Measuring performances through multiplicative functions by modifying the MEREC method: MEREC-G and MEREC-H by Nuh Keleş

“…Although a nonlinear measurement model is used in the literature, the contribution was made in this study by using multiplicative functions. As an important originality, the authors demonstrated the effect of removing criteria in the MEREC method in a sensitivity analysis by actually removing the alternatives one by one from the model.…”

Digoxin reveals a functional connection between HIV-1 integration preference and T-cell activation. by Alexander Zhyvoloup, Anat Melamed, Ian Anderson, Delphine Planas, Chen-Hsuin Lee, Janos Kriston-Vizi, Robin Ketteler, Andy Merritt, Jean-Pierre Routy, Petronela Ancuta, Charles R M Bangham, Ariberto Fassati

“…Parallel RNAseq and integration mapping in infected cells demonstrated that digoxin inhibited expression of genes involved in T-cell activation and cell metabolism. Analysis of >400,000 unique integration sites showed that WT virus integrated more frequently than N74D mutant within or near genes susceptible to repression by digoxin and involved in T-cell activation and cell metabolism. …”

Effects of soil types<italic/>on phyllosphere microbial community structure and function of hyperaccumulator Sedum alfredii by JIANG Yue, LUO Jipeng, QIAO Yabei, LI Yuhang, ZHANG Yu, ZHOU Runhui, LI Tingqiang

“…Moreover, compared with those in NHE, the co-occurrence networks in HE were more complex in all the soils. PICRUSt2-based functional prediction analysis showed that the soil type significantly affected the relative abundances of glutathione metabolism, D-glutamine and glutamate metabolism, and bacterial chemotaxis pathways in the phyllosphere microorganisms of S. alfredii (p＜0.01), whereas in different soils, the relative abundances of carbohydrate metabolism (citrate cycle) and amino acid metabolism (glutathione metabolism, phenylalanine metabolism, cysteine and methionine metabolism) pathways in the phyllosphere microorganisms of HE were significantly higher than those in NHE (p＜0.01). …”
