Calcification Characteristics of Low-Flow Low-Gradient Severe Aortic Stenosis in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement by Barbara E. Stähli, Thi Dan Linh Nguyen-Kim, Cathérine Gebhard, Thomas Frauenfelder, Felix C. Tanner, Fabian Nietlispach, Francesco Maisano, Volkmar Falk, Thomas F. Lüscher, Willibald Maier, Ronald K. Binder

“…Aortic valve calcification patterns of LFLGAS as compared to non-LFLGAS have not yet been thoroughly assessed. 137 patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with preprocedural multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and postprocedural transthoracic echocardiography were enrolled. …”

Positively selected amino acid replacements within the RuBisCO enzyme of oak trees are associated with ecological adaptations. by Carmen Hermida-Carrera, Mario A Fares, Ángel Fernández, Eustaquio Gil-Pelegrín, Maxim V Kapralov, Arnau Mir, Arántzazu Molins, José Javier Peguero-Pina, Jairo Rocha, Domingo Sancho-Knapik, Jeroni Galmés

“…It has been hypothesized that RuBisCO has evolved differentially depending on the environmental conditions and leaf traits governing internal gas diffusion patterns. Here, we show, using PAML, that amino acid replacements at the residue positions 95, 145, 251, 262 and 328 of the RuBisCO large subunit have been the subject of positive selection along particular Quercus lineages associated with the leaf traits and climate characteristics. …”

Rift basins of the late phanerozoic of Africa: regional patterns and conceptual development aspects by V. M. Usova

“…Results. The following patterns of rift basin development were identified. (1) The final tectonic differentiation of basins and their sedimentation structures of the African granulite belts along which the basins were laid. (2) Rifting migrated from south to north and from west to east from younger granulite belts to older belts with a distance from the evolution centers of the African superplume. …”
