Sex differences and autism: brain function during verbal fluency and mental rotation. by Felix D C C Beacher, Eugenia Radulescu, Ludovico Minati, Simon Baron-Cohen, Michael V Lombardo, Meng-Chuan Lai, Anne Walker, Dawn Howard, Marcus A Gray, Neil A Harrison, Hugo D Critchley

“…This suggests that the neurobiology of autism: 1) may overlap with mechanisms underlying typical sex-differentiation or 2) alternately reflect sex-specificity in how autism is expressed in males and females. Here we used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to test these alternate hypotheses. …”

Dynamic energy conversion in protein catalysis: From brownian motion to enzymatic function by Sarfaraz K. Niazi

“…Recent advances in computational biology and experimental techniques reveal that enzymatic catalysis fundamentally depends on proteins' ability to harness thermal energy through conformational fluctuations. Rather than functioning as rigid molecular locks, proteins operate as dynamic machines that continuously sample different structural states, with α-helices and β-sheets acting as sophisticated energy transduction elements that capture Brownian motion and channel it toward productive chemical transformations. …”

Contrast subgraphs catch patterns of altered functional connectivity in autism spectrum disorder by Tommaso Lanciano, Giovanni Petri, Tommaso Gili, Francesco Bonchi

“…In this work, we bring order to the debate using a network comparison technique to capture mesoscopic-scale differential patterns of functional connectedness. In particular, we leverage recent algorithmic advances in extracting contrast subgraphs to identify maximally different mesoscopic connectivity structures between two sets of networks from typically developed individuals and ASD subjects across different developmental stages. …”

Probing Environmental Dependence of High-Redshift Galaxy Properties with the Marked Correlation Function by Emy Mons, Charles Jose

“…This suggests that within a given sample, LBGs with high UV magnitudes or colors are more likely to form pairs at these scales than predicted by the two-point angular correlation function. Moreover, the amplitude of the marked correlation function is generally higher for LBG samples compared to that of $z \sim 0$ galaxies from previous studies. …”
