STYLISTIC MEANS OF IMPLEMENTING THE IDEA OF THE WORLD’S IRIDESCENCE IN PH.K. DICK’S “UBIK” IN THE CONTEXT OF TRANSLATION TRANSFORMATIONS by Svitlana F. Aleksenko, Larysa I. Taranenko

“…The idea of the world’s iridescence in the novel is brought about by the literary work’s fluctuating plot convolutions stemming from seemingly incoherent planes of different sections of the novel: a mosaic of the primary diegesis together with several hypo-diegeses comes across as a kind of an ontic hazy maze building up to an overall effect of the world’s fluidity and oscillation. …”

Diverse conditions support near-zero growth in yeast: Implications for the study of cell lifespan by Jordan Gulli, Emily Cook, Eugene Kroll, Adam Rosebrock, Amy Caudy, Frank Rosenzweig

“…However, this culture method does not accurately capture two major classes of long-lived metazoan cells: cells that are terminally differentiated and metabolically active for periods that approximate animal lifespan (e.g. cardiac myocytes), and cells that are pluripotent and metabolically quiescent (e.g. stem cells). Here, we consider alternative ways of cultivating Saccharomyces cerevisiae so that these different metabolic states can be explored in non-dividing cells: (i) yeast cultured as giant colonies on semi-solid agar, (ii) yeast cultured in retentostats and provided sufficient nutrients to meet minimal energy requirements, and (iii) yeast encapsulated in a semisolid matrix and fed ad libitum in bioreactors. …”

The causal and scaling relationships among anatomical traits explain tree mortality in subtropical forests under extremely high temperatures by Danrong Wang, Hong Chen, Yongchuan Yang

“…Our results revealed that: as air temperature increased with declining altitude, 1) deciduous and evergreen species exhibited fundamentally different adaptive pathways to thermal stress: deciduous species reduced crown mortality through increased midrib xylem area and enhanced twig transpiration, indicating a resource conservation strategy, whereas evergreen species experienced elevated mortality due to reduced midrib xylem investment, representing a resource abandonment strategy; 2) these contrasting survival strategies stem from distinct tissue allocation patterns—deciduous species maintain proportional increases in midrib phloem tissue relative to xylem expansion, while evergreens disproportionately reduce phloem allocation. …”
