Schrödinger Potentials with Polynomial Solutions of Heun-Type Equations by Géza Lévai, Tibor Soltész

“…The present review discusses the solution of the Heun, confluent, biconfluent, double confluent, and triconfluent equations in terms of polynomial expansions, and applies the results to generate exactly solvable Schrödinger potentials. Although there are more general approaches to solve these differential equations in terms of the expansions of certain special functions, the importance of polynomial solutions is unquestionable, as most of the known potentials are solvable in terms of the hypergeometric and confluent hypergeometric functions; i.e., Natanzon-class potentials possess bound-state solutions in terms of classical orthogonal polynomials, to which the (confluent) hypergeometric functions can be reduced. …”

Cell type-specific driver lines targeting the Drosophila central complex and their use to investigate neuropeptide expression and sleep regulation by Tanya Wolff, Mark Eddison, Nan Chen, Aljoscha Nern, Preeti Sundaramurthi, Divya Sitaraman, Gerald M Rubin

“…Genetic tools for manipulating individual cell types, and knowledge of what neurotransmitters and neuromodulators they express, will be required to gain mechanistic understanding of how these functions are implemented. We generated and characterized split-GAL4 driver lines that express in individual or small subsets of about half of CX cell types. …”

Impact of Two Hexaploidizations on Distribution, Codon Bias, and Expression of Transcription Factors in Tomato Fruit Ripeness by Yating Han, Wanjie Hu, Xiuling Wu, Xinyu Li, Junxi Luo, Ziying Zhu, Zhenyi Wang, Ying Liu

“…We identified and analyzed eight transcription factor families (TF families) associated with fruit ripening in the genomes of seven tomato species and two outgroup species, revealing the impact of whole-genome duplication (WGD) events on the structure and functional characteristics of these TF families. The results indicate that the Solanaceae Common Hexaploidization (SCH) event is the primary driver for the increase in the number of members within these TF families, leading to a more concentrated chromosomal distribution of family members. …”

The Flash Vacuum Expansion Process Increases the Bioaccessibility and Stability of Antioxidant Compounds in Papaya Puree During Digestion by Teresita de Jesús Castillo-Romero, Leticia Xochitl López-Martínez, Marco Antonio Salgado-Cervantes, Eber Addí Quintana-Obregón, Gustavo Adolfo González-Aguilar, Manuel Vargas-Ortiz

“…Our results show that the FVE process significantly enhances the bioaccessibility and stability of antioxidant compounds, providing a clear advantage over the conventional method. Fruit purees generated by FVE can be an ingredient that increases the functionality of foods (juices, nectars, purees, ice creams, and yogurt) aimed at people with digestive problems, baby food, or the use of fruits with low commercial value.…”

“…The data were then analyzed using a directed content analysis using a codebook generated using the TDF. Patients and family/friend caregivers appreciated hearing about PA from their OCPs, from initial diagnosis into follow-up appointments, and they saw PA as a way to take a break from cancer/medically focused care, and historical PA behaviours did not mean patients were more or less likely to be open about PA discussions. …”
