Utilizing small molecules to probe and harness the proteome by pooled protein tagging with ligandable domains by Katherine E. Larrimore, Yevgeniy V. Serebrenik

“…These libraries unlock opportunities to explore the proteome with a versatile toolbox of small molecule probes designed to interact with the fused tags, allowing researchers to visualize protein localization, induce protein misfolding, manipulate protein-protein interactions, modulate protein stability, and more in a scalable, systematic manner. This review explores recent studies employing multifunctional domains at proteome scale, delving into how the associated chemical probes have been employed to enable insights into endogenous protein function, cellular processes, and disease mechanisms. …”

A Dynamic Load Modulation Power Amplifier with Ferroelectric-Based Tunable Matching Network by Pavel Turalchuk, Irina Filipiuk, Bayazet Iskakov

“…Measurement studies of the dynamic load modulation power amplifier have demonstrated an efficiency of at least 50% at 8 dB back-off and more than 60% at peak power at 2.5 GHz. Furthermore, it was found that the modulator output voltage adjustment function on input power of the bias modulator affects the linearity of the output power. …”

Strategies for choice of antiretroviral therapy in patients with HIV infection and concomitant cardiovascular disease: A review by Vasily I. Shakhgildyan, Simon T. Matskeplishvili

“…Comorbidity is gradually becoming one of the main drivers for premature mortality in HIV patients: in Russia, from 2007 to 2022, mortality rates in HIV patients not related to opportunistic infections increased more than twofold. People living with HIV have all the common cardiovascular risk factors, moreover, special attention should be paid to kidney function, since its impact on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk is frequently underestimated. …”

Structural strength analysis and optimization of converter lug based on Kriging model by HE Guanqiang, LIU Yongjiang, LI Hua, CHEN Liming

“…For typical rail transit converters, each static strength analysis with four working conditions costs at least 1 hour, and each random vibration analysis with one axis costs more than 8 hours. As a result, for using traditional engineering optimization methods to optimize the converter structure, the optimization efficiency will be severely limited, since these methods need to invoke a large amount of simulations as function evaluations. …”
