Predicting gut microbiota dynamics in obese individuals from cross-sectional data by Ena Melvan, Ena Melvan, Andrew P. Allen, Tea Vuckovic, Irena Soljic, Antonio Starcevic

“…While gut microbiota has been linked to obesity, most research has focused on static taxonomic composition rather than the dynamic interactions between microbial taxa.MethodsWe applied BEEM-Static, a generalized Lotka-Volterra model, to cross-sectional 16S rRNA gut microbiome data from six public datasets, comprising 2,435 profiles from lean and obese individuals.ResultsA total of 57 significant microbial interactions were identified in obese individuals (79% negative), compared to 37 in lean individuals (92% negative). …”

Interfacial Shear Properties of Red Clay and Polyurethane with Different Densities by Feng Cheng, Xinran Zhang, Qingwang Li

“…The test results show: The incorporation of polyurethane has a significant promoting effect on the interfacial shear strength, there is a linear positive correlation between the interfacial shear strength and the density of polyurethane; The shear strengths of the composites with densities of 0.2 g/cm³, 0.5 g/cm³, and 0.8 g/cm³ are 1.53 times, 1.60 times, and 2.24 times that of pure red clay respectively, the optimal polyurethane density is between 0.5 g/cm³–0.8 g/cm³; The bilinear finite element model can effectively simulate indoor shear tests, and the average error of the simulated shear strength result is within 9.4%, which provides an effective method for understanding the interfacial shear performance of the composite body.…”

Theoretical study on the effect of carbon graphenous nanoclusters on the stability and capacity of polyamide in a nanocomposite by E. M. Demianenko, M. I. Теrets, Yu. I. Sementsov, S. M. Makhno, V. S. Kuts, A. G. Grebenyuk, M. T. Kartel

“…The less value of the interaction energy (-325.0  kJ/mol) for the nanocomposite with C96H24 species is due to the insufficient size of the selected model for the graphene matrix. The analysis of the hydrogen bond lengths between the oxygen atom of carbonyl group and hydrogen one of amino group indicates that, regardless of length of linkage of the polymeric chain of polyamide (monomer and dimer) and the size of the graphene-like matrix (C96H24 and C110H26) in the nanocomposite, the hydrogen bond in composites is shorter in comparison with a those values in complexes without a carbon matrix. …”
