minimum plasma density that permits ITER NBI operations as a function of global variables. This allows for establishing operational limits for Hydrogen and Deuterium NBI in Hydrogen, Deuterium, and Deuterium–Tritium plasmas. …”

Developments in the study of the role of lactate metabolism in the genesis and progression of thyroid cancer by Lei Shi, Lei Shi, Lei Shi, Xuyang Zhong, Jiafeng Liu, Yong Ying, Zibing Liao, Jin Liu, Liwen Zhao, Jianing Zhong, Jianing Zhong, Xiangtai Zeng, Xiangtai Zeng

“…We systematically dissect the multifaceted regulatory circuits governing lactate metabolism by integrating three pivotal dimensions: (i) canonical signaling cascades; (ii) tumor-microenvironmental variables, most notably hypoxia and acidosis; and (iii) the emerging epigenetic paradigm of lactylation, which dynamically reprograms the catalytic efficiency of rate-limiting enzymes and reshapes the transcriptional landscape of metabolic genes, thereby precisely coordinating lactate homeostasis. …”
