Total Drell–Yan in the flavorful SMEFT by Gudrun Hiller, Lara Nollen, Daniel Wendler

“…We also find that limits have only mild dependence on lepton flavor patterns; hierarchies in quark flavors are driven by the parton distribution functions. The strongest constraints are on couplings involving the first and second generation quarks, exceeding 10 TeV. …”

Methylation and gene expression patterns in adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma highlight a panel of genes associated with disease progression-free survival by Junier Marrero-Gutiérrez, Ana Carolina Bueno, Ana Carolina Bueno, Clarissa Silva Martins, Rui Milton Patrício Silva-Júnior, Antônio Carlos dos Santos, Marcelo Volpon Santos, Luiz Eduardo Wildemberg, Ximene Lima da Silva Antunes, Monica R. Gadelha, Ayrton Custodio Moreira, Ricardo Zorzetto Nicoliello Vêncio, Sonir Roberto R. Antonini, Margaret de Castro

“…Clustering analyses based on the methylation levels of probes and expression levels of the stringently filtered 212- and 37-gene sets further confirmed these two distinct ACP subgroups. Functional enrichment analysis highlighted key roles in synaptic modulation, nervous system development, cell adhesion, as well as pathways linked to RAS signaling, GTPase activity, and membrane potential regulation.ConclusionAlthough clinical characteristics were largely comparable between the clusters, ACP-B patients exhibited shorter median progression-free survival, suggesting a more aggressive phenotype. …”

ON POTENTIAL REPRESENTATIONS OF THE DISTRIBUTION LAW OF RARE STRONGEST EARTHQUAKES by M. V. Rodkin, V. F. Pisarenko, Ngo Thi Lu, T. A. Rukavishnikova

“…Assessment of long-term seismic hazard is critically dependent on the behavior of tail of the distribution function of rare strongest earthquakes. Analyses of empirical data cannot however yield the credible solution of this problem because the instrumental catalogs of earthquake are available only for a rather short time intervals, and the uncertainty in estimations of magnitude of paleoearthquakes is high. …”

Reflections and trajectories for interdisciplinary research on the energy transition by Cesare Sposito, Francesca Scalisi

“…The goals of climate neutrality by 2050 and the reduction of CO2 emissions by 55% (compared to the 1990 level) by 2030 (European Commission, 2019, 2021) pose the European Union, and even more so the rest of the world, with several complex issues, including a significant increase in ‘clean’ energy production from alternative and renewable sources, the reduction of energy poverty, greater security of energy supply and a drastic decrease in dependence on energy imports; at the same time, the aim is to foster modern economic growth decoupled from the use of non-renewable resources, the creation of new jobs, and to generate environmental and health benefits, objectives with inevitable cultural, political, economic, production, technological and social implications to be addressed both within one’s borders and in foreign policy. …”

Effects of local intelligent energy systems integration by F. L. Byk, L. S. Myshkina

“…The energy sector of Russia is transforming, followed by total electrification and gasification, which has radically changed the fuel landscape and allowed enterprises in various sectors of the economy to create their energy sources based on gas turbine and gas piston cogeneration plants. There are more and more balanced local intelligent energy systems for various purposes, more often operating autonomously, since the process of their integration with the unified energy system of Russia is impossible without power and energy output, which is contrary to the interests of generating companies, territorial grid organizations and the system operator. …”
