TECHNOLOGY-ASSISTED TEACHING ACTIVITIES IN AN ESAP CONTEXT: AN ECOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE by Adina-Maria MEZEI

“…The present article focuses on the design of various technology-assisted teaching activities as part of a practical English for Specific Academic Purposes (ESAP) course addressed to undergraduate students in Biology and Geology, Babeș-Bolyai University. As more and more AI-assisted tools – ‘traditional’ or generative AI (GenAI) – are becoming readily available to the general public, there is a growing pressure on educators to employ such tools in the classroom in order to foster technology-enhanced learning. …”

When DNA Repair Backfires – Trabectedin Induces DNA Breaks in Active Genes by Vakil Takhaveev, Kook Son, Visesato Mor, Hobin Yu, Emma Dillier, Nicola Zilo, Nikolai J. L. Püllen, Dmitri Ivanov, Helle D. Ulrich, Shana J. Sturia, Orlando D. Schärer

“…Many anticancer drugs are ineffective in tumors that have functional DNA repair mechanisms. In contrast, trabectedin, a tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid marine natural product, stands out as it is more lethal to cancer cells with active DNA repair, particularly transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER), making it an intriguing alternative to standard chemotherapeutic agents. …”

Optimizing Pre-Trained Code Embeddings With Triplet Loss for Code Smell Detection by Ali Nizam, Ertugrul Islamoglu, Omer Kerem Adali, Musa Aydin

“…Although code embedding-based systems have been successfully applied to various source code analysis tasks, further research is required to enhance code embedding for better code analysis capabilities, aiming to surpass the performance and functionality of static code analysis tools. In addition, standard methods for improving code embedding are essential to develop more effective embedding-based systems, similar to augmentation techniques in the image processing domain. …”

Modelling Infiltration Based on Source‐Responsive Method for Improving Simulation of Rapid Subsurface Stormflow by Xuhui Shen, Jintao Liu, Xiaole Han, Hai Yang, Hu Liu, Feiyu Ni

“…Abstract In humid hilly regions, macropore preferential flow in soils dominates the distribution of event water, thereby influencing the generation and development of runoff. However, the mechanism of how soil functions on macropore drainage and matrix absorption remains poorly understood due to complex soil water dynamics in a multi‐porosity subsurface network. …”
