Unilateral chewing of foods. Analysis of energy balance and peak power of the mandibular elevator muscles by Przemysław Stróżyk, Jacek Bałchanowski

“…The results indicate that (1) food height and texture significantly affect muscle energy and (2) the masticatory and medial pterygoid muscles generate more incredible energy and peak power on the working side than on the non working side, while the opposite was observed for the temporalis muscle and (3) comparative analysis showed that food position on the dental arch has a more significant effect on muscle peak power for foods with high texture heterogeneity than for foods with low texture heterogeneity.…”

Challenges in Detecting Ecological Interactions Using Sedimentary Ancient DNA Data by Fiona Margaret Callahan, Jacky Kaiyuan Li, Rasmus Nielsen

“…ABSTRACT With increasing availability of ancient and modern environmental DNA technology, whole‐community species occurrence and abundance data over time and space is becoming more available. Sedimentary ancient DNA data can be used to infer associations between species, which can generate hypotheses about biotic interactions, a key part of ecosystem function and biodiversity science. …”

Graph-based vision transformer with sparsity for training on small datasets from scratch by Peng Li, Lu Huang, Jin Li, Haiyan Yan, Dongjing Shan

“…In each block, queries and keys are calculated through graph convolutional projection based on the spatial adjacency matrix, while dot-product attention is used in another graph convolution to generate values. When using more attention heads, the queries and keys become lower-dimensional, making their dot product an uninformative matching function. …”

Prediction of mutational tolerance in HIV-1 protease and reverse transcriptase using flexible backbone protein design. by Elisabeth Humphris-Narayanan, Eyal Akiva, Rocco Varela, Shane Ó Conchúir, Tanja Kortemme

“…We find the model correctly captures a considerable fraction of protease and reverse-transcriptase mutational tolerance and shows comparable accuracy using either experimentally determined or computationally generated structural ensembles. Predictions of tolerated sequence space afforded by the model provide insights into stability-function tradeoffs in the emergence of resistance mutations and into strengths and limitations of the computational model.…”

Molecular tools for genome editing in plants: a synthetic overview by Nicolau Brito da Cunha, Michel Lopes Leite, Júlio Carlyle Macedo Rodrigues, Jéssica Carrijo, Fabrício Falconi Costa, Simoni Campos Dias, Elíbio Leopoldo Rech, Giovanni Rodrigues Vianna

“…However, the stochastic nature of the DNA delivery systems, with little control over where the genome modification occurred, required regulatory measures to ensure environmental, human, and animal safety, which has hindered the ability and speed to generate new and more adapted varieties. New technological advances have made it possible to increase the precision of genome modifications leading to a third generation of agricultural products. …”
