RNA guanine content and G-quadruplex structure tune the phase behavior and material properties of biomolecular condensates by Alfredo Vidal Ceballos, Anna Geissmann, Denize C. Favaro, Priyasha Deshpande, Shana Elbaum-Garfinkle

“…Combining microrheology, and fluorescence recovery after photobleaching, we measured a moderate increase in viscosity and decrease in dynamics for increasing G-content, and detected no measurable increase in elasticity as a function of G4 structure. Additionally, we found that while methylation of FMRP decreased RNA binding affinity, this modification did not impact condensate material properties suggesting that RNA sequence/structure can play a greater role than binding affinity in determining the emergent properties of condensates. …”

A New Fractional Boundary Element Model for Anomalous Thermal Stress Effects on Cement-Based Materials by Mohamed Abdelsabour Fahmy, Roqia Abdullah A. Jeli

“…The novelty of this work is the development of a new fractional boundary element model based on the Caputo derivative to investigate anomalous thermal stress effects on cement-based materials. To obtain the BEM integral equations for the proposed formulation, we employ the weighted residuals technique, with the anisotropic fundamental solution serving as the weighting function in the anomalous heat governing equation. …”
